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.

I am a union construction electrician in New York City with Local #3 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. I have worked in several high-rise projects in the New York City area and am familiar with many aspects of construction and fireproofing but I specialize in electrical installations. I belong to a community of workers that has over 50 years of experience building nearly all of New York City's high rise buildings, including the World Trade Center.
I have found that any person with experience in construction, when presented with the facts, is led inexorably to conclude that the official story given on 9/11 is a patchwork collection of reverse scientific method pseudoscience. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth promotes a much more rigorous scientific account of the events on that tragic day than our government has offered us, apparently relying on the American people's ignorance of structural engineering and promoting a consensus in the engineering community that doubting the official story will compromise their career.

My colleagues and I want answers, and we want the people responsible for 9/11 to be punished. Way too much money and too many lives have been spent on fighting 'terrorism'. This is what the US media brainwashes all our citizens with, instead of informing us of the facts about what actually happened on that day. Americans need to be informed and educated so more people can stand up and make a difference.

Laboratory evidence of large amounts of thermite in both the rubble at ground zero and the debris powder in lower Manhattan as well as video documentation of molten steel streaming out of one or both of the towers before collapse is irrefutable. The tower collapses were not natural, but were without a doubt assisted by heavy duty explosives.

Currently retired after 40+ years in mechanical design, test/evaluation and management. I have had some experience in explosive identification and tagging at a national laboratory as well as weapons designs.
Real time observations on September 11, 2001 of the collapse of each of the twin towers, as provided by the national TV networks, led me to the same conclusion: controlled demolitions. Subsequent analysis, as found on the internet and in various publications released by non-government entities, have clearly demonstrated the validity of that conclusion for each of the three towers. The problem at hand is to achieve a government sponsored study that is truthful and fact based; education of the US population and electing a legislature that is reponsive to the US population is important though problematic.

Graduated from University of Arizona 1950 and worked for various companies (Fluor Corporation, Fisher Contracting, Pan American World Airways Guided Missile Range Department) and also the U.S. government (Federal Aviation Agency, U.S. Forest Service). Also. self employed 12 years before I retired doing land surveying, percolation tests, structural design of log homes and small buildings.
I accepted the government's conspiracy story as given out by the main stream media and did not give much, if any, thought to it until a neighbor on March 1, 2006 brought me a story from the Desert Morning News in SLC, Utah. It was dated 1-28-06. I contacted the journalist and asked if there were any other stories and she sent me two others. After reading them and finally thinking about it and based on my engineering education and experience, I realized that we have been lied to and that there was a coverup. For instance if the floors pancaked and fell one on the other from the fires, which could not possibly melt and cut the steel, the 47 massive columns over a quarter mile high would still be standing! There was no forensic investigation and the steel fell in lengths that could be loaded and trucked to the west coast and shipped to Asia. Also the R9/11 Commission report did not mention the 47 story WTC 7, which fell the afternoon that the two towers fell in the morning! A sure sign of a false report. My opinion is that the 3 WTC buildings fell as a result of planted cutting charges - an inside job. Regarding the Pentagon, I believe from the size of the hole in the ext. wall and lack of airplane debris, that it must have been a missile. As for the 4th plane that supposedly crashed near Shanksville, PA, there was only a smoking hole in the ground and all the debris was scattered over a very wide area so it must have been shot down.

I have a military background and am an experienced controlled blasting expert, having worked on the tunnel in Azad Jammu Kashmir for a mega hydel power project.
Beyond a doubt, the WTC buildings were a highly professional controlled demolition job. It must have taken about 6-8 weeks of preparation. The evidence collected and the design simulation calculations show that US government and NIST offered explanations that do not hold water. What is astonishing and totally humiliating is the fact that the government thought the world was full of morons, and that they could pull this off by saying utter nonsense like jet fuel caused the collapses.

The official analysis of the WTC building collapses does not account for observed data regarding the way the buildings came down. In addition, the collapse of building 7 is not sufficiently explained. It is my opinion that the simple collapse of steel columns supporting the upper portion of the two buildings (purportedly due to weakening by fire) and the subsequent fall of the upper section of each building would not generate the massive, immediate expulsion of debris in all directions from the buildings, and at the rate and distance from the buildings as was observed and recorded.

It is obvious the official report is complete BS and this was an inside job. Once you research the real facts of the incident, particularly building 7 (the smoking gun), there is no debate. Only a matter of time before truth comes out, it is impossible to cover it up at this point. Very sad why the truth has taken so long to become publicly accepted and acknowledged. I hope people open their eyes soon.

At first I could not believe our government could do such a thing. My husband was a Milwaukee Fire Fighter for 30 years and he kept telling me jet fuel cannot bring down a skyscraper. He said it would just burn up. That is why the fire fighters were in the process of climbing to the top of the tower to save people. We then went to a talk at the Milwaukee Public Library that was given by Mr. Gage. After that talk I was convinced the fire did not bring down the towers. The whole 911 had so many unanswered questions it was unbelievable.

There is absolutely no way the government's official myth stands up to even the most perfunctory scrutiny.

WTC 7 came down in its own footprint at free fall speed. For this to happen, all support columns must have give way at the same time, indicating a controlled demolition. The model that NIST provides does not match what actually happened. Further the source code of the model is classified.

Anything that I have researched over these last 14 years, leads me to raise a full cloud of suspicion for the media and the gov. narrative of 911. A blind society has to remove the veils without any passions. No other truth will replace the current LIES, unless our society reviews the brain washing from our MAIN MEDIA INDUSTRY. Manipulation is so strong, i doubt any real investigation may get to be put in motion.

But the ones with the power and the money got away with mass murder and made billions in the process. I would just like to add my name in support of this campaign.
I still don't under stand how soft aluminum manages to slice a near perfect cut out of a plane going through super hardened solid steel girders like a hot knife through butter. And the nose of one actually comes out the other side of one of the towers. You owe your people an explanation.

I would love to know the truth about what happened on 9/11. There are mountains of evidence which prove the buildings collapsed via planned demolition. The plane entering the building showed no resistance on collision and penetrated the steel frames like cutting through cheese, and jet fuel could not have melted the steel frames. Only thermite could which was present at the base of the building! WTC7 falling on its own due to internal fires is ridiculous. How could a building fall so effortlessly at the rate of gravity from a few fires that were in fact burning out. Too much evidence has been ignored and the people of America have a right to know what really happened. If there is nothing to hide at the world trade center site then a full investigation should be granted.
