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 received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering in 1990 and have worked in the field of engineering for over 15 years. I also earned a secondary teaching credential and have taught math up to the high school level.
The few videos I have seen and interviews I have heard were taken with much skepticism. However there are many troubling questions that I feel the 911 commission did not answer. The most troubling to me is that the investigation was obviously not done in a completely objective and scientific way. Much evidence was neglected, and those on the panel most likely had prejudices to the findings.

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.

Most of my professional work has been in commercial and residential renovation. I am also licensed as a general contractor and not only design, but also build.
All three buildings collapsed in their own footprints, which is a highly unlikely event unless as a result of controlled demolition. The building's architect has stated that the structures were designed for airplane strikes. If one were to believe that the weight of the airplanes were responsible for the collapse, then they should come up with a scenario why the third, 42 story building also collapsed in it's own footprint without being struck by an airplane...and also why the old post office building across the street did not fall from the supposed ground shaking. Also, if one supposes the collapse was due to the airplane weight and complicity of the fire created by airplane fuel burning...do they really think it's possible to melt steel instantaneously at gravitational freefall rate? (Even if airplane fuel could burn hot enough to melt steel in the first place).

The official story is political not factual. Intuition alone says the official story about WTC 7, in particular, is simply not true. Falling structures that tall and massive do not free fall unless the elements of resistance (structural elements) have been strategically and violently removed.

1 to 38 story buildings in DC, MD, VA, FL. Involved in construction since 1968. Majority of buidings were Office & Hotel type. Worked with Controlled Demolition on 2 projects. We supplied the drawings for them to use for their demo layout.
I have witnessed & have seen many videos of building demolitions. I have investigated buildings toppled by wind. I have investigated a fire in the core of a high-rise hotel building and one in an open air garage. It is obvious to me that the 911 towers were demolished with explosives. The fire in the twin towers was like that of cars burning in an open garage building-the fire can not become hot enough to cause enough structural members to deform to the point of failure. Building number 7 collapsed just like any other controlled demolition I have witnessed. The buildings did not topple.

I have degrees in education and social work, nothing technical. I just read a lot. I am retired.
I have read many articles and books and seen many videos on the 911 disaster, and see no way that so many coincidences could have occurred at one time. Impossible that the collapse of building 7 could have been caused by the fall of the twin towers - it was clearly a demolition job falling straight into its own footprint. Then, instead of careful inspection of the steel beam infrastructure - it was immediately sent to China! And Cheney just happened to take charge of NORAD that day and sent the planes that should have been scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes off on training maneuvers elsewhere. And how come members of the Bin Laden family living here were scooped up and sent home instead of held for questioning. Just a few oddities off the top of my head.

I am educated as Mechanical Draftsman, I have been working for about 30 years in the field of metal constructions and mechanics as a profession and as recreational activity and I can say I have concrete knowledge and perception of physics.
Even for me that I did not examine closely the collapse of the three buildings I must say that it was actually hard to believe that an airplane could take them down as it is being said. I remember when I saw the collapses on TV that its could have not possibly been due to the airplanes alone but with additional factors. There are a lot of questions about these incidents that have not been answered, and the fact that these are still deliberately stay unanswered despite a certain pressure, unfortunately gives mistrust feelings. Therefore I recommend a new deep investigation in order to get all the questions satisfactorily answered.

I have no experience with the structure of tall buildings. My work was in building and remodeling residential houses. I say 'was' because I'm retired.
I can only express my opinion, which is not 'evidence', so I'll just say that as a builder, I think it is impossible that these buildings were brought down by airplanes, as if the fire quickly melted the steel infrastructure, causing a freefall into their footprint all the way to the bottom. Don't get me started on the 'office fires' that were supposed to have brought down Building 7. Ridiculous. If the American public is foolish enough to believe this colossal lie, and I don't think it is, then whoever did this can do anything they like from now on, and no one will question it.

With 2 physics classes in High School I am no physics expert. But with 2 physics classes in High School I am not completely ignorant either. I have read books such as Max Born's Einstein's Theory of Relativity and have taken basic ideas from physics and applied them in my work ion construction for roughly 20 years. I have built the core of large buildings. They do not just disappear.
The owner of the building, Leaseholder Larry Silverstein, stated on camera they pulled the building. Why is there still debate?

I believe, through hours of research, that the official story of what happened on 9/11 differs greatly from the realities. There are too many questions left unanswered. Beyond the building collapses, which in and of themselves is proof enough of the need for further investigation. What struck me the most were the Freudian Slips that were made on camera for the whole world to see by certain individuals from the last administration. It is imperative that we discover the truth. To do anything less is unacceptable.

I am a public speaker, comedian, and actor. Most importantly I am a concerned citizen. A Washington state transplant I am originally from upstate NY. 9/11 affected many people I knew through loss of family or friends; it affected everyone in some way.
To this day I hear news that the volunteers are suffering from respiratory complications and receive no help form the government. We've been given no answers to what has happened with Building 7 and painted as Un-American for even asking for answers. Well today we are using our right to redress of Government. I've never been more pleased with my fellow countrymen then when I see them fighting for truth. We need a serious and truly independent investigation of 9/11. Building seven is an integral part of this endeavor. It's almost a decade later without our voices being heard and this nation can no longer afford to ignore this issue.

I am a Canadian qualified accountant and a Certified Fraud Examiner. I have had public accounting and audit experience in the UK, Iran and Canada. I have lectured on fraud and financial controls to members of the Ontario Public Service and have carried out major investigations on behalf of the Ontario government.
It took me some two days to figure out that the 9/11 caper was a fraud purely based on instincts. I did not have any proof but came to the right conclusion purely on common sense. It just did not register that a multi billion dollar air defense system could NOT intercept the so called hijackers? This delay, plus the towers falling at free fall speed and above all the fact that 19 Arabs were immediately blamed sounded too convenient. This 9/11 caper is not only fraudulent but the biggest farce of the twenty first century. How can the American people be so gullible? Have they lost their power to think and rationalize events? The truth will come out one day. I just hope sooner than later and then watch what happens? Israel will pay a very heavy price for what it did to the American people on that day. I encourage everyone to watch the DVD Missing Links and judge for themselves. Furhad Yaqubain

After being laid off back in October of 2007, I unfortunately had too much time on my hands. I began researching 9/11, which then led to politics... and here we are in 2010 and I just cannot stop!
It astounds me that many other large buildings that have been engulfed with flames and burning for periods of time equal to or longer than our buildings... DIDN'T FALL INTO A FOOTPRINT OF THEIR OWN!
