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.

There are too many unanswered questions and contradictory statements regarding the collapse of buildings at the WTC. It was a multi-year legal battle to have to Port Authority of NY/NJ take responsibility for lax security in the underground parking facilities. True, it was aircraft that crashed into the buildings, but what went on before to make that possible?

He has provided multi-discipline professional design and construction services at various project levels for civil, structural, MEP, hospitality, commercial and resort/campus-wide systems integration. Mr. Rice's experience has also included providing strategic leadership for the day-to-day operation of both a multi-discipline engineering and a design-build contracting business with multiple locations, managing business and project accounting needs. He has served as a multi-discipline design engineer, QA/QC lead for construction and design services, comprehensive multi-discipline constructability reviewer and as a project manager. He has also served as a construction superintendent, construction administrator, coordinator of consultants, general and subcontractor teams, commissioning manager and agent, project estimator, construction inspector and liaison with owners and 3rd party representatives.
It is my professional opinion as an engineer with over 20 years of experience and a US Army officer combat engineer trained in explosives that the narrative put forth by the main stream media is egregiously in error. The destruction of the twin towers and WTC Building 7 was not as a result of aircraft impacts. The destruction and lives lost are the result of carefully placed demolitions. The truth needs to be disclosed to the public and those responsible for its destruction have a lot to answer for.

I do not believe that the towers and WTC 7 could have collapsed in such a uniform manner, given the temperatures at which the jet fuel burned and the duration of time that had elapsed before they collapsed. Also, the presence of thermite in samples of building materials has not been fully investigated and resolved.

I chose to graduate in electrical engineering. I loved statics and dynamics and have learned to love chemistry as well. I learn science as a passion. After playing poker for a living over 7 years now, another passion of mine is learning about people; how they develop to be who they are, and how we interact with each other.
As a professional poker (think casino, not clicking a mouse) player, I know how to read people well. I think it's safe to say that most of the people in the Bush White house, as well as the leaders of NIST and the 9/11 Commision Report, are lying to us about what they know, or chose to not look into. I have seen lists of 15 items long of evidences of explosive, controlled demolition. For those guys to say they say NO evidence, and didn't even consider it an option, they are obviously lying. As a lover of science, I agree with all of the points made by Richard Gage and AE911truth.org I have pledged to be more influential in spreading this news to my friends for them to spread.

Thinking about how one would explain this 9/11 phenomenon to a non-technical person: first of all, the fire was not hot enough to collapse the building, even if it were to burn for a very long time. And the way that the building fell, with such symmetry and neatness, can only be accomplished by implosion demolition. We have all seen video footage of buildings destroyed in this way, done by experts; this is the same. My field of education was about exactly this type of thing: stress and structural failure. There is no other way that it could occur, and I stake my reputation upon it.

Having been in the construction industry (16 yrs at the time of 9-11) and as I watched it happen on TV I just couldn't wrap my head around it , just really struck me as wrong on the explanation of why the buildings collapsed . Myself, just as a lot of people in the construction industry that I have spoken with have always thought that building 7 looked to be a controlled demolition and have always believed it needed experts (other than NIST) to do a full investigation on the exact cause of buildings coming down .

It's too obvious that the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers could not have happened by the steel melting, since the speed of the collapse and the path of the collapse are both indicative of controlled demolition sequence of events.

Graduated from BCIT robotics & automation program. I have studied much of the information out there and the sheer volume of contradictory evidence from the official report places no doubt that the official story was not truthful. You do not need to be formally educated in any way to simply see gross amount of misconduct involved here.
It was obviously a controlled demolition as there is no other method of pulverizing hundreds of tons of concrete in mere seconds. No amount of fire or jet plane fuel will pulverize that much concrete into a pyroclastic flow (as if from a volcano) other than if it was caused by explosives (that were strategically placed throughout the entire building well in advance of the plane crashes)

I am a high school grad, had courses in both physics and chemistry.
In my opinion, there is no way all three WTC buildings collapse into virtually their own footprint without controlled demolition. Surely, given the uneven heating of the jet fuel, if it could achieve the melting point of steel, the buildings, with their high center of gravity, would have simply toppled over into surrounding structures. Oh, and one other fact, heat rises, no exceptions. How does the mainstream theory explain the lower part of the structures failing? The answer is that they can't.

Building 7 collapsed without any plane hitting it, collapse happened at free-fall speed (no resistance from lower floors), perfectly symmetric collapse, no steel-framed skyscraper collapsed due to fire before, Twin Towers 'pile-driver' theory violates Newton's 3rd law of motion (force equals counter-force), collapse also happened in perfect symmetry and at near free-fall speed, Twin Towers were LITERALLY blown up with pyroclastic clouds all over Manhattan, molten steel was found in the basement. It somehow amazes me how the official story is still alive after 14 years!

I'm a medical student. Passionate about science and politics. I've been looking into evidence of all kinds to see the official version of the events only to come to the conclusion it is not just due to the planes nor the fires.
I think the planes and fire are just here to distract us from the fact that they actually used thermite. All this to justify actions in Iraq and multiple financial contracts the US government concluded after the events.

I was 14 when all of this happened. I wanted to go there and help. I have only a high school diploma for education. But I have great common sense. I have always felt that there are things that needed to be explained more in detail. It was only a couple of years ago that I started researching more about 9/11 that lead me to this point.
I feel very upset. I am really upset about how the investigation took place if any for that matter. I love to watch forensic shows that prove people to be innocent or guilty through science. Because everyone can lie. but when the moral facade is shattered by irrefutable evidence, everything comes to the surface and people have to actually remove their mask to reveal their true self. Because honestly no one really knows a person, (how they think what they feel there true desires etc..) except the person themselves. With the buildings I believe that they were brought down by other forces whether that be explosives, thermite, or thermate, and not but structure failure, or fire. I want to know the truth.

Although I only received a 12th grade education I have constantly researched fields of interests in my adulthood. These fields are various but include world history as it pertains to war, invention, political power and world leaders. Physics as it pertains to particle physics, theories of relativity, and quantum computing. Engineering as it pertains to gear nomenclature, torque and mechanical advantage.
I have always been suspect of the destruction of the WTC buildings. It was unpopular to question the official account of what happened in my area so the number of people available with which to discuss these ideas are limited. I have extensive knowledge in cutting and working with carbon steel so the idea that jet fuel could have caused the collapse is almost laughable. In open air situations there would be an insufficient ability to generate the heat needed to weaken structurally the steel that supported the building.
