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 30+ years in power systems and plant engineering management, also manufacturing and construction project management, serving several Fortune 500 firms and a federal agency.
I vividly recall witnessing 9/11 CNN TV's premature announcement the building-7 had 'collapsed'. I did not believe what I was hearing then and to this day I still do not accept that WTC-7 'collapsed'. It is counter to all I know about the strength of modern steel structures. Such buildings do not free-fall even if struck by a jumbo jet. The physics of falling objects in earth's gravitational field do not allow building free-fall unless uniformly 'pulled down' with explosives.

I graduated from the Electronics Technician Program from Devry in 1990. Worked in electronics for several years then became an automotive mechanic and now an automotive and equipment mechanic. I also do some metal fabrication work and welding.
I was stunned to see the towers collapse, it seemed impossible. When I researched all of the events from 9/11 I found that in my mind the official story is impossible and there was a deliberate cover up. I do not know exactly what happened, I find it impossible to believe the official story.

My practical education was a general grade and HS education. Later, in my working life, I was on-the-job trained for welding/transport/material moving, heavy machinery assembly, loading, unloading and moving.
I viewed on television as did many others the second collapse of the (2nd) north tower. After having viewed/filmed controlled demolition/collapses of planned (various/worldwide) demolitions, it was IMMEDIATELY apparent (to ME) that the collapse of the second Tower, and the first as well after having seen video taped versions, that they were BOTH controlled, previously planned demolitions. There can be no question given one/many observing evidence of demolitions that these were controlled events.

I am convinced that the collapse of all three buildings was a pre-planned event and the lives of the people inside the buildings at the time were considered by the perpetrators as 'collateral damage'. You can convince a shopkeeper or a taxi driver that a plane crash and office fires caused the collapse, but you can't fool an Engineer. I saw the first collapse live on TV and my first thought was 'no way!' - then the second collapse occurred and my thoughts went into overdrive. I have been looking at every video and photo of the damage and my own conclusion is that there are too many holes in the official reports. An independent investigation must be made. My sympathy goes out to those who lost their loved ones in this horrific event and the events that followed.

My younger brother had worked in WTC prior to 9/11. He witnessed and lived through this horrific event, but died years later with respiratory complications. He was a fundamentally changed person afterward and became keen on prepping for future catastrophe. Upon consideration of all of the inconsistencies and omissions surrounding the official conclusions of the 9/11 commission, I feel that the perpetrators/those with foreknowledge of the events of 9/11 have escaped justice.

I am a United States citizen who feels that there are those in power who are betraying the very people whom they represent. I love my country and am struggling to find a way to contribute to the cause of justice and a country we can all, once again, be proud of!
The blueprint for truth presentation is just what I had been looking for - an intelligent, scientific approach that did not rely on fear mongering or typical dramatic conspiracy theory tactics which only do a disservice to the very cause it tries to promote. I am eager to do what I can to expose the responsible parties of his hideous lie.

The two towers appear to have been blown up. The third building is a mystery. The Pentagon hit is also mostly a mystery. Why? There is much more information and it should be available to the public.

I was in NYC [live in SLC,Ut] on 9-11 and watched in disbelief as the fires intensified. Always wondered why helicopters didn't attempt to rescue people. I became suspicious of some form of cover up when I saw the make up of the 9-11 Commission. Living close to BYU and saw his story on Bldg 7 in local paper and a serious inquiry followed. The more I've studied the more I've come to doubt the 9-11 Commission Report. Had our flight not been 1 hour 40 minutes late, I and 3 other persons would have been in the WTC North Tower at the time the first plane struck. I think because of this I have much more interest in getting to the truth of this matter as it has affected me deeply.

I am a jeweler and a certified welder. I know the integrity of metals. I know how hot they must get to work them.
The metal that had no heat damage should have held up the weight they bore all along. How could undamaged beams and columns move out of the way without slowing down the collapse? Physics- buildings just don't collapse at free fall speed! To have three buildings fall in one day when none have ever before or since fallen due to fire is by shear odds impossible.

I'm 26 years old, I'm a student at the metallurgy school of Laval in Quebec, Canada. I know about metal structure and I believe that the official version of the WTC tours collapsed is the biggest frame in the history of mankind.
It's a total disgrace, how can the people that are in charge of our well being (government) be capable of doing such a thing! In my opinion this was all for money, the greatest crime in this world have been made for money, it's a shame....

Graduated Highschool. Spent 5yrs. in Piping Apprenticeship. Schooled at College Station at Texas A&M for communication cable splicer for Southwestern Bell Telephone. Took IPET course with SWB at Oklahoma City Location. Worked in all fields of pipe fitting including certification in the many welding processes involving SMAW and GAW technologies, with experience in metal temperatures and melting characteristics, exotic metals, not limited to but including titanium, stainless, and carbon steels with nickel inclusion.
I am convinced that the buildings were demolished by experts who rigged the buildings prior to the destruction and went as far as to collude with many governmental departments to do so. I was working just north of NYC when the incident occurred and I knew of people directly associated with me in my job performance who were in the building when the incident occurred.

My husband and I are just regular people. I have a background in chemistry and hydrology. My husband's background is hydrology but includes considerable amount of welding, construction, some demolition and use of explosives.
Prior to 9-11 , my husband and I had watched a PBS documentary on the controlled demolition of a hotel in Salt lake City, Utah. So when we watched the destruction of the Towers on 9/11, the morning it occurred, we recognized it as a controlled demolition that obviously was coordinated with the planes hitting the buildings. We were quite surprised when no one seemed to pick up on that aspect of the 9-11 tragedy. The only part of the demolitions ever talked about was the planes hitting the buildings. We did not learn of WTC 7 demolition for several years. That (failure to report) alone is troubling.

I am currently a Welder at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg. I plan to be an Iron Worker and work on the construction of new buildings and bridges.
My question would be, how much money was spent on fire prevention for one of the most protected buildings in New York? Also, there were apparently fires on only a few floors, so how come the implosion of the building was perfect? I am an American Citizen and pay tax dollars, and would like to know why we are blatantly being lied to.

How can NIST say that planes practically cut WTC 1&2 in half, but then leave only a small hole in the pentagon? How did WTC 7 collapse from office fires when no other steel buildings have ever collapsed from fire damage? The case is not closed.

Why. Too much time from November of 93 to July of 1994 not being fixed and completed. Why.

In conjunction with my lifetime of farming, I have also continuously operated my own machinery & metals repair and fabrication business.
The rapid fall of the three WTC buildings, the extremely high temperatures required to melt and vaporize metals, and the presence of super thermite in the dust are just a few of the scientific proofs that have convinced me that the official explanations are not truthful and that we need and deserve a new, independent and comprehensive investigation into the 9-11-2001 tragedy.
