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.

Experienced with design in steel and iron, from ship & submarine refurbishment project. Worked with structural engineers regularly. Royal Navy background and military schooling.
I've studied the structure of building 7, the collapse, & much more material. That collapse is impossible without cutting near all the columns together, as is the case with a pre-determined demolition. Building 7 was also shown in a BBC video collapsing in real time, over the shoulder of a reporter who was telling us it already collapsed 20 minutes earlier. All the tower fires across the world have been analysed, not one matched the details of the 911 events. The collapse of B7 must have been pre-determined and not part of any knock on affect from the other collapse over 400m away. As for the twin towers I have serious problems with the media story. It does not add up. A side point penetration would have created a sideways falling, not free fall straight down. That is elemental. I do not believe the account given by government, 'official' investigations and media.

Reasonable doubt' unequivocally exists, and it is corroborated by volumes of cogent, comprehensive, and compelling evidence that systematically and irrefutably challenges the 'collapse' theory of destruction. The questions being asked are beyond reasonable, relevant, and are appropriate. A formal, independent, unbiased investigation must be undertaken, as a failure to do so would be criminal in the most encompassing sense of the word.

In this case, it doesn't take an expert to comprehend the massive energy necessary to pulverize these major high-rise towers. They were built to last. As such, buildings like this just don't turn to dust in a matter of seconds as a result of fire coupled with the force of gravity. Other buildings similar to Seven experienced fires of greater duration and intensity and did not dissolve. Only these three buildings disappeared into a cloud of dust taking with them thousands of souls. Why?

Native of Reno, NV. I am a recent graduate, entering graduate school in EE. I live completely off-grid, using a system I helped design, and I am planning to design alternative energy and radio systems.
I have been questioning the official story almost since 9/11 took place. Even to someone non-technical, the official explanations for the collapses of the WTC buildings are obviously completely inaccurate. No modern steel building has ever collapsed in that fashion before (due to fire), and it does not make sense that they should. The official story is so obviously full of holes, that it requires a massive amount of ignoring the evidence to even come close to convincing yourself that it is true.

The theory that the three towers collapsed due solely to aircraft impact defies the physics law of conservation of momentum. Simply, the impact of the collapsing upper section does not have the force necessary to push through the stronger lower sections at an ever accelerating rate. (The increase in acceleration during collapse was documented by independent researchers.) WTC 7 was not struck by an aircraft but also collapsed that same day. This collapse is entirely unprecedented in the history of fire-protected steel frame high rise construction. The only way the three towers could have collapsed in the manner observed was by additional forces, such as demolition charges, being added to the buildings.
