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.

The buildings dropped at free fall velocity. That is physically impossible unless the lower floors are knocked out before the upper floors of the dropping structure encounter them. The burning fuel could weaken the lower floors, but not cause their resistance to the falling structure to drop to zero. In the case of Building 7 there was no fuel to burn and fires in that building could not have burned in a pattern symetrical enough to allow the building drop in its own footprint, aside from the fact that the fires could not have been hot enough to bring the steel structure down.

I received a BSIE from SUNY Buffalo in 1970Worked for GE for 5 years, then Varco-Pruden Metal Building Systems for 3 years and was the Engineering manager at the Office of State Publishing for 33 years, retiring in 2011.... was fortunate to have a wide variety of projects over that time period.Everything from welding and printing equipment specification to oversight of building construction projects including structural roof re-inforcement to support an evaporative cooling system as well as supporting pollution control equipment that incinerated VOC compounds used in lithographic offset printing.
Building 7 videos show a standard building demolition at gravity free fall with a NIST explanation that an office fire was the cause... how absolutely ridiculous. This got me thinking about the Twin Towers and the jet fuel temperatures, which led me to the YouTube clips of the firemen talking about molten metal coming down the channels and the statements that the ground floor lobby area was already blown out before the towers came down. Then I learned about Thermite and realized that the governments explanation of what happened was a complete fabrication and the buildings could not have come down if they were only hit by a commercial passenger aircraft. I also found the Pilots for 911 truth to be informative when they stated that the specific Boeing aircraft cited could not generate enough thrust to fly at 500+ mph at that low of an altitude (80% of the atmosphere is contained in the 1st 2 miles of altitude) because the air is too dense. They can fly at 500+ mph when they are at 6 or 7 miles up in the THIN air, less resistance.

I have 10 years of experience in the construction industry as an architect, mostly in conservation (as well as sustainable architecture). Conservation necessitates looking at old buildings and existing evidence of what happened in the buildings life. Looking at how buildings deteriorate or fail sometimes and assess method of rescue, reuse, adaptation and so on, is part of my everyday livelihood and experience.
Looking at the evidence of the 9/11 it makes me question what the media and government had broadcasted at the time, and that the debris was swept away so quickly without scientific investigation is not right. We need to learn from the experience, not run away from it. If we are to protect people's lives in the future, we need to know what the real destruction process was, how any aspect could be improved (whether it is building design/layout, engineering or security... ) and not let the distraction of the crashing planes play smoke and mirrors with us. Facts, for better understanding. Truth, for building a better future.

Upon receiving my BS in Chem.E. in 1980, I studied Linguistics at University of Michigan graduate school and have worked abroad as a translator of technical documents since 1984.
Because I consider the collapse of the three high rises at near free-fall speeds to be evidence of something else having gone on behind the scenes that day, most likely controlled demolition, even otherwise intelligent progressives consider me a tinfoil hatter now, most probably because of the recent National Geographic special. This is sad, but I believe that in time the psychological need to believe in the official theory will diminish, and the truth will be widely acknowledged. The most compelling evidence was broadcast worldwide repeatedly, ad nauseum. It will eventually be undeniable.

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.

1) The hole in the fassade was not big enough for the named type of Boeing plane. 2) The main structure of WTC would have supported a plane crash. 3) WTC 1,2, & 7 buildings where clearly a professional demolitions, in my opinion. 4) Pentagon crash was not the officially named type of civil Boeing plane. the damages look like being caused by a hawk or some similar flying object.

Obtained BSME at National University of Engineering in Peru, then joined the Peruvian Navy as an officer. Got a scholarship to study Aeronautical Engineering at the United States Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California, where I got the in an MSAeE degree and later the Professional Engineer Degree in Aeronautics. Worked professionally in Production and Maintenance for several companies including production of Steel Propane Tanks, smelting of Cast Iron in Cupola and Induction Furnaces for production of Spin Cast Sewage Pipes, and finally Electric Arc Furnace Smelting of Steel for Reinforced Steel Bar.
The explanation of why the WTC buildings collapsed given by the commissions certainly ignored scientific research and general engineering and materials knowledge. I do not think that all the years of education and training that all Architects, Engineers, Researchers and Specialists received collectively could be ignored and purposely wiped by the biased and incomplete reports presented by the commissions. The professional community should speak and demand an honest report that will once and for all put an end to all the lies and contradictions.

I have been in engineering since 1989, the bulk of which with Rolls Royce. The doubts surrounding 9/11 'truths have always fascinated me, and I think it is one example that should get EVERYONE thinking 'outside the box.
The footage and straightforward explanations put forward by you guys must surely be enough to make any level headed person just stop for a moment and think, Hey yeah, wait a minute. The biggest 'loaded gun' for me was Larry Silverstein's lets pull it statement. (Interestingly, number 1 result when you google, 'lets pull it'). More power to you guys, and let's get the truth.

I am a certified technical engineer with over 27 years' experience in troubleshooting electrical and mechanical problems.
My electrical and mechanical training requires me to understand resistance. This knowledge enabled me to conclude that buildings can not collapse in near free fall speed, for the structure itself would cause resistance to the collapse itself.

I have followed the events and aftermath of 9/11 for all of the intervening years. I am not formally trained in science but one does not need to be to understand the evidence. The irrefutable presence of nano-thermite in the WTC dust goes a long way in explaining the gap between the official story and the mission of AETruth.
It is important for the average American to understand that the official story of 9/11 is seriously flawed. The official story marginalizes common sense, which for me goes too far, but when it flatly discounts verifiable scientific inquiry the Commission is seriously derelict in their prima facie duty to the American Public. So then you might ask to whom did it owe that duty of its apparent obfuscation of the truth - which many would agree - it upheld very efficiently?

I am a 24 year old hispanic retail employee who spent his younger life in Gifted and Talented Education programs, went to several spelling bees in which I placed best in our school, had a COLLEGE level spelling in only the 6th grade and all common sense would tell anyone without mental development issues that what we are told happened on 9/11/01 is in fact a big lie.
None of this info we are being fed makes any sense. I would invite any governmental agency to watch an architect build a scaled down model of the WTC and you can use as much jet fuel as you would like to try and burn it down. I guarantee you it will not. The only steel buildings to ever collapse because of fire fell on 9/11. Shouldn't that tell you something? And the facts don't stop there. There are many conspiracy theories but as soon as one of these theories has any factual evidence backing it up it is no longer a theory and therefore will make 9/11 a crime scene, not against Islamic extremists... but against the people who are paid to protect us.

12th grade student with intense interest in politics, physics, and science. Most importantly: TRUTH
The physics behind the allegations of the 9/11 myth are relatively simple. The towers simply could not have collapsed the way they did as a result of the commercial jets alone. This is not rocket science, it is high school science. Jet fuel which burns at x temperature cannot burn any higher than that temperature without an external energy source. It has been well established that the fuel does not burn at a high enough temperature to have melted the structural materials in these highly sophisticated building.

12th-grade education, but interested in the sciences, ancient history, archeology, biology, etc., and government cover-ups such as, I believe, the Kennedy assassination and the 9/11 twin towers destruction.
I was mesmerized by a program I watched on a local educational station while surfing through the channels that demonstrated how the plane colliding into the one tower could not possibly have caused the intense heat and fire that pulverized the concrete and melted the I-beams so thoroughly. The evidence submitted regarding controlled, timed explosions, and the speed and sequence of said explosions, were visible in the moving photos shown by the speaker and difficult to deny. I was convinced there was much more to the destruction than was in the official reported reasons for the collapse.

I made a living repairing machinery for years and then went to university to study Civil Engineering as a career change. Left due to personal reasons and took a job working in a mechanical engineering capacity. Studied toolmaking, graduated and worked as a toolmaker for many years as well.
I have watched many videos of the fall of the buildings. Random collapse of objects is not compatible with the completely symmetrical fall of all the buildings as shown in the videos. Photos of the debris areas I have seen show beams that are cut and show slag formation consistent with steel cut by torches or arc. This does not happen in uncontrolled collapses. NOTHING in an office building will burn at temperatures that will melt steel beams. There are so many things wrong with the explanations given us that it insults our intelligence!

I've been watching documentaries about various things, but also the demolition of buildings and how they implode them not to hit buildings that surround them. I watched this stuff after 9/11 but as I watched more of this I came to think that the twin towers kind of fell just like a demolition and it made me seek answers. I quickly realized that the official statements, which I looked at first, didn't make any sense to me despite the fact that I don't have any degree in physics or engineering. Since then I've been watching documentaries and trying to find a solution to this that makes sense. Demolition makes sense to me. Pancake theory doesn't, considering how the crash site looked afterward. But again, I have no degree whatsoever.

My personal reasons for signing this petition are based purely in the wish to see the events of that day explained in full. What I have read and watched about 9/11 both official and non-official have many unexplained and contradictory factors, at no other time in history can I remember such contrary reports about such an event. Here in London we had a terrorist event in 2005 on 7th July, we are only now seeing the events of that day being brought to light with a full and comprehensive investigation. The events here in London where horrific and my heart goes out to those family's who have had to rebuild there lives because of it. But the events of 11th September 2001 in New York are of a scale hard to comprehend, they lead to war and the loss of life of an uncountable amount of innocent people in lands far from America. A independent, transparent and truthful investigation has to happen for many reasons and the longer it does not the more questions will arise.

I wonder if the information about the structure is public information. Like steel load capacity, and perhaps things like load bearing beams, etc. Al Qaeda may have known this information as well. Why did Al- Qaeda pick the building that was so impenetrable? The 'grid' on the outside walls raised curiosity. They are a formidable enemy, after all. We all know by looking at the evidence, that it didn't go quite as intended. We all suspect demolition. We don't blame the plane. That would take the blame off Al Qaeda. No one has a theory about how Al- Queda sneaked into the building to set-up demolition. Who ever set this up had access to the building.
