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.

To all whose responsibility it was to investigate 9/11 collapses thoroughly: review it again or we will relive it again. Don't be naive and think that those who got away with it won't use their power and terror again. Maybe not in your lifetime--maybe just in your kids or grand kids--not important though, right? I think you know the answer.

Just about any discerning high-school kid, given objective information, will see through the official 9/11 fairy tale. The role of scientists, engineers and architects is less to impose opinions than to reassure other truth-seekers that they are on the right track and provide them with simple arguments to rebuke the keepers of the faith; Richard's simple free-fall speed model fits right in this picture.

My ideas have all have been addressed in the documentary associated with your site. I work with steel and structures. I understand all of the science. Team up with the insurance company that had to dole out the cash, they should have massive interest in getting to the science and physics of the matter at hand and possibly fund testing and investigations.

I believe it is impossible for the three buildings to collapse in an identical form to what is achieved by pulling the building, as is the jargon used by demolition experts. I'm sure that if we could develop the perfect lie-detector it would be of value to interview President Bush, Rumsfeld and others who were involved in operations at a high level. Perhaps now that sufficient time has elapsed for people to be less intimidated, we could have a more meaningful investigation.

AE911truth.org listed a lot of undeniable facts based upon structural and physical principles, that are in conflict with the official explanations of public authorities and politicians. Some of these facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that there are not more voices in the world who express their unbelief.

Educated and employed, shortly after graduation, as a chemist in the field of metallurgy, which I pursued for 7 years. Currently, an active fire-fighter with 13 years experience, achieving the rank of Chief Crew Commander.
Chemical findings do not add up. The chemicals found, as well as the temperatures reached within WTC 1 & 2, are inconsistent with uncontrolled fire burns. WTC 7 was in no way threatened by fire. Any fire-fighter could have put those fires out with two water lines and four fire-fighters (two on each line). End of story......but apparently not.

As I watched each of the towers collapsing, to me they looked exactly the same as controlled demolitions. The more evidence I watched and read, the more I was convinced the towers were brought down not by the fires resulting from the planes crashing into them, but by officials that made a conscious decision to bring them down. I watched tower fires from all over the world and those which I truly believed would collapse never did! The final evidence that convinced me of a controlled demolition was the molten steel pouring out - as if in a foundry.

After leaving school in 1982, I worked in a shipbuilding yard for 5 years as a steel plater, cutting forming and assembling steel parts, assemblies and sections. This gave me a grounding in how steel acts when it is heated and shaped and the stresses it can withstand. In 1987, I joined the British Army as a Royal Engineer. One of our key abilities is the use of explosives to demolish structures. We had in depth training and practice at calculating the least amount of explosives to use, how to position the explosives on the key load bearing structural elements to demolish the structure effectively. I was trained to use conventional explosives along with linear cutting charges and improvised devices. My main day to day role was with construction plant equipment and I worked on several non explosive demolishing tasks during my career.
When I watched the news coverage, my gut feeling was that there was something not right about the speed and way those towers fell after being on fire for such a short time. I, like most other people became to accept the official story because of the biased media coverage of the whole event. It wasn't until a few years later and I saw a clip of Tower 7 coming down and I immediately knew the official story was a total lie because that building was, without any doubt whatsoever, a blatant controlled demolition. I know from experience how little explosive it actually takes to cut steel beams and if the right supporting structures are cut, a building will collapse. That process for Building 7 had to be carefully calculated and planned. The placement of the required explosives could be done fairly quickly.

These structures were designed to come down in the same manor that they did by using controlled demolition.

Clearly evident there was controlled demolition involved in All WTC structures. There is no report available that shows firefighters entering Bldg. 7 to make an initial attack/assessment of the office fires and determining there was no way to put the fires out. When that occurs, we as fire fighters conduct Surround & Drown. If the fire can't be attacked from the Interior, Incident Command is notified (radio, face to face) we pull out (pull the building) and conduct Exterior Attack operations. There was not one piece of fire equipment or firefighter fighting WTC 7. Three basic steps in fire fighting are, 1) Put the wet stuff on the red stuff, 2) Attack from the unburned side 3) Save the big piece.

I am a former paid firefighter and current volunteer firefighter. Currently a certified arborist and business owner. I have some college education.
At first I believed the stories that presented by media and the PBS science show NOVA. I saw the documentary explosive evidence on another PBS station and it changed my life. and ever since, I have researched the available evidence with the A&E science in mind and believe that they are correct. Also with some of my firefighting experience and education, I never had heard of an office fire collapsing a building, if that were the case I'm sure buildings would never be built that high in the first place. Thanks for exposing the real science of a building collapse.

My educational background is in the Fire Service and Emergency Medicine. I am a California State Fire Marshal certified Firefighter-I and an Emergency Medical Technician - (Basic) with Automatic External Defibrillator, IV Therapy, and Combi-tube certifications, also CPR certified. I became a firefighter January 2001.
Being a firefighter trained in building construction in college courses and in my Basic Firefighter Academy training I find it very difficult for structural steel beams the size of those used in constructing World Trade Center Buildings 1,2, and 7 to fail with just the combustion/heat of Jet-1A fuel aka:(kerosene). What would be left after the jet fuel burned off would be nothing more than a 'room and contents' fire. Essentially carpet, drywall, ceiling tiles, IT fiber optic cable, desks, office chairs and furniture, any and all paper products, office equipment such as telephones, copy machines, and fax machines would simply NOT generate enough heat for a structural failure of this magnitude to occur.

I've learned enough to know that the truth surrounding important events is often hidden. It takes a great deal of work on the part of organizations like AE911Truth.org, journalists, scientists, and others to find out the truth and then get it disseminated to the public.
No official explanation for the collapse of the three World Trade buildings has ever adequately explained how beams on each floor that were designed to withstand a jet airliner crash and resulting heat could fail. And there were at least four of those beams on each office floor of the 100+ story building. The questions surrounding the collapse of the buildings are not going away. The family of the victims and the public deserve an adequate, in-depth explanation for all of the questions surrounding these and other tragedies occurring on 9-11.

I am first a US Citizen and Veteran of The United States of America and a caring and compassionate person that had rather give than receive, such as most I imagine. I have worked in the past as a Fire Fighter as well as in Law Enforcement as I was the day of 9/11. I have since retired from that type of work and am now involved at a local Tech School assisting students with their abilities in Entrepreneurship. I served this nation proudly and am asking you to do the same and look again at the possibilities presented by this organization, AE911Truth.
We the people deserve the truth in order to deal with such tragedies. If there is evidence that show this to be possible and we don't pursue the truth then we have lost all confidence in each other as a nation. Do the right thing and reopen or start a new investigation. I, as a US Citizen, won't let this lie.

Although my formal education is without any degree, I have long term experience in both residential and commercial construction - and I am well read and self-educated. My IQ is reasonably high. - - I am also an intuitive. I was in the backcountry in NM on 9/11...I did not see any video of events on 9/11 for almost 2 weeks. I kept asking 'how could an airplane make a highrise collapse? Isn't that impossible?' - - My opinion never changed, even AFTER I saw the videos. - -
Physics does not lie. - - I have no idea how any trained physicist could support any of the shoddy investigations of 9/11. - - You simply cannot crush a steel core building under its own weight. If that were possible, they would be inherently unsafe for human habitation. - - WTC7 collapse is absolute proof that something is seriously awry with every event that day. It was simply impossible - unless some kind of assisted demolition or controlled demolition and/or explosives were used to clear out the support structure.

In reviewing all the visual evidence, the auditory evidence, and forensic evidence, I can come to only one conclusion. That is that these 3 buildings, WTC 1, 2, and Building 7 were brought down in a controlled demolition.
