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.

On 9/11, I was just starting 7th grade, throughout the day students were leaving class to go home, they were being picked up by their parents. The students in middle school, such as myself, had not been told of what happened, they only told the high school students for some reason. When I got home my father surprised me because he was home early. As I walked into the house I saw him watching CNN. They were just showing the video of the collapse and the towers burning earlier that day. He told me that the Department of National Defense, which he worked for, had sent everyone home after the second plane hit. My initial reaction after seeing the footage of the Twin Towers collapsing was: It looks like a controlled demolition. My father went on to tell me that Arab extremists had attacked the building by flying hijacked planes into it and that the impact of the planes had caused the buildings to collapse. I repeated again But it looks like a controlled demolition. Of course at the time I was only 12 years old and did not realize the implications of it being a controlled demolition. After watching the TV footage CNN had on replay, I later asked him Why would anybody attack a building full of innocent people. It doesn't make sense. He replied: Well that's Muslim extremists for you, they're just crazy. It just didn't make sense to me. That is all I really remember from my experience on the day of September 11th 2001.

It is absolutely clear that the government LIED about their involvement in the demolition of the twin towers, and Building 7. - - It is obvious that this was done to make trillions of dollars for the Industrial Military Complex, and to create an environment of fear enabling the government to increase control of many of our precious rights and freedoms. It is high time these criminal conspirators were brought to justice, so that our nation can heal, and we can begin to restore our stolen freedoms and liberties.

I've studied High school in IT and electrotechnics 1985-1989. Masters and PhDr. study 1992-2001 in psychology, my thesis was titled Terrorism: historic-psychological study.
I'm convinced there are multiple indications that the buildings were deliberately brought down in engineered destruction. In my opinion the towers were brought down by removal of the core structure using mainly the nonconventional cutting charges consistent with the properties and the relative amount of the remains and residues of the nanothermite material discovered by Harrit et al. in the dust samples. I believe the whole installation of the charges, if well planned in advance, could be made by a team of ~10 people in each of the towers during one extended working shift. In the case of WTC7 I believe the David Chandler's analysis strongly implies the onset of the destruction was made by explosive removal of at least several whole lower floors and the rest of the destruction was gravity/momentum driven as in the cases of conventional controlled demolitions.

After seeing the video of Building 7, I began investigating further. The more I looked, the more the government's story looked thin on details and engineering science. The rapid symmetrical collapse of all three buildings, particularly WTC 7, is implausible considering conservation of momentum. The South Tower's top portion beginning to rotate away from the center, and then disintegrating, seems highly suspicious considering the inner-core matrix and hat truss structural integrity in a portion of the building not impacted by a plane. The immense pulverization of the concrete seems completely unlikely under a purely gravitational collapse. The presence of spherical, iron rich media, interspersed in the dust, molten metal in the basements, and sulfidation of the areas where the beams were cut, is highly suspicious considering it was only a jet fuel fire.

I am no expert on structural engineering or architecture, I just have common sense.
I firmly believe that the World Trade Center was brought down with explosives. I have seen no credible proof to back the official theory of the collapse. Steel and concrete buildings can't be destroyed by fire, we either have to acknowledge that the official story is wrong or condemn every steel and concrete building in the world as hazardous.

I have serious concerns about how the building fell. How the buildings were engineered hermetically sealed--air tight. read numerous accounts from eyewitnesses on the scene,on how the basement was blown,slurry wall construction,concepts. Hijackers trained on us military bases. An obvious engineered event to keep the sheep in line.

The evidence is clearly there to corroborate what we all saw as explosions, not fires on that fateful day. It is reassuring to have that validation, while greatly disturbing to realize the enormity of the struggle before us to convince our nation the official story is a charade.

In all my years of heavy construction and close relations with architects and engineers, I have learned that designers use ratios and calculations to their advantages in the designing and construction of buildings. This is always in their interest do to the consequences involved with a building failure. This is why architects and engineers use ratios in designing building systems so they can prepare for various forces that could cause building or system failures. i.e. - Elevators weight capacity may be designed with a 5:1 ratio, thus 2500 lb cap. = 12,500 lbs. Buildings can be designed to perform under the specified criteria with out compromise. Thanks, Jared
After I reviewed the building blueprints and watched the videos of the Tower collapses, I could clearly see that the build performed exactly as it should have done and the signs of additional forces like controlled demolitions were evident and conclusive. The official government story will not hold water and a new investigation must be conducted.

I had been skeptical and outspoken as to the possibilities of foul play regarding the fall of the towers and WTC7, due to the nature of their disintegration. I guess up until last year I would classify myself in the our govt. let it happen group of disbelievers. Loose Change and Dr. Steven Jones' work changed all that, and sent me back to the streets in protest, where I spent a great deal of time back in the Nam era.
It is imperative that the world understand the truth of these collapses and the significance of the shock and awe campaign, stateside and worldwide, as a pretext for war in the Mid-East.

I grew up around structural steel building sites. I have seen first hand what it takes to build a steel structure and what it takes to remove one. We have not been told the truth.
Steel fails at free-fall speed at well above 4000 degrees Fahrenheit. Jet fuel and air burns at less that half that given temperature. As an equation, this just does not add up.

When a friend approached me with information about the collapse of world trade center building 7 I thought he had lost his mind; however, I respected him enough to listen to him and do some independent critical review of old news clips that the press has not shown us since 9-11. WTC-7 was obviously imploded. There is no reasonable explanation (including presence of the power plant and diesel fuel tank) for simultaneous failure of EVERY support beam (including all 4 corners) within this huge structure. The roof hits the ground at near freefall speed. The building comes down perfectly (the corners are arrow straight as the supports are removed, allowing the building to free fall into its own footprint). The 9-11 Commission completely ignores this catastrophic collapse, and the corporate press has never questioned the obvious demolition of this 47-story skyscraper. The general population has been conditioned to consider all critical thinkers lunatics. Also, the fact that NIST terminated their investigation at the point of INITIATION of collapse for both towers is unknown to most citizens. The fact that the building 7 investigation was still not complete by 2008 is unknown to most citizens. There are hundreds of unanswered and valid questions surrounding 9-11, and we should demand complete and unbiased scientific investigation

Even a non-technical person can see that the buildings collapsed too evenly, quickly and completely to be caused by gravity alone.
