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 a degree in Ceramic Engineering and have practiced in the design of mechanical utility systems for the past 37 years. The areas of practice have been textiles, automotive, electronics, chemical, and general industry.
I have never seen skyscrapers free fall in this manner whether on fire, or impacted by planes or strong winds from storms. The official report goes contrary to the simple laws of physics.

Received my B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering from Boise State in May of 2009 with an emphasis in Structural and Geo technical Engineering. I am currently working on my M.S. Degree in Civil Engineering at Utah State University emphasizing in Geo technical Engineering. I have held several intern positions at various firms during my undergraduate work and received my Engineering Intern certification in 2009 and plan to earn my P.E. certification in 2013.
I have concerns about how the buildings collapsed in the manner that they did given the circumstances. I believe that a structural failure of that magnitude should be given much more investigation and inquiry then it received before a conclusion was made by the commission. They way the buildings fell leave many important and pertinent questions unanswered.

1) Free fall speed collapse of the THREE towers, and 2) high temp molten metal and concrete in the debris of ground zero for almost 6 weeks, are absolutely and physically impossible without a considerable amount of external added energy other than the one from the planes and their fuel. If you accept this official explanation like that, then you have to consider that the Newton Apple is not falling to the ground but is going up towards the sky! And that also maybe that the earth is not round but flat... Then i have, and every physicist and engineer have also to go back to school because everything we have learned in physics is bullshit. These 2 points have to be explained by any serious study. And the official explanations don't explain this because it cannot be explained without that added source of energy...

I am a conservative and traditional American, sworn to defend the Constitution by my oath of office. Although I initially had no basis to doubt the government's version of the events of 9/11, after a several month investigation of my own, I saw that there were serious inconsistencies with the government rendition and further, that there was a serious resistance from DC politicians to undertake a new investigation.
Dozens of radical inconsistencies with the government's official story demands that a truly independent investigation - one that must both include and pass muster with the victim's families - must be undertaken. No more appointment of biased government insiders, like former appointee Henry Kissinger, to head such an important investigation.

WTC7 fell out of sympathy. NIST failed to apply appropriate boundary conditions for the framing system in their model. Given the limited heat, presence of fireproofing, a catastrophic symmetrical failure with near free fall acceleration is physically impossible.

I would like to know the real truth of the WTC destruction. When I saw the original film of the towers pancaking down, there were little wisps of smoke as each floor dropped onto the next. The next time I saw the same clip, the smoke was gone.

The more I learn about the events of the day based on the 9/11 commission report, the more frightening the realization is that we've been lied to by our own government. I hope there is pressure to hold the Bush administration accountable for the damage they've done by hiding the truth.

The very first images on TV that day did not look right when both buildings collapsed in a few seconds .The fires would have burnt themselves out or been extinguished by the firefighters. The structures below should have remained intact. It just looked suspicious on the day it happened.

It doesn't take a scientist to see that the twin towers and the building that was not hit by planes (Bldg 7) came down due to demolition explosives, not fires within the buildings. There are many questions regarding what actually happened to these buildings as well as the Pentagon. Explanations by the government have never made any sense and its time for a real (honest) investigation.

The video evidence shows building collapses which are inconsistent with the reasoning given in the official report, and they appear to be consistent with the patterns of controlled demolition.No skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire, and the fires did not burn hot enough to melt or weaken steel. Furthermore the presence of molten steel and high temperatures recorded at the site suggest that devices other than airplanes were responsible for bringing down the towers.Numerous firemen and policemen reported multiple explosions throughout the building.

I have my Associates in Childcare and Development. I continued my education in Anthropology and Archeology. That degree is to be continued. After having my second child I focused on my children and stayed home while trying to pursue my dream of starting my own business.
There has been so much evidence, not only caught on tape but confirmed by intellectual people including Engineers and Architects who believe, as do I, that the story given to the American people was a lie. This is disgraceful not only to the public but to the immediate family who have been given this lie. There is no closure to these families. I do not trust a government that lies to its people for personal gain. Make the American people trust once again. Let them know that the truth will be finally admitted. It is not too late. Thank you.

I have seen many recordings from various angles of the WTC from that fateful 9/11. Also, I have watched videos from countless engineers who insist that steel buildings just do not fall in the manner the WTC did -- and to confirm, I've watched footage of steel buildings burning for days before even starting to crumble. And I have questions about why Building 7 was brought down. An independent investigation should be conducted and the truth be brought to the public. After all, that incident catapulted our country to the never-ending war that we and other countries live with still today.

I am a private citizen who has grave questions about 9/11. I am informed as to building construction and demolition thru my own personal studies and basic architecture classes.
There is No Doubt in my mind that what I saw on 9/11 was a Controlled Demolition. I know enough about how skyscrapers are built to know that no plane and diesel fuel, thats what jet fuel is, could take down the Steel and Concrete structures designed the way those buildings were. It is way past time for the TRUTH to be known. I fully support a Clear Independent Investigation into 9/11.

Too much evidence exists to dismiss 9/11 the way it has been handled in NIST. Too much. The public demands re-investigation, or...the first investigation that never took place. This is no 'Michael Jackson is Alive!' conspiracy. This is hard evidence and fact being hidden and swept under the rug to save face. Barry Jennings? Explosions? Building 7? Open up 9/11!!!

On September 11, 2001, when the announcer said that a plane had just hit one of the World Trade Center towers, and they didn't know whether it was a commercial airliner or a private plane, my immediate response was, 'Well, that's a no brainer. If it was a commercial airliner, you would know.' I explained to the other employees in the break room that I had both military and FAA experience and that there was a policy in place that if a commercial airliner was off course, FAA would notify NORAD who would scramble a fighter to investigate. The news would surely be in the loop. Soon after, the announcer and a reporter were conversing about if the tower had 'collapsed yet.' 'Huh?' There was obviously not enough damage for the tower to completely collapse into itself. But it did, shortly after the prediction. Another 'Huh?' I smelled fish from the git go.

Available evidence indicates that the official story is seriously flawed. The scientific validity and volume of this evidence warrants a new investigation.
