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.

Close to 35 years experience designing, constructing and maintaining major structures for state government agency.
A rudimentary knowledge of physics and in particular Newton's laws of motion is all that is needed to realize that all three collapses could not have happened as we have been led to believe. It is simply not physically possible for a structure to collapse at near-free fall speed and, at the same time, pulverize all of its concrete and steel into tiny fragments; there is not sufficient energy available to achieve both results simultaneously. A collapse at near-free fall speed would require that there be absolutely no internal resistance within the structure to hinder its acceleration under gravity. Buildings such as these are designed for combinations of extreme loads that include earthquakes and hurricanes with a sizeable factor of safety thrown in. On a calm day, for buildings with lower than full occupancy, each of the WTC towers' strength capacity was quite likely five to six times higher than that required to support its actual applied loads. Each of the plane impacts were toward the tops of each of the Towers and, of course, the buildings get very considerably stronger toward the lower levels to support the loads applied from above. For this massively strong support structure to just crumble away at near-freefall speed would have required immense amounts of explosive energy; the 'collapses', quite simply, cannot have occurred any other way! There is no doubt that there were vast quantities of extra energy applied to the structures to achieve both rapid collapses and complete destruction of their components. This energy can realistically only have come from explosive charges. Anyone who views the videos can see that the Twin Towers exploded outward and upward during their collapse, quite simply impossible in a pure collapse scenario. The chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at near-free fall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote as to be beyond even consideration. 9/11 is an event that has changed world history and the lives of millions, mostly for the worst. I do not want to sit back and pretend it was one thing, when I know with 100% certainty it was something quite different. The greatest crime of all time must be subject to the best investigation of all time!

As an engineer who understands the fundamentals of science, I can't imagine how fire brought down Building 7. If Building 7 fell due to something other than fire, then questions regarding the other buildings come into play. I demand a proper investigation into 9/11!

I have been an engineer for 26 years and have worked in South Africa and the USA. For the last 13 years I have lived in Detroit, and for most of this time I have been involved in automotive suspension design, catering to the OEM automotive market. My work has involved design analysis, product development, problem solving, project management and customer liaison.
It has become clear to me that the official story, that describes the reasons for the 911 WTC building collapses, is fundamentally flawed. There are hundreds of gaping anomalies and unanswered questions. The most obvious question is how Building 7 collapsed. The much delayed explanation appears fraudulent. Similar very substantial issues remain with the Building 1 and 2 official reports. The most plausible explanation appears to be that of controlled demolition - for the destruction all three buildings. It is important that the truth is known - of what really happened. Most of all, this is owed to the families of the victims, who had to fight long and hard for the first official report - which was a dismal failure. A new investigation is needed imminently.

2+2=4. When 2+2=6 because someone says so and they are not willing to have an open debate about it, it is clear they are trying to hide something. 9/11 was an inside job, and people should go to prison either for ordering it, or for covering for the one giving the orders. I've been investigating the games our government plays on us for the last six years. There is clearly a plan to control the many to serve the needs of a few.

Till the beginning of the Iraq war I never had doubted the official version of 911. I even was not aware of the WTC 7 collapse. After the false statements about the nuclear threat justifying the Iraq invasion I started to get more interested in the 911 and Iraq war connections. Everyone who has only the slightest knowledge about physics and engineering has to doubt the official version of the WTC 7 collapse.

I am pretty sure it was a controlled demolition done by the government. There is too much evidence that supports that. It was done in order to have 'permission' of the American people to go to the war. The war generates lots of money. In the end, it is all about money and power.

I was busy working that day, a colleague told me that a plane hit a tower and I should come and watch it on TV. I couldn't because I was too busy. A little later, he showed up again with the news that a second plane hit the other tower and the building had collapsed. At that moment I was sure it wasn't an accident and the thought of a whole skyscraper collapsing because of a plane flying into it, was so far from my understanding of physics. I assumed the planes were just a red herring to cover a controlled demolition. The remaining pieces of information I found via torrent...

Overwhelming evidence indicates the use of military grade explosives to demolish WTC buildings one, two and seven on September 11, 2001. Also, many chains of command as it pertains to the removal of the steel from WTC buildings one, two and seven were ignored when it was quickly shipped to China as scrap metal.

I will never forget seeing the attacks on the WTC over the internet and later on the UK news. When I saw the film of the towers collapsing I had heard people were saying the buildings had also been bombed, and I believed it. I could not believe that such modern high-rise buildings could fail so catastrophically. In August 2018 I found videos of David Ray Griffin on YouTube and have since seen many, and bought some of his books, as well as watching Richard Gage's videos. I am absolutely convinced these skyscrapers were brought down by previously planted explosives. I'm 53 and hope the truth will come out in my lifetime.

It's obvious in my opinion that at least the current NIST investigation report is fraud with inconsistent and unfavorable data and evidence. Something as important as 9/11 will always have doubters, yet I believe that at least our leading experts on architecture and engineering should be confident in the results of a real investigation conclusion. The former investigation has been debunked and a high majority of top experienced unbiased experts point out both the number of problems with the original investigation, but also the possibility of criminal misuse of evidence and intentional misconduct amongst the original investigative bodies and branches. Simply a new investigation should not only be required, but unsettled until its conclusion is agreed upon by a majority of experts within this field using the scientific method and transparency.
