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 over three years internship experience at the Air Force Research Laboratory, with 1.5 years of direct metallurgical experience.
From my expertise in metallurgy as a materials engineer, the temperature reached by the WTC fires was not hot enough to alter the microstructure of the steel, let alone cause weakening.

Could not believe how those Towers could come down SO FAST. I figure some (prework) was done pre-planning as you may. The Question is who or what was the nature behind it all???

I had 4 years of school at Oklahoma Christian University, a private ABET accredited university in Oklahoma. I graduated with a B.S.E.E. I worked for Boeing for 2 years and studied electrogmagnetic effects onboard military aircraft. My experience has taught to me understand how cell phone communication between aircraft and ground antennae would be impossible on 9/11 inside a commercial airliner.I have now worked for Siemens Postal Parcel and Airport Logistics for 1 year as a systems design engineer for conveyor systems and logistics products.
There is no other rational explanation other than a controlled demolition. Even someone without a degree could see that the pattern is completely consistent with a controlled demo and that there is no excuse for an entire skyscraper to fall at nearly free fall speed with zero resistance below it. Additionally there is no evidence presented to explain how the top sections of 1 and 2 were vaporized into dust within seconds of collapse. Clear evidence of squibs from every camera angle far below the point of impact. Complete impossibility of cell phone calls being made at such altitudes and speeds as claimed. Far exceeds the capabilities of 2001 technology much less the technology of cell phones today.

In addition to studying Mechanical Engineering as an undergraduate at Boise State University, I also held several officer positions within student-professional organizations including Society for Women Engineers, American Society for Mechanical Engineers and the Materials Research Society. I received my B.S.M.E. on May 15, 2004. I received my Engineer-in-Training certification on December 21, 2006.
"The morning of September 11, 2001, I watched the second tower fall live on television as I prepared to leave my home and get to my junior level engineering classes. My father and I watched building after building fall that morning and each time, we echoed each others' reactions. We both said incredulously ""that looks planned, like those skyscraper demolitions."" Then my father asked me if, from an engineering perspective, if it looked normal. I explained that I was hardly an expert at structural engineering but from what I had already learned, it seemed unlikely that those building would fall completely down. I could have believed that the parts of each building above the impact point would shear off of the structure, but for the entire building to implode was, even on that hectic morning, far too much to swallow."

I served as the Director of the Office for Social Justice, Diocese of Pueblo. I'm currently a Social Responsibility Minister, Church of the Epiphany, Louisville, KY
I believe all the official stories about what happened on 9/11, particularly with regard to the collapse of the three buildings, are patently false, evidenced by application of the facts. I am appalled that the all the metal beams and other locations of metal, including molten metal, did not go through thorough metallurgical testing and failure analysis. Plane crashes and other accidents or failure events receive full analysis, with no stone left unturned. Here we have the largest metallurgical disaster/attack in our nation's history and the analysis and investigation has been woefully inept. We may never know fully what happened because much of the evidence was destroyed rather quickly after the event. With what I do know, it appears as if these buildings collapsed with the assistance of timed demolition. A thorough independent official investigation has not happened yet and must happen in order to glean as much truth about this major event as possible. The integrity of our nation depends upon this and the responsibility to our nation's citizens demands it.

About the Twin Towers : no minor (and weaker) part of a structure is able to destroy the rest of it, whatever the speed with which they encounter. And WTC7 : among other strange hypothesis, to assign the fire protection class 1-C instead of 1-B is quite a help in getting 'overheated' floor beams.

I have been studying and trying to educate for about 5yrs. I am a certified structural welder and have been working with steel for about 10yrs. I have also been involved with several concrete and steel structures.
I am not a scientist, but I like to think that I know steel. I don't believe for a minute that a kerosene based fuel is going to weaken any of the WTC buildings. I also know that an aluminum, steel and titanium plane is not going to incinerate in the Pentagon. I believe we have been lied to in order to cover up the fact that our government either executed these attacks or let them happen.

As a concerned citizen I simply cannot believe the official explanations about the collapses. It has never happened before in the entire world that steel framed buildings have collapsed due to fire. It makes no sense that 3 buildings fell at free fall speed and dropped into their own footprint on the same day. It would be to a terrorist advantage if the buildings had came down sideways as the damage would have been much greater.

We must accept, as fact, that the 911 and anthrax attacks were perpetrated by elements within our own government to generate a climate of terror; within which a global corporatocracy, using shock and awe capitalism and pre-emptive war could attack and undermine the sovereignty of nations, the international rule of law and the human rights of man, and erect a global police state structure to take its place, with the purpose of preserving this new planet-wide oligarchic structure.

I have studied everything I can about 911. I am absolutely certain that building 7 was demolished. I have tried to share this with my closest friends and without exception they don't want to know. I have drawn them diagrams, shown them videos of the collapse and asked them to argue with me if they disagree with what I am suggesting. They simply switch off and change the subject. It's gonna be a long hard road and I'm going to keep staggering down it until the World gets some JUSTICE.

Fire has never brought down steel framed buildings, there's no reason why that should have changed on only one day. I believe Congress has a duty to look into the questions that continue to be unanswered like how our military let four planes fly around when they were knowingly hijacked.

It is indeed frustrating to anyone who examines the scientific facts re: 9/11 destruction of Twin Towers and Bldg 7, to witness the stonewalling by our politicians, office holders, including President Obama, all of whom have turned a blind eye to the evidence of foul play that goes far beyond the 'official' conspiracy theory. The psyche of the American nation has been deeply wounded by the official shroud placed over the crimes associated with the 9/11 disaster. Of course, the immediate sequence to 9/11 is our 14 years of unending warfare in the ME resulting in the loss of well over a million lives, widespread destruction, political and social upheaval,and an increase in the radicalization of peoples leading to the increase in the terrorism we witness today. America will never be at peace until all the known facts concerning 9/11 are disclosed.

Nowadays there are a lot of opinions in the Internet showing that the official version cannot be correct: - in 2001 it was impossible to communicate with mobiles from high-speed aircraft (so, the recordings of mobile talks between the passengers and their relatives are fake) - the way how WTC collapsed looks like controlled demolition, - lots and lots of other evidence.

When I was growing up, my parents held me accountable and they instilled that quality into my character. My parents also taught me to be patriotic, loyal, and believe in our democratic U.S. government because it is accountable and exists for the benefit of society in this country. I was a 3.8 GPA student; graduated from high school in 3 years; didn't finish college; studied piano and cello at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for 5 years; worked as a paralegal in Colorado, Nevada, Louisiana, and California. I worked as administrative assistant to a high school district superintendent for more than 23 years. I have been breeding and raising Lipizzaner horses for 24 years, which has given me experience and familiarity with: biology; disease prevention and immunization issues; fetal development & birthing; medical diagnostic equipment & surgical interventions; , emergency response to trauma; genetics; use of leverage to manipulate objects ten times one's own size; identification of safe zones and predicted most likely next events. I was widowed when my two children were very young, and raised them alone. They grew up to be fine citizens with college degrees and professional careers, and they are loving, responsible parents.
I have grave concerns that the truth about the WTC collapse is not known to the people of the United States. I just recently became aware of the obvious discrepancies and have done extensive research. Maybe it is my deep patriotic loyalty that made me blind for the past 8 years to this unbelievable lack of accountability on the part of our elected representatives to seek and make known the absolute truth. This patriotic blindness may also be true for many millions of Americans and perhaps our elected officials in Washington.

Homeschooling mother, patriot and truth seeker. Found out the real reason for the 9-11 attacks after finding out about Ron Paul, I jumped right down the proverbial rabbit hole!
The day it happened, I remember explicitly wondering why they were taking down the buildings. I thought since the damage was mostly at the top of the building, the buildings could have been saved. I had no idea at that time that the lobbies had been blown out. My husband and I have watched over 30 documentaries on 9-11. To me, there is no question they were a controlled demolition.

The controlled demolition was evident from the very first collapse. Anyone with even a small amount of knowledge of jet fuel, knew that could not have possibly caused all the outward explosions of steel beams and pulverized concrete that we saw and heard that morning. This is the greatest deception of our lifetimes. It is time to DEMAND the truth.
