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.

The lack of structural damage to building 7 coupled with the free fall collapse onto itself does not line up with the official story. As an aerospace engineer, I also find that the skill required to pilot the planes per the official story would be beyond the skill set of the supposed hijackers.

I'm a civil engineer with over 17 years of experience in transportation. My study of the WTC-7 collapse is not from a structural engineering perspective, only straight physics. I look forward to a structural engineer providing a more reasonable explanation for the rate of collapse.
I can't get past the consistency of the WTC-7 collapse and any number of controlled demolition operations. I've looked at overall time of collapse vs. free fall and from a conservation of momentum point of view. The correlation is striking and hard to explain without a simultaneous failure of all support within the WTC-7.

I was educated at Ohio State University, As a student, I took the standard structural courses in materials wood, concrete, and steel. If any of my buildings were to collapse I sure would want to know why. Especially if people were killed. After all, as followers of a building code, life safety tantamount.
Curious by Nature. I encourage all to satisfy their urge to know the truth. The truth will set us free!

The fall of WTC 7 did it for me. The fact that BBC had announced it prior to the collapse, and that it had not been hit by any airplane. Then if fell perfectly...the third skyscraper that day that just fell perfectly into its own footprint. No way...Then the media blackout on that building and not a word in the commission report...WTC 7 was very obviously a controlled demolition and no one puts that together on the day of 911...It had to have been planned. Inescapable conclusion.

I have worked on many high power broadcast antennas and I'm very familiar with the structural aspects of which they are mounted. The company I work for provided an emergency replacement for the CH 11 antenna which went down that was on top of the World Trade Center. Even the way that the antenna fell almost completely vertically, suggests a controlled demolition.
I have been looking into the evidence provided. I truly believe that there is absolutely no way that these buildings could have collapsed the way that they did without controlled demolition. If we can get the American people and the world to realize this, then maybe we can hold those responsible accountable.

Kalamazoo, MI
Occupation: Architect (Retired)
In private architectural practice from 1979 until retirement in December of 2019. Primary work has been in small commercial and residential design. Received a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Detroit (now Detroit/Mercy) in 1970. Interned with Eberle Smith in Detroit, MI; Kingscott in Kalamazoo, MI; and Tower Pinkster in Kalamazoo, MI.
From the first image on TV as I watched the collapsing World Trade Towers on that fateful morning, my first thought was this: What I am seeing is impossible! Airplane crashes cannot have this effect. Building Seven's collapse was equally unbelievable. The minor fires in that building could not bring the building down symmetrically in its footprint. No fire ever before that day brought down a steel-framed highrise. The University of Alaska report is in perfect alignment with the expectations of professionals in the building industry.

I am a licensed and degreed mechanical engineer. Having been educated in science and mathematics, cannot understand how the laws of physics can be entirely pushed aside by so called experts (NIST) to fit their conclusions.
Having worked with liquid fuels, primarily kerosene (jet fuel) to fuel gas turbines, I cannot wrap my head around the theory that a full that burns at 500-600 degrees could melt steel or produce molten slag. Or how a building with so many internal supports could completely collapse at freefall speeds.

It's not a matter of curiosity. It's absolute fact. The evidence isn't compelling. It's absolute. It isn't just a little, it's a lot. And then there's the absolute evidence that's even over and above eyewitness accounts and videos. It's temperatures above jet fuel , but consistent with nano thermite and it's falling at 32 feet per second. End of debate.

"We all know 9-11 was an inside job. I know all tower collapses were controlled demolition. Also, the ""hijacked"" planes did not look like commercial passenger planes. They looked more like military planes. Anyways, I have come to terms with accepting how inside government terrorism happens repeatedly through the history. I just won't accept how people with lack of brains and curiosity blame the wrong race for the attack."

I was born in Cuba in 1957. My parents emigrated to Puerto Rico in 1961 after the communist takeover of Cuba under the dictator Castro. I was naturalized by a federal court. I'm a natural skeptic and have learned a lot about human nature. I attended FSU to study science and graduated with a BS in economics. I transferred to PR to continue my studies in Business (master's courses), then did a stint in law school. I ended up with BS in Industrial Engineering PE. I always worked for my own poultry farm/business and or family egg farm-business. I'm currently semi-retired with enough time to pursue the truth, as ugly as it might seem!
I was always opposed to the invasion of Iraq and its occupation. I thought that it might relieve oil prices but the opposite happened. Maybe someone knew what was coming and decided to intervene? After viewing several documentaries I think that the frightful possibility of a conspiracy to create a new world order is very real. This possibility, combined with other facts from videos and studies, is more than enough to raise serious questions about the congressional investigation and the official explanation of the events. I would like to learn more about the technical feasibility of that implosion job.

I was very surprised to see all three steel framed structures collapse so neatly and suddenly into their own footprints on 9/11. It is almost as interesting to study the overcoming of denial required in coming to terms with the political implications of these facts among the populace.

According to all aspects of the event and my own deep concerns of the follow up events such as the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, . . . and destruction of those counties alongside the genocidal killings of millions of innocent people, led me to realise the world trade centre incident was a planed operation by criminals who benefited from it- and at the top the beneficiary was and is Israel. Available documents in social media like Israelis dancing and filming the explosion of the WTC, the panel van full of explosives on G.W. bridge, the expelling of 60 Israeli agents after 9/11, and hundreds of other facts, all indicate that Israelis helped organize the operations and left the cover up to compromised US officials. - -

I work at Mittal Steel in East Chicago, IN. I run a kress pot carrier and dump gigantic pots full of molten steel/iron and slag. I understand the temperature needed to melt steel and iron, and that there is no way that any steel skyscrapers fell that day because of an office fire. My iron worker brothers that built them with their own hands, and my fellow operating engineers that hoisted those beams into place, will all agree, office fires is baloney! And my brother is s firefighter, many of his brothers lost their lives that day. We all demand justice, we all demand answers.

The motives are unclear, and the people involved are nothing more than pure speculation. Focus on the science, the immutable laws by which we live, and compare that to the official statements and evidence. What is seen cannot be faked. There is no way in our physical universe that 2 jets single handedly destroyed three buildings into their footprints with nothing more than jetfuel and office fires. It is simply, and physically, impossible.

The evidence of the deliberate destruction of the buildings by explosives is overwhelming, which leads to the conclusion that this could never have been done by a bunch of amateur terrorists.We have to make a start in finding the truth about the events that took place on 9/11. The truth about 9/11 is the key to unlock the vault of treason. 9/11 is one of the most horrendous crimes against humanity and needs to be solved so that justice can be done, not only for the victims but for the entire world. We have to stop the perpetrators now, because they will do it again!
