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.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

Only recently have I begun to examine the structural collapse of the buildings. Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition.

I believe that the way the columns failed in wtc7 would not have caused an immediate collapse since there were many columns on one floor therefore if a single column fails it would not affect the stability of one floor really since there are other columns that would carry the loads.

We mainly do contract work for BNSF railroad. Our work combines electrical, signal, and elements of civil engineering.
What happened is just physically impossible, but I've actually had people tell me that it is possible for the top sections of the twin towers to fall at the same rate throughout their collapses. Building 7 is just ridiculous.

I've seen other investigations of the 9-11 attacks and they all point to the same thing, but the listing of reasons for doubting the official story as found on this web site is both the most succinct and compelling I've yet seen. As I read some of those points I thought Of course! I should not have needed an architect to point out those things! It is clear that further investigation is needed with testimony by experts such as Richard Gage.

I was a registered Architect in the State of California from 1970 until 1997 when I retired and moved to Maine. I had my own Architectural practice in San Diego for about 25 years, before which I was a head designer and Architect for SGPA Architects, and Mosher, Drew Architects in San Diego, California.
There is very little question in my mind that the collapse of all three WTC buildings was the result of planned controlled demolition based on the evidence that has been presented. Most importantly, all three buildings came down at nearly free-fall speed directly into their footprints, molten iron with traces of sulfur and magnesium were found underneath the rubble of all three buildings weeks after 9/11, and nano iron spheres and unexploded thermatic material has been found throughout the dust at numerous locations. This must be re-investigated based on all of the newly discovered, and the 911 commission report omitted evidence. Three thousand innocent people died that day, and to date, nearly that many have now died as a result of breathing the toxic dust produced by these murderous acts. Congress, we demand an new independent investigation with full subpoena power.

I have worked with rock mechanics stress testing using finite elements computer techniques. I have worked with explosives in the surface mining area: designing the drilling & rock blasting, mine design and production.
In my opinion the twin towers and building 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition: According to all the reports the towers took about ten seconds to hit the ground. therefore the buildings collapsed at free fall (by using the law of gravity, H=1/2 at2). In controlled demolition the explosives are distributed on the building key points and detonated simultaneously.

I have been an Electrical Engineer for most of my working career, including Hughes Aircraft Corp., Optoelectronics Corp, and Cox Broadcasting. I designed & built a radar mapping system for Pioneer Venus, designed and supported Ground support equipment and a fire control system unit for the F14 & F15 aircraft, and was Program Manager at Opto., Chief Engineer at Cox. I have building & construction experience in California as a licensed building contractor.
1)Jet fuel burning cannot melt steel. 2)Explosions were noted by witnesses before and during the fall. 3)Sparks coming from building during fall. 4)Free fall of the buildings into their footprint indicate the underlying structure was removed by explosion. 5)The pool of molten steel under the rubble (note #1 above) 6)Picture I saw of column cut at a diagonal in the debris. 7)The fact that building #1's top started to topple sideways and then it rotated back to the footprint indicates controlled demolition. 8)The most damming of all is the finding of unburned high energy thermite in the dust of the towers. 9)The statement made about pulling building 7. 10)The disappearance of jet engines at the Pentagon. 11)Hole at Pentagon too small for a jet liner with wings. 12)The convenient absence of jet fighters that should have been scrambled in this event of hijacked, off course jetliners. 13) Bush's reaction after being told.

Larry Silverstein admitted they 'pulled' WTC 7. If detonations were placed in each building prior to their being brought down, then it seems fairly straight forward that the events that took place that tragic day were covered up by the MSM in an attempt to take our FREEDOM!

I served over 10 years in the military and have learned not to believe anything the government says. I was only out of the military three years when 9/11 happened. And I became frightened. I do have one year of college but no degree.
As I have stated above, I will never believe the report by the government. I have always listened to the witnesses that were there on 9/11, the police, fire fighters and civilian experts (not the government). I give their testimony weight and they were shunned. My heart goes out to the families. There is no way the buildings should have come down.

I served in the United States Navy from 1982 to 1989. I have worked for Alaska Airlines from 1989 to the present day. My job titles have been Aviation Electricians mate, C-9B Crew Chief, Avionics Technician, A & P Mechanic, Quality Control Inspector, Lead Quality Control Inspector and Avionics Shop Inspector. I attended Naval aircrew man school and Naval aviation technical school. I took Non Destructive testing courses at Contra Costa Community College in California. I attended Control Data Institute computer repair school in Oakland California.
From my over 39 years of aviation maintenance experience, I believe that the two aircraft that hit the twin towers could not have caused a collapse. The main strength of a modern airliner is achieved from the fuselage being pressurized. When airliners are taxiing on the ground or parked they are very susceptible to fuselage damage when they are not pressurized. Therefore when the aircraft hit the towers on 9/11 they rapidly decompressed, losing their structural strength. The aluminum fuselage and aluminum support structure would have been shredded and ripped to pieces on impact. The engines and landing gear would have caused the most significant damage.

I was shocked to see the twin towers fall straight down! From my own experience and study, the only buildings that fall that way are blown down. As a pilot, I know jet fuel burns, but not that hot! Plus, even if it did, only the initial floors affected would collapse, not all the floors. The building was built too strongly for that.

Clearly explosives had to be used otherwise you would have an A symmetrical collapse of the towers when the planes hit those buildings that were designed to take a direct hit from a Boeing 707, which is actually about the same size as the 747 and 767 and the fact that the first one hit was the second one to come down was proof fires didn't bring down these buildings. If fire destroyed those towers then your Bar-B-Que grill should fall into the flames when your cooking on it.

I am currently enlisted in the military where I am a salvage diver for the military. I have a bit of a working knowledge of explosives and expeditionary warfare. And I am not afraid to put my career, life, and well being in jeopardy for this cause. For if we can re-investigate the attack with no bias and simply look at the facts of the matter it will be revolutionary to the consciousness of the American people when they find without a doubt that their government elected by the people personally committed an act of terrorism against its own people. I think Stalin would be proud of these lowlifes.
This direct act of terrorism against the American people on September 11th and the political run around being perpetuated afterwards by the media of our arguable democratic nation is like personally witnessing a robbery, rape, murder, or any other horrific act taking place right before my eyes. Only that these robbers, rapists, and murderers are the very people who are telling you the step by step events of what is going on. Like if you were to have John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Domer, and Ted Bundy reporting to the American people the details of there crimes. The lies wont work forever.

I was an Explosive and Demo expert in the US Army Rangers. I have been researching metals and tolerance and burn rate. I saw the building fall and heard and recognize the sound of shape charges and that is what happened in NY on 9-11-01
9/11 cover up continues and the shills in the mainstream media only attack with insults anyone who actually questions the official report. We must challenge this by educating all of the intentional murder and destruction of a building.

I as a fool did not even consider this on the day it happened. I found Alex Jones in 1997 had him on radio for about 6 months then lost touch and literally forgot. I was caught in the left right paradigm until 9-11. it took another 2 1/2 yrs to finally be woken up to government sponsored terror and at the tender age of 32 I came to the full and realization that NOTHING EVER BIG HAPPENS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT KNOWING ABOUT! So now I am an advocate for truth and to protect and preserve the REPUBLIC!

I am an under water photographer as well and marine life artist. I am just a simple person that loves life and adventure. I also enjoy music and play drums as a hobby. I am a self taught artist. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Now I paint. I did go to school for photography. After my education I learned to scuba dive and realized what direction I wanted to go with my photography. Soon after I took up under water photography, I began to paint marine life.
I have viewed videos of firemen that were at the scene that witnessed multiple explosions. People in the main lobby that heard explosions near them that had to step over bodies to exit the building before WTC1 came down.Why did the media and investigation exclude them? I have done my own research and watched many buildings implode from the use of controlled demolition and and that's what it looks like to me. Building 7 wasn't even scratched by a plane and it came down just like the other buildings. I don't split atoms on my spare time but come on. I have watched videos of many high rise buildings engulfed in flames and not one of them fell and especially didn't fall at free fall speed. One high rise I watched on video had been burning so out of control that the fire fighters had to let it burn out on its own which took around twenty four hours and it was still standing when it was all over. And We The Peoplejust have to move on with the original theory. How un-American it is, that our government, can't talk about these country altering questions that these many architects and engineers have.
