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.

Controlled demolition is the most logical explanation for the collapse of the WTC. If a fire could cause such devastation, no one would be allowed to live and work in high rises. The risk would be too high. If the official story was true, the government would be looking to blame (prosecute) the designers, architects, engineers of WTC for ineptitude.

I have practiced as an Architect for over 20 years in both the UK and Australia. I have been employed by some of the most respected firms in the cities in which I have worked. In the employ of others in the UK I worked on major projects such as a new headquarters for the glass-makers Pilkington; in Australia I worked on the Qantas Sydney Domestic Terminal. I have run my own office, Haughton Design, since October 2002 specializing in high quality medium to large commercial office buildings in the Sydney city fringe.
There is no doubt in my mind that the collapses of all three buildings were caused by professionals using explosives. I remember my surprise at the time that the buildings collapsed after the plane impacts. I could not understand why they would do so Your demonstration of the creation of the myth was clear. The choice of words structural collapse by the man in the black t-shirt and baseball cap was clearly scripted.

I have a degree in Civil Engineering and have been in construction for over 35 years. For the last 25 years, we have managed construction sites including concrete structures.
I have doubts about the official story of how the twin towers and building 7 collapsed. Photographs of the cut steel and information on the amount of heat generated seems to be in disagreement with what happened. The government should start a new scientific investigation to address all the anomalies that we can see in the footage.

It is my belief that WTC 1 and 2 were taken down by non-conventional controlled demolition in which the buildings were exploded from the top down and the large core columns were cut using thermite. WTC 7 was taken down by a classic implosion demolition. All three buildings could not have collapsed/pancaked while falling in on themselves at near free fall speed.

Occupation: Operations
I have experience operating a 180 ton electric arc furnace melting steel and for the past 10 years working at an oil refinery. So I know what the temperature of steel must be to melt and the temperature at which fuel burns.
It's my opinion that right after those planes hit each tower the jet fuel burnt off (large ball of fire). It's impossible for jet fuel when burning to reach the temperature needed to melt steel. Why was their molten metal days and weeks after this event ? Buildings only free fall into their self's under CONTROLLED conditions. We can go to the bottom of the ocean and find the black boxes and piece a plane together, but they couldn't find one black box from the 9/11 event (PLEASE). What about building #7 no plane hit it...

As a mechanical engineer, I have over 20 years experience specializing in structural design. I am particularly involved in the assessment of residual strength and ultimate collapse of damaged structures.
During 9/11/01, I was away on business in France, working with a partner company there. Not knowing French (I was escorted around work with translators), I could only understand the photographic TV accounts in my hotel room for the days that followed. Having previously seen many times the free fall nature of purposely demolished buildings, I instantly surmised that the terrorists had somehow accessed the buildings and planted charges to ensure that they would fall. What didn't make sense to me was, if the terrorists had gone to that kind of trouble to plant demolition charges in the building, why would they even bother flying a plane into the buildings? When I finally got back to the US, I was amazed that there was no talk or investigation of this possible cause of the buildings' collapse.

It looked from the very beginning that this is not naturally how buildings fall, that this was somehow a planned event. As a result, we know the media has covered this up for the last 20 years and therefore we have not trusted the media for the last 20 years

Like many people on September 11, 2001, I watched in horror as the events unfolded before my eyes on live television. Since that time, I've believed the narrative put forth by our government. However, over the last year and a half of seeing and hearing many things that haven't made sense, it has become apparent to me that our government can't be trusted. It turns out that in sharing my thoughts on distrust of our government with other people, I am not alone and one person told me about WTC Building 7 collapsing on 9/11. At first, I didn't believe that there really was a third building that collapsed on 9/11 because I had never heard about it or at least I don't remember hearing about it. To my surprise, it didn't take long to find the A&E for 9/11 Truth website and after watching several of the videos, I was feeling shocked and angry at what I was seeing and hearing. I am absolutely appalled and want to know the truth about what happened on 9/11. I believed that America was attacked that day and now I believe it was an inside job. Americans deserve to know what happened and the innocent people who suffered and lost their lives on 9/11 deserve justice!

I cannot figure out why our government insists that a handful of Arabs brought down the twin towers when there is abundant evidence of intentional demolition. Also, the FBI has failed to follow-up on people and organizations that made huge amounts of money from stock investments and insurance receipts.

Obviously the buildings were taken down by implosion, thermite, and mini nukes. Why the glowing molten metals in the basement days/weeks afterward? BBC reporter saying Building 7 fell when it was still standing in the shot behind her?. OOPS! Bush's brother was head of security? HUH?

When I witnessed the event during live news coverage, my natural intuition was the buildings were bought down with 'bombs.' There was no way they could have collapsed from the plane impacts and fire..... Where was footage of the 'plane' hitting the Pentagon? The most secure building in the USA.

No physics or engineering, strong science background.
I'd like to see an independent panel of scientists and engineers with subpoena power reopen the 9/11 investigation. There are too many poorly explained phenomenon, and truth is critical to healing. If we find out that there is more to the story about why the bin Laden's were so quickly removed from the country, and if detonation may have been involved in the collapse of the Towers, it will be messy and ugly, but we will be better off for looking at the truth.

WTC 7 definitely was brought down by controlled demolition. Look at the video when the construction worker carrying a bolt cutter said it was about to fall. Just yesterday they brought down the Champlain Towers with minimal prep time, falling in a precise footprint. NEWTONS LAW apparently does not apply!

Occupation: Construction Project Manager
I live and work in Wellington New Zealand, I am a registered building contractor, and project manager. I have 43 yrs in the construction trade. I have also designed and built many structures using wood and steel. See https://pinespan.co.nz/. I also have a background in design, so able to advise engineers and design experts on how to take simple & practical approaches to constructing structures. My vision is to design and build for a sustainable future for planet Earth.
I believe the NIST reports on both WT 1 & 2 have not been truthful, and should have looked for explosive evidence, which is obvious to any construction expert. I do not accept that any steel framed building can collapse at near free fall speed from a fire that lasted approx an hour or so. Also from a physics perspective, the 'law of conservation of momentum' was not observed. With both towers 1 & 2, the lower sections of the buildings were stronger in steel design, but the speed of the collapse did not slow. This would be the first 'smoking gun'. Also important was that Building 7 was falling at free fall speed for approximately 2 seconds, which cannot happen unless explosives are used. This is the 2nd 'smoking gun'. This shows the Govt used NIST to cover up the collapse, and try and explain it away as a natural organic event .Fires do not work to an orchestrated timetable either, as multiple witnesses describe a countdown. The building was cleared of people, except two, and then 'pulled', and fell into its own footprint, as planned.
