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.

That is, I flew both of these aircraft multiple times, they are in my log book! I'm one of three other people who started the 911 truth movement way back in 2001. I was a silent co-author in the Book, Painful Questions 911, by Eric Hufschmid, In as much as I was still flying with UAL at the time, I could NOT let my name appear anywhere in the book. After I retired from UAL, we made a DVD about same & My name does appear in this publication If possible, please list my name in your fine list of professionals.

Not enough investigation by far.

The manner in which Twin Towers fell. Again, no airline passengers and luggage, and mismatched aircraft debris. Pennsylvania crash, similar thing.

For those with a knowledge of science it is clear what happened to the WTC buildings. Controlled demolition. Even many with just common sense know the official story is inadequate. The questions that need to be addressed are who was responsible for the terrorist act and who was/is responsible for the continuing cover up.

The newest evidence of unreacted nano-thermite chips and spherical iron end-products is a compelling addition to the already overwhelming evidence. Any observer can see the glaring anomalies (speed, symmetry, squibs, sounds, focalized ejections) in all three demolitions...the problem is getting that observer to look emperically at the evidence in the fist place.

The collapse of building 7 cannot be explained by office (furnishings) fire. The anatomy of the collapse cannot be explained by a single column failure at one end of the building. Additionally, the evidence of thermite, dismissed by the official reports without testing, demands that further investigation be conducted. Obviously, if building 7 came down as the result of planned demolition then grave questions about our government are raised.

I strongly believe that, for whatever reason, the American public has not been told the truth about the building collapses at the World Trade Center on Sept 11, 2001. Specifically, there was no possible explanation for Building 7 to come down other than by use of explosives. Someone in our government knows what happened. The rest of us have a right to know.

Having witnessed the collapse of the second tower on television, I noticed brilliant white flashes on the lower floors immediately before collapse. Why was that? Why was that film clip never seen on TV again? During clean up at site zero, there was radioactivity detected, radionuclides that could only be present from a fission event. But due to the general public lack of understanding of nuclear stuff, this was passed off as a result of the intense heat of the fire, a scientifically impossible scenario. I would, as a nuclear chemist, like for this particular anomaly to be properly explained.

Official stories were put forth with too much haste, and with questionable details unexplained and uncommitted upon by media for weeks after the attacks. Evidence of a controlled demolition has been put forth in a way that is convincing, especially in the light of fire histories. Other major categories of details associated with the attacks including political climate, motivations, etc. require inclusion of suspicion of domestic involvement.

As someone intimately familiar with aircraft and building construction, I absolutely reject the idea that there were not devices inside the buildings systematically weakening the structures throughout. Building cannot fail globally and fall at free fall speeds from those lightweight aircraft and aircraft fuel.

I am a 6 yr veteran of the United States Navy as an Electronics Technician working on encrypted communication platforms, who considers myself a patriot. I have an AA w/ a focus in Electronics Technology from the University of Phoenix, and I am VERY curious about what happened on 9/11. It almost seems unbelievable that this atrocity could take place, but after watching 9/11: Blueprint for Truth, it seems more and more likely. I am not normally a conspiracy theorist, but the evidence shown in this video is hard to ignore. There MUST be another investigation, from unbiased industry leaders.
After watching 9/11:Blueprint for Truth, I felt obligated...no compelled to write about my concerns of what actually happened on that tragic day. As a veteran of the United States Navy, and out in the Pacific Ocean during the horrific event, I sincerely urge a more complete investigation of 9/11.

Born in Hew York City, moved to California when 8 years old. Went into the US Air Force at 18, then went to UC Berkeley and obtained a Bachelors degree in Mathematics. I worked for several companies in electronics before turning to computers at Bendix Oceanics Division, then to Hughes Research Labs for several years as computer manager and general support for the scientists. From there I ended up moving to Ventura where I worked for city government as computer system manger (technical manager, not personnel). I was awarded several honors and was favorably respected by my peers.
Once I'd seen the evidence presented on AE911Truth, I only wanted a full official government investigation to reevaluate the evidence gathered from many reliable sources. There are too many inconsistencies from the official story. It's only fair to the American People to be given the chance for the full and honest truth in this matter. If there are other serious decisions to be made about what criminal acts were done and by who, let's cross that bridge later. For now, a grievous crime has been committed, let's find out what really happened. It is so obvious by the way they fell that it was not due to the airplanes. Listening to firemen at the scene say the fires were minimal and almost totally under control plus the fact that high rise fires happen without loss of the building shows me that the fires were not the cause. That can be seen directly, also the obvious charges going off can be seen,.

I've never understood why the 9/11 commission failed to examine the rubble for the reasons for the free fall collapses. Steel buildings would not fall that way from a fuel fire. They appear to have been demolished professionally. Why was all the rubble removed so quickly without a complete analysis of every remaining component? Now I read that nano Thermite flakes were found in the concrete dust. To not investigate further shows some kind of cover up by the commission.

There are extremely many unanswered anomalies. One that always bothers me is why would the government want to absquatulate with all the business and street cams, and pay folks off to keep their mouths shut?! Dear fellow citizens, it's not enough to just pay attention. Each one of us must speak up about things our government does in non-compliance with ANY SINGLE ONE of our Constitutional rights! And make no mistake - the Constitution is LIBERAL, and so am I!!! Non-aggression and persistence are the only sustainable ways to change our paradigm.

I watched the 'joke' footage. anything constructed by man doesn't fall straight down. Gravity is always involved unless the collapse is done under 'controlled demolition circumstances' which the WTC collapse was on 9/11. When those bldgs were designed in the late 60's they incorporated the 'fully-loaded impact of, the top-of-the-line then, commercial jet' into the construction to withstand the impact and fuel detonation. Those bldgs were destroyed to further war-mongering and war factories just to get more rich. Destroying those bldgs was needed to start the Iraq and Afghan wars.

I completed my BA with a Major in English and a minor in Chemistry at UC Berkeley, 1964. I completed my MA in Biology at CalStateUniv, Long Beach in 1972; my thesis involved a multivariate comparison of benthic infauna of a 'natural' salt marsh to that of a dredged, residential and boating harbor in southern California.I completed all classwork, written and oral exams, and was advanced candidacy for a PhD in marine ecology at USC, in Los Angeles, in 1976. I collected all field data for an analysis of the pollution-impacted in fauna of Los Angeles-Long Beach harbors, but terminated my studies in order to a more lucrative position (in the private sector) to support myself, my wife, and two daughters.At several consulting firms in Southern California, I examined and projected man-induced impacts on the nearshore marine environments of southern California, Alaska, and the Red Sea off Saudi Arabia.
Although I was not trained as an engineer or architect, I can honestly say that I watched the collapse of the twin towers (on TV in California) in complete and utter disbelief! My initial response was a gut reaction which simply told me that the aircraft impacts could not possibly have brought those structures down so rapidly. As I followed the A&E and other studies of the whole sequence of events, I became thoroughly convinced that the NIST and other official explanations (including the rapid identification of the 'perpetrators') was complete hog-wash. Like many others, I have now come to the conclusion that collapse of Building 7 is proof positive that something is amiss. I am saddened to realize that so many intelligent and well-informed persons (including many of my very good and well-educated friends) dismiss my and your (plural) take on this whole business as ridiculous conspiracies. I am a scientist and rely on facts and careful observation to inform my opinions.

As a professional pilot, I didn't (and still do not) believe the official story about TWA800 being blown apart by a center fuel tank explosion after takeoff from New York, and I don't believe the official story about 7 World Trade Center either. Based on the known actions of the FBI and other agencies involved in debriefing (and re-programming) of eyewitnesses to the TWA800 disaster, I have no confidence in what we have been officially told about what happened to the World Trade Center, especially wherein Building 7 is concerned. It looks like a completely controlled collapse to me, and although I'm not an engineer, it doesn't take a rocket-scientist to understand that ALL of the buildings main vertical supports would have to have failed AT THE SAME INSTANT to allow the building to fall straight down. No, I think that we've been lied to in both of the aforementioned incidents. And, oh, by the way, I used to work as a mechanic on the Boeing 737-200 that Commerce Secretary Ron Brown died in (in a crash in Bosnia), and I don't believe the official story they told us about his unfortunate demise either. Does all this make me a crack-pot?

The program for my B. S. degree in Industrial Education included several courses in engineering and manufacturing. I have worked as a Technical Writer and Illustrator in industrial settings for decades. I have also done mechanical design involving the specification of structural members to withstand certain load conditions. So although I do not claim to be an expert, I have some familiarity with strength of materials and related technical matters. My father was an architect who designed high rises in the Washington, D. C. area. Before 9/11, my father and I had discussed the topic of determining the cause of a building collapse, which is something he was unfortunately required to do on occasion as a part of his job. One such collapse was a building under construction in which several workmen were killed. Upon inspection of the rubble, dad's theory that a key support member was defective turned out to be correct. Of course, the pattern of debris was not symmetrical, and the aftermath was very messy and expensive to rectify.
The suddenness, speed, and symmetry of the tower collapses have always struck me as extremely odd, making the official explanation very doubtful. Neither of the planes hit dead-center, and it seems improbable that jet fuel would be distributed uniformly through the given level of the structure. Uniform distribution of fuel would seem to be necessary to cause the structural members throughout a horizontal section of the building to melt and fail simultaneously. Also, the breach in one side of the structure due to the impact of the plane would have weakened that side more severely than the other sides. For these reasons alone, when a collapse began, one would expect the structural members on one side of the building to fail before those on the other side, and for the portion of the building above the level of impact to tip in the direction of the first-failing members as a result. The collapse of both buildings, however, was perfectly symmetrical and straight down. That this pattern of collapse could be due to the impact of airplanes, jet fuel and ensuing fire seems utterly implausible to me.

Physics, science, engineers, and architects are not needed to conclude something that so clearly visible. The building 2 gained speed as it feel into itself rather then to continue the original tilt motion that we all saw. That is impossible for anything unless another force was present. And with all three buildings the debris piles should have been extremely larger. Where did everything go?

I do not believe those buildings would collapse from the bottom being hit that high up. Also, planes would not explode on the exact moment of impact, or a split second before as it appears the second plane did in slow motion.
