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 cannot possibly accept the results of the official investigations of the collapse of several World Trade Center buildings on 9/11. The only credible cause of the collapse of the two towers and Building 7 is intentional demolition by preset explosive charges. This must have been done with the knowledge of some US government agency or agencies. The question is how high up the chain of command responsibility extends.

I did my degree at the Technical University of Denmark in the field of electronics. I have been self employed most of my working life, mainly in the field of acoustics and sound. Later I have done freelance consulting. Today I am employed as CTO for a company doing consumer electronics.
Although I have studied electronics, and not construction I have still had many of the basic physics-courses offered by DTU. Although university level physics is not necessary to understand the very basic physical laws involved in the collapse of buildings. And in my opinion there is no doubt, whatsoever, that the official story - especially around building 7 - is invalid. When one starts to look at the evidence presented by my colleagues around the world, it becomes absolutely clear that a fresh, INDEPENDENT, investigation is necessary. Even if one subtracts the usual conspiracy-theories around such event, and even if only 10% of the evidence is valid, it is still more than enough to initiate another inquiry.

I became familiar with steel structures as a draftsman for Kerr McGee designing offshore drilling rigs from 1979-82. After spending 3.5 years to earn a BS mechanical engineering degree at the University of Oklahoma in 1985, the oil industry was in a deep recession. The next couple of years were spent developing and designing robots and industrial manipulator arms. 1988-90 were interesting years at Rockwell Rocketdyne developing rocket engine systems for Star Wars. Since 1990 the technical challenge of electrical submersible pumping systems for the oil industry has been my profession. Currently as Principal Engineer at Baker Hughes International I mentor young engineers and serve as a technical adviser for a wide range of system and mechanical challenges for the BHI Centrilift products.
The case made in these documentaries is virtually 100% against the official record and points to some very disturbing likely possibilities. A proper investigation is needed before some very dark elements in our government are able to deliver us all the way down the road to serfdom.

I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the 3 World Trade Buildings collapsed due to forces beyond the burning of jet fuel and typical building contents. We do not design undamaged buildings to free fall as in the World Trade Buildings on 9/11. There needs to be a truthful and apolitical investigation into the mechanism in the collapse of these buildings.

Also, the buildings, including number seven, all fell with acceleration close to free fall indicating controlled demolition.

I took my degree in architecture from 1987 - 92 (5 years degree). Immediately after, I worked at an architectural office in Lisbon but quickly found my happiness working for myself, which I have been doing since 1997.
The WTC destruction, or better yet, controlled demolition and faking of a terrorist attack is the most blatant crime I can remember in my 50 years of life. I believe that if the truth is to be uncovered, it will be a decisive turning point in the way things work. I really am hoping for a quick resolution to this disgraceful situation so as to: give some sense of justice (if possible) to the victims families and to bring the real criminals to justice, signaling to all others that the days of impunity are over. This will be an hugely important precedent to change the derailed and asphyxiated American justice system.

I was in NYC during the collapse, in an apartment on W28th St. I had been shopping in the mall underneath the Towers and had seen them for the first time the previous day. Although I have no engineering experience, I was amazed that the Towers came straight down, somehow avoiding tremendous additional damage to lower Manhattan. The official story never seemed possible to me. My only experience is having been packed on the subway with people escaping from downtown.

I first became aware of issues in relation to 911 in 2009 when I friend passed on a documentary called Zeitgeist. I had seen Fahrenheit 911 but only concluded that Bush was an idiot and to be honest did not put too much thought into it. Following on from 911 I have read a David Ray Griffin book and watched alot of documentaries online about that fatal day. I am convinced there was prior knowledge of the attack and that it was most likely an inside job in as the catalyst to get into Iraq. I find it frustrating when I tell my friends about this but they simply don't care.

I am 24 years old, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. I have worked under various companies, low level due to my lack of motivation during the process of my education. I was lazy. I like to play video games, analyze newspapers and observe and come to proper conclusions. I believe in a unified world, heck for a long time (a very long time) of my life I feel strong connection to people all over the world. We are all family, there are no borders (really there aren't, only artificially created ones).
I believe that the 9/11 was and still is profoundly odd. Contradicting material, a feeling of a cover up by the government and various sources. Though I can feel it is simply a feeling of inexperience and the government does not want to expose themselves to this inexperience. Media not pressing matters, when journalism is all about pressing matters and covering every subject. Now time passes, and more and more people begin to forget or not care, and today when you speak about it, it becomes an act of are you a conspiracy theorist? when it has nothing to do about it. 9/11 fooled a world, to what end? To what purpose? What is the goal? I do not wish to blame anyone, I believe that those that did it (at this grand of a scale) are looking at a long term purpose. The West World attacked the Middle East together! European soldiers sent to Afghanistan as well. Something that I wonder and question myself is, how far does the American military stretch their operations today, compared to 2000? How much do they own? Are we looking at an attempt at world domination (long term, again), being the ultimate goal? During the Cold War America and Sweden joined forces in the form of a secret deal, they would protect us from Soviet. What was our end of the bargain? Did we ever repay it? Are we simply a daughter company, a product of America Co.? Governments and countries are companies! Not different people! Sure we speak different languages, some of us different colors but what we are genetically underneath the skin (from a scientific point of view, we are not very different).

The collapse of Building 7 (near the Twin Towers) changed everything for me. I then reconsidered the official explanation of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Building 7 collapsed even though it was only struck with indirect, minor debris. The representative of the ownership of Building 7 shocked me when he said on camera that we decided to pull Building 7, almost explicitly confirming that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. Regardless of what his words meant, Building 7's collapse was clearly not due to the plane attacks. And if Building 7 had already been prepared for controlled demolition prior to 9/11, it's logical the Twin Towers could have also been similarly prepared prior to 9/11. Also, a documentary interviewed Twin Tower security personnel, who were in the lowest floors of the Towers during and after the attack, described on camera huge explosions in the lowest levels of the Towers before their collapse; they also stated that during a weekend or two before 9/11, all security cameras and other security equipment in the Twin Towers were disabled, ostensibly for routine maintenance, even though these workers/manager(s) said security had never before during their long tenure there, been fully disabled, even with power turned off to other parts of the building. Again, if it was done in Building 7, why not in the Twin Towers? But Building 7's collapse was the tipping point for me in even considering a controlled demolition of the Twin Towers. Open a real investigation! Also, learning about the fully-confirmed 1960s U.S. government plan called Operation Northwoods, opened my mind to the possibility of the U.S. government aiding or orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, since they'd already considered this type of action decades before and for similar motivation.

I am a concerned citizen with doubts about the official explanation of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11.
The official explanation of the 9/11 building collapses does not sufficiently answer issues of sudden onset of destruction, free-fall-speed collapse, uniform debris fields, presence of exotic explosives in dust samples, eyewitness and photographic evidence of explosions and molten iron, and many other factors that point to a very different narrative.

It all looks like demolition to me, and the fact that the steel was sent to China to be melted is shocking to me. That says a lot in itself.

I think Americans deserve to know the truth and I support all A/E's who endeavor to let the truth will out. I watched the WTC7 analysis video and I am convinced that the WTC7 collapsed through a planned and timed demolition. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) investigation and report was very unscientific and ignored much evidence to pronounce that the building had collapsed from fires from the office furnishings. We are all deserve closure and the truth.

It is impossible for any of these buildings to collapse especially at the speed they did without explosives being used.

Just a guy with two healthy eyes and a little bit of common sense. A father of one with another on the way. I have been borderline obsessed with the collapse of the whole 9/11 event since the day it happened and I am appalled at my country's leaders for going along with the official story. If its obvious to me, it sure better be obvious to my elected leaders right? Anyway, I work in the automobile industry but tinker in electronics as a hobby. I did go to school for Internet Business Tech but didn't really like (morally) where the industry was going so decided to do what I liked better, fixing cars.
I remember the day it all went down like it was yesterday. I worked at a Radio Shack at the time. I was watching the whole thing on a wall of TV's and when the first Tower fell I turned to the employee next to me and said That building just blew up. There's no way that just FELL down. and I have stuck to my observation until today.

Anyone who took basic algebra (and intro to physics) and can calculate the fall time of an object, will discover that the fall of the buildings was according to free fall (like a bowling ball). Finally, it takes a temperature of about 2,705F to melt steel. The fireball did not even reach 1,000F!

I have no relevent experience or technical education. But I can't ignore what I just know, and that is Building 7 should never have collapsed in such an orderly fashion because of random office fire. I just know it.
I am concerned about Building 7. For me it is the smoking gun in the whole 9/11 story. Its collapse seems to lack the chaotic nature belonging to the fire which was supposed to have bought it down. It's almost as though it has no business falling down. Especially since other buildings closer that sustained more damage than it, did not collapse. I am deeply concerned about this.

Hearing testimony from survivors, and using common sense when watching the buildings (more than 2), anyone can see there is foul play! I went to ground zero within days of the attack, I saw small shops still standing that were right next to the Twin Towers and at 16, could not make sense of it. I remember asking my father, why are these small apartments and shops still standing but these giant ones are not?. Then, weeks of media coverage with talks about explosions and seeing people burned by the explosions only to see in the investigations that there were no explosions...it just does not add up.

I am simply an American who deserves to know the truth about the destruction of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 on September 11, 2001.
Recently, I had reason to burn in excess of 10,000 board feet of various specie of wood scrap. I did so in a crude controlled burn using a common 55 gallon barrel. The debris contained a small amount of metal fasteners (ie. screws, staples, etc.). After placing and igniting pieces of the debris in the barrel it was allowed to burn at a normal rate (meaning no accelerates were used at any time). As coals and ash formed inside the barrel more wood was added periodically some of which contained nails, screws and staples. At no time during the 67 day period were any ash or other matter removed from the barrel. During the burn the barrel would glow red hot, but no distortion was observed. During the 67 day period different metal pieces were introduced into the fire at varied intervals. Once the fire was allowed to burn out completely and the ashes cool, I observed the following: 1. The ash produced was surprisingly minimal, approximately 15 gallons after the metal parts were removed. 2. The metal parts and fasteners were intact with no evidence of melting. I understand the metal parts were not subjected to stress as they were embedded in the wood during the burn. This brings me to my point. If a fire burning hot enough to turn a 55 gallon industrial barrel red hot for 67 days resulting in the reduction of 10,000 board feet of wood to approximately 15 gallons of ash isn't hot enough to exhibit even minor distortion of thin steel plates, steel screws and staples an oxygen deprived fire such as that at WTC could not have generated sufficient heat to melt steel beams and pulverize concrete and office furniture. I am neither an Architect or Engineer, nor a student of either. I am merely a concerned citizen who from day one has never believed in the pancake collapse explanation of any of the WTC buildings. I was watching the scene unfold on nationally broadcast television on 9/11/01 along with millions of others as the Towers fell. I said then (as it happened) and I say now, even in my limited knowledge of implosions, that the WTC incident was a controlled demolition.

I am a junior structural steel estimator who has a passion for alternative research and science. I graduated from NDSCS in 2011 in architectural drafting and estimating; I left school early to start working in Fargo for a prestigious fabrication shop. My experience may be brief, but I have researched 911 from top to bottom and given multiple speeches in college about it. During my speech class I passed out copies of the first official press release AE911Truth printed and gave a short speech about its implications.
Building 7 was the biggest red flag on September 11th. Not only did it fall at free fall speed, but molten steel flowed throughout the wreckage. Structural steel failure could result from the abnormal twisting of steel due to heat. However, it would take a lot more heat than what was available on 911 to turn structural steel back into a molten state. My dealings with heavy industrial applications and knowing what kind of heat steel is subjected to without failure has lead me to believe that way more than jet fuel was used to bring down the towers.

You don't need much of an education, or technical experience to see that there were explosive charges going off in ALL buildings, including building 7 which collapsed without sustaining ANY heavy damage! Even in The Great Chicago Fire most of the structural integrity of those terribly burned buildings remained intact. Building 7 was a controlled demolition just like the other two buildings, and since it takes WEEKS even MONTHS to set up the explosives needed to bring those buildings down.
