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.

Employed by Boeing and for 5 years worked with the E4B Presidential support aircraft at Offutt AFB and was contract administrator for the maintenance of the 4 aircraft fleet and was responsible for negotiating the cost of maintaining each aircraft.
My opinion regarding the collapse of the twin towers leads me to believe that there were other types of explosives placed within the building superstructures and to be timed to be set off and detonated when the aircraft's smashed into the respective towers. I do not believe that the buildings would have totally collapsed just from the impact of the aircraft. The impact and force would have had to been much greater.

I am a retired Major General, Army National Guard, and I have 38 years of work as a mechanical engineer with the department of Navy in the design of weapons, components, and transportation means. Lifting and handling was the basis for my experience in strength of materials and the analysis of failure therein. I'm degreed as a mechanical engineer, Louisiana Tech, 1962.
I have read numerous reports containing both calculations and science as well as opinions, watched numerous videos of interviews with experts, watched the collapse of all buildings more times than I can accurately state and there are many factors which simply do not fit the scenario. What I have read of the residual chemical evidence pointing to materials for which there is no logical explanation, other than that an explosives expert with unique access to materials was involved. Most importantly, perhaps, is the indisputable fact that all three buildings fell as in a controlled demolitions scenario. The fuel from the planes did not have enough energy to transfer to the massive central support beams and cause structural failure. Therefore, something else had to be in play to cause what we saw. Then in Building 7, it had no damage from a plane strike. What would have caused it to fall shortly after the owner's decision to 'pull it'? My view is that this is a false flag operation and the USA is up to it's eyeballs in it. I have not continuously followed this crime because it was clear from the beginning that it was being swept under the rug, but there were some very resourceful engineers who studied the rate of acceleration of the fall of the two towers and determined that there was insignificant deviation from free fall. Meaning that the towers did not take a detour and crash their way down one floor at a time, overcoming the strength of each floor, which equates to time, thus loosing that straight-line acceleration we would expect unless a number of floors were assisted by controlled demolition. And what about all that molten steel that was running like a small stream in the basement with traces of thermite in it?

It appears highly unlikely that fires and airplane impacts were the singular cause for the buildings collapse. It appears that evidence to the contrary was purposfully ignored by the NIST investigation. Conditions of public safety, building safety and national security should warrent an independant investigation into this catastrophe.

It is ludicrous that the 911 commission did not investigate the possibility of intentional demolition by use of explosives of the 3 world trade center towers. I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty. It needs to be repealed after a REAL investigation of the events of 9/11 brings out the truth of what happened on that day.

I am no professional but I live in Las Vegas and have eye-witnessed the implosion of 5 older casinos and the way the WTC buildings went down were exactly the same to me. Plus building 7 just dropped with no plane hitting it....cant anyone see there is something wrong with what they have been told?

Occupation: Mechanical Engineer
I'm a design mechanical engineer working with steel and other materials. My designs are of dynamic (moving) mechanisms meant to work in the real world and, as such, must follow the laws of the physics of moving bodies. My work involves fabrication of mechanisms and other parts often made by heating and gas welding mild steel and 4130 (chrom-moly) steel.
The collapse of any of the three WTC towers that fell on 9/11/2001 in NYC could not have happened as quickly as they did or as neatly as they did, straight down into their own footprint if gravity provided the only collapse energy. This means that the conclusions drawn by the US government and NIST are incorrect. The event is critically important, perhaps the most important event in US recent history. We must get this right.

I watched the Towers fall on September 11th and I knew something wasn't right from the start. I had worked for a Architectural/Engineering firm while attending the University of Minnesota. I tried to find all the information I could, and talk to people who I thought would question what happened. In the early days of 2001-2002, it was hard going to find people who would listen. I didn't give up, and as new material surfaced I used it to show people. Needless to say I have converted a lot of folks.

Although I ended with an business degree, I took all the core engineering courses while in college. I actually had more engineering credits than business, so I know engineering. I worked in the drilling business and learned much about steel structures such as derrick and their potential causes of collapse.
The data is overwhelming that a controlled demolition occurred. The lack of resistance from the lower intact structure as the building fell, the explosions and molten steel that are not explained, the evidence of prior knowledge, all point to controlled demolition. The only question would be one of motive, but after also experiencing the lies that got the U.S.A. into the Iraq war, it seems obvious that military presence in the Middle East by whatever means necessary was imperative for the Bush Administration

The authors are stating the obvious, the unthinkable. Controlled demolition of three occupied high rise steel-frame office buildings. The pain of acknowledging this is almost too much to bear. Those who perpetrated and profited from this horrific crime should be removed from power, forever.

I am a 62 year-old citizen who is currently an insurance inspector, and I am one who loves my country dearly. However, I do not like what I see going on with the current administration. The lust for power over everyone in this country, and the world, has got to be stopped. It isn't necessarily OUR president, but people who are behind the scenes (international bankers who control the FED) who need to be corralled and taken OUT of the picture. When does anyone start talking about those who schemed to take over our money supply in 1913?????? WHEN??
am a citizen who, without any doubt in my mind, believes that the very top leaders of our government designed the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Towers for the purpose of getting the Patriot Act pushed through Congress, when the members of Congress did not even have a copy to read before voting for this insane piece of legislation. This act of terror was, I believe, intended to install absolute FEAR in the minds of the American people so they would believe that their Government HAD to pass these new laws in order to protect us from any further such attacks. I will be willing to whatever I can to help disseminate the truth of this despicable and unforgivable act on this country, and I want to see those involved in this conspiracy brought to justice. If determined to be treason, then death should be their sentence. Nothing less will be considered satisfactory if that be the case.

Like many other people I was traumatized by the events of 9/11. I remember watching the WTC 1, 2, and WTC 7 building collapses on TV as they occurred and thinking life as we know it is over. This website revealed numerous key points I was not aware of. WTC 7 was CLEARLY a Controlled Demolition, and it's likely that WTC 1, 2 were also. The evidence is overwhelming that the government is lying.

At first I laughed at anyone who would suggest anything other than the official story happened on 9/11. The more I research each year, the more I see that the official story is a joke and is the most ridiculous Conspiracy Theory I've ever heard.
