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.

Professor emeritus, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Zollikerberg, Switzerland
Occupation: Professor
J'rg Schneider was appointed Professor of Structural Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in 1967. He retired in October 1999. Born in Cologne in 1934, he graduated as a civil engineer from the ETHZ in 1958 and worked as a research assistant until 1962. For another four years he worked in industry, where he mainly dealt with the problems of precast and prestressed concrete. As a professor at ETHZ, his research was in the field of safety and reliability in building construction. For many years he was active in various Swiss standardization committees. He was Chairman of the Safety Expert Group of AlpTransit (EGSi) which supported the project management of these two new transalpine railway tunnels in matters of operational safety. He was a member of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS) and its President for five years. For many years he was one of the Vice Presidents of the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE). In 1991 he was elected as an individual member of the Swiss Academy of Technical Sciences (SATW). The University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences (Boku) in Vienna awarded him an honorary doctorate degree in 1998 and, finally, he was elected honorary member of IABSE in 2002. In 2000, together with former employees and friends, he founded the engineering office Risk&Safety AG.
Clearly, I cannot believe that the George W. Bush administration willingly sacrificed 3000 lives. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But I am convinced that the group around Bush gratefully used this terrible event to start the long-planned war on terror. However, there are so many inconsistencies in the official reports on the tragic event and so many gaps, especially in the collapse of WTC7, that only a new independent investigation can confirm or delete suspicions and remove existing ambiguities. I therefore fully agree with the request to have the events re-examined independently. Of course, even a new investigation will not bring people back to life.

West Seneca, NY
Occupation: Product Engineer
I graduated from University at Buffalo, The State University of New York in 2011 with the degree of Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude. One out of five of my college years was spent interning at Moog Inc, the company for which I am now employed. I am now sort of an, 'all-purpose' or 'jack-of-all-trades' engineer, working mostly with the hydraulic and mechanical systems used in the flight controls of major commercial airliners. I'm one of the few privileged engineers who is able to connect together the design and development of a brand new primary flight control system to the full rate production of a new aircraft.
I would like to know the truth of what happened on 9/11 to cause the destruction of three skyscrapers. To this day I have not been informed sufficiently to know what really happened, or why. The publicly accepted reason for the collapse of the twin towers is an insufficient explanation. For the collapse of two modern steel structures to be caused by fire and burning jet fuel in such a controlled manner in such a short time span doesn't make sense to me. I suspect that governmental agencies may have been involved, providing me with false information about such a monumental event affecting American policy and law. I support the demand for a thorough, unbiased, truth-focused investigation using only evidence as a means to understanding these events.

I worked for Bausch and Lomb, Management & Technology Inc, and Eastman Kodak Company (both federal systems and commercial products). After retiring from Kodak I worked for a couple of small companies developing and making digital cameras. Then I started a new business with another engineer within Kodak making 3 dimensional images. I'm currently working on contract basis to help inventors learn how to patent their own inventions, help them make prototypes, and do patent searches. I am also working with another company to sell patents for licensing opportunities.
I was unaware of Bldg 7 for several years until my daughter told me about it. I had heard it was a controlled demolition due to the damage inside from fires started from the twin towers. However, I have grown increasingly skeptical about the planes causing the collapse of the twin towers because I could not see that damage causing the collapse of the floors below it. The outside materials peeling away from the structural steel were also unexplained. I would have thought the buildings would have collapsed more laterally in the direction of the impact points. I saved the Washington Journal interview with Mr. Gage to show my daughter and have decided to sign the petition.

After being made aware of the AE911 video by a technical associate, and watching the video, I was somewhat shocked to learn about the structural collapse of building 7. The associated videos prompted me to watch the collapse of the other buildings with a more critical eye. I was shocked to see the explosions and resulting ejections of structural materials that were occurring a few stories below the collapsing structure above. The real cause of these explosions needs to be determined and made known. Further, how this was accomplished, and by whom, also needs to be exposed.

I remember turning on my television that morning to see the first tower aflame and smoke pouring out - then the plane was shown, hitting the second tower - When the towers fell it looked like controlled demolition to me. Also, there was a report of the WTC 7 falling - before it fell - The official Reports have never seemed to correlate with what I saw - What on-scene First Responders were saying from Ground Zero - There was real time wall to wall coverage - of the events - which simply have never fit the Official narrative - I am most grateful for the expertise of A&E 9/11 - and your persistence at finding the facts - and educating with the information you have discovered. Without your efforts the Public would never get a proper accounting of the events prior-to and on that fateful day that changed our Nation forever.

Trained as first responder and did fire prevention at Chemical plant and also did basic lab testing on mineral oils.
The way the Towers fell made no sense, there had to be other forces at work to achieve the demolition of the Towers in my opinion. And molten steel from jet fuel, don't think the fire would be hot enough.

It is physically impossible for 110 story steel sky scrapers to catch fire, burn for less than an hour (south) then, in almost free fall speed, (11 seconds), fall into it's own footprint, incinerating and pulverizing everything into powder and burn for 3 months, fueled by office furniture and a small amount of jet fuel. Building 7 fell in 7 seconds into it's own footprint, supposedly fueled only by office furniture? If this is actually possible then every sky scraper in New York needs to be reevaluated for fire safety.

I was introduced to the truth by a good friend. At first I tried to maintain a neutral tone but as the evidence piled up, I cannot ignore what may be a possible injustice to both Americans and the global community at large.
This should investigated to the highest degree. If there was any way this could have been prevented, someone must stand for this atrocity against America.

I have a history in aerospace drafting and engineering support, but left the industry following 9/11 as we began making unjust wars - I was unwilling to supply defense contractors.I am now a full-time activist for the cause of liberation.
On the day it happened, one of the machinists in our shop said, and I will never forget this: 'Mark my words, this was an inside job.' I didn't even know what that phrase meant - but thanks to the internet, I learned. From the moment I watched the 'Pentagon Strike' video in 2005 and heard Randi Rhodes exposing holes in the commission report on the radio before being verbally threatened into silence - and especially after watching '9/11 Mysteries' and learning of the work of AE911 Truth - I have known in my heart that we were lied to.

I distrust government propaganda about the destruction of the twin towers and adjacent building 7 when there is the possibility that thermite caused their fatal collapse.

The way the Towers came down was like an implosion and why did Building 7 fall? Also, jet fuel burns up quickly and it takes a substantial amount of time to burn through steel beams. It would have to be over 1200 degrees over a very long extended time for the beams to have simply melted the way they claimed they had.
