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 observed the entire event and both collapses from my office window of 110 William Street facing West. What I saw bears no resemblance to what is portrayed as the mode of failure. When the top of the South Tower fell away to the East and down, I fully expected to see the jagged remains of the floors beneath still standing. I was taken aback when the smoke cleared and learned that the entire building had collapsed. It did not make any sense to me then and still makes no sense now.

I have an Architectural Association Part 1 Architecture degree, a mathematics degree and a PhD in Signal and Image Processing, relating to automatic speech recognition. I have 30 years experience in speech technology research and development, with more recent experience in other applications of machine learning.
It is obvious from the video evidence, to anyone who is not deliberately deceiving themselves, that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition, which would have taken days to set up. It is also beyond doubt that many explosions also took place both during and before the destruction of the WTC towers, which did not appear to collapse so much as to be blown out in all directions in many stages, with much of the concrete turning to dust before it hit the ground and tons of steel melting and folding in ways which could not happen at temperatures arising from jet duel and office fires. That NIST admits that it did not even look for evidence of explosives, in the face of hundreds of witnesses to the sounds and effectives of explosions, is already more than enough proof that it was not performing its duty to perform a thorough investigation.

I am an average American seeking the truth. I am employed in the field of Residential Construction Sales, therefore I possess no notable technical expertise in the fields of Architecture or Engineering.
Building 7 is the smoking gun to the truth we seek - and with the hundreds of eyewitness testimony of explosions, molten steel, etc. there is more than enough evidence to justify a real scientific investigation into the true cause of structural failure in all three buildings. We the people are the grease in the cogs of this nation and it is our duty, right and responsibility to demand answers.

Truth is tantamount for the concept of the United States. There is NO DOUBT that we all have been blinded. Building 7 is the main ingredient. I have no doubt as to the possibility of a conspiracy. Please pay attention to this very important plea, because our county is in danger of collapse as well.

As an investment research analyst, I know full well that it is critically important to get to the right facts, however unwelcoming and inconvenient those facts are. Without rigorous drill down on facts and reality, is a sure way to ultimately perform sub-optimally. Effective investment strategies are based on a broad understanding of the world and the reality it reflects.
The evidence is very strong that all three WTC buildings were destroyed by well-planned military-grade explosive. An independent investigation must be carried out. The truth will eventually be known, however long it takes.

I am a genuine seeker of the truth and am aware that world events as reported by international media are grossly inaccurate and often times absolutely false. I consider the world reports of the events of 9/11 and the destruction of the Twin Towers as such, and believe the truth and the real events were covered up.
I sincerely believe that the world's media did not accurately or truthfully inform the people of the United States of America and the world about the real events of 9/11 and the destruction of the Twin Towers. I believe that this is in part because the media giants are owned and/or run and controlled by certain of those who do not want the public to know the truth, but rather to cause fear and mass confusion in the world by blaming the events of 9/11 and other events in the world on terrorists who supposedly hate freedom and will do anything in their power including suicide to prevent such freedoms. I also believe that 9/11 and the destruction of the Twin Towers and the great and tragic loss of human lives was planned and caused by those in powerful positions who wish to eventually attain control and domination of our world.

The speed at which the buildings fell is not possible without other forces acting upon and within the buildings. My structural experience and understanding of construction makes it very difficult to accept the official explanations. The live video of eye witnesses experiences of multiple explosions and other anomalies that don't add up to the open minded individual. This investigation needs more attention and I will do what I can to promote the spread of this information.

Other than corporate media influencing, I have no idea how any american can say that the towers collapsed naturaly. Obvious demolition. Three towers fall in the same fashion due to fire damage no way...never happend before 9/11 and we are expected to believe it? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH. The government is supposed to be for the people by the peple...hasn't been since the 20's. It's time to take our country back!

Former member of the Royal Air Force, working on air defense radars. I also acted as a ministry of defense instructor, covering the field of airborne radio, radar and navigation systems. All my life I have maintained a broad overview of all things engineering.
On the day of 911, I was working out in the field, around the Manchester area. The only information I had available was via FM radio and after the first aircraft hit, like everybody else, I thought it to be a dreadful accident. When we heard of the second strike we all knew different. I was attending my final call of the day when the collapse of the first tower was reported, followed an hour later by the second. Now one of the things that always struck me about those buildings, was how slender they were compared to their bases. I knew that there had to be some massive internal structure to support not just the mass of the buildings but also the windage. So I, like most other people I spoke to, who were away from TV screens, imagined them lying like demolished pylons across Manhattan. I'll let you guess my reaction, when I was able to watch the collapses when I got home. It ran something like No ..............Way!!

The NIST report indicates there was no evidence or testimony indicating an explosion or incendiaries when in fact thermite and thermate were found in the debris, thermal imaging after the collapse indicated temperatures greater than 1,000 degrees fahrenheit in the debris and there were numerous videotaped descriptions of explosions from eyewitnesses on the day of the event. For those reasons, I believe respect for those who died that day - and for the citizenry of this country as a whole - requires us to let the sun shine on all the facts that can be and have been discovered, and that truth and reconciliation proceed, wherever it may lead.

In 9/11 there are a couple pf givens that underpin just where we are today. 1. In 1945 a B25 bomber hit the Empire State building, without structural failure 2. The WTC design was incorporeal of this incident to ensure that the then aircraft in common usage striking the any WTC building would not structurally fail if hit by one of these aircraft. 3. Apparently the WTC did fail and a massive failure was seen by the world om 9/11. Given these (alleged) catastrophic structural engineering design failures in WTC complex, what changes to the USA building/structural engineering code have been insisted upon by the US Institute of Engineers (or its equivalent) prior to any further vertical steel reinforced structure commencement post 9/11, including these building's replacements? Further, if any recommendations made due to structural failure and now reflected in legislated building/engineering codes, upon what evidence were the changes made? if any? Just pondering... Jim

Obviously WTC7 is a smoking gun. Silverstein has admitted to pull the building. At a time of such calamity why would anyone in their right mind worry to tamper with evidence when first priority should have been to rescue victims. I am also aware of the renovations due to asbestos the buildings were scheduled to undergo. I have no doubt this was a manufactured event to pursue political agenda.

I am shocked and dismayed that these buildings could have been pre-planned to blow. I have watched demonstrations of buildings implode on themselves when a building was unsafe to keep open. I have also watched Myth Busters and know how well thermite goes through metal. I am concerned that we need another investigation and follow up on what was found.
