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.

It is really Doesn't make any sense for me as a structural engineer working in the field of progressive collapse and blast analysis that the towers specially WTC 7 collapse in that way. I've been working in demolition industry for years now and i can see that this is a controlled demolition case.

The collapse of Building 1,2 &7 are so similar to controlled demolition of other buildings...that it isn't even funny. Fire does not cause buildings to collapse at near free fall speed! Why does the government want to suppress a new independent investigation? We as the American people, not just professionals need to demand a new truly independent investigation!

I think the main reason many people don't want to even consider the possibility (some say certainty) that the reasons for the WTC collapse is that it makes you consider the implications--the who/what/whys...and forces you to consider some ideas so horrible and evil that no one would want to face it. But reluctance is not a valid reason for not seeking the answer.

The official story just did not make sense to me. I was in disbelief watching those three buildings fall, especially the last one, #7. When I think of it now, I am absolutely amazed that so many people can be so easily fooled. If they would just THINK for a minute, they might realize.

The moment I saw the first Tower collapse I said to my wife this is not how buildings collapse, not on their own anyway. A further investigation into well-known facts confirmed what I already knew. I still wonder why the majority of US citizens do not seek the truth themselves. Hopefully things change.

I consider the Government's official 9/11 story to be a fairy tale for children and an insult to the intelligence of Americans.

1. Independent researchers around the world have assembled a large body of evidence that overwhelmingly refutes the notion that airplane impacts and fires caused the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7. This body of evidence, most of which FEMA and NIST omitted from their reports, instead supports the troubling conclusion that the skyscrapers were destroyed in a process known as 'controlled demolition,' where explosives and/or other devices are used to bring down a building.- Demolition theory proponents, such as Brigham Young University physicist Steven E. Jones, architect Richard Gage, software engineer Jim Hoffman, and theologian David Ray Griffin, argue that the aircraft impacts and resulting fires could not have weakened the buildings sufficiently to initiate a catastrophic collapse, and that the buildings would not have collapsed completely, nor at the speeds that they did, without additional factors weakening the structure. -2. The towers which opened first on April 4, 1973 - at that time being the tallest buildings in the world - required some $200 million in renovations and improvements, most of which related to removal and replacement of building materials declared to be health hazards in the years before.'On September 11, 2001, the three worst structural failures in modern history took place when World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2, and 7 suffered complete and rapid destruction' http://ae911truth.org 3. In January 2001, Larry Silverstein made a $3.2 billion bid for the lease to the World Trade Center. Silverstein was outbid by $30 million by Vornado Realty, with others also competing for the lease. However, Vornado withdrew finally and Silverstein's bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001, about 6 weeks prior to the attacks. This was the first time in the building's history that the complex had changed management.When attacks really took place on 9/11, Silverstein's insurance plan happened to cover terrorist attacks 'by chance'. But that just wasn't enough, Silverstein filed a lawsuit against the insurance company wanting a double payment, since there were two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center Towers. The court acknowledged his claim therefore Silverstein was paid $4,550,000,000.

BS in Geology from SUNY Brockport 1981Worked as a field engineer for Schlumberger for over 30 years. Worked on drilling rigs during the drilling of oil and gas wells. I started out as a mud logging engineer ( analyzing the drill cuttings and determining lithology, monitoring drilling parameters and gas analysis to detect abnormal pressure - Gulf of Mexico)Then I became an MWD/LWD engineer (using down-hole instrumentation tools incorporated in the drill string to identify lithology and hydrocarbons in real time while drilling). I spent the last 15 years of my career with Shlumberger as a directional driller (steering the well to the geologic target, and helping to remedy drilling engineering problems arising during the drilling of the well).
I believe that all three World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. Wall street had for-knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. There was an astronomical amount of 'Put' options against the airlines involved (basically 'insider trading') If Wall street knew, then I believe that factions of the US government also knew, and planned to allow this to happen (diverting the air defense of the east coast of the US on 9/11) and also were involved with arming the buildings with explosives to perform a controlled demolition after the buildings were struck by the passenger jets.

It is such an awful thing that happened on 9/11. So many innocent lives were taken away and then the government tries to cover up what really happened. To me it is quite obvious that the 3 buildings were demolished. It is a sad thing that so many people do not believe it. The people who were really behind the destruction need to be discovered and their motives revealed to the public.
