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 followed this sad event virtually from the beginning. Watching video of the collapse of those three buildings, it was obvious that aircraft hitting the upper region of WT-1 and WT-2 didn't cause them to collapse, especially when the collapse for one started more or less at the ground floor. The collapse of WT-7 later in the day was a pathetic joke. Like the 'in-house' murders of President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, perhaps the official white wash will be scrubbed away. As Roosevelt needed Pearl Harbor to get the American public supporting entry into WW II, the US needed a strong reason to get support for a pre-planned invasion of Iraq.

I have 40 years experience as an industrial engineer in the automotive industry. I have a BSIE from Purdue University 1973 and an MBA from University of Michigan 1985.
I am familiar with steel construction in large plant complexes and I have watched many controlled demolitions. I was convinced when I saw the buildings come down that the planes had nothing to do with the explosive destruction of the twin towers. I was absolutely convinced a few hours later when I watched Building 7 come down. I also heard Mr. Silverstein state that he was involved in the decision to 'pull' the building. That same afternoon I shared my thoughts with co-workers and was met with very cold responses. I decided to wait until the evidence started to show up. I praise AE911truth for standing for the truth and greatly appreciate the collection of solid evidence you have assimilated. It has been my pleasure and responsibility to spread your information to as many people who will listen. As a Christian I share this to try to help others understand the level of control that is present to pull off such a mass brainwashing of the American people and others throughout the world.

Arch., 3 years' experience in planning research faciilities in the US Public Health service, 3 years at Sasaki Associates, 30 years teaching architectural design and building systems at Florida A&M University, and a residential practice specializing in environmentally responsible design.
After watching the AE911Truth video and discussing it with colleagues, I am convinced there is credible evidence for re-opening the investigation of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 collapse. I believe the evidence points strongly in the direction of the use of explosive charges placed on key structural elements to bring the buildings down, and that the actual collapse was not due to the impact of the planes and the subsequent jet fuel fires.

It's so incredibly important that architectural and engineering professionals stand together to question the official story and request a real investigation of the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7. - - - - It is in the memory of my dear friend, Frank DeMartini, who was killed on 9/11 helping others gt out of the buildings, that I hope and pray that some day, soon, the truth will be uncovered and those responsible will be brought to justice.

The circumstances regarding the insurance policy taken for Bldg. 7, the statements made on record by emergency personel, reporters, and the owner of that bldg. all point to a pre-planned demo. Obviously the way it failed without being impacted pretty much proves that explosives were used. Unfortunately, in light of our foriegn policy towards the middle east and the Homeland Security Act following 9/11, which is really a way for the government to control US citizens, indicates that this was an inside job - false flag event. God help us all.

The evidence is simply overwhelming and conclusive that the three buildings were destroyed by various forms of advanced explosives. One MUST reconcile physical laws with what we observed on 9/11. The predominant barriers to understanding and accepting the truth are psychological, aided by the corrupt nature of the media in service of private power.

I am not an architect nor an engineer, but a professional in the legal field, a law clerk. I am simply interested in seeing truth surface.
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.

I now loathe the current administration and policy of the US.
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 am a 26 year old accountant currently working for Deloitte & Touche LLP and going through the necessary courses towards obtaining a Chartered Accountant designation. I have 2.5 years in the public accounting sector providing assurance and advisory services to medium and large privately and publicly traded corporations. 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.
