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 area is in water resources, but the basic CE curriculum provides enough basis to understand the physics and structural evidence presented by the experts. My software simulation background tells me that simulation results without knowing the inputs to the simulation are meaningless. That NIST is secretive about their methods casts grave doubts on their reported results.

It is obvious that WTC Bldg 7 was intentionally demolished. No degree of external damage could have simultaneously knocked out all internal piers, resulting in the free fall, pancaking vertical fall of Bldg 7. Bldg 7's fall was identical to many intentional building demolitions. Since Bldg 7's failure is suspect, all events of that day are suspect.

I am a 9/11 Surviving Victim that was inside both Towers while both planes were inside above me. I lived it up close including the massive thunderous percussion explosions inside the Towers and beneath the street level floor where the Galleria Mall existed with stores like Victoria Secret, J. Crew, COACH, Biddle & Banks Jewelry & banks like Chase. I was on the South side of Tower II, the South Tower standing in front of the Lobby doors at street level & watched the 2nd plane come in from the NY Harbor & fly in right above me into the tower above me as I watched with explosion underneath my feet as the plane entered the building with explosions also, above me blowing me back. Richard Gage and others know who I am. Ricki A. DeSantis- 911 Survivor/Responder

Concerning the events of 9/11, I think that the focus should be exclusively on the trust and integrity that we have in engineers and architects, which result in a very high level of public safety with regard to the structural integrity of our buildings. And, there should be a comparison of actual evidence with the official story. I knew that the official 9/11 story was a long way from the truth when I saw the original Loose Change video on 9/11. However, the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have created even better quality arguments against the official story.

The vast amount of evidence I have seen presented in the numerous AE911 documentaries, webinars, etc. that refutes the official conclusions of NIST is alarming and disturbing. The evidence is overwhelming and needs to be addressed in an official investigation.

I was a long-time U.S. Asset covering the Iraqi Embassy, and my team received warnings about the 9/11 attack throughout the spring and summer of 2001. My intelligence handler directed me to threaten the Iraqi government with War in the event that Baghdad uncovered intelligence regarding the conspiracy and failed to hand it over. Subsequently, when I requested to testify before Congress, I was arrested on the Patriot Act and thrown in prison on a Texas military base. My reputation was destroyed.
From personal experience, I know that we expected a major attack that would inflict major casualties, involving airplane hijackings and a strike on the World Trade Center. In August 2001, my CIA handler warned me to stay out of New York City because the attack was imminent.

I have simply been following the news and video's about 9/11. I do not have any particular degree, just wanted to show my support.
I have no reason to believe that the Bush admin. (or any other for that matter) are any more honest or innocent than say the brutal Roman powers 2000 years ago, amongst a whole slew of other corrupt governmental powers throughout our collective history (including many that are currently in power throughout the world). I think it is quite clear, or rather glaringly obvious, that something happened on 9/11 that 'they' don't want us to know, and I'm pretty sure We as The People are not going to be too happy when it is finally revealed, if (and that's a big if) it is ultimately revealed at all.

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.
