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.

While WTC 1 & 2 are not quite as obvious, possibly due to size and scale, WTC 7 is obvious that all supports were removed not only for free fall speed but for level roof-line fall. All supports would have to be removed simultaneously for this type of event.

I have never seen such blatant lies as the official statements on what happened. Anyone with common sense can see those buildings, particularly No. 7, did not come down in the way the government said. People need to start thinking for themselves instead of swallowing the garbage coming over the media streams. The biggest give away was the speed with which the sites were cleared up.

I have a Master's degree (German 'Diplom') in Materials Science and Technology and can therefore relate very well to the vindicated doubts many people have about the official 9/11 story.
I studied and learned lots about materials' properties, how they behave, what stresses and temperatures they can resist, etc. I also know about the laws of physics, as well as the mechanics of materials and structures. No building can just fall to the ground at the speed of fall, nor can megatons of steel and concrete just be turned into dust WITHOUT the help of explosives!

On closer inspection after 911, I was not surprised to find out there were many discrepancies between the obvservable facts and the official coverup. One need only to view videos of the 3 buildings in nearly free-fall collapse -- AND USE ONE'S BRAIN POWER -- to know that further private investigation and proper research is needed to uncover the whole truth, and the deception by our official govt. reports that this was a carefully planned inside job. What has already been uncovered by yours and other groups is sufficient to the understanding that we were not told the truth by the 911 Commission.

The collapse of World Trade Center Seven is the most perfect example of a controlled demolition I have ever seen. There is no way that level of precision could have happened by chance due to mere office fires.

I was a structural draftsman for about 16 years. I worked on various structural projects such as buildings, bridges, dams and roads. I was also involved in surveying and did site supervising of the placement of structural steel and re-bar. I also did site soil testing on earth dams and building foundations. In 1979 I was laid off and decided to open my own retail business of selling flags and flagpoles which is my current occupation.
After seeing your DVD I am convinced that you are probably correct in your explanation of how these building collapsed. With my drafting background it was easy for me to see your point of view. I'm a little shocked that I didn't recognize the evidence of controlled demolition on my own.

I am a small business owner and have a great deal of interest in the events of 9/11/01.
It doesn't take a degree in physics or an architectural degree to clearly see that the official explanation of those events are not only not accurate but border on deceit. As Americans we all deserve to know the truth no matter how painful it may be and no matter how many high ranking figures are implicated. The American people are not fools to be toyed with and all those involved in this act of treason be assured that the truth will be uncovered eventually. (i.e. Hitler bombing his own soil to start W.W. II) Again, you don't need a degree to see the explosions bringing down the buildings. History has proven that even structures with far less engineering have withstood far greater stress for longer periods of time without collapsing. Two words. Controlled Demolition. Many reports of strange personnel in the towers prior to the 9/11 events with strange equipment sometimes covered under sheets.

I attended electrical engineer training courses at East Devon College in the UK. I now work as a mechanical and electrical supervisor.
I was initially suspicious about the official story of the events of 9/11. I felt many of the events to be extremely unlikely. I especially doubted the story of the WTC skyscrapers. The buildings' collapse showed many characteristics of a controlled demolition. I finally was convinced that they were brought down by controlled demolition when I learned of the pools of molten metal and evidence of thermite incendiary.

I first heard about the 911truth effort through Jeff, who had a booth at the Berkeley Farmer's Market with leaflets he was handing out. I later attended conferences at which speakers addressed the inconsistencies in the official story. I attended the annual 911truth film festival at the Grand Lake Theater. I first heard Richard Gage there and feel he presents the most convincing and credible arguments because the visuals he uses to illustrate his points make clear the problems with the idea that fire from jet fuel caused the buildings to collapse. I am hosting shows of his DVD to friends and associates. In speaking to friends and family about the building collapses, I was shocked to find the number of people who cannot cross the psycholigical barrier to accept that high officials of the US government could have allowed the collapses to happen or even have planned and executed the event. Gage presents his evidence so clearly and convincingly that no logic person could see it and believe that fire from jet fuel could have caused it. When you think then about the fact that a demolition company must have gained access to the building with many workers and much equipment over time to do it, and that it was coordinated with the failure of NORAD, which must have been arranged from high level officials, then it gives one pause. A number of people have told me they don't want to see, don't want to know and wouldn't believe it even if somebody presented incontrovertible evidence. Those people I leave alone. I show the dvd to those who are willing to suspend disbelief. I support ae911truth.

The disintegration of the towers in 10 seconds defies belief. The structural core would have to be pre-cut and shaped charges installed to accomplish this feat. Most of the world rejects the N.I.S.T explanation as do many of your citizens. We the world wonder why more money was spent on Clinton's sex life than the crime of the century. Since this event plunged us into the so-called war on terror and illegal invasion of sovereign states, it behooves the creation of an international team of scientists, demolition experts, engineers, architects and detective forces to uncover the truth. We cannot trust an American inquest by your Government.
