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.

Have been in electronics for over 20 years. I was in the Army as an Avionics Equipment Repairer and hold over 2300 hours of documented work in an Aprentiship for Journeyman Electrician Radio Repairer, or something like that, with the Department of Labor. US Army 1988-1991. Have direct knowledge of how RF and the surrounding principals work. I held a N.A.B.E.R. (National Association of Broadcast and Educational Radio) for almost 10 years. Worked as an Assistant Engineer for several radio stations.
The evidence proves that 9/11 was not performed by merely 19 hijackers. The evidence proves that there is no way that ANYONE could have used cell phones to call people from those planes. The calls just would not have been successful. The plane is acting like a faraday shield and would prevent the signals from reaching the towers, especially with the plane over 4,000 ft and traveling over 200 MPH. The evidence also shows that there was thermite/thermate used in the destruction of the WTC's. The complete and utter destruction is not possible by a natural collapse, and it is not possible to destroy the lower columns completely as they become thicker and stronger the lower you go in the building. It's like a tree, it's bigger at the bottom to provide better support.

I specialize in tooling design and manufacturing of metals. I deal with melting points, stress analysis, failure modes, and chemical analysis, of various metals, primarily ferrous materials, on a daily basis.
There are still many unanswered questions. I agree that we need a peer review and a new, complete investigation with pieces of evidence such as the molten steel with traces of thermite. The amount of money that has been spent on these FEMA and NIST reports could have been spent on building a replica of the WTC to help support their fire theory. I'm not talking about a full scale 110 story building, maybe about 20 floors, to see if their fire hypothesis will hold up.

I am a native of the Dominican Republic and have lived in the city of New York most of my life. I am an artist and I work in different mediums. The World Trade Center was a memorable place for me having first visited the site during the start of the project and visiting it on many occasions. They became part of the loved skyline of this great city that is new york and a great inspiration.
We need to know the truth. My experience with working with steel and knowledge of metallurgy leads me to believe that the findings are not in conclusive with the laws of physics and fail to explain the actual cause of why these three buildings went down in the sequential time they came down.

I have little to no experience or education in architecture or engineering. However, I can tell based of the documentary on the controlled demolitions of the towers having an understanding of basic physics to understand that the official NIST reports are a deliberate cover-up.
Although it was disheartening at first to believe our own government could do this to us, nothing is perfect, and I came to grips with it recently. I just want the truth.

My great uncle worked in the World Trade Center towers but moved to working in the Pentagon one month before 9/11. He is also a Colonel in the army. He was in the Pentagon on 9/11 and he also does not believe the official report.
I have believed that it can be seen clear as day that all 3 Towers were brought down by explosives. Also, I feel that 9/11 was a tool used so the government could manipulate the laws and constitution to better fit their needs and not the freedoms of each and every American citizen.

One of the most disturbing events in modern history. 9/11 represents all the video and film production expertise Leni Riefenstahl could have only dreamed of......the visual proof of explosives is undeniable and the opinions of so many make 9/11 the most important event in American history.

I have no official degrees I am just a concerned citizen who believes that the United States government is withholding information about the 9/11 attacks and the real reasons for the occupation of Iraq. I personally believe that it all stems back to greed. All the people in our government had too much to gain from those attacks for it to be a coincidence.
The speed of the utter destruction of the Towers resembled a controlled explosion. After the planes struck the buildings many people were evacuated and firefighters said the buildings were structurally sound. But then all of a sudden the buildings collapsed at almost the speed of free fall. Firefighters testimonies, photographic evidence, and satellite scans show large amount of molten steel at Ground Zero yet jet fuel doesn't burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel. Several Skyscraper have endured longer and hotter fires and not fallen.

I'm just another person that thinks the whole 9/11 story is a farse. I think it's clear that they AT LEAST lied about it. The thought that they would do it themselves is still hard for me to accept. But I can think of no other logical explanation for lying about the deaths of thousands of people. The lies were for the purposes of protecting someone. Who would want to protect a mass murderer? The only reason to protect a person like that is if you are that person.
I know nothing about engineering or architecture but it doesn't take a well educated person to KNOW that something fishy happened that day. The building just immediately collapsed inwards. I've never seen an object turn to dust and fall to the ground like that. When you punch a hole in something, it falls towards the hole. The political repercussions are also just too convenient.

I have many doubts about the official story. I have read many articles about the events of that day from sources other than the mainstream media, and they make more sense to me than the official story. I don't believe the towers could have collapsed the way they did, in their own footprint, without explosives. I believe it was a controlled demolition. Those towers were designed to withstand aircraft crashing into them without collapsing. Also, I can't believe that our complex, state-of-the-art defense system, in all locations affected, was completely thwarted by those blamed in the official story. It is preposterous to me that a few guys with box cutters could take over several planes. I believe the events of that day were all planned ahead of time, with cooperation from anyone necessary, to make it happen.

I am an independent professional living and working in Brooklyn, NY, where I was also raised. i run a literary events series and manage many creative projects each year, including video, environmental, literary, construction, and arts oriented.
When this event happened, people did not want to confront the fact that the fall of those buildings didn't make sense, physically. The red pit seen at Ground Zero, which glowed for nearly three weeks, visible from the Brooklyn Height's promenade, did not make sense. People could only stare. I was one of them. Obviously, fear replaced common sense for many, and we continued to obediently observe without question. But, in the months that followed, New Yorker's could not refuse the first hand accounts uttered by NYC firefighters and other first responders. These were the people we'd talk to each day, see on the street, our neighbors, our friends... As well as the people who made it out of those building, who repeatedly expressed that they audibly witnessed many secondary explosions all through the building, similar in claim to many firefighters' and first responders' claims. I believe that most New Yorker's wholly accept that the official story is bogus and feel betrayed by their leaders who organized it. I fully support a new independent investigation, as do my friends, family, and colleagues. This is the reality.
