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.

Clearly, the buildings fell by controlled demolition. Buildings don't just magically fall down into their own footprint. The nano-thermite in the dust from the collapse is proof.

I have a BSEE from Virginia Tech. I watched the towers fall. I heard the official story, and it was clearly a lie. I demand a new investigation. How can we whitewash the deaths of 3000 people, then use their deaths as an excuse to invade and ruin multiple sovereign states? Ridiculous travesty.

I have a BSCE Civil Engineering, Michigan Technological University, 1970, and I attended Boston Architectural College for two years. I was first licensed as an architect in Michigan in 1976, and have been licensed continuously since then in several states including New York and New England. I have had a diverse practice for 40 years with emphasis on historic preservation, residential design and energy conservation issues. My experience has included being president of three different architectural firms in Michigan and New England. I continue to practice full time. I'm a member of AIA and an NCARB certificate holder.
I fully support the goals of AE for 9/11 Truth. I believe my outrage and shock at being asked to believe the net of lies surrounding this event, matches the feelings of the founding members of AE 9/11 Truth. As I watched the towers fall on television I knew the rapid destruction on display made no scientific sense. The so-called evidence, media claims and subsequent official proclamations all reeked of a hideous betrayal by our leaders. It was a betrayal by violent forces indifferent to the well-being of humanity in general and the American citizenry in particular. Just who these violent forces are is the next question (assuming we can handle the answer). Getting the science sorted out is fundamental to understanding what happened. I support that. Though the tentacles of this subject run in every direction, this betrayal of our national confidence and honor as citizens must not be allowed to stand.

It is clear that there is much more to be learned than the 9/11 Commission report. Currently, many people justifiably believe that that report is in the same class as the Warren Commission report: a fraud. Because of this, many people are skeptical of all government activities. If, after a real investigation, the facts support the 9/11 Commission story, nothing could be more healing. If they don't, appropriate changes need to occur. And that could only be for the better. Clearly, the presence of molten steel and witness reports of explosions prior to airplane impacts or building collapse demand more research to either verify this explosive information, or debunk it with data.

By any objective analysis of the inconsistencies and factual evidence available to any member of the public; there is obviously a great divide between what truly happened and what has been provided as the fed to an accepting American Public via a cooperative media industry. In total, this represents a bloodless coup in America and until full disclosure is forced, the control of this nation by an unseen group of people and organizations will continue and will grow in its removal of civil rights and free speech. The window is closing each and every day, and the folks orchestrating this scenario are the most powerful and evil humans to ever walk this planet. It would be hard to overstate the ramifications of this scenario.

After viewing the documentation about the evidence surrounding World Trade Center 7, and comparing it to structural characteristics of building materials under fire conditions, the explanations given by NIST don't quite match up. While some structural failure of the building after prolonged exposure to fire conditions fueled by office materials is possible, large structural steel beams would yield slowly over time and the building collapsing all at once is all but impossible, unless it was engineered to do so.

Arturo Moreno is an educator and designer living and working in the Kansai area of Japan. He was trained as an architect and completed his studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. He has worked in the offices of architectural professionals in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas. His work has included residential, commercial, institutional and urban design. Additionally, he is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces.
Without the aid of having done much research into the phenomena of the collapse of World Trade Centers 1 & 2, I have held a sense of surprise that the buildings essentially collapsed into their own footprints. It strikes me as unlikely that neither of the two towers would only partially collapse, partially fail or topple away rather than drop in identical fashion. During the 1993 bombing event, I was concerned for loved ones who worked in the financial district. Their workplaces were not in the towers themselves, but in the surrounding neighborhood. I was expecting the possibility of a toppling tower damaging or destroying several nearby buildings. The fact that not one, but two towers did not fall this way appears to be somewhat improbable. - - Further research has alerted me to the collapse of Building 7. How the events of the collapse of this building missed the sustained attention of 9/11 commission and the researchers from NIST seems to be without satisfactory explanation. This event alone should warrant further inquiry by all who are aware of it. - - Every day, there seems to be more evidence and revelations that do not square with the official explanation. In my mind, the official reports and studies seem inadequate at best.

I was a fire specialist. Training in fire prevention and fire management. I also have some experience with movie editing. Those buildings came down due to explosives placed inside the buildings. Not being hit by planes.
Airplane fuel is comparable to Kerosene in its composition. It doesn't get hot enough to melt steel beams. It was simply controlled demolition and that is the truth.

My father was a machinist, welder, designer, mechanic, tool maker.I worked with him growing up. I worked in body shops before entering the Navy, and was sent to ship fitter school. I worked as a welder, sheet metal fabricator, pipe fitter, fireman, and damage control man. My last command was aboard a fuel tanker rigged for underway replenishment. My division was in control of liquid cargo, JP5 jet fuel, black oil, and 100+ octane aviation gasoline. We did all the fuel testing before we accepted it on board, and tested it again before pumping it to other recipients.
JP 5 will not reach hot enough temperatures to melt structural steel, even with forced air behind it, like a forge or hawk burner, at best the heat is 1000 degrees short of melting steel.Having been a firman in school, we had to extinguish a roaring compartment fire that had oil in the bottom with a good draft, nothing melted. When buildings burn down, they burn fir awhile, parts collapse, other parts calve, but they do not all of a sudden fall in perfect symmetry at the speed of gravity!

There is too much conflicting evidence to ignore the fact that there must be a new investigation into the cause of of the collapse of 3 towers on 9/11. This is not a conspiracy but an attempt to give resolution to the families of the deceased.

I was a Firefighter for almost 30 years and I have seen more than most people how wood structures fail. Have fought fires in high rises and never had any thought about structural collapse. In our training through the years it was always drilled into us 'high rises do not fail from fire.'
Building 7 was controlled demolition!

Implosion of WTC buildings 1, 2, &7, Gold stolen, Donald Rumsfeld statements on 9/10/2001, Larry Silverstein (owner) insurance coverage & claim, Aluminum & plastic air craft don't bring down type 1 fire resistive construction (steel/concrete). News anchors 'knew' almost immediately that Bin Laden and 'terrorists' were the culprits. Aircraft aren't permitted to fly without responding to ATC. Damage to Pentagon no evidence of aircraft. 9/11 attacks were explosives, steel was up cycled to USS New York, evidence was tampered with. List goes on and on.

In the Navy I was an instructor in crash firefighting stationed at the International Airport in Keflavik, Iceland. I had worked my way from handline man on a MB-1 crash truck, to turret operator, to crew chief on a MB-5 crash truck, to a section leader (equivalent to crash captain) and finally instuctor. Because I know firsthand what a crash scene looks like I was taken in by the Pentagon where I was sure no plane of any size crashed.
Because I was sure the story about the Pentagon was disinformation I just naturally assumed the rest was also. I have read and watched everything I can get a hold of and, although I have my theories of what happened, I think it is important to refrain from postulating any theories. It is more important to get a new independent investigation started, possibly an international one made up of representatives from countries who lost some of their citizens that day.

I have spent sixty years on this planet and I have a very inquiring mind and a voracious thirst for knowledge of all kind. I don't like subjects to be just glossed over, I want full and frank details about everything that interests me, that usually causes people to think that I am bore, as I tend to give my opinions and stories in great detail. The 9/11 story has taken over my life, as I am an Ex fireman,and I try to discuss it with everyone I meet. Sometimes I find the apathy of some people with regard to this subject appalling as it has touched all our lives and will continue to do so for many years to come.
I saw the buildings collapse on television and I told my wife that it was definitely controlled demolition, and that it was probably built into the buildings as a safety measure to make sure that other buildings would not be decimated by a sideways collapse. A year or so later I saw two US citizens claim on The Muslim Channel that the US govt were involved, and they mentioned the website www.nineeleven.co.uk. What I learned from that and subsequent websites, and viewing Loose change final cut leaves me in no doubt that the unthinkable has actually been perpetrated by the authorities.

I'd spent 10.5 years active duty Navy as an Aviation Electrician, another 8 in the Reserves with training in aircraft fire fighting. Later on, I'd spent 7.5 years in the US Forest Service as a Physical Science Technician in wildland fire research where we monitored fire behavior, mostly under controlled conditions in an indoor facility. I also have a BA and an MA in Geography.
Fire was blamed for this collapse, or at least that was the last reason given. If that were the case, what fuels were used by the conflagration? Other than paper in filing cabinets, some furniture and people, what fuels supported combustion capable of melting a massive quantity of steel, which by the way was interconnected and a gigantic heat sink? Where was the aircraft debris? There is always debris in a crash. Speaking of which, there wasn't a sufficient quantity of fuel in the aircraft to burn down entire buildings made of concrete and steel.

I have many doubts with the official story. I don't understand how the buildings collapsed or how the jets disappeared in PA and the Pentagon. Would like to hear a report from a new committee regarding many of the questions and issues . Also, would like more information regarding the part Bin Laden played in the whole show. Also would like this blue page to end. Have I reached 70 words yet. This is turning into too much effort to sign a petition.

I personally watched both planes hit the WTC on television. I was present at Water Street near building 7 when it collapsed. I worked 21 days at the site recovering body parts.
I seem to remember a large upset by the public as the WTC was being built. The worry was that if ever an earthquake would cause it to collapse, it would leave a large number of dead due to it's height and crush area. I also seem to remember that as it was being occupied, walls were opened to strengthen the structure as improper hurricane measurements were taken. That could be the explosives smoking gun. I saw this both as an article and a discovery type TV program. I hope someone will find this recorded fact.

Even an 'dim wit' can see from film footage that the towers are collapsing at 'free fall' speed. A 'pancaking' building would not do that. And why did the third building 'fall', when it was not even involved in the attack?
