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.

BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have extensive experience with CAD and CNC programming, project management and mentoring, new product design and testing, thermocouples and data collection equipment, metal fabrication processes, and heat transfer of various metal applications. I have taken classes in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and have general knowledge and understanding of the physics involved in a building collapse.
I become interested in 9/11 on 9/11/2012. I happened to be watching videos of the attacks online and found a video of building 7 coming down. As I watched the way it collapsed, I knew something didn't look right. As I dug a little deeper into all 3 towers, I began to realize that the official story was anything but true. The observation of molten steel pouring from the towers is particularly interesting to me because I work with steel on a daily basis in a metal fabrication plant. It is deeply troubling that NIST has denied the fact that molten steel was present before, during and after the collapse. The presence of molten steel is evidence that this collapse was not natural since jet fuel can't achieve 2,700 deg. F in open air. Then we saw the pyroclastic-like clouds of pulverized concrete and hot gas mix rise into the air like we saw during the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. We saw buildings coming down at free fall acceleration, symmetrically down to the ground. The discovery of thermite in the dust samples only proves this further. In my opinion NIST and many other organizations and departments have deliberately ignored and covered up the evidence of explosives and molten steel in those buildings. What disturbs me the most is that the scientific and engineering community including my own peers and colleagues, have refused to examine the evidence and have turned their back on the truth. Shame on those who are supposed to be role models and leaders of this country for doing nothing, for fear of damaging their reputation or compromising their wealth or social status. And shame on the members of the media who carry the responsibility of reporting the truth to the American people, but instead have spread lies, disinformation and propaganda. I sincerely hope that more people will join in and fight for the truth. It's the least we can do for all the lives lost on 9/11 and as a result of 9/11.

Very concerned about how, and why WTC 7 came down. The amount of damage to the building prior to its collapse doesn't justify a full collapse into its own footprint. There is not enough main-stream media coverage on this building.

I currently serve as the company's Engineering Manager doing Mechanical Engineering in the water delivery field.
I have poured plenty of iron and iron based alloys in my career. Liquidus temperature for construction type steels is around 2735F - 2750F. It is impossible for the steel structure to have been compromised to the point of the type of failure that was experienced. There are many different technical things from material science to metallurgy to computer science issues that are obviously incorrect and or fabricated.

I have a Bach of Arts and Sci in Architectural Studies and a Bach of Arch degrees. I also studies Arctic Engineering at Univ. of Alaska Anchorage.Prior to starting my own practice, I worked on high rise projects for the firms I worked for. Once I started my own architectural firm in Seattle in Jan 1991 (over 29 yrs ago), I continued to have work on numerous high rise buildings.
The visual analysis of the collapse of all three WTC buildings does not meet, in my opinion, the nature of a collapse related to non-symmetrical destruction. All three buildings collapsed symmetrically downward with no horizontal deviation even though the damage to the structure was non-symmetrical. A professional architect, engineer or one versed in the physics of building structures would intuitively know that a non-symmetrical failure of one part of a structure would not allow the entire structure to come down vertically, but would tip it to one side much like chopping a tree down. That did not happen in any of these buildings and is suspect.

I am a Vietnam War veteran who served two tours, and have been a registered professional engineer for 24 years.
I witnessed the first tower fall and thought the symmetric collapse very unusual but thought with an exact combination of circumstances, it could happen, but the chances were the same as winning a lottery. When the second tower collapsed, I became very skeptical and remain so. The third building collapsing erases any possibility of this attack being conducted without on-the-ground support. I believe the air attack was known prior to the attack and used as a diversion to demolish the buildings for some yet unknown reason.

Bottom line, I do not feel that a legitimate investigation was undertaken. I write more thorough failure analysis reports on a daily basis than what was fed to the public and I. There is no reason for this whatsoever. This is the elephant in the room, and the American public deserves, and pays, for better than this.

The only formal education I have is grade school, however being in the audio visual industry I have had the opportunity to sit in many meetings and conferences of various topics which were typically attended by the tops in their fields. I spend a lot of time conducting research on the internet and learning what is needed to understand that research. I have spent the better part of 5 years going through the available data with regards to the attacks on 9-11.
While I cannot say with confidence whom is specifically responsible for the planning and execution of the attack on 9-11, I can definitely say that all three buildings were ultimately brought down with explosives. This is supported by several factors including, but not limited to the following...1. All three buildings came straight down at or close to free fall speeds with little to no resistance. 2. The planes that hit both Towers One and Two, did so at different angles yet they both fell in an almost identical fashion. 3. Eye witness statements of hearing explosions on the lower levels between the time the planes hit and the Towers came down. 4. Visual indicators such as a molten substance pouring from one building as well as puffs of smoke being emitted from the first Tower at the same time as the second Tower was attacked. This occurs prior to visual of the explosion entering the frame.

I grew-up in France until I was 8 years old, then in Iraq from 9 years old to 17 years old where I discovered war and atrocities. Countries from where I've traveled a lot are Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait etc. Still open on the world and interested in many subjects.
I grew up in a war country... How could I believe in 9/11? How could I believe that the army of the USA could let some planes attack the Towers? I've doubted till I saw the first pictures on TV and more again after all the lies that I've heard about it. I've never believed in propaganda since the war between Iran and Iraq and I'm searching on the net all information that I need to understand the NWO which is for me the 4th Reich...My father was working in a building company and he could not approved the way the Towers collapse...

The official explanation of what happened to the Twin Towers defies much of what we know about Newtonian Physics. It is, quite plainly, outside the realm of possibilities for this to have happened as currently maintained. Therefore, another explanation must exist.

It is obvious all the evidence was destroyed and no criminal investigation was even started when this happened. Three buildings fall down on one day and the builders aren't even brought to task? Come on. Gimme a break! Stop protecting the real perpetrators.

I will never forget getting up to everyone gathered at the TV looking at the smoking tower on the news that morning. They called off classes at the place I was staying. The fear that ensued and the panic and insecurity it caused the public and everyone i knew. I'd seen Michael Moore's Farenheit 9-11 but what convinced me was the evidence based documentary i saw on Hulu. I believe that only when the case of building 7 is reopened and re-examined by an independent entity and the real truth comes into the public forum will there be finally begin to be a healing for the American people and Veterans. Only when the real truth comes out made aware of the facts can there finally be any type of justice although it will likely rock the political and justice system possibly to the point of something never before experienced in this country.

I have been deeply troubled by the flaws in the 9/11 investigation and the refusal of our elected officials to recognize the need for a new study done by reputable professionals without any political restraints. Equally troubling is the refusal of the corporately controlled media in this country to adhere to their obligation to seek out and report the truth.

As a medical professional, I have enough education in the sciences to place more trust in the explanations offered by the engineers on your videos as well as sufficient doubt in the absence of evidence offered by the 'official' panel of 'experts' to support the creation of an objective panel to investigate the events of 9/11.
Everything I know about 9/11 is second-hand. At the least the official version stretches the bounds of credulity and would be an example of gross incompetence by professions that have proven themselves highly competent or there is a darker explanation that someone has attempted to cover up with a fair amount of success. We should always do our best to discover the truth otherwise we are all just 'storytellers'.

Steel does not turn to dust and crumble to nothing in freefall speed without any resistance so it's clear to me that all 3 towers had 'help' to collapse the way they did.
