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'm a highly trained Aviation Maintenance Technician with formal college training in Aviation Physics, twenty-two years experience with a major airline, that includes many years of experience with applied physics. These years include over three years of being a technical analyst. The years of being in such a technical field, have made me very analytical.
I'm not convinced that the jet fuel from the airliners that hit the World Trade towers caused the structure of those buildings to buckle. I myself, through my formal training at Lewis University in the field of Aviation physics, understand the temperature at which jet fuel burns, as well as flash points and related. The reality is that it just isn't possible. Besides which this doesn't take into account the fact that these buildings fell at the rate of gravity, as if there was no internal supporting structure. Also, one must factor in the pyroclastic flow visible, evidence that the internal structure was subject to thermite detonation charges, visible evidence of apparent detonation squibs. All of this and how obvious, the collapse was in an orderly fashion. A professionally orchestrated demolition.

Degreed Engineer travaux de b'timent (building works) by Ecole Sp'ciale des Travaux Publics, du b'timent et de l'industrie in 1973. I worked after (and even now) in the technical service of a town in the suburbs of Paris. My work : studies for new projects, heritage buildings and also all perils in the town and decisions to assure the security of inhabitants and repair the construction.
In the years after 911 events, I thought that all I read in professional reviews and French newspapers was true. The first time I understood that it was impossible was when I saw a film about the collapse of WTC7. I have seen before a controlled demolition of a flat near Paris, and it was the same ! I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

I just watched the DVD on this collapse. I previously missed a lot of this evidence, even though shown by other outlets, due to the emotional impact of the collapse. This description provided by AE911Truth clearly casts doubts on the official cause of the collapse. After watching this evidence I too wonder how an airplane could take down the building from the top without help from inside.

Occupation: Structural Engineer
I have worked in Civil and Structural Engineering since 1984. I currently work as a structural engineer designing projects for Alaska's oil industry. I have also done forensic engineering for repair of fire damaged buildings.
Although I have seen fires cause steel members to warp seriously, I have not seen fire cause steel buildings to collapse. On the contrary, I have seen steel buildings suffer fire damage yet remain standing. A collapse due to fire damage would start at the first member to fail, and global failure would cascade asymmetrically from there. Controlled demolition is the best explanation for what we saw at the 3 WTC buildings.

I am an Information Scientist with a background in Physics, and have worked in various industries, providing technical information services, such as indexing and abstracting, editing, providing technical library services, library systems design, current awareness services, and information systems software development services. Over the past few years I have worked unpaid in support of the truth movement.
My first thought on seeing the vertical collapse of the first tower was Is that possible? Well, if it isn't I'll hear about it later. My attention then turned to the human disaster. It wasn't until December 2006 that I came across Professor Steven Jones' paper and realised that there had to be a major issue here. I read further articles and books, discussed issues at meetings and contributed in forum discussions. My attention turned to the question of how it is possible to keep something like this quiet for so long, since that would mean that normal scientific processes were being interfered with in a big way. The fact that this petition is even necessary means that there has to be something hugely wrong.

BS Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly. I have an extensive background in facilities and systems for launch operations, including demolition activities. I've been involved in numerous accident investigations. I'm known for concise, thorough, unbiased investigations with a personal determination to get to the bottom line despite initial outward appearances.
I have questioned the official explanation from the beginning, because the video-graphic evidence did not support the story line. It was clear to me from the beginning that the twin towers were imploded. Further, there is no engineering evidence that Building #7 would fail catastrophically from fires. It is my opinion that a third plane was scheduled to hit Building #7, but crashed in Pennsylvania instead. The implosion and subsequent lack of reporting raises too many questions to be ignored!

Graduated 1998 and have worked in the architecture field since then producing construction documents for various building types.
The uniform collapse at the speed of gravity with no resistance seems impossible to me without controlled demolition. I also question how massive steel structural members found embedded in buildings as far as 600' away can be accounted for without having an initial blast force to propel them horizontally.

B.S. Aerospace Engineering, University of Oklahoma. Over 15 years in mechanical design, pumping systems and fluid systems design, design analysis, stress analysis and modeling, fatigue analysis and modeling, large-scale testing, and metallurgical aspects of carbon, alloy, and stainless steels. Included in this experience is approximately seven years in design of thin-walled mechanical systems for high pressure/high temperature environments.
I have spent five years researching and discussing the events of 9/11. The reason I would like to sign this petition for a new investigation is due to the unanswered questions, informational gaps, inconsistencies and discrepancies of the 911 Commission Report in general, and because of the unacceptable work of the NIST in investigating the collapse of the towers specifically. The tragedy of 9/11 and the mass of civilian deaths that occurred that day demand a proper investigation, unbiased fact-seeking, and full-disclosure. The American people have been charged $16 million by the NIST and received nothing of value in return for that price. I would lose my engineering license if I pulled that stunt.

Reasons to doubt the official story: Symmetrical collapses through the path of most resistance with the undamaged parts of building not slowing the collapse down any appreciable amount; Pre-event power downs for cabling work, removal of bomb sniffing dogs, questionable reactionary residue found after the collapses, molten metal observed, explosions reported, and energy of collapse not sufficient to pulverize that much concrete.

Physics explains how the buildings collapsed. History explains the why. Acknowledging the resources required identifies who. This needn't be technical or complicated, common sense gets to the the same conclusion, it's just hard to accept reality when it's this heinous. Bottom line is, if we can't stop who did this, and bring justice to them, we are too close to being unable to stop what is next.

With the colossal amount of steel and concrete of these buildings collapsing so perfectly three times in a row into their own footprint, I was initially astounded. When I first saw this event on that day I toed the general public line on what had happened. Upon delving more deeply into this event I am now of a totally different opinion and believe without a doubt that explosives were used in the demolition of WTC Buildings 1, 2 and 7.

I have been in commercial construction since 1985 beginning with foundations. I am presently an interiors superintendent that has experience cutting into buildings for various reasons. I understand strong design and how it may fail or not.
What sold me was the molten steel spilling out the windows and the destruction of burnt out cars for blocks by a super heated white cloud. I have worked at airports and understand jet fuel - it doesn't burn hot enough to do that.

There's no way it happened as the official explanation states. John Brennan was CIA chief of station in Saudi Arabia at the time. I believe the CIA learned of the plot. Their superiors -- if the CIA has superiors -- were informed. For a range of possible motives, they then permitted it to happen. Knowing the approximate date, they made sure that it would be spectacular when it happened and seeded the buildings with nanothermite-enhanced explosive squibs. Given that, I think that it's equally possible that it was the CIA's idea from the start and that they worked with indigenous nationals to recruit the perps.
