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 am a Licensed Professional Engineer in Mechanical Engineering. I worked for 16 years for Stone & Webster Engineering on both Nuclear and Petrochemical plants worldwide with heavy experience in stress analysis.
Though attacked at substantially different elevations, both towers' collapse mode and debris footprint were almost identical to each other. Statistically this defies belief except in the case of a professionally engineered demolition. The collapse of Building 7 defies any belief at all, and should never have happened at all without outside interference. There is no point in listing the many other technical reasons that cause me to sign this petition, since the internet is full of reports on valid inconsistencies or omissions in the 9-11 commission report.

There are definite questions from a physics aspect and of certain elements that should be questioned. True investigation, like design, should not count out any possibilities and claims should be refuted by scientific fact. There are many claims in the NIST report that do not add up and should be evaluated. Even the 'debunking' released by Popular Mechanics have weak explanations that are not based on evidence of photos, scientific study, 3D modeling and so forth. For example, a building designed to withstand horizontal force and fires for hours leading to a complete collapse does not add up. These 3 buildings would be the first buildings in history to ever completely collapse to rubble from a multi-story fire. If this is the case, then NFPA and all other fire-protecting standards would need to be greatly revised to even allow for any new high-rise construction or else we are all performing malpractice.

These buildings were designed to withstand the impact of heavy aircraft like the planes that hit them. No steel framed building has ever suffered complete collapse, even from fires that burned much longer and hotter than at the WTC. I believe the modelling of the structural elements and failure mechanisms as done for NIST contains unrealistic loading factors and only through those factors are NIST able to show a total collapse happening.

In my up times I have worked for Cowboy Jack Clement, the legendary producer of Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Waylon Jennings, and way too many to mention. I've played lots of gigs, had songs published and recorded, but never really had the big hit. YET!!!
I grew up in Maryland, and a few of my old friends work for Controlled Demolition, which is based out of Phoenix, Maryland. I had even been to Mark Loizeaux's house, and had worked on television commercials with his cousin, a cameraman. Since my friends worked for them, I had watched a few shows about controlled demolition on the Discovery channel so I could see David, Jimmy, etc. On the morning of 9/11 my girlfriend called me and told me to turn on the television. It was after the first jet, but before the second one. One thing I DISTINCTLY remember is that they said a MISSILE had hit the Pentagon. From watching the Discovery shows, I had become familiar with the expression, into it's own footprint. I don't need to tell you the rest!!! Naive as I (and many of us were) was, I thought that somehow those Muslims must REALLY be smart, because they figured just how to hit them to make them collapse. I NEVER DREAMED that there were people diabolical enough to do what was done. I have GROWN UP since then.

It's difficult to imagine that all 3 towers were able to collapse in the manner that they did with localized fire. Witness statements, video and other relevant facts present are truths and data that need to be interpreted with objectivity and without influence or pressure from government agencies.

Engineering graduate ... (+ 2 years in civil Engineering) Moved in to the oil business and work world wide now in Positions of operational responsibility.
I have 3 problems with the official version of 911: 1- Speed by which the buildings came down. No credible expert has been able to justify that ... through scientific means. 2 - Building 7 was undeniably brought down voluntarily. In addition to the video evidence there are some reports of people admitting to this. It is also undeniable that some CIA agencies were based in that building. The fact that the official investigation report identifies a fire as the sole cause of collapse is the most convincing proof of a cover up. 3 - My last point is less related to Engineering evidence: Video footage of G . W. Bush's reaction to learning the news while in a children's school (source: Farenheit 911, if confirmed). He didn't move for 8 minutes when it was clear this was a major attack on the American Nation. I personally am responsible for the safety of 185 people in my present profession (manager of major petroleum field) When I hear of a safety critical situation... I immediately take action to lead the crisis situation. Clearly anyone in a position of reponsibility where lives are at stake is expected, and trained, to react like that.

Retired. Work on F4D, A3D, DC-10, T-45, and F-20, in flight tests and flutter models developing instrumentation systems and some instruments. Developed instrumentation tape recorders both ground stations and high environment types for aircraft and missiles. Was a problem solver and project engineer from the beginning as a technician before finishing my degree, and through out my career.
As I watched the TV of the planes hitting and the collapse of the towers and Bldg 7, I said to my wife, They were imploded. To me it was obvious that was the case, because they came down in their own footprint. Later when they cleared the site before forensic evidence could be collected and examined, as was done in Oklahoma City, I became certain that it was setup. My theory is that after the first attempt on the towers, the powers-to-be managed the installation of the charges, how I didn't know, but then they waited for the Muslims to strike again; using it as an excuse for the war and Patriot Act.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in biomedical engineering, and have worked for years in the biotech industry with nano/micro scale materials. I am reasonably familiar with various characterization techniques used in imaging (SEM, TEM, AFM) and chemical/solid state analysis (DSC, XEDS, etc.).
The video evidence suggesting controlled demolition is very persuasive. Further, I am a biomedical engineer with familiarity with the characterization techniques used in documenting the existence of nanothermite. Although the video analysis is persuasive, I think more independent studies of the tangible forensic evidence would be very helpful to the cause.

Does anyone really know what happened? Really? No! But the official story is not credible and leaves many things unexplained and that call into question it's veracity. It's a travesty that based on the official fairy tale that we've chosen to spend trillions of dollars on endless wars that have cost thousands and thousands and thousands of people their lives. We should demand that we get it right. Then take the appropriate action based on what actually happened.

Occupation: Industrial Design
I have a Master's degree in Industrial Design, and three years of architectural studies at the bachelor's level.
I saw with my own eyes, and photographed, the WTC collapse from a Brooklyn balcony. From what I witnessed on 9/11 and the images recorded on tape available from several sources, I can reasonably conclude that the planes that crashed into the towers were NOT the cause of their collapse. There is too much doubt about the official story published in the media for a thorough, neutral investigation not to take place. Until our country is willing to question its leaders and openly challenge their statements we will not be free. We demand an investigation about the toppling of the WTC immediately.

From the evidence of video footage my hypothesis is that the WTC building were destroyed by controlled demolition. Building 7 was an excellent example of a free falling controlled demolition of a typical large building. Fires do not cause this type of symmetrical reduction in size within it's own foot print. All other explanations are simply illogical. Control demolition is my firm hypothesis from pure scientific observation. Further analysis of the facts is mandatory for development of the truth.

I started off by doing an associate Bachelors in Business Administration. Than I did hospitality management and earned a Higher diploma in this field. Working in Hospitality field I realized that this was not the field for me and I did a total Career change, I went back to college and did a Bachelors in Design in textile design and than now I have my own pottery studio and working as a full time potter.
I am no expert but this was an inside job. I am not an American citizen, I am a Pakistani and live in Pakistan and we have suffered on all levels due to 9/11. We have lost over 70,000 lives serving the United States of American in their war against terror and up to today we are suffering.
