The AE911Truth Petition
To the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate of the United States of America,
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT:
On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapses of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.

My Best Friend and fellow Pratt graduate and Architect, Frank DeMartini, was PA Manager of Construction at the WTC. He was killed helping to clear the North Tower where he had an office on the 88th Floor. I thought I would grow old with Frank. Now I just want to know the truth about the collapse and what and who actually killed him.

I have designed many large structural projects over a 40 year span including such projects as a one million square foot industrial plant, largest oil and gas drilling rig capable of drilling to 25,000 feet below surface, and the largest freestanding steel cross standing 19 stories and weighing 2.5 million pounds (to name a few).
Engineering is the only exact science in the world -- we know how to erect structures and how to demolish them also. We do not practice engineering as the law and medical professions do. Without a DOUBT, these structures failed from a deliberate controlled demolition effort. There is not a tall slender structure anywhere that would fail in a symmetrical footprint mode like the 3 towers did unless it was designed to do so. Jet fuel combustion temperature would not even get close to the temps required to bring down the core columns of those structures (ASTM E-119 steel).

CA Licenses: Architect C9585, Civil Engineer C30541 - - I was a summer intern at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1972 when the North tower of the WTC was being completed. I graduated from Columbia in 1974 and went on to practice architecture and civil engineering for 8 years. I am now a computer specialist in integration, CAD and software engineering.
By 9/12 I was convinced that there was something fishy about the collapse of the WTC. I learned about progressive collapse from my engineering professors at Columbia, and I found it hard to imagine that the twin towers could have failed in that way. They were specifically designed to resist impact and load applied by the collision of a Boeing 707 jet. The buildings appeared to have been destroyed by an engineered demolition. When I articulated my suspicions, however, I was met with derision. I have continued, however, in my conviction that the buildings were intentionally destroyed.

Occupation: Author Of The 9/11 Crusade
Author of THE 9/11 CRUSADE - A FACT BASED NOVEL. Researched the ongoing debate concerning obvious problems with conclusions of the Report of the 9/11 Commission. Realizing the vast majority of Americans were ignorant of the debate, I wrote the novel in hopes that through dialogue between the characters, problems with the official explanation could be analyzed and summarized in an easily understood presentation. The 7 pages of reference notes at the end of novel are duplicated on the website with direct links to referenced websites.
FROM THE NOVEL: Sid was incredulous. 'Marty, how do they explain that the massive inner columns just disappeared. I mean, come on, if the trusses and girders had failed, allowing the floors to fall, those central column beams would have been left standing. You'd have these skeletal remains still standing. I can't believe anyone would believe this story. 'Are they giving the same reason for both towers collapsing? I mean come on. The first tower hit might, and I don't really believe it, but might be able to collapse this way. But the second tower hit, the first to fall, probably had little damage to the central core. Hell most of the fuel from that aircraft seemed to fly out the side of the building based upon that incredible fireball. The second plane only caught the corner of the outer wall. I doubt there was any real damage done to most of the core. Certainly not enough to, in any way, conform to that story of pancaking floors.' Marty agreed, 'Exactly. Now you understand the problem.'

From the photographs, I can observe hundreds of full-length girders being flung up and out around the tops of the buildings. No plausible official explanation explains this phenomenon as a product of collision of fires at lower levels; i.e., implosion due to the force of gravity could not have made the top explode. Furthermore, I observe white-hot molten metal pouring out of some of the openings; jet-fuel fires cannot melt metals to white-hot temperatures, especially with the preponderance of black smoke, which connotes oxygen-poor flames.

The destruction of Building Seven and it's intentional cover up is proof 9/11 was planned by persons involved in the US government. They were aware of it and complicit in it. The continued acts of denial can only be seen as an admission of guilt.

I don't have much of an education, but I do have a good understanding of physics and chemistry as I took advanced classes in both courses. Definitely not an expert, but the story given by the government just doesn't sit well with me, and hasn't even before I heard of this 'conspiracy'
I was young when 9/11 happened. I remember sitting in my 6th grade class watching it live on TV. Since then it has never set well with me, watching it live and watching everyone around you go absolutely psycho because of an attack on America, it was just bad... I couldn't ignore the fact that almost everyone on that single day had mentioned explosions in the lower levels and just kept comparing the buildings to the controlled demolition. You can't really ignore that, and when all these theories came to light I just can't accept the government's position on the matter. Too many doubts from too many people, I'm not going to place blame but we really need an independent investigation on the matter. The reluctance of the government's cooperation for one is just another reason for doubt in this case.

I am looking for a better way to compress large quantities of structural steel that I ship overseas, if I could turn it into powder the savings on shipping volume would be beneficial, impossibly cost prohibitive I'm sure. Can the amount of energy that it would take to turn steel into powder, then be factored for an energy cost?

I have always been suspicious that there is a lot more to learn as to what actually happened on 911. We all know that it is impossible that the two towers and building 7 could have come down by fires. It is clear they came down due to expert demolition and there was a massive cover up because a real investigation was prevented. I also believe that the news media must be held accountable for their unwillingness to expose what really happened.

In the late 90's I transferred into Cal Poly civil engineering and switched to social science during the 9/11 whitewash process as a senior. Was a member of SCE and attended the pancake theory meetings the club had with the paid for scientists on tour. Later I went on to study in the history masters program before being targeted by Frankfurt School of thought corporate insiders, despite having a 3.4 average and only two seminars to go I was barred from registration for political reasons.
We all know who pushed the fake pancake theory. And recent events have proven controls of our institutions have been compromised in the name of profit and outright thievery practices. The ones receiving the criminal government largesse are feeding at the trough and should be exposed as outright traitors working for quislings in the nest that prefer profit making wars over law and order. That is all 9/11 was ever about. As was the Reichstag Fire.

All documented forensic evidence provided by 9/11Truth confirms without a doubt in my mind 9/11 did not happen as explained by our government. The evidence offered by 9/11Truth totally diminishes what our government has offered as evidence and substantiates 9/11Truth's thesis. What we witness in the Middle East today is the results of this criminal atrocity.

It's plainly obvious to the unconditioned, critically thinking citizen that much was wrong with the way the WTC Towers and Building 7 were destroyed. I think it was a controlled demolition and that the buildings' destruction was a false flag attack meant to usher in the draconian laws, endless warfare and general government overreach that have been upheld by the Bush and Obama Administrations.

I was a classical piano major at Duquesne U... later had a falling accident which left me paralyzed on the same night I signed a recording contract. I've examined evidence from all angles.... official story, and conspiracy theories, and the more I looked at the evidence, the faster the official explanation fell apart.
All evidence shows a controlled demolition. I ask for truth, and those who were truly involved, to be held accountable not just for the killing of thousands of innocent lives, but also for the harm inflicted upon these United States, especially with the passed 'Patriot Act'.

I am absolutely convinced the world trade center buildings on 9/11/01 were destroyed by explosives. The steel beams would never collapse due to fire. The firefighters are trained to recognize life threatening circumstances and they were confident a collapse was not possible. In my opinion this is why they aggressively pursued the climb to the highest levels of the towers. They knew they could put out the smoldering fires and rescue thousands of people. They also reported hearing explosions on the lower floors far below the aircraft impact areas. Those buildings fell at free fall speed right into their footprints without any resistance from the fortified steel cores. Absolutely impossible without the use of very powerful explosives strategically placed throughout the structure of each building just like a planned demolition or implosion.

I have seen trucks ram concrete walls and bridge abutments that end up as piles of mangled steel with little to no damage to concrete and steel. I question if an airplane would penetrate steel reinforced concrete like it was going into soft butter. We owe a new investigation to all of the innocent lives they have murdered.
