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 earned one degree in engineering physics, and a graduate degree in nuclear engineering.
It is clear from my own research into the matter that the government is not telling us the whole story about 9/11. This does not imply 9/11 was a government conspiracy, but it does mean that important facts are being withheld from a public that has a right to know them. I believe the focus should be on Building 7, which underwent a symmetrical collapse that did not account for the mass resistance of the vertical pillars that were designed to hold the building up in the first place.

I have 20 years of experience in designing large scale residential projects. In the capacity of co-owner of an internationally known architects office I have (co-) designed and coordinated various national and international projects. Being responsible from the conceptual stage to completion I have led project teams with colleagues from all over the world. In 2001 I was working on a project that included 2 identical 21-floor apartment towers in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. One morning I had a discussion with the Fire Department regarding the fire equipment in the buildings. The firemen insisted that the capacity of the water-pump had to be twice as much as designed. They reckoned with simultaneous fires in both towers. I considered their demand to be too much, because in my opinion the chance of a fire in both towers at the same time would be so negligible small that a more economic pump would be sufficient. The firemen held their position. It was September 11, around 10 AM GMT. Less than 4 hours before the tragedy at the WTC...
The sudden collapses on that day surprised me, but I dismissed that feeling for almost 5 years. The release of the movie 'Flight 93' triggered me to finally do some research on the internet. After sifting through a lot of nonsensical material about the events of 9/11, for me the website of AE911Truth provided the most trustworthy arguments, leaving me with only one conclusion: the official explanation is a lie. And because of this lie the 21st century has turned into a nightmare for the entire world. I hope the alarm clock of truth will wake up all of us soon.

1) The hole in the fassade was not big enough for the named type of Boeing plane. 2) The main structure of WTC would have supported a plane crash. 3) WTC 1,2, & 7 buildings where clearly a professional demolitions, in my opinion. 4) Pentagon crash was not the officially named type of civil Boeing plane. the damages look like being caused by a hawk or some similar flying object.

Well-rounded engineering career, specializing in electronics, instruments, control and computers. Mechanics/Design/Environmental Studies/Materials Science/Mathematical modeling and law were also studied.
The collapses were framed by the media and official investigations as if there was little doubt in their conclusions on collapse. Taking a fresh look at the collapses 3 years ago woke up my rational thinking and education to the fact that the evidence and scientific numbers didn't add up in the disciplines of mechanics and materials. They made it easy for people to imagine that the initial events alone could actually cause the WTC 1, 2 and 7 to collapse as they did.

Clayton J. Simmons, PE
B.S.C.E., Brigham Young University
Santa Rosa, CA
Mr. Simmons studied at Brigham Young University, graduating with degrees in Russian and Civil & Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in structures. He had the unique privilege of being one of Dr. Steven Jones' physics students prior to 9/11, learning from him the principles of conservation of energy and momentum. Following his formal training, he returned to his native Santa Rosa, California and has worked for the past three years in the engineering profession, analyzing and designing water-based infrastructure and residential structures.
My initial exposure to the case for controlled demolition was as a result of a coworker, Ron Brookman, giving me a copy of one of Dr. Jones' papers. Knowing that I had attended BYU, Ron asked me if I had heard of him. I informed him that I had a physics class from him and vouched for his integrity as a scholar and person. Then I read the article. I was not taken easily by the hypotheses at first, and have to admit that, while the science was well-founded, my conscience did not want to let me accept this alternative theory and its startling consequences. I found myself challenging the points made, especially the symmetrical fall theory, and tried mentally to reason my way out of what I was slowly becoming convinced of. In the end, the science -- primarily, the near-freefall speed at which the buildings came down and the evidence of incendiaries in the rubble -- the testimonies, the pictures and video footage, and the structural drawings, which show a central core around which, even if the floors did progressively collapse due to weakening of the steel by heat, would have been left intact -- all these things convinced me that we did not have the full story as provided by NIST, FEMA, ASCE, and the WTC buildings' own structural engineer, Leslie Robertson. Getting to the bottom of what happened on 9/11 requires another serious look at the evidence, much of which has already been destroyed. Our representatives in Congress need to stand up and speak for us, not bow to the powers that, while they do much good, also have a tendency to threaten, incite fear in, and weaken us. I saw a bumper sticker that reads We must speak up, even if our voices shake. Such is the case here. Money, perceived civil order, and temporary stability are not worth rejecting truth - ever. In the end, the hard truth must be accepted, whatever it may be. We must suffer the consequences of our shameful mistakes and then start to heal the wounds. I am concerned with my profession's involvement in this apparent cover up and the media's refusal to address important questions for the reasons stated above. Nothing will happen and this will all evolve into another conspiracy theory, if it has not already, if we don't speak up resolutely now. Finally, I feel deeply for those whose loved ones were lost on 9/11 and indirectly through our questionable involvement in international affairs. I realize that my support of additional inquiries into what happened may seem like stirring the pot for people who simply want closure and to move on. I love my country and the unprecedented freedoms it provides. In order to preserve these freedoms, however, I feel that we must pursue the truth and responsibly deal with it, not close our eyes to it because of how painful it is.

I am not an architect or a structural designer. I would not attempt to argue against such professionals.
I have viewed every article, video, etc. that I could find both pro & con. I find no believable evidence to support the official claim and overwhelming evidence to refute it. There can be only one reason not to open a truly independent investigation. The truth lies in the decision.

Occupation: Metal Stud Framer Drywall Installer
I am a born and raised commercial metal stud framer/drywall lather and applied technologist. I graduated in 2001 at the top of my class of the 46 northern California counties carpenters union Drywall/Lather's apprenticeship training. I am a certified metal stud framer/drywall installer with ten years documented in the drywall lathers union, 6 years apprenticeship training. All hours logged and documented. Born and raised into the trade with my entire lifetime evolving within metal framing, drywall, lath and plaster, and all applications and building systems. My father was project manager/field foreman supervisor with 40 years experience on a majority of the biggest building projects in California since 1970.
I would like to add mostly to some important details that I have not heard mentioned at all. During my career building elevator shafts, fire corridors, and fire safe stairway escapes, I would like to remind anyone who has ever seen a fire sprinkler system activated, which is activated without delay when the diesel tractor engine starts, even just one little sprinkler has an amazing amount of water within a minute or two, and both WTC buildings would have had very noticeable amounts of water drenching inside and out. The buildings most likely would have had water gushing outside of the building. Even if the main line was severed, the loss of pressure in line would have caused an unbelievable amount of water being pumped from the system engine running at full blast. From my experience, after an hour or two, the entire area would have been flooded and even run into the street for blocks. As for Building 7, the sprinkler system would have eliminated any source of heat.

I've watched countless videos of the eyewitness reports. The majority of people reported hearing blasts in the basements or lower levels of both WTC before the planes hit. I also noticed several explosions when the buildings were falling.

Have worked in the construction field for multiple years and have a general understanding structures and the natural forces that apply. A long interest in physics, history, and the knowledge to be able to separate personal intuition from emotion.
As a 13 year old boy I was completely horrified as I watched the Towers fall into a cloud of smoke and rubble, and even then, having no prior experience with structures I knew that the collapse of the Towers defied my sense of logic and common sense. That intuition of something being wrong led to personal investigation, the discovery of Building 7, and the many holes that exist in the official story today. History has repeated itself, and it's time to wake up. Re-open the 9/11 investigation now!

I have been enrolled in gifted education programs since grade 1 and have always been able to use deduction and critical thinking to associate evidence in many forms. There are too many lies surrounding 9/11, it's time for the truth to come out.
It is obvious after reviewing the videos of each buildings collapse that it would be absolutely impossible to bring them down in that manner without some form of explosives. I have witnessed building collapses first hand and I can tell you that a plane hitting the 80th+ floor of a skyscraper will not bring it down into it's own footprint.
