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 was in the United States Navy, w/i their Submarine Nuclear Power Program ( - i.e., Reactor Operator / Electronics Technician. ) - - from 1978 to 1987. As such - I was also Rate 'cross - trained' as a Machinist's Mate & Electrician's Mate ( As required by the program. ). I also was required to certify, on ALL Submarine systems; outside of Engineering itself.
I believe the sections of Towers # 1 & 2 - - ABOVE the impact points of AA - 11 & UA - 175 . . . collapsed, via Progressive Creep Fracture of their support beams &/or columns. However - - The rest of tower 1 & 2's 'core' structure collapsed, via DEMOLITION - under 'the cover of' the relative debris fields. Bldg. # 7 was destroyed through controlled Demolition' ! This attack, w/ 6 ( six ) flights 'actioned' for sky - jacking ( - The other two flights; having their relevant 'strike teams', being unable to affect control, for varied reasons. ); was conducted as an SOF 'Black' operation - w/ all 3 buildings being wired, as a contingency of that operation ( * To ensure their complete destruction. ).

The number of inconsistencies in the official story is staggering. Even if the fire created by the combustion of the plane fuel had the energy to melt or change the molecular structure of the steel, it could only do so on the Thermo affected area, which couldn't be bigger than a few meters long, making the existence of these effects on the base of the structure impossible, and therefore the character of the fall of the WTC impossible. Not to mention WTC 7.

It's impossible for a skyscraper to be pulverized by a commercial plane, especially when it is built to withstand plane crashes. The list goes on & on....

I'm an ex United Airlines flight attendant; and I worked out of Boston's Logan Intl Airport the morning of 9/11/01 on a flight that departed one hour prior to Flt 175.
Upon seeing the disappearance of the Towers, my first thought that morning upon emergency landing in Iowa and reviewing the television footage of Ground Zero was Shouldn't that pile be bigger? There did not seem to be enough matter where the Towers stood. What was also curious: Nobody checked the passengers on our flight, nor the crew. Everyone scattered away. Bizarre lack of security. Why wasn't anyone accounted for? Why wasn't the plane detained? We were also a full tank of gas making a transcontinental flight from Boston. Very strange, unless the perpetrators knew how everything was to proceed, for that would explain why they had no extraneous use for our plane, nor even to double-check any potential threat on our plane: Because they KNEW there wasn't one!

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.

Due to the results of the investigations done by the ae911truth members, government officials and other high classified professors, doctors, students etc., it is NOT possible that the collapse of the twin towers was caused by the fire initiated trough the impact of the planes!

I am in the finance industry but I have also been a freelance writer and doing research has always been an interest of mine...although 4 years ago I didn't think I would uncover what I have uncovered. It never occurred to me to challenge the 9/11 Commission Report. And that is the goal of the powers behind the obvious cover up.
I didn't want to believe the conspiracy theory stories that had been rumored but only because Loose Change was showing for free at a theater in Ojai, CA was I exposed to evidence that has been deliberately shuddered.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see somethings fishy about the WTC7 collapse. If you knock out one leg of a chair what happens? It tilts, falls, or collapses at an angle in relation to which leg you kicked out. Now a chair and a building are two completely different things and they will collapse differently. If you kick out a leg of a chair the whole thing will fall in in the direction of the missing leg. If you kick out a support beam of a building it wont fall down in one piece but the section supported by the beam will. Even though their different the BASIC SIMPLE principle applies. Kick out all four legs of a chair AT THE SAME TIME and it will collapse just like the WTC7. The top of the building remained parallel with the ground for a vast majority of the collapse simply stating that ALL the support beams in the base were removed

Anyone with a clear state of mind and unafraid of thinking for themselves, unafraid to look at the evidence and unafraid of questioning the truthfulness of the world's governments should see and accept that these collapses were caused by fires. It's completely and utterly ridiculous to think that they were. People still questioning the evidence are clearly gobsmacked by the vale that has been pulled over our eyes to hide us from the truth that would most certainly bring the mightiest corporations and world leaders to a fall!

If somebody could show me how to melt a steel kerosene camp stove using only kerosene and oxygen then I would consider the possibility that the burning portions of the buildings may have collapsed from fire.This however would still not explain the free fall speed of the previously intact portions of all three buildings.

I Discovered at a very early stage that the hit on the Pentagon was not from a Boeing through a video on the Internet and got frustrated to see that such an obvious fact was ignored and rejected by the mainstream media.
Just ask the US administration to Release the Videos of the Pentagon attack... That should sound reasonable to anybody that wants to prove that allegations of a false flag operations are bogus!

Among the many covering areas we highlight ourselves in architecture, urbanism, drawing and painting, photography, sculpture, writing, cinema, and finally the internet, with the design of web pages and podcasts.
There is an official view about this subject, therefore this view is not true, because if truth tended to run around, we wouldn't be as disappointed as we are with the worlds leaders... Sincerely, I don't know how people can question and doubt professionals that precisely take care in preparing building for this kind of attacks...

Due to graduate in May, we have been set an assignment on the collapse of WTC 1 & 2 and told to focus on the pancake theory. Our lecturer, and egineering professional, urged us not to include any 'conspiracy theories'.
Having studied the video of Richard Gage's lecture, and having viewed various other videos on the subject, it is unquestionable that the 'official' story is hugely flawed and a new, independent inquiry must be carried out.

I have been a carpenter for 30 years working on commercial and residential buildings. I have also done structure work on air frames B-1 and C-5 galaxy, a certified welder, certified residential building inspector, and I handled C-4 and other explosives in the Marine Corps.
I have no doubt that the buildings were imploded from hearing the recorded sounds of explosions in videos; from the reporters, police, firefighters, witnesses and victims, and watching building 7 come down on itself. When I saw building 7 come down, I knew right away all of them were imploded. It truly amazes me that even with all my experience, people will still say that I don't know what I am talking about. I know an explosion when I hear one and when you hear a large one, you know that it is impossible to believe that it could be anything but that! I have a copy of a picture of two similar buildings side by side. One was imploded and the other was one of the twin towers. It shows the squibs coming out of the sides of the buildings as they are coming down. Even though the pictures are almost identical, people will still put a spin on the facts that they are different and refuse to listen any longer. I know they are brain-washed and in denial!

There is simply too much evidence that the American people, and the world, have been told a lie about 9/11; and that lie has been used to convince the American people to go to war against other nations for the financial benefit of certain very powerful and greedy individuals. The time has come for Americans to wake up and stop being drugged and spoon-fed 'the story' by the mainstream media. It's time to take a stand for Truth and Freedom.
