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 am totally amazed by how the towers free-felled like an ordinary demolition where you remove all the support structure at exactly the right time. That is also the case of building 7. which Larry Silverstein (The controller of the destroyed WTC complex) stated was pulled with the help of FDNY. And the fact that BBC had prior knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 and reported of its collapse 20 minutes before it actually happened.

If one chooses to significantly study all of the evidence and to think critically on the same, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the official story of 9/11 put forth, in its entirety simply cannot be true from any perspective. It is an impossibility. Additionally, there is overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness statements, photographic and videographic records, timelines, scientific and engineering data, irrefutable laws of physics, and the like which directly and unequivocally refute the official story of 9/11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 ' 1860) There will come a day when our children & grandchildren will look us in the eyes and ask us what we did and what action we took when we learned of the truth of 9/11 . . . 'He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.' - Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 ' 1968)

Earlier in my career, I have worked for a City government for 3 years and two different industries. For the last 34 years, I am engaged in my own Engineering firm. Even though my degree and my specialty is electrical, most of my work and income relates to the structural discipline (within expertise limits -- i.e., no high rises, schools, parking structures, etc.) I've worked with and can deal with all materials: soils, wood, masonry, reinf. concrete, steel, aluminum. I've even done forensics; 1 elect., 2 struct.
Well, I haven't read the official report. But I have watched many of the conspiracy theory videos. Also, I distinctly remember, nearly 9 years ago on the news report(s), the symmetrical collapse of BOTH towers, then the very underplayed (by comparison to the towers) PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL collapse of Building 7. I thought at the time of controlled demolition and, by extension, an inside job. The gov's intent is to move on, but too many unresolved issues deserve proper focus, before all die.

9/11 is a very small but very public part of a huge picture that's been going on since your country signed over its power to the Federal Reserve in 1913.Pearl Harbor was known about and allowed to happen,the Oklahoma truck bomber was an identical if not smaller forerunner to 9/11,and identical after effects, I'd recommend you check out 9/11, globalization and total war a talk given by Michel Chossudovsky on brasschecktv.com or the film improbable collapse directed by Michael Berger and then start looking at who and why questions,just for starters the CIA invented Al Qaueda and work hand in hand with them, the head of the Islamic terrorist network was having meeting in your own white house with Ms Rice over the 9/11 period, Bin Laden was laid in a hospital bed in the middle of a CIA hot spot over the 9/11 period.Then start looking at how many companies have made billions out it, security companies in Iraq and Afghanistan,rebuilding Iraq,building huge military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Patriot Act and who gains from that,your privately owned Federal Reserve where all the moneys coming from,the oil contracts and new oil pipelines,UK/USA now control over 36% of the worlds oil,it simply goes on and on and on,no-ones going to investigate it, there is too much blackmail money on offer and if anyone did get a backbone and wouldn't get impeded at every turn to look into it, would simply turn up dead.

I am 64 years old, studied Geology in Munich, Germany, worked as an Geologist in the Alps, in Italy and Austria and in tunnel building in Germany. Now I am author and have a little publishing firm.
Why showed the 47 columns core of WTC 1 + 2 no resistance, fell down in free fall speed? I think some minutes before the collapse they were weakened. The unknown commander in the 'Giuliani bunker' in the 23rd story of WTC 7 pressed the knob and ignited in the deep basement, at the contact granite to core columns, the brought down nanothermit. It smoothed the 47 steal columns over 2 - 3 basement stories. Temperatures over 1200 grad of Celsius development. Mr. Rodriguez, the janitor of the twins, described a man, who flee from the basement heat to the surface. His skin was burned, fell from his arms undo face. The melting of the core column feet caused a total change of the tower static. Now the steal columns which were calculate for pressure stress had to bear pull stress. They hang in the air, because their feet were molten, building liquid steal pools. Weld seams opened, 10 000 of bolts elongated and ripped out together with nuts and flanges. A sudden explosion fulfilled with their shaking the work of destroying the connections. Now the 260 outer square columns had to bear the whole load of the tower, the core columns and ceilings with the concrete floors. WTC 2 was ready for destroying. At the 'explosion cut' high above nanothermit melted the 260 outer columns symmetrically.Two or three minutes before the south tower fell one could see molten steal at a corner of this cut spraying down. Here the 'destructiveness' didn't work properly! By the big explosion the upper part of the tower was lifted and fell like a hammer at the core. Further explosions, tatted with the fall velocity, take place, 'scrumps' came out of the broken windows. Several mushroom formed 'fly parabolic curves' of the tower debris showed that there were two powers working: gravity and the centrifugal explosion power. Every physicist who saw this, can interpret this only in one way: controlled demolition by explosives.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila, Philippines. Before moving to the US I was a licensed civil and structural engineer in the Philippines and I designed high rise buildings.
WTC-7 was brought down by carefully planned demolition. High rise buildings do not fall symmetrically without disabling all the columns all at the same time. You do not have to be an engineer or architect to build a sample prototype structure made of sticks and cartons to show that a symmetrical fall will not occur if all the columns are not removed at the same time. This was a carefully planned demolition and would have taken months ahead to implement.

It is inconceivable that the World Trade Center buildings collapsed as they did because of fires as the public has been led to believe. This is not just an opinion, but a very well educated guess. Although I studied electrical engineering, Georgia Tech--as most engineering universities--required that I take courses in physics, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics.

Steel is 'STRONG'. Symmetrical, free-fall speed collapse is impossible and illogical. I cannot accept the 911 Commission or NIST explanations. Let alone all of the non-technical facts about underfunding, lying, cover-up, decoy military training events, etc.

It is impossible to ignore the profound body of evidence that those Towers were not brought down by those planes. Even more incredulous is the impossibility of the WTC 7 building being so rapidly symmetrically demolished by a simple building fire started by the flying debris from the Twin Tower. The brave firefighters, the poor people in the Towers and this Nation deserve to know the truth - must know the truth.

It appears that there is very surprising information about the possible destruction mechanism of the Twin Towers that has not been made public by the government. The implications of possible intentional and deliberate destruction of the towers by explosion are tremendous, and very disturbing. The notion of a government cover-up and involvement in the tragedy is still very hard to believe, although the evidence from the video on YouTube is hard to ignore. Therefore, I believe a full and proper investigation should be mounted to uncover the true facts and assign responsibility to the perpetrators.

When I watched the Towers come down on TV, I had no reason to doubt the official story. I started having doubts months later as more details were released and it became obvious there were many, many unlikely coincidences. Now the official story seems ridiculous.

I never knew that there was a third tower that came down about the same time as the twin towers, but your video changed that. I also saw the evidence you presented and realized that the explanation given by the government can not be true. We need to find out what actually happened.

I totally agree that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by using some sort of explosives no way would they fall like that. The twin towers would of never fell down by just a plane hitting into them ! I agree it is a government conspiracy which we need to get to the bottom of it. It makes me so angry the evidence has been hidden away. It is only a matter of time till the truth does come out and it certainly will. Then justice can be served. Rest in peace to everybody who lost their Lives on that day September 11 2001.

"Build ing 7 freefall, classic demo, not hit by aircraft, firedept told the owner of the lease, ""we are going to pull it"", another classic term in demolition work, ... a statement caught on camera. It was a controlled demo, no doubt in my mind. This was the first thought that came to mind, especially building 7. The collapse was announced in England 20 minutes before it happened. The owner was on the news saying the fire department said we are going to 'pull it' then the fire department got out and the building was brought down by explosions. Odd that Obama does not want the relatives to be able to sue the Saudi's because they were only the cover story. We sued Gaddafi for Lockerbie, but he was directly responsible."

Simply comparing an acknowledged controlled demolition to building 7 should be enough proof of a description by the media and government for anyone with an IQ over room temperature.The twin tower destruction of pulverized concrete never made sense to me.
