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.

Although initially unpretentiously, I remember having commented with my wife (she's an Architect) on the very day of the attacks, when I first watched the images: 'doesn't that looks like an implosion?' Since then I've been looking for information and my convictions are now settled. Now I say that this cannot be left aside, the world needs to know the truth. Something has to be done.

While watching the first edition of Loose Change on TV here in France around 2003, I saw the collapse of Tower 7. I knew immediately that this was a demolition. And then I jumped down the rabbit hole, into an uncertain world. For me, the US government has no credibility at home nor internationally until it resolves this crime.

Judging the evidence presented in the video with what I knew from my study of structures in college and my technical knowledge obtained by working as an engineer for more than 30 years led me to the conclusion that a new investigation needs to be conducted to find the true cause of the World Trade buildings collapse.

I saw WTC collapse when I was student in VGTU (Technical University in Vilnius). I suddenly realized, that it looked like control demolition. Nothing else. All these 15 years of my professional career I studied buildings construction failures, repairs after earthquakes and fires. I should say, that my opinion just improved with the knowledge and experience. Buildings doesn't collapse the way we see WTC collapsed vertically. If there were local construction failure, it would collapse partly, non symmetrically. It's absolutely clear, that authorities hiding something. It's absolutely clear, that American citizen and the rest of the world should know the truth. I believe that AE comunity will make it possible. And I am proud to be a part of AE for the 911 truth!

Anyone with even a basic understanding of structural design and physics would have to question the 9/11 Commission report. The reason given for the collapse of Building 7 into its own foot print is beyond plausible. Through the diligent efforts of the Lawyers' Committee for 911 Inquiry and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, hopefully the truth will finally come out.

Buildings just don't fall like that, it is clear to me that there were other forces at play. The impact, the fire that followed could simply not bring down those structures.

High school and 3 years college, plus a lot of self education. My experience is that the government is run by corporate greed. My family had a cattle ranch and they took our land that we wintered our cattle on using eminent domain, which led to us having to sell off all our cattle. When I tried using some of our other land as a music venue they came in with 90 officers and a black hawk helicopter. They beat up multiple people, including myself, and arrested 27 of us. We filed a civil suit and they dropped the charges but have kidnapped and incarcerated me on multiple occasions for trumped up charges. This all started in the early 90's and continues to this day.
Obviously brought down by demolition explosives. I believe the government did this so they could have their never ending war on terror and to pass the patriot act.

Clearly building demolitions, as the fires weren't near the temperature to bend steel let alone melt it as was seen. Also, some pictures clearly showed columns cut at about 45 degrees at the base of the Towers. No fire has collapsed a high rise building ever in the history of high rises, but we're to believe that this happened 3 times on 9/11....?

The whole story sounds completely wrong and against basic laws of physics. I do believe in the laws of physics, so I can't swallow the official version. An independent investigation must be conducted by respect to all the victims of this sad day and its aftermath (16 years of non stop war and hundreds of thousand of dead all around the world).

Just an educated chef. Nothing special which is why I find it so strange that someone of my nature sees the obvious in all the lies. This needs to get out. The truth needs to get out.
My sister joined the military after 9/11 because she felt patriotic and wanted to help the good fight. I believe she was lied to, as well as many others that may have taken these actions, under a false flag, to become slaves to the government deserve to hear the truth.All the people that lost their lives, that day and everyday since and their families deserve to hear the truth.All the evidence that I've seen and shared has told me that the official story is a farce and I am looked at as a conspiracy theorist. The more people that know the truth, the stronger we all are.

Would somebody please explain how a building can collapse at near free fall speed unless the structural resistance has been eliminated first?Jet fuel (kerosene) burns@ 800 - 1,500 degrees & steel melts @ 2750'F. If the steel only had to lose structural strength to then why didn't the towers flop over like wet noodles instead of dropping into the basement in a nice neat fashion normally associated with controlled demolitions? Explain large structure fires that burn for weeks and leave a skeleton behind?

Most of my life I have worked in blue collar or low level administrative jobs. In my late forties I graduated from Indiana University Southeast with a B.A. in Economics and Philosophy. I then attended University of Kentucky's graduate school of philosophy for one year where I taught courses in Introductory Logic. I subsequently taught several courses in Introductory Logic, Introductory Ethics and Introductory Philosophy at Indiana University Southeast.
I have watched the three buildings come down many times with many different theories offered as to the how, who, and what--from controlled demolitions to directed energy weapons to nuclear explosions in the basements that funneled like a volcano up the buildings. Each of these three theories seems to explain certain phenomena better than the other two. However, although I have no expertise in architecture or engineering, I did take a physics course in high school. I can observe how the three buildings collapsed. I can hear the on scene statements of firefighters and other eye witnesses. I am able to listen to experts in the relevant fields. Without a truly independent and thorough investigation, I can only conclude that something besides jet impact, kerosene fireballs, or black smoke fires is responsible for the buildings collapse.

Below is a link to the Zoom lecture I gave in October 2020.October 14, 2020Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Presenter: George Davidson (SSI Member)Over 3500 architects and engineers have signed a petition calling upon the U.S. Congress to open a truly independent investigation into the World Trade Center destruction. Why? Their goal is to move our collective understanding of the WTC destruction beyond the misinformation so that we as a society may arrive at an accurate understanding of one of the most important events in our recent history. During this class you will see and hear what these experts have to say. Learn the truth, learn the facts. Your beliefs should match the facts and not the other way around - when people change the facts to match their beliefs the result is cognitive dissonance. The cure? Truth.

I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology. I have spent countless hours in the past six years researching the events of 9/11.
The official conspiracy story presented by the 9/11 Commission completely defies the laws of physics and fails to present any evidence that the aeroplanes alone, and the subsequent fires that they ignited, could have brought down all three WTC buildings. However, there is overwhelming evidence that counteracts this story and suggests that the Towers where brought down in a controlled demolition using nano-thermite and explosives.

My fascination lies in the destruction of WTC Tower 7. Even recently as we see a fire engulf a skyscraper in Paris, and it not completely collapsing, it doesn't take a scientist to realize something other than what we have been told took place.

Official story is Bs. Jet fuel does not get hot enough in the ignition or burning process to melt steel. Also, most of the fuel would have been used upon the initial explosion.
