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 Bachelor of Engineering from Stony Brook University 1981. I have an MSEE from Stanford University 1982. I have a Concentration in Systems Engineering. I have studied statics and dynamics, as well as Structural Theory. I am very familiar with the work of Dr. Fazlur Kahn. I am also very familiar with the work of Minoru Yamasaki, including his penchant for safety and over-design as well of his use of Vierendeel Truss technology. I have studied modern structural systems from the 1930's designs of NYC's Great Towers to the WTC, to the Hancock and Willis Towers, to modern Tube-In-Tube and Bundled Tube consruction systems, and all other major modern super-tall structures among which are the Petronas Towers, The Jin Mao Tower, Taipei 101 and of course the Burj Kalifa. I have studied the drawings of WTC ONE and WTC TWO. I have also studied the consruction technology of very large suspension bridges, the technology of Gravity and Arch Dams and much, much more. I have an intimate knowledge of highly advanced Mathematics. I also have a 99.994 percentile IQ.
From the very first time that I viewed the Video of the collapse of the South Tower I just knew that something was very, very wrong. I saw exploding dust in all directions, yet no images of the tower itself, nor it's floor by floor collapse. I immediately purchased the FEMA Building Performace Study, the 9/11 Commission Report and finally the NIST Study. My initial concerns were twofold, first there was not enough potential energy to collapse any more than 5 to ten stories due to gravity loading, and second the fires were not of any length of time nor hot enough to weaken the structural steel to a level of plasticity. I immediately started to research every document that I could find. And I learned more and more. In addition, the collapse of Tower 7 some seven hours later was indisputably due to controlled demolition. All of my research led me to the conclusion that the official explanation was totally incorrect.

I have worked in Civil and Structural Engineering since 1984. I currently work as a structural engineer designing projects for Alaska's oil industry. I have also done forensic engineering for repair of fire damaged buildings.
Although I have seen fires cause steel members to warp seriously, I have not seen fire cause steel buildings to collapse. On the contrary, I have seen steel buildings suffer fire damage yet remain standing. A collapse due to fire damage would start at the first member to fail, and global failure would cascade asymmetrically from there. Controlled demolition is the best explanation for what we saw at the 3 WTC buildings.

I said on 12 Sept 2001 that the tower collapses were not due only to aircraft impact and fuel fire. Official explanation of collapses scientifically impossible. Realize that Americans need time to de-traumatize; then maybe to understand the overall plan by persons-yet unknown who seem to control this and possibly future US Administrations. Am obviously concerned about the implications for Canada.

I have an MBA and work as a supervising engineer responsible for civil engineering (grading, drainage, walls, roads, etc.) of new substations for a large public utility.
I have always wondered why the towers didn't topple over at the weakened points where the planes hit them, if they were going to fall at all. If the planes and fires had actually caused the collapse, the buildings would have toppled over, not fallen symmetrically straight down at free fall acceleration.

To me it has been obvious that controlled demolition and not plane crashes & fire were the causes of the WTC collapses since I saw the first TV reports on 9/11, 2001. The blatantly dishonest official story, the cover up and media efforts to hide the obvious are frankly very scary to me. A new and thorough investigation is absolutely needed, but it must be conducted by those outside the influence of the perpetrators. Perhaps this new investigation is a task for a foreign government, possibly Canada, or the UN.

I always have been a firm believer that the United States Government have been responsible for the events on 9/11 and use a terrorist plot to cover up their actions. The American people as a whole are dumb and gullible and bought into it without question. I am not a demolition expert but I understand physics and believe that explosives are the only way possible to bring down all three buildings.

I believe that 9/11 was a planned event. None of the 'evidence' provided makes sense. As an ironworker, I have good knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of heavy iron, and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to weaken the steel to make it collapse.

My husband was scheduled to fly to LA on American flight 11 on 9/11 but missed his flight due to illness (the hand of God?). The wife of our high school's asst principal was on that flight, as well as my mother's best friend's daughter (a TJ Maxx executive), and our tailor's wife.This tragedy struck so many lives locally that it is offensive when people suggest the planes were not real.Getting to the truth of what happened that day is critical if we are to get beyond the persistent dis- and mis-information. It is time for America to wake up to the criminal agenda.

I am an every day middle class rut citizen here in The U.S. born and raised. I have no experience with architecture at all and am a professional musician. I finished High School as well as my first two years of college before realizing it was a waste of my money, spend money to become another slave for this country, no thank you.
I may not be an architect, but I knew from the very beginning there was something VERY wrong with what happened on 9-11. Too many coincidences that couldn't just be coincidence. Now, even science is proving that the American people as well as the world were lied to.

The statements about what happened do not make sense. Experts say that no Steel building has ever been destroyed by fire, and building 7 wasn't even hit, yet went down as a demolition. Later witnesses (5 years later when required by law) the firemen said they heard explosions. The clamp down on interceptor planes, and the loss of video evidence from the Pentagon attack, among many other things, points to an inside job. It needs to be objectively investigated.

Based on the evidence that I view through the internet... Facebook, YouTube and other Internet sources... It appears that there are a very large amount of evidence that the 9/11 incident was clearly an inside job... From the hijackers, the air planes, the way the buildings fell, to the witnesses, the extraordinary heat at the bottom of the buildings after they had fallen etc... There are a lot of questions that needs to be answered...

Americans were lied to on September 11th, 2001. Our democratically elected leaders were complicit in the one of the most dastardly crimes in history. This lie and cover up has brought our country to the point of no return unless we the general population can begin to think critically.

I am currently a student at Eastern Washington University going for a degree in Biology Chemistry. My family has never supported the reported 9/11 statements and therefore have not brought my brother or myself up in believing those statements. My education on that day has come from independent research, documentaries, interviews and conversations had with my family, mostly my brother concerning evidence that we found disproving what we as citizens were told to be true.
I was just a child when it happened. Still in elementary school. I remember not even knowing the World Trade Centers were in America. I just didn't understand what was happening. At school us kids thought it seemed kind of cool. Obviously we just didn't understand the magnitude of the event just yet. We thought of it as just big airplanes flying around doing tricks and really big buildings. There was fire and explosions. To kids all of that sounds pretty neat, like a movie. We had no idea of the repercussions following that day. Our teachers were hardly in class that day it seemed and when they were they looked scared or worried. Us kids had no idea how many people died and how many would die following that day. At the end of the school day there was an assembly called for whole the school. They told us that on the other side of the country two large planes crashed into the side of a very tall and important building with a lot of people inside. A lot of people died... They didn't tell us that it was terrorists or just a crashing plane. They never said what caused it to crash, probably to not scare us too much or maybe they knew we wouldn't understand anyways. But we're not kids anymore... I am 95% sure now that it wasn't a terrorist and sure wasn't a surprise attack when it happened. I know that Larry Silverstein made huge profits after 9/11. I believe Israel played a huge part in the attacks and the planning along with some parts of our own government system. I believe al-Qaeda was created and funded by the U.S. Government. I could continue. Uncovering what really happened that day should be high on the priority list. I support this petition.

As a layperson, I had doubt about the official versions on this incident, especially after observing the way the buildings collapsed, and the finger pointings even before thorough investigations had been done. I had a strong inclination that 9/11 had been used as an excuse by the US to invade Afghanistan resulting in the massacres of tens of thousands of innocent Afghans, especially children, women and the elderly. Such atrocities must not be condoned and every culprit, the 9/11 and the resultant unjustified invasion of Afghanistan must be brought to justice and punished for his/her crimes. For this to happen, a truly independent commission of enquiries with subpoena power must be established to conduct investigations on the matter and bring every culprit to justice.
