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!

I have followed this sad event virtually from the beginning. Watching video of the collapse of those three buildings, it was obvious that aircraft hitting the upper region of WT-1 and WT-2 didn't cause them to collapse, especially when the collapse for one started more or less at the ground floor. The collapse of WT-7 later in the day was a pathetic joke. Like the 'in-house' murders of President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, perhaps the official white wash will be scrubbed away. As Roosevelt needed Pearl Harbor to get the American public supporting entry into WW II, the US needed a strong reason to get support for a pre-planned invasion of Iraq.

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 graduated with a BA in Electrical Engineering from the University of Iowa in May, 2007. The last year and a half of my time there I worked in a student research position for the Operator Performance Laboratory. I served as a flight test engineer for human factors evaluation of avionics and I assisted in the design, implementation, and integration of instrumentation for human factors evaluation and testing of ground transportation.
The moment I watched a 10 minute video about WTC 7 on Easter Day of 2006, I knew the official story was a lie, and I am ashamed that I didn't realize it sooner. I don't know what really happened on 9/11, but one thing I do know is that it is impossible for 2 airplanes to cause the complete and total destruction of 3 steel buildings, comprising 250+ stories, at free-fall speed.

I have a degree in Computer Mathematics from Carleton University, Ottawa (1994). I served in the Canadian armed forces in the Governor Generals Foot Guards from 1990 to 1994. For the last 16 years I have worked as a computer consultant and currently run my own company, SageTea Group. I have worked for a variety of organizations and companies including Nortel, Merrill Lynch, Software Kinetics, XWave and the Government of Canada.
I worked at Merrill Lynch during 9/11. I personally witnessed molten metal pouring from the buildings prior to their collapse. I also heard explosions before and during the collapse of towers 1 and 2. I can also state that the fires took weeks to put out and were still burning underground. Approximately 1 week after the disaster, I had wanted to go to an office location near the 9/11 site. A colleague of mine said I could not go their because firefighters were still putting the fires out. I was incredulous that the fires were still burning such a long time (1 week or more) after the towers came down. From what I saw, the initial fires looked like they were going out when the initial collapse started. I gave a 47 minute interview to Truth Action Ottawa with the full details of my experience on 9/11. I knew something was wrong with the official story regarding 9/11 from the moment that 9/11 happened. Nothing that was stated by official US government sources could explain the molten metal that I saw. I had been troubled by that clear evidence for many years until I saw the paper written by Steven Jones and heard about his research. As a witness to 9/11, I can state that the evidence of molten metal presented by Steven Jones was visually observed by me. In fact, I was aware of the existence of molten metal at the 9/11 site long before Steven Jones paper was published. I am certain that this fact alone is sufficient reason to re-investigate 9/11. I have not ever been asked to testify or provide my evidence to anyone investigating 9/11. I would be willing to if ever officially requested.

I am appalled at the official report. I love the quote from Mr. Tarpley,(paraphrased) If the government has nothing to hide, why are they hiding everything. I will also like to reference a YouTube video that states....If jet fuel melts steel , I'm never flying again. Planes are just going to start falling out of the skies.

I've worked as a writer and editor for over 10 years, including positions at mainstream daily newspapers and community journals. I've written several stories about issues relating to 9/11. Due to my research, I do not believe the towers fell the way the U.S. government claims.
I have viewed a lot of footage regarding Sept. 11, 2001, and the series of events really does not seem to add up. Steel buildings do not disintegrate from a strike, even if you add jet fuel. And there's been no justifiable explanation given for the WTC 7's collapse. I, along with thousands of other concerned citizens, call for a re-investigation of the events. This should be done by a true and impartial team of experts who have no governmental ties or agendas.

It seems that the when it comes to the collapse of the 3 towers the 9/11 truthers and the 9/11 debunkers are talking about different parts of the collapse. The debunkers focus on the local damage caused by the planes and fires. Their claims of local failure might have some validity but they make no attempt to connect the local failures with the mode of global building failure we all observed. The 9/11 truthers start with the global building failures and work backward to what might have caused it. This seems to me a better approach.

Organizer of grass roots community get together's from many different states, locally now running 'Sunday Evening Eats', I do this with my life partner 'Caswell Forrest'. We hold movies and show documentaries in our home small theater in Boulder Colorado, we have over 300 members in grass roots movement. We have studied 911 and have shown many Documentaries about the incident. We feel that our government had direct impute into this 'False Flag Operation', as they have in nearly every war within the last 100 years. Thank you; Rev. Roland E. Waters Jr
This was a false flag operation, and we understand the connection with the Bush Genealogy going back to the founding of the FDIC. Our government has been owned and operated not by the people but by financial gain for a very long time. There will never be a full investigation into 911 or truly any other war within the last 50 years, since this indeed would incriminate our government and rip the masks that the 'World Bank has created with those whom we think are protecting us from outside and inside forces. A government within the government that is within the government is how this and every other country is now ruled! Thank you; Rev. Roland Waters & Caswell Forrest

Played with building sets as a kid. Lincoln Logs, Building Sets, Erector Sets,Jinga, Magnetic Tiles. Seeing News Programs about demolition. Was living during the crash of an airplane into the Empire State Building in NYC.
The way the towers fell layer by layer, not in pancake style, but explosions on every other floor or corner. The explosions were very powerful just about to pulverize walls and shoot beams out of the sides of the building and parts were being unplugged out of a socket. New Chemicals were used to make metal molten to make it more unstable. When was electric power shut down in the building are there any records of high use of electricity at certain hours out of the ordinary when explosives were possibly planted and secured. Offsite transmissions to start explosions from land,sea, or air. Gravity was considered on how the building was to fall. Building Seven Magically fell, and extra added attraction to keep people and responders off guard. Traffic Patterns before explosions, any detours ?

At 42 years old and over twenty years past 911, I am more angered each year that goes by without justice to those who died under this tyranny. Those buildings did not come down the way the fake media projected and the media has been exposed as nothing more than propaganda networks.
