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 no credentials beyond that of a concerned but common person.
In order to progress.. settling for a hypothesis with a low probability of occurrence contests any positive undertaking of future prevention. If a truth is impossible to establish.. (IF) at very least probability or probabilities should be established. Based on highest probabilities, why did it occur? Find out first, and then investigate all probabilities to the fullest extent. Any hindrance or rebuttal to a positive investigation can only be counter constructive and detrimental to safety and regrowth from such a catastrophe.

As an Fire Alarm Professional employed by ADT I frequently visited their HQ at the WTC in the mid 1980s. I witnessed, first hand, the lack of horizontal fire suppression (vertical risers were installed) and the sub standard building life safety conditions that were allowed by the NYS Port Authority. These defficiencies may not have contributed the collapse but might have saved many lives had they been installed. There are many unanswered questions that need to be researched and reported. I completly support the re-opening of a full investigation. After working with the Federal Government for many years, the TRUTH will only come from an independant study.

After studying the events of 9/11 for many years, I have concluded that the twin towers and WTC building #7 were brought down by controlled demolition. There are way too many items to go into here but the A&E 9/11 group has very carefully laid out the plausible explanation of the physics of how the buildings collapsed. An investigation needs to be conducted to finally get to the bottom of this tragedy.

Those three buildings came down too perfectly, within their own footprints, to have been caused by an asymmetric impact and subsequent jet fuel fire, much of which burned off externally in fire balls (and Building 7 wasn't even impacted). It offends me that so much of the forensic and scientific evidence was ignored or dismissed by the officials in charge, largely in my opinion because the invasion of Iraq was a foregone conclusion and the Cheney/Bush administration needed a 'Pearl Harbor' event to galvanize public anger in support.

I was an iron worker when I was 18. I helped to build structural steel buildings. I had two years of college in the biological sciences. The last nine years I've been tied to my computer reading everything coming my way on 911. I believe my eyes.
My understanding of the design of the towers is that you basically have two steel screens that have been built into tubes. One inside the other. If you took a pencil and pierced those screens that would not cause a collapse. The heat from the jet fuel lasted at its peak only a few minutes. Only a controlled demolition could do what we saw that day.

I am a citizen of the United States. Though not a professional engineer or architect, I am impressed with the interest and investigation that this group has embraced, and support their efforts in discovering the truth.
I am very concerned about the disturbing evidence unfolding regarding the 9/11 episode. The way the twin towers fell, and now the revelation of a third tower falling in the same manner, plus the explosive evidence found is very disturbing. Enough questions have been raised so that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated with full disclosure. Americans need to know the truth.

Since day one, I did not believe a Jet Fuel fire created enough heat to melt steel. Also, the planes passenger list never did accurately list the hijacker's names. The original story was they bought tickets using their own names several months before the flight. Their names were never listed on the official manifest. That raised a red flag. Pentagon small hole, windows not broken where wings would have impacted. On and on.

A day after the shocking 9-11 event, I felt these aircraft alone could not possible have destroyed the towers. Sure, a hole in the wall, fire and a few damaged floors....Not so convinced that all the fuel got into the building either...Shorty after, many experts stated their doubts regarding the collapse of the steel structure do to the extreme heat only to reverse their opinion a couple of days later. Having seen some amazing (precision) controlled building demo's on TV, I had no doubt, this was one of them! Single engine pilots be able to fly these jets??? May be the jets were rigged to fly them remotely... Zeitgeist CD reinforced my reasoning. Interestingly, most people really believe the official version and many asked me for proof to the contrary...

I am an artist and designer with a mind that is always digging for the hidden meanings.
The fact that the buildings on 911 fell at free fall speed after a low temperature fire, and that building 7 collapsed in a classic demolition configuration, can only mean that the official story is just that, a story with little truth within. It's time for the truth, the whole truth.

I have followed this drama by reviewing internet evidential documentaries such as Richard Gage's address to Architects and Engineers, etc. No technical education or experience - just logical conclusions.
I do not believe the 'official' version of this event. Dr. Stephen Jones, Richard Gage and many others over these years have amply exhibited their professional conclusions based on available data and their own experiments, plus comparisons with other fires in high rises. There is no question in my mind there were explosives in these buildings and I would like to see justice done.

Have supervised projects (including two Nuclear Power Plants) valued at up to 12 Billion Dollars. Have managed major projects around the world for Bechtel Corpl, Brown and Root, CE Lummus. Have been in the Engineering/Construction business for 55 years.
In Las Vegas, especially, but in many other cities as well, millions upon millions of dollars have been spent for the 'Implosian' of buildings. This is a highly technical undertaking requiring knowledge of exact moment points in order to achieve the desired result. Tower number 7 of the WTC did not receive a single piece of debris from the fall of either tower and Tower No. 6 was 'between' Tower No.1 and Tower No. 2. The 47 story building 'Imploded' almost eight hours later. It was claimed that it burned all of this time 'unchecked' until it collapsed. This is beyond belief. It is difficult enough to believe that Tower No's 4, 5, & 6 burned so 'out of control', they would collapse. Two planes hit two towers, both of which should have withstood the impact. All seven towers collapsed. Either the Chief of Maintenance or the Chief Custodian was on duty in the basement of Tower No. 2. He claimed to have heard 'numerous' smaller explosions prior to feeling the building being struck by the plane. This is similar to the effects one would notice if a building had been wired for pre-determined ignition of charges. Many highly qualified and experienced engineers worked at 'justifying' how the buildings collapsed. I honestly believe they were 'forcing' some issuses in an attempt to make the 'means' satisfy the 'end result.' I beg their forgeiveness if I am wrong but all of their explaination is not completely acceptable to many other engineers.

I have seen a lot of footage and a hear a lot of reports. There is something sketchy with the collapsing of the buildings. When the architect of the building says, Yeah this building could take the impact of a 747 and not collapse and then 9/11/01 we see the building crumble to wreckage. Anybody in their right mind should see this as a problem.
