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 been a hospital plant engineer and HVAC service engineer for 31 years.
The day the Twin Towers collapsed, I wondered why New York City Port Authority decided to demolish the World Trade Center just after selling it too Larry Silverstein. I e-mailed that question around to many on-line contacts and was alarmed to learn it was due to a terrorist attack. The reason I didn't know about the attack the hour it happened was due to a hard disk failure. When I had the spare hard disk changed out, I was amazed to see the smoking ruins falling in free fall. I had studied these buildings from their first construction days and full well knew they were built up on a central core. From that core, the floors depended. It was impossible for me to believe jet fuel, which burns at 1200F could have caused the floors to pancake down. From my study of buildings in general over the years of my plant engineering career, I knew if the pancake theory held any validity, the core should have still stood and due to the absorption of kinetic gravity, the collapse would have stopped at some point in the collapse. I speculated from very crude calculations that the fall point should have run out of energy at the 55 floor. But even that was a fantastic leap to fantasy and I well knew it. From that first day to the present, I am convinced the Twin Tower World Trade Center was imploded with well placed charges as in controlled demolition.

I have a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

After obtaining my bachelors in civil engineering from the University of Minnesota, I spent 3 years working as a land surveyor in the greater Chicago area. I have worked as a civil engineer in site development for over 20 years. I have an MBA and work as a supervising engineer responsible for civil engineering (grading, drainage, walls, roads, etc.) of new substations for a large public utility.
I have always wondered why the towers didn't topple over at the weakened points where the planes hit them, if they were going to fall at all. If the planes and fires had actually caused the collapse, the buildings would have toppled over, not fallen symmetrically straight down at free fall acceleration.

Truth hurts, but heals faster. From day one I believed that these buildings was destroyed by controlled demolition techniques. If you don't know about how buildings are demolished, just look at all three buildings' collapse pattern. They collapsed the same way. What a coincidence? Different type of structures, designed by different architects and engineers, behaving the same way, and falling down as a free fall. We need the truth.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Architecture.
I cannot understand how a layman would believe the narrative of fire bringing down an entire steel structure in the manner that the 3 towers fell on 9/11. Anyone who has ever witness a fire of any scale would realize that it burns asymmetric and causes unpredictable and imbalanced collapses. The absolute vertical collapse of even one tower due to an asymmetric fire is a near improbability. Three towers on the same day, one with minimal fire damage is a mathematical impossibility...unless it were intentional.

I am a New Yorker living in North Carolina. I was driving through the City the day before the tragedy. I am not satisfied with the current explanation of events of that day.
The building collapses have not been explained to my satisfaction. Furthermore, building 7 is NEVER addressed. Why? Could it be there IS NO explanation that any normal, thinking person can accept as factual? Building 7 is ripe for investigation, yet none is launched. Why?

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 20 years experience. I have always been very mechanically inclined. My father was an Mechanical Engineer. My brother is an engineer. (Both with more education though)
I have read as much as I could stand of the FEMA and NIST reports on the collapse of building one and two. Basically I can believe that there is no way that these buildings would have fallen by any other way than demolition. I just want to put it all together to show other people who are in Engineering. ( and friends) 1. One fact I state to people are the speeds at which the buildings fell. All of the structure under the initial start of collapse would have to be removed to achieve almost free fall speeds. 2. The other thing I like to mention is the fact that every structural joint at each floor would have to fail at the same time to fall so straight and fast. I show people that there are 68 joints per floor, not including beams that connect from an inner or outer column on one side and to another beam on the other. Only because once the beam that is connected to both an inner and outer column fails, the beams attached to it will lose their connection. I try to tell them that you would need a consistent fire temperature on the entire floor to have a consistent failure. I do not beleive this is possible unless you have the structure in a oven. 3. The temperatures of the fires are a huge part of being able to show people there is something wrong with the official story. Very conveniently NIST states that the temperatures of the fires were 1100 degrees F. I looked up the basic strength of structural steel in just the Machinery Handbook. It shows funny enough that the steel strengthens up to 400 degrees F. Still stronger than 100 % at approx. 500-600 degrees F. It has only a 20-30 % strength at 1100 degrees F. (no fire proofing) If it actually reached that temperature (1100 deg) there may be sagging. But consistently? With only 20-30 % strength I believe the structures could sag. I do not believe that temperature was achieved. What temperature does jet fuel burn at? I heard around 500 degrees F. If a jet fuel fire was fanned by air? Is there a website that would show this? The fire would dissipate quickly as throwing a match into gasoline. I figure the only thing burning after the dissipation of the jet fuel would be the office furniture fuel. I am thinking that all that furniture is more flame retardant in a high rise building.

I am a 40 year old, recently remarried homemaker and mother of 2 older teenagers. I have been a homemaker for the better part of the past 20 years. I graduated high school in Bogota, NJ in 1985. My interests involve learning all that I can about the truths behind recent events in our American history, as well as learning about natural health & wellness. It is my goal to help others to see the truths that lie before them. The truth is out there, if you just open your eyes and look.
After the truth has been revealed to me, there is no doubt in my mind that these buildings were brought down in the manner described by those affiliated with AE911Truth.com and several other related to uncovering the truths about that fateful day.

College student in Chicago. I was shown a 2 hour film my senior year of high school entitled The Great Illusion that changed the way I view this country, the people who run it and those of us whom falsely believe that we are free...after viewing the number of documentaries on the subject, my only conclusion is that our government has deceived us, has been deceiving us, and has an unfathomable amount of power over us due to this fact...mutual fear brings peace!
I cannot believe that more people haven't been vocal about this from the beginning.

When I first saw the buildings come down something just didn't add up. It's almost as if it was planned that the buildings were to come down. On the news you could see the fear in the faces of the people running away from the crumbling (exploding) buildings, it's as if there was more to what we were seeing than what the media was reporting. On the faces of the people you could see fear caused by explosions rather than just crumbling buildings.
