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 was able to believe that a plane hit the twin towers, but could not comprehend any forces including localize heat at a high level that could bring the towers to collapse. I have never seen any explanation of why building #7 collapsed. In fact, I was not even aware that a third building had been destroyed ... based upon any mass media coverage. I only learned about the third building and evidence of explosive remnants years later. I know we have more to learn about what really happened.

Engineering is a discipline that relies on verifiable facts, not unsupportable opinions or statements clearly designed to hide the facts. The physical mechanisms and forces causing the THREE WTC buildings to collapse at an acceleration approaching 9.8 m/s2 must be explained through engineering principles. The intentional avoidance of this issue in the formal 9-11 commission's report, and the lack of any reference to the WTC7 demolition, is evidence of a deliberate cover-up.

Based on the video presented, I agree with all parts of the analysis and associated conclusions. I believe further evidence displaying more facts (especially prior knowledge) to the 911 story can be found in the time frames a few days before and after the event. Essentially, find & follow the money trails of the persons or organizations who would have benefited from all the destruction...like wall street traders, insurance companies, governments...etc. There is so much more to investigate in putting together this story of what happened and who are responsible.

It is obvious that the attacks didn't collapse the building. Apart from the view that jet fuel doesn't melt steel (let alone the very little amount of fuel with respect to the the vast amount of massive steel), there were sub street level explosions before the buildings came down.

I began the formal study of horticulture in 1972, completing my degree in 1977. Horticulture is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing botany, plant physiology and pathology, the study of insects and other plant pests, soils and soil analysis, chemistry, plant identification, surveying, and the construction of plumbing, irrigation, and electrical utility systems, business law, plant nursery operations, and technical report writing. For all but two of my working years, I have spent in the hands-on application of my education in the service of my employers and customers. Since 1989, I have focused almost entirely on the care and removal of trees, and in writing professional reports for the development environmental review process, for insurance companies, and for attorneys working on tree-related issues. I have been certified by the International Society of Arborists since 1988, and also hold the Tree Risk Assessor Qualification. Much of what I do relates to a practical understanding of the physical forces that bear upon the structure of trees, the strengths and weaknesses of the same, and situations and conditions that predispose trees to failures, and their precipitating causes.
My first impression upon seeing the video of the falling buildings on that fateful day was, 'There is no possible way that such a thing could happen in this country without the foreknowledge and assent of officials at the highest levels'. All of the documentary evidence that I have seen indicates intentional destruction of the buildings, and that the airplanes alone could not have caused the buildings to collapse. I am not sure of the exact explanation, but I am thoroughly convinced that the official explanation is a lie.

I believe if building 7 were collapsing, it would stack up and fall over. I believe that it is many detonations at the base of the building that compact and clear room fast enough for the building to fall into at freefall speed, to create what demolitions experts invented, a building implosion, to keep the building within it's own center, or footprint, and into that neat centered pile.

I believe that Americans and all honest citizens around the world deserve a more thorough investigation of the events surrounding, leading up to and following the tragic day of September 11, 2001. The WTC buildings near- instantaneous collapses as seen on camera, added to questions from over a thousand architects and engineers from America and around the world, would make a new investigation of September 11, 2001 imperative. As stated by countless architects and engineers, questions about building temperatures, quality of debris found around the WTC after the collapse of the buildings, the reporting of explosive sounds in the lobby and basements before the collapses, questions of nano thermite possibly present at Ground Zero, the eerie look of the collapses themselves, none of these seem to be explained in a satisfactory way by the official 9/11 report. The truth is owed to the American people. Kathryn Forrestser Thro

I'm a New Yorker who worked in the WTC area including right next door 100 steps away from bldg 1 & 2. I was among the first to enter the building for a tour before it was even open for business. I can tell you from first hand experience and witnessing the actual construction of the building that no jet liner could bring these buildings down. Also, the pancake theory is the most asinine deflection of the truth imaginable. It is basically saying that a structure designed to hold up components of a structure, which it had been doing without any difficulty at all including people, furniture, computers, generators etc...suddenly failed to hold up that same weight (minus ejected materials due to explosion) simply because without evidence, (the theory posits) this same collective weight of the structure became unbearable because the aggregate spacing/height between the height above and the height below has changed. Logically even if there was a pancake effect isn't it true that the structural foundation below was holding up the entire structure above? Even if the height above compressed, the weight the lower structure has been designed to hold up for that structure is not reduced or diminished. Like a table holding up a stack of books wouldn't collapse simply because you reorganize the books or reformat the stack.The perps must be made to pay dearly and as an eternal reminder to those who think to do such things.

It is crystal clear the narrative that went out on day one was and is FALSE. There is overwhelming amounts of evidence showing the real TRUTH. Buildings do not fall in their own footprint due to fire, there was demolition charges planted and THERMITE found - molten steel. There are false claims by the droves pertaining to the airplanes in each location. Justice will prevail.

This tragedy of the WTC should never have occurred. Speculation on US government involvement leads one to really analyze the theories of sabotage and hate for the United States. This should never have happened on free country for it’s citizenry let alone any other global country. It changed America forever from that day to the present. We are not free anymore.
