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 retired nuclear power engineer. I spent almost 30 years in various engineering, operations and training areas within a nuclear power plant.
As a Canadian I must admit that I fear the U.S. (and its allies) and their agendas more than I fear terrorists. I don't believe governments or special power groups are smart enough to pull off a 9/11 event without disclosure and leaks - but something terrible is a amiss. If you look at the major decisions coming out of your Obama administration, many of them defy logic and seem incredibly suicidal almost. There is a sinister agenda being executed and we must expose it.

This includes new construction, additions, and remodeling. I do everything from initial preliminary design to construction documents and general contracting. Most projects range from $50k to $2,000,000.
On 9/11/2001 I was watching television coverage of the plane strikes and the resulting collapse (by controlled demolition) of all three WTC towers. I was struck with the unusual sudden collapse of WTC 7. I was also perplexed about anomalies concerning the Pentagon strike and the alleged hijacking and crash in Shanksville, PA. Since then I have viewed extensively 9/11 videos and am convinced of a multilayered conspiracy.

I was formally trained by the government in aerospace technology: airframe structures, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems and the materials and methods for repairing and replenishing these systems. I was also trained and refreshed annually in aircraft firefighting. I was involved in aircraft accident recovery efforts and reconstruction. I worked as an aircraft corrosion specialist dealing with composition and subsequent treatment of metal alloys and their deterioration properties. This included metals subjected to many different stresses such as heat, vibration, acids, salts, biological attacks, and deterioration due to improper alloying.
Based on my past experience with aircraft fuel fires and their documented effect on metal structures, I simply cannot accept the official version of what happened to the three buildings that fell on 9/11. Given the temperature at which jet fuel burns, and the quantity involved in this particular incident, I believe it is patently impossible for it to heat a steel structure of the kind found in WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 to the point of catastrophic, free-fall collapse such as was exhibited by all three of these buildings on that day. I have personally witnessed mild-steel structures subjected to repeated applications of burning jet fuel over the course of days and weeks with no significant damage resulting to these much weaker structures. There is simply no logical reason to accept the NIST evaluation of the fuel fires on 9/11.

Some academic and professional experience with structural analysis and finite element analysis. Professional: Experience in the Oil and Gas industry. Currently serving as a project coordinator for a natural gas compressor packager company. Personal: I am a follower of Jesus Christ.
From and engineering standpoint, I believe the most powerful evidences against the official theory are as follows: 1) Molten and glowing steel under all 3 piles of rubble found months later. This would be impossible if the only thing burning were smothered remnants of office supplies and remnants of jet fuel which mostly burned off in the first few minutes. Temperatures of combustion of such an oxygen starved fuel could not even make steel glow. 2) The inability of the remnants of jet fuel and office supplies to provide sufficient heat to significantly weaken key structural members evenly to the point of failure. 3) The towers falling at near the acceleration of gravity into their own footprint. Even if the impacted floors somehow gave way due solely to fire, they certainly would not give way at the same time all around the structure. One side would have been weaker than another causing that side to fail first causing the upper structure to tip over imparting rotational momentum to the upper structure and shifting the CG away from the stronger side and onto the weaker side causing the weaker side to collapse faster... and so on until the tops of the buildings toppled over. There is no way an uncontrolled demolition would be so neat as these were. The mass and structure below the failure point would have absorbed enormous energy and momentum slowing the fall to significantly less than the acceleration of gravity. 4) Building 7 sustained minimal damage with only a few cool fires and its collapse has yet to be explained officially. 5) The many vertical structural members would have no cause to buckle and shear off at 45 degree angles. If the floors were to pancake as supposed, they would have had to shear off of the vertical supports leaving hundreds of feet of beams sticking up in the air. ...and I could go on...

Major holes in the official story: - - - - 1) Building collapse geometry and timing (Straight down near free fall speed. - - 2) WTC 7 collapse impossible within any conceivable natural disaster scenario. - - 3) Nano-Thermite - - 4) Imbeciles supposedly have the ability to flawlessly fly jet aircraft directly to their targets. - - - - My opinion is that the 9/11 investigators don't even believe their own report - otherwise why has their been NO call for a revision to the structural building codes? Supposedly there had been a major structural steel frame building collapse at near free fall speed due to very minor structural damage and fire only (WTC 7). If that was actually the case then at the very least the structural building codes should be reviewed and revised as needed. And then with that new code in hand every steel-frame high-rise building in the country should be evaluated with probably most of them requiring retrofitting and redesign. Do you see any of this activity? Wouldn't that be the responsible action to take if WTC 7 and the other buildings had actually failed as the official government story? - - - - The buildings were brought down - that's not a conspiracy theory, that's a fact.

I have been involved in community activism for much of my life - more on the local level until September 11th 2001 when my attention sharply turned to national issues. I knew our government was involved from the moment the second plane hit and have been working to educate myself and others on what really occurred that day. I have great respect for all those who have worked so hard to get the truth out and for accountability for those responsible.
Since the moment the second plane hit the World Trade Center which I saw in real time and I have been educating myself and others about the lies and cover-up. There is no way skyscrapers could collapse the way we saw in just a few seconds without assist and what is fascinating is that people still have no idea that building 7 even collapsed - a building that was not hit by a plane, had limited fires and collapsed in its own footprint in a few seconds. Come on!!!! Seeing Larry Silverstein, the holder of the lease for the World Trade Center buildings, say on TV that they decided to pull building 7 that day and knowing that it takes 2-3 weeks minimum to prepare a 47-story building for demolition didn't make any sense and was a real red flag. Also, the BBC announcing the collapse a half hour before building 7 fell was interesting to say the least. Every word out of the Bush Crime Family has been a lie why would anyone in their right mind think they were telling the truth about this one event that they needed (a catastrophic event) to get their illegal wars started.

I have been in the building trades (electrician) my entire working lifetime, as a maintenance and an industrial electrician.
I find it very hard to believe that the twin towers could have collapsed in a perfectly symmetrical manner, just from the impact and resulting fires from jet aircraft hitting them. Also, I do not understand how WTC Building #7 collapsed, as it had not sustained a direct hit by anything.

I believe that the 9/11 WTC building collapses were a controlled demolition and that it is being covered up by our government and media. This is an outrage and I demand to know the truth. Every person that has participated in this cover up should be charged with a serious crime. This heinous act cannot go unpunished.

I loved the twin towers since I can remember. Could remember 9 11th when I did not go to work but to the doc because of sickness. After coming home I switched on the tv like always on CNN and then the TV runs the whole week switching through all the programs to get information. I could not believe the official theory and I think that it is very important to bring the whole truth out ! BLUEPRINT FOR TRUTH = Great !!!

Immediately after the events of 9/11 I could see that the story that the public was given just did not add up to what I witnessed. I mean it was strange that the nation stood idle while the planes were hijacked for hours. Then as I learned more of the details of the event I grew more suspicious. How could the WTC-1 and 2 towers fall so quickly? I had heard Mayor Giuliani on the news on 9/11 stating that they would bring down the Solomon Building (WTC-7), I assumed that it would happen weeks or months later. I was shocked when I learned later that the building fell that day. I was aware that it required weeks, or months, to carry out such an operation.

After viewing the collapse of the twin towers and building #7 with a critical eye, it is so very obvious these buildings were demolished with controlled explosives. It is physically impossible for these buildings to collapses as they did because of fire or collision with an airplane.

I think it is so transparent, the lies covering up what really happened that day. Clearly nothing other than an organized explosion could bring down such buildings. It is time the world see's this and we all get on board and do what we can to get the truth out there. Even if the general public are afraid. We shall never give up on this.

I don't believe that the towers fell due to fire. I therefore would like to know what really caused them to fall, since the official story doesn't agree with architectural expertise.
