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 worked with steel for 30 years either machining or fabricating it. My father worked 44 years making it @ Geneva Steel in Vinyard, Utah. Thus my interest. I have excelled in the manipulation of steel and have been in many positions of leadership i.e. Forman leadman etc. I now own a handyman bussiness and do ornamental iron work @ home in my shop. I have designed and built a brake press for bending and a set of power rolls for rolling steel.
I did not receive the propaganda on that day as I was traveling to a job site in Idaho. I first witnessed the second plane hit on a big screen TV, about a foot from my face, at a bar in Idaho. I was very traumatized. I later was informed of the propaganda through TV and public discourse. I always felt the blame did not fit, that the attacks by Muslims was incorrect. But just being a gut feeling and busy with life I suppressed these feelings. After the initial report came out my feelings strengthened to action and I investigated more. Looking back I found the basis of my doubts. The buildings collapsed in a way that my mind could not accept. With my knowledge of steel the official story could not be true. Then, seeing the Pentagon damage, I was convinced knowing that a plane cannot crash through walls and have enough velocity to crash through several more walls . I personally do not want to leave this event open for my children to wonder about as was done with the JFK assassination for my generation.

I just happened to be up working in the early a.m. PST when events started to unfold in NY, and so was able to see all the coverage from the start. What I saw seemed as though a staged production, although certainly a sinister and incredibly tragic one. The eventual collapse of WTC 1&2 seemed completely implausible due to plane crashes and fire damage. As it has turned out, the evidence now shows this to be the case. Even though the media appeared to have no shortage of experts with ready explanations, I was not satisfied with these official stories. My independent research over many years eventually lead me to the understanding of how these towers actually did collapse so catastrophically and disasterously.

I am a licensed civil engineer, land surveyor, and general engineering contractor in the State of California. I have my own practice in Chico, CA. Structural engineering, during the housing boom, was the majority of my practice. I have designed hundreds of building structures. Out of college, I worked as a bridge engineer specializing in post-tensioned concrete bridges. During college I took numerous structural engineering courses in addition to the normal requirements for a BS degree. I took: matrix analysis of structures, finite element programming, structural dynamics, advanced strength of materials, advanced concrete design.
As an experienced civil engineer, specializing in structural engineering, I do not believe that a local failure due to fire could cause the collapse that I witnessed on video (WTC 7). I find this very disturbing along with the evidence of explosive material in the dust. It is shocking to me that the evidence (the debris) was allowed to be destroyed.

I have viewed different videos of the collapses of the World Trade Center buildings and watched eyewitness accounts of the collapses. After considering people's accounts and the evidence demonstrating how demolished buildings go down, I have reason to believe the government's explanations are not clear or true. For these reasons a private party investigation is needed to uncover the truth of what happened.

There are many flaws in the official story and I think it has been demonstrated that the towers did not fall due to the impact of the planes alone, but from a planned demolition. It is a shame for the US and the whole world. I hope the case is reviewed soon and everyone involved is condemned. This looks like a Pearl Harbor II.

I believe there are too many things that have been covered up or never released wihch leads me to believe we do not know the truth. The evidence captured of the collapse on video is extremely strange, i.e. the windows exploding 20 stories and more below where the building was falling, free fall speed, and no evidence of any concrete floor and/or metal deck! If the building pancaked then where are the floor plates? Why was the steel never investigated and why was it sold to the Chinese so quickly? Too many things were covered up to not believe this was a conspiracy!

For me the elephant in the room was building no. 7.

I am a New Zealand registered architect with 35 years experience which includes being involved in the construction of several high rise office towers. The structural engineering explanation on how the Twin Towers could not collapse in the way they did by just being hit by airplanes makes a lot of sense to me. The columns would need to be taken out at the base (bomb sabotage in the basement) for the buildings to collapse like a deck of cards, in the way they did
I read the book Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert which gave a very plausible investigation of what possibly happened and who the players possibly were. Proving these terrorist acts is a real challenge as so much of the evidence has been destroyed or discredited. For me an inside job was required to pull it off in the military precision we all witnessed. The motive gave the Bush administration the reason to invade Iraq, (deja-vu for Pearl Harbour) as the Americans do not like going to war

I believe that all the evidence made available by AE911Truth proves beyond any doubt that explosives were used to bring down the towers - as believed by many people from the outset, simply from visual evidence and knowledge of basic physics.

The almost perfect vertical collapse of the 3 buildings seems to indicate the use of explosives at the ground level. Any partial shear or buckling of the columns at the point of impact would have likely caused the superstructures to lean over and fall out of the footprint of the buildings. However this theory as valid as it looks leaves a question mark as to how could it be possible to set up a large complicity that has not been neither discovered nor even suspected.

I received a Bachelor degree in design from UMass Amherst in 1990. I later worked for a structural engineering firm in Virginia for 5 years. In 1998 I received a masters degree in architecture from UVA. I worked as an architect for several years in Boston before moving to Paris in 2005. I have since worked on the design development for 3 high-rise office buildings throughout Europe. I am now the project architect and designer of a 48-storey office tower in La Defense (just outside of Paris) that is to be completed in 2013.
I have been suspicious of how the 3 buildings collapsed since watching them fall live on TV. My doubts about the alleged causes of the collapses have only increased the more I am involved in actual tower design.

I also have 17 years in private practice and have designed schools, performing arts theaters, fire stations. city buildings, and custom houses. I have designed major highway landscape restoration and have written guidelines for major architectural treatment of Interstate 90 infrastructure in Washington State. During my education, I took twenty five credit hours of structural engineering. I am a certified HUD/FHA plans examiner, and a certified FEMA post disaster building inspector.
As an architecture student, I was on the 100th floor of the WTC second tower during its construction. I was personally escorted to the top by one of the head engineers for the buildings. I had an opportunity to see the unclad structure as it was being built. There were no curtain or interior walls Given the size and height of these buildings, I find it totally incongruous that three buildings would pancake almost symmetrically. I would think that there would be uneven failure, melting of the structure, more to one side than another in at least one of the structures. The planes crashed into one side of the buildings, and unevenly - not on a level keel. That, to me would indicate more damage on one side of the building and more on one floor than another. All three buildings seemed to collapse inward on themselves with out relative little damage to nearby buildings in all directions. Why didn't at least one tower upper section tilt and fall to the side. And building seven was not square. If it collapsed from fire, why pancake instead of falling to one side or end where the fire was located? The fire was not in the exact middle. This is all too perfect - more reminiscent of a controlled demolition for ALL three structures. There are far too many coincidences to even discuss here.

There are areas showing upward vertical debris that leave question. I've been involved in architecture for a long time. Many of my projects have required controlled demolition. Upward vertical debris usually is the result of charges going off late in the demolition, much like that visible in the videos taken of the world trade center.

I had my own Architectural practice in San Diego for about 25 years, before which I was a head designer and Architect for SGPA Architects, and Mosher, Drew Architects in San Diego, California.
There is very little question in my mind that the collapse of all three WTC buildings was the result of planned controlled demolition based on the evidence that has been presented. Most importantly, all three buildings came down at nearly free-fall speed directly into their footprints, molten iron with traces of sulfur and magnesium were found underneath the rubble of all three buildings weeks after 9/11, and nano iron spheres and unexploded thermatic material has been found throughout the dust at numerous locations. This must be re-investigated based on all of the newly discovered, and the 911 commission report omitted evidence. Three thousand innocent people died that day, and to date, nearly that many have now died as a result of breathing the toxic dust produced by these murderous acts. Congress, we demand an new independent investigation with full subpoena power.

I have witnessed many controlled demolitions and when I watched the twin towers fall, I could not help to think of how similar what I was seeing on TV was to the buildings I saw being demolished in person. I was very surprised to receive the information in the main, I was not aware of this group and their efforts to have this matter investigated by people without any hidden agendas.

First of all, I feel a deep sadness for the families and the citizens of the world who lost their siblings, families and friends on 9/11. Regarding the official story, there is a high probability that it is not true. It's more like a well done movie script and scenario created by a politician with a big ego and a total disregard for other people.According to the Japanese architect who designed the twin towers, they were designed to withstand such a crisis or accident. Anyway, we can't understand how and why it happened without a new investigation. The picture will be blurred until that happens.

There are hundreds of additional facts that contradict the official story of 9/11. It is time for a truly independent investigation that addresses all the questions asked by the citizens. - - 9/11 was one of the most pivotal events in world history. Its impact will be felt for years to come. We owe it to ourselves to go beyond the sound bites and the simplified official story. This is an extremely complicated story with numerous players and motives. The 9/11 time line facts don't all make sense or fit neatly together. It's a story full of espionage, deceit, and lies. But if there are forces out there tricking us, they can only succeed if we, the general public, remain ignorant and passive.

It looks like the buildings fell as though demolition had been intended.
