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 have personally worked with box columns and I beams, welding, cutting, rigging pipes onto. I have seen pics of the cut box columns, and I know for a fact this could not be done by jet fuel in any way. I believe Building 7 speaks for itself. A new investigation must be conducted.

I have a B.S. in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology from Spring Garden College, Philadelphia, PA. I am a licensed contractor and an inventor with US Patents (mid 70's to present).
It definitely appears that Bldg #7 was a controlled demolition along with the other towers. It was announced on TV that #7 was going to come down and I also saw a clip of Larry Silverstein say pull it, which is a demolition term. Popular Mechanics said it was brought down by fire, which is totally contradictory to what the news and silverstein said. How could all these explosives be set for #7 between 11AM and 5:20PM? It takes weeks of planning to set explosives for demolition. This leads me to believe that the explosives were set long before 9/11. The fact that the ground was still burning up to 3 months after is also an indication that jet fuel was not the culprit. Witnesses said there was greenish smoke coming from the ground and some rescue workers said there shoes were melting. What happened to all the office furniture and door knobs in the buildings?

Currently a part-time chauffeur for Limousines Incorporated of West Allis, WI and part-time math tutor.
The tragedy to the American people on September 11, 2001 with the collapse of 3 buildings at the World Trade Center in NY, NY that took several lives was deliberately allowed to happen by President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and others to justify going to war. This is an act of treason taking a country to war just like it was by Nazi Germany prior to World War 2 that was based upon a lie. Many within the military-industrial-petroleum complex wanted to go to war against Iraq and Saddam Hussein because they are use to getting several million dollars worth of contracts annually and could not tolerate having that public money being spent for other American needs. Americans should know that Saddam Hussein was a Central Intelligence Agency recruit so that the US would have easy access to oil and natural gas just like it was done with Iran years prior. This 9/11 act of so-called terrorism is the Pearl Harbor that was identified in 1992 by the Project for the New American Century after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The group that prepared the PNAC needed to find another enemy quickly. They did and many in the US have been fooled. Americans should understand that having a war against terrorism is very convenient. Any open minded and honest person that would view carefully the films of the collapse of the Twin Towers should conclude this was a controlled demolition when they critically view the periodic puffs of smoke as the buildings came down. Likewise, any open minded and honest person that would listen carefully to the testimony of several people present said there were sounds of explosions should conclude this was a controlled demolition. Any person that knows anything about temperature to melt structural steel utilized should conclude that jet fuel could not melt or weaken the structural steel and cause it to collapse in the manner it was filmed. These World Trade Center buildings are the first high rise buildings in the US that came down due to fire or by an airplane! Any person that saw pictures of the structural steel left at ground zero before it was quickly removed from the premise in a around the clock effort should witness the uniformity of cut angles that assisted with the building collapse. According to the book called Censored 2005, The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2003 and 2004 by Peter Phillips and Project Censored, story #15 that did not get published was called Israelis seen filming 9/11 tragedy. The source is the Scotland Sunday Herald, November 2, 2003. Israeli intelligence may have known the attacks of 9/11 were going to occur, but did nothing to stop them. Five Israeli intelligence agents were spotted filming and celebrating as the World Trade Center fell. All of them had links to Mossad. Finally, Americans should know that the owner of the World Trade Center made a handsome profit from the insurance coverage, which is more than just being lucky or a good business man.

Occupation: Electronic Engineer
I have worked for 25 years for a worldwide-known French defense manufacturer. I've worked on many projects developing military radio communication products and warfare systems.
My doubts about the official version of the 9/11 building collapses started when I realized that the common factor in all three building collapses was free fall speed. This is the main point, and a building expert understands that when the upper floor of a building falls at free fall speed, that means that it doesn't encounter any obstacle until it hits the ground. This means that when the floor drops and arrives at the next floor, the second one is already gone, and so on for all floors down to the bottom one. It means that all the floors must fall at the same time. This is of course not compatible with the official story of floors dropping on each other. The free fall result is only possible by using professional explosives, and they require a long time to install.

The official story doesn't match the evidence. In particular the damage of an outer load bearing steel structure through a thin aluminium sheet metal plane is not likely. Furthermore the acceleration (and disintegration) of the upper part of the building is clear evidence of a controlled demolition (compare also videos of failed controlled demolitions where the upper half is still standing).

Over 40 years in building, structural and civil design and heavy engineering construction; 34 years as principal. Have forensic experience, both design and construction. Tunnel, highway, bridge, industrial, institutional, dam & power plant experience.
After watching the precision with which the towers collapsed, I was then, and remain today, of the opinion that it was a controlled demo job. I did calculations at the time estimating that the rubble pile was much too small...material had to disappear/ vaporize in order for the pile to be as small as it was. Conservatively, the pile of rubble would have to have been about 30 stories deep (including accounting for the 7 stories below grade being packed tight with debris, no air spaces!); a 'pyramid' with a base of 600 ft square. Anyone who has ever witnessed a controlled demolition would have immediately recognized its 'signature in this collapse. Not likely to cut off all of the columns on only one side of the building and still have it come down vertically, virtually within its own footprint, like it did.

It looks very suspicious even for a non-architect/engineer. Common Sense should tell us a building of that type, like building 7, would not collapse because of fire. I remember reading about how a B-17 crashed into the Empire State Building in the 40's. I believe all skyscrapers were built to withstand an aircraft collision soon after that. Good luck with your petition and your search for the truth.

As a New Yorker, I became suspicious of the collapse of the World Trace Center towers about one year after the event. I began researching for myself through the internet and also via Independent news media reporters. (Not the main stream media). I was born and raised in Hoboken, NY and as a child I watched the World Trade towers being built slowly, day by day from across the Hudson River. Strong and enduring structures of massive steel framing. I was only in the completed (pre-antenna) Tower 1 observation deck as a child on a class trip in the late 1970's. Tower 2 was still being built and marvelous to see from such height of the observation deck. I was never at the buildings again, unfortunately. With respect to those who were killed on 9/11, as a New Yorker, I have never and will never visit the Freedom Tower for personal reflections as it's a monument of hypocrisy and tyranny by our own government.

There is no way that the jets and fuel brought down the buildings. Diesel jet fuel would never burn hot enough by itself; they imploded from the basement or ground level. The World Trade Buildings were sold not too long before the attack. Gov. involved; insurance pay out.

How did fire from the jet crash melt the steel? How did the top 1/4 of the building crush the remaining 3/4 of the building at nearly free fall? Why did it look like the top 1/4 of the buildings disintegrated as they fell, followed by detonations below it as the rest of the building collapsed? Why did building 7 collapse? Fires did not cause this .
