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 have always thought something was not quite right about the collapse of the two WTC towers. The way they disintegrated and created so much dust and smoke just does not make sense. And building 7 is completely bizarre. One second, a complete office building with some small fires, and then a perfect free fall collapse into its footprint.....amazing. We need to do a complete re-analysis of this event.

During the 1960s I studied construction technology at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I obtained a BFA from Herron School of Art in 1974. I became a licensed architect in the state of Indiana through the grandfather clause in 1977. During my career I taught construction technology at IUPUI, Ivy Tech, and Vincennes Universities. I worked for medium to large architectural firms on projects of varying sizes, both residential and commercial. I established a private practice specializing in residential and small commercial projects. I became LEED accredited in 2005. Throughout my architectural carrier, I have produced artwork based on Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry.
It is obvious that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. This fact has huge consequences for our nation and the world. We are at a crossroads. How we come down on the two sides of this issue will bear heavily on the direction of humanity's future. At the here and now, we must find the courage and perseverance to uncover and confront the truth wherever it may lead. Only then can we begin the work of fashioning a better world. I am proud of our profession for taking the lead on this issue. Our expertise, our ability to reason and present complicated concepts, our integrity and professional restraint are precisely the qualities needed. At this moment in time, we are the ones.

The physical evidence as you know is overwhelming regarding the destruction of the towers and building #7. The Silverstein connection unquestionably puts him as a person of interest at least. A political understanding of what is happening in America only further places several additional parts of the puzzle together.

As a mother and grandmother, I want the truth about 9/11 to be told for the benefit of my grandchildren and their children after them, so that something similar is never repeated.
I've read everything I can get my hands on and watched every video that I could find. There are too many unanswered questions, and the 9/11 Commission's report was a joke. Listening to the firefighters saying that building 7 was coming down is what got my attention initially. The foreknowledge of that is what made me question everything else we were told about that day.

I'm not saying the government did it. But I don't believe the complete truth was released to us for some reason which I believe the American people deserve to know.

I am a trained and experienced Forest Fire Fighter 1990 & 1994. I've seen first hand fires hot enough to melt steel.
I'm not buying 'The Official Story' on several facts I know. First, JP8 is basically kerosene and will never burn hot enough to melt steel. One hundred percent of any and all JP-8 left onboard those aircraft was consumed on impact in those massive fireballs, so it's a moot point that it 'weakened' the steel. Never in the history of steel framed buildings, have we lost a steel framed building to a fire, not before or since 9/11. In fact, there's been several 'tower' fires, worldwide, before and after 9/11 that have burned hotter and longer, yet they still stand?

Was employed for 32 years as a professional firefighter. I was trained as a fire investigator. I held the rank of Captain for 21 of those years. As such, I am capable of postulating the effects of aircraft impacting the sites involved.
Where to begin: In the South Tower, just prior to detonation, a Battalion Chief arrived at or near the impact floor and reported via radio only two lines (two engine companies each deploying a 1 3/4' hose line) could extinguish the fire. Very soon after, it appeared that the top few floors began to tilt and before that section would fall away it was apparently vaporized into dust.

Only demolition could collapse these buildings. Fire in this type of occupancy would not melt steel. Evidence of chemicals needed and produced during a demolition of this type originate from defense contractors. Steel columns that bear the effect of fire do not evaporate. 45 degree angle cuts in steel columns do not occur organically. Too much evidence to the contrary of the NIST report.

I can't prove or disprove the way the Towers fell. Building Seven though is one of the many obvious clues that leads anyone reasonable to believe there is more to the story. No type one building has ever collapsed like that.

The physical evidence, which contradicts the official story, is staggering. I knew when I watched it happening on the day via TV on the news that those buildings should not be collapsing in the way they did due to the plane impacts and fire. The NIST report could have been written by an under-graduate, with a grade C for lack of references to any real physical evidence!

Was working Mountain Power in Tucson when 9-11 happened. I had thought OK we've been attacked again on our soil. Wait and see, til now. Evidence does make sense to me. Later years when a problem arose with ID I couldn't get for base access to Airforce One project. I worked 3 bases and 3 municipal airports prior. Someone was trying to block/harm me. I'd had prior experiences with the Corp of Engineers (not anything bad. Good actually). Because of that I believe that things can be pre-arranged. Although 9-11 is now something I'm believing 'something is wrong'. There is more to my experiences with the airbases here, but I'm seeing many discrepancies in 9 - 11 now.

I was in elementary school in third grade when the attacks on September 11, 2001 happened. After I graduated high school, that's when I began to hear different things about the attacks and different theories on what really happened. From reading articles, watching YouTube videos, and doing my own research, I have come to the conclusion that the official narrative from the Main-Stream Media is false. The buildings cannot be completely destroyed by an airplane. There had to be other factors involved, and important people running our country had to know about what was about to take place on September 11, 2001. The truth should be told, instead of propagating to the public a false story and keeping us ignorant to the facts.

As a firefighter the explanation presented by 9/11 commission report and the NIST is insufficient. OSHA, NFPA, and the firefighting community has been given no additional safety directives or tactical guidelines regarding high rise fires. If such events, as presented by NIST, are possible then governing agencies that oversee the firefighting profession have an obligation to provide additional literature and training in the event another large scale high rise fire occurs. No such procedures or directives have been documented since 9/11.

I was working and living in Sarasota, Florida on 9-11-2001 when the tragedy occurred. To a normal guy like myself the tragedy of the Twin Towers and Tower 7 was a strange event the way the buildings collapsed in the way that they did. Seeing the way that the implosion of buildings are executed by professionals, the Towers looked like they had help by implosive devices. I could not understand how the planes could have brought the buildings down in that way. There should have been time to evacuate the people in the levels below the strike points. I believe that the truth should be investigated and I salute all the experts that are putting time and effort into turning over the rock that exposes the complete evil of 9/11.

There has to be more to it than planes crashing into the buildings. Numerous explosions occurred as the towers fell, something else was going on. WTC 7 caused by the other falling towers? Nope. Jet fuel won't melt steel.

Currently plant engineer for an industrial anhydrous ammonia refrigeration facility.
On 9/11 when someone ran into my office telling me of the attack I called my staff to a conference room where we had a large television and when the first tower came down I told my staff and the plant managers who had joined us that what they were watching was controlled demolition. When I saw the second tower came down my life changed forever. When I saw building 7 implode I told my staff we were on the brink of civil war now! I watched the news videos over and over and did not leave that conference room for 2 solid days. I cannot believe that anyone with any experience in engineering, structural steel fabrication or firefighting could possibly believe the collapse of those structures in such a manor was anything other than by design. There are a hundred reasons I could site as to why the official version of these events is complete science fiction but least said, it would be completely scientifically and physically as well as mathematically impossible for these structures to collapse as they did unless it was by design!!!!

I know now that jet fuel burns at 750 degrees - on impact, the fuel would have incinerated, an additional fuel source/whether bomb or timed detonations were evident, not just through watching countless videos and hearing from eyewitnesses, but through a common and practical approach - of what is possible and what is impossible. I believe in transparency and it is quite evident that the United States Government has created a cover up for what truly transpired on 9/11.
