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.

The games I've worked on use simulated or animated physics. There is something strange with the way Twin Towers fell. Mohammed Atta was searching for flying lessons at Santa Monica College before 1996. He had a translator, a very charismatic older gentlemen. I've never read or heard anything about this fact. Why do I know? Because I was the one that handled their applications. Why do I remember? Because Atta came off angry. The FBI came to the college to collect the applications. We sent them on their way because we did not provide jet lessons only prop.

The way building 7 collapsed (apparently in sympathy with the twin towers) raises huge questions about the official narrative. Reports of suppression of evidence for the earlier 9/11 commission as well as other evidence kept from the public from events decades earlier make it easy to question the official story.

It's strange that there are so many fundamental observations that can be made that prove, beyond a doubt, that the events of that day differ from the generally accepted causes. - - Seems it is more like a religious debate, or a political debate, and many people will take a side and not budge the slightest, even when presented simple observations or facts. For example, - 1. Rate of collapse of the buildings - 2. The projectiles that are projected perpendicular to the force of gravity - 3. The destruction of an entire building, below the impact point by a significantly SMALLER 'hammer' ie, the top part of the building - 4. The repeated observations by credible witnesses, ie the fireman, that observed many, many explosions - 5. In the videos of the destruction, anyone can see the significant emissions of material horizontally out from the building - - And on and on... You don't need a microscope to figure this one out.

WTC 7 was not struck by aircraft, was quite a distance from the falling towers, from photos and video did not seem damaged or extensively on fire yet collapsed in what appears to be a controlled, engineered, pre-planned demolition. This building is the only steel framed skyscraper to ever collapse from fire. A very through investigation should have been performed, instead all steel was controlled and recycled immediately, an act of criminal destruction of evidence. The twin towers collapse is also suspect. Eyewitnesses reporting explosions before the collapse. Also the damaged structure at and above the impact zone should not have been able to collapse the remaining undamaged structure, especially the massively strong central core. The core and outer walls supported the weight of the upper structure, it would have been able to resist the dynamic force of the upper structure falling. There can not be more energy generated dynamically from falling than is present in the potential energy from standing, height x gravity x mass. If the lower supporting structure had been able to support the upper floors for thirty years plus a commercial airliner impact, it would have resisted the dynamic energy because they are the same and the weight of the upper structure has been removed from the lower, that's the only way the upper can fall. Therefore in a non-controlled collapse the top section would have remained in place or fallen and broken into many small pieces and fallen off the sides of the remaining non damaged structure. If the floors had pancaked the central core would have remained standing. The only way the collapses can occur as they did is if the central core was destroyed by controlled explosions. The central cores were systematically blown and ripped down the rest of the buildings from the inside. Again all evidence was destroyed by remelting the steel. The event known as 911 was in my opinion a combination of an external government and some members of the US Fed government conspiring to produce a domestic terrorism event (false flag) to launch the global war on terrorism resulting in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the patriot act, the tapping of every piece of voice, e-mail, data communications in the world, Dept of homeland security, increase in oil prices and massive military / domestic police force spending all on the backs of the supposedly terrified US taxpayer. It is and will remain the single most important event in the history of this country.

Didn't seem right from the get-go. Spoke to an electrical engineer during an inspection on the morning of 11 Sep 2001. He had not yet heard that the two towers had collapsed, and couldn't believe, from the simple facts we knew at the time, that aircraft impacts could precipitate a collapse of the World Trade Towers. Soon the President announced names of the highjackers who had crashed the planes, and propagated the story of Al Qaeda as the terrorism perpetrators. Right, and a highjacker left a passport that survived the pulverization of the Towers! Too many plain tall tales and improbable explanations surround the circumstances of that day. Now we can begin to understand that, as Barry Zwicker's Towers of Deception book sketches out, the traumatic shock of the spectacular experience makes the mind need explanation, and the initial propaganda catapulted by Bush and the media that most people did accept as explanation even if tentatively, causes pain when contradicted by countering evidence. Statements of the A/E professionals here provide ample brief summary of that evidence.

I have worked on, as a project manager and project architect, convention centers, performing arts facilities, multi-use buildings, condominiums, resort properties, K-12 education and higher education facilities.
When I first witnessed the collapse of the world trade center buildings, during September 11, I could not believe this was the result of the airplane collisions, but as the media coverage continued and the story of the collapse was explained I somewhat accepted the explanation and continued on with my life without giving much more thought to the explanation. I saw the Blueprint for Truth on PBS and it revived my desire to review my thoughts on the events of 9/11. I started also doing additional research and readings into the events of September 11 and I am convinced a new investigation needs to be conducted to reveal the actual reason for the collapse of the buildings on September 11, 2001.

Within 24 hours of 9/11 I had an article in my in-box that told me that the FBI was being housed in a hotel, in advance of the incident; suspicions were aroused within 24 hours of the tragedy. Truth always arises, and there is absolutely nothing hidden that shall not some day come to the surface. Was this a political ploy? I've read much to support that it was something that was pre-arranged by the government. Do I believe it? I believe anything is possible and that with power, well sometimes greed takes over and we lose sight of why we ran for office in the first place. People in power really need to guard themselves; it's so easy to get caught up in the momentum, the power!

Do they think we are complete idiots? It is obvious that the buildings did not collapse because of the planes alone. And the third building certainly did not.

As I watched the events that day I was in utter shock at what I was seeing. It kind of struck me as odd that both towers fell in nearly the same manner, but when I saw the WTC 7 fall, coming straight down like an elevator going down into the ground, I knew immediately that that building had been rigged with some kind of charges. I've seen too many shows about imploding buildings and I once watched an implosion in person. One of those they showed on TV didn't go off correctly and when the building met with the resistance of those floors that were still there, it fell to the side and did not come straight down as planned. So even if a fire could have weakened the steel in a few areas, it would have been impossible for the whole building to come down in perfect symmetry as WTC 7 did. It doesn't take much to understand how strongly these steel buildings are made. If they can take a powerful, direct hit from a large passenger jet, as these did, they certainly aren't going to crumble into small, manageable pieces under their own weight. Or as WTC 7 did, fall into it's own perfect footprint, in the way a demolition expert strives for.

There is no validated explanation for the collapse of WTC 7. WTC1 and WTC 2 also are suspect due to the speed and manner of collapse. The concentrated jets of debris shooting out of windows 30 floors below the collapse front cannot be explained by the pressure wave hypothesis involving a progressive collapse. There is no real evidence linking Al-Qaeda to 9/11. The audiotapes from the cockpit have not been released. There has not been an adequate explanation as to why the planes were not intercepted. Something is being covered up and we want to know what it is.

I also was a student in McMaster University's Engineering Physics & Management program for 2.5 years and I have a fairly well developed understanding of Newtonian physics, among other sciences.
The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 all defy naturalistic explanations. No collapse in history that was driven by natural forces has ever produced the characteristics seen on 9/11. Their symmetry, speed and totality fly in the face of every explanation offered by any supposed authority. The discovery by Dr. Steven Jones of iron micro-spheres indicating the use of an incendiary device, as well as what appears to be unreacted thermite, is extremely valuable evidence that has gone completely ignored. The current explanation offered by NIST is both incomplete and internally inconsistent. To this day, nothing approaching a complete forensic investigation has ever been performed. The public deserves better.

Well what can I say. I'm only 26, and have no real experience in forensics or demolition. I only know what my eyes tell me. I am a Union painter and work in and around large buildings all the time.
I knew even as I watched the building fall that morning that they looked quite odd falling completely into themselves. Not too long before it happened I got to witness a building in downtown St. Louis be imploded. Lets just say deja vu was an adequate description of how I felt. An independent not-partisan, un-biased investigation is long overdue.

I am 36 and do not have any technical educational experience, only my intuition and my quest for knowledge. My parents were in DC on 9/11 and my boyfriend was almost on the plane that supposedly crashed in PA. My signing of this petition is to support the research needed to bring the truth about 9/11 to the forefront of society instead of the corners that no one wants us to go in.
It is so clear that it is scientifically impossible for the Towers to have gone down the way the media and the government said they did. I knew the very day it happened. Since then, having listened to, read and watched video footage, I feel even stronger that foul play took place and the truth needs to be made public knowledge instead of more lies and cover-ups.
