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.

The mainstream story is inconsistent with everything I know about physics, strengh of materials, momentum, energy transfer. Building 7 is the smoking gun. There is no plausible explanation besides a controlled demolition. The explosives could not have been planted without government involvement. That BBC reported the collapse 25min early implicates the entire media and their cooperation. Shanksville is almost laughable with total absence of debris, and a ridiculously small hole.

After receiving my degree I started working as a private consultant in environmental industry. My task consisted of assessing hazardous waste sites and determining how best to clean them up. After doing that for 13 years I transitioned into state service where I was responsible for reviewing environmental reports for technical adequacy and compliance with state and federal regulation. I currently have 30 years experience in the environmental field.
There were too many unanswered questions and/or poorly answered ones about how the trade towers and Bld 7 collapsed that forced me to reevaluate the official explanation. I've begun to understand that the reason people view people like me as conspiracy 'nuts' has nothing to do with impossibility of a multistory building, let alone three of them, collapsing into their own footprints unless it's by planned demolition. Rather it has everything to do with the inability to accept that our government, or rogue elements within our government, may have had anything to do with it. When that fact is accepted as a possibility, then everything else falls into place.

At 1.8 million square feet, WTC 7 was possibly larger than any building on the West Coast. Bank of America (1.4 million sf) and the Transamerica Pyramid (.5 million sf), the two highest buildings in San Francisco, are together only slightly greater in area. Few Americans know that WTC 7 collapsed, even fewer know how big it was. I have read that its collapse was shown only one time on television; in its documentaries about the WTC collapse, PBS not only didn't explain the collapse of WTC7 but never even mentioned the collapse of a third building, because doing so would have undermined their conclusion that planes and jet fuel were responsible for the collapses. Much evidence exists of explosions throughout the WTC buildings. Persistent pools of 2000 degree metal can only be explained by the presence of thermite/thermate, used in planned demolitions. Squibs, puffs of smoke characteristic of planned demolitions, can be clearly seen in advance of the collapses. The official story does not explain the collapse of WTC7 or the collapse of the cores of WTC 1 and 2. YouTube videos of a BBC reporter announcing the collapse of WTC7 just prior to its actual collapse is convincing proof that the authorities had advance knowledge of its imminent collapse. There is just one explanation for the evidence associated with these collapses: demolition by expertly planned and placed explosives.

I am a Structural Engineer with over 43 years of experience in bridge design, construction engineering, research and development, and forensic engineering. I have been project designer for the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (Skyway, East Tie In, and Oakland Touch Down Detour) and the Benicia Martinez Bridge (CA) as well as numerous other bridges valued at over $200M. I am currently working on the planned demolition of the old San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (east cantilever truss) and the new Gerald Desmond Bridge at Long Beach Harbor in California. - - - - I have provided construction engineering services for several major bridges including precast and cast-in-place, prestressed concrete box girder bridges constructed by segmental methods, a major concrete arch structure. a cable suspension bridge, and steel truss bridges. - - - - I was Principal Investigator for the Applied Technology Council project ATC-32 for the development of seismic design recommendations for California bridges as well as serving on several other ATC projects. I have taught several courses on the seismic design and retrofitting of bridges for FHWA, Caltrans, UC Berkeley, etc., and was recipient of the ATC Award of Excellence for Extraordinary Achievement in Seismic Design and Retrofitting of Bridges. - - - - I have conducted forensic engineering studies and served as expert witness for the premature collapse during demolition of the Chile Bar Bridge in California, and participated in the forensic investigation of a steel eye-bar failure on the existing San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge.
It is clear from the additional evidence uncovered by A&E for 911truth that the people have not been told the whole truth about the building collapses during the events of 9/11/01. New evidence may point to sinister participation by elements within our own government. Because of the impact of these events on our current political and financial situation and on the future of our republic, it is imperative that the investigation be reopened to either lay these suspicions to rest or to expose any wrong doing. This will be necessary before we can heal as a nation.

Thirty-four years of mechanical, automobile and civil engineering experience. Formerly a licensed professional engineer in Texas. Earned my engineering degree in 1981 from the Rochester Institute of technology Kate Gleason College of Engineering. I had my co-op experience with Delco Products. After graduation I went to work for Texaco in Texas and have spent most of my career in Texas, except for nine years teaching Automotive Engineering in China and developing urban personal vehicles. Earned a Master of Science degree from Lamar University in 2004. Returned to the USA in 2016 for continuing work in the petrochemical industry. I am continuing to edit scientific papers for my colleagues in China.
I was suspicious when I saw the WTC twin towers collapse as in a controlled demolition. I became more convinced when thermite residues were found in the dust that spread over much of downtown Manhattan. I questioned whether it was a false flag or whether the towers were destroyed partly because they were mostly empty prior to the collapse; they were a money-losing proposition. The other fact was that they were over-insured. This came out after the collapse.

I studied Agricultural Economics at the Cornell University College of Agriculture. I am a blacksmith and environmental based builder concentrating on the design and construction of homes and work buildings utilizing local sources of materials and labor.
Being a blacksmith, I am acutely aware of the temperature that it takes to melt or even soften steel. I became aware of the destruction of WTC building 7 realizing that it was impossible to have the building collapse because of office fires. I then did my research and demand that real investigations by impartial investigators be undertaken utilizing the evidence so skillfully amassed by the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth and the Lawyers Committee for 911 Inquiry.

It is obvious to me that the WTC buildings were destroyed by means other than airplanes and fires. That this observation can be denied by so many people scares me much more than the trauma of 9/11 itself. What this proved was that the American public, dependent on a corporate controlled media, is susceptible to gas-lighting and propaganda. So ever since then we are continuing to be treated as though 'truth' is just another opinion and what those in power want, they will get, and what the American people want, hardly ever. Imagine anyone coming onto a television news show rationally asking for a serious investigation into the science of 9/11 and the crime of 9/11. They will be mocked as someone who has fallen for a conspiracy theory and not to be taken seriously. The subject will be changed, as everyone knows the 9/11 commission thoroughly answered every possible question about the subject. But...is that really the case?

My result 15 years after 9/11 is a frightening, namely an unfathomable, social habituation and toleration process of corruption, lobbyism, lies, war, deception, ignorance, law breaking and crime throughout the US government. Sadly, however, true! Instead of investing in education and renewable energy, the armament costs rise constantly.Mein Fazit 15 Jahre nach 9/11 ist ein erschreckendes, n'mlich ein unfassbarer gesellschaftlicher Gew'hnungs- und Tolerierungsprozess von Korruption, Lobbyismus, L'ge, Krieg, T'uschung, Ignoranz, Gesetzesbruch und Verbrechen durch die US Regierungen!!! Traurig aber wahr!!!Verdeckte Kriegsf'hrung und Ressourcen-Sicherung stehen 'ber dem h'chsten Gut eines Menschen.

I saw a building imploded in Cincinnati, OH, around 1994. As soon as I saw the news on 9/11, I knew the buildings in NYC were imploded. I knew that life would never be the same. And, the political environment today makes it even more depressing.

During my 3rd year at the University of Texas in Austin my father died of cancer. I immediately moved back home in Edinburg, TX in efforts to continue to run his Appraisal business that took him years of hard work to acquire. 12 years later I am still running The Appraisal Company which did not allow me to be able to finish college.
I was always concerned that the truth of what really happened that horrible day was not anywhere near what we were being told. This caused a deep and vibrant mistrust of the powers that be but I never had any irrefutable evidence. I would always watch any documentary regarding the events on 911 but many and most are way too speculative. After watching Experts Speak Out my life will NEVER be the same again. Its not a Conspiracy Theory it is a Conspiracy FACT. I am certain, with out a doubt that America has been attacked from within and been mislead for years. I pray for all those who have needlessly suffered.

I saw videos that to me seems far-fetched that a plane could drop a huge, well constructed building. - - It does not take a high school education to see that there is deception from our government officials. There was talk of the gold being removed from the towers before they were destroyed with a obvious controlled demolition They are insulting our intelligence by implying that another plane crashed into the pentagon.

I have operated heavy equipment for 40 years. In those 40 years, I worked on jobs that required blasting, so I have witnessed hundreds of explosions. The demolition crew sets there explosives to go off like a wave, it starts at one end and works its way across like a wave. The Twin Towers explosions looked exactly like the solid rock explosions I have witnessed.
I believe they brought down the first tower, because that fireman made it up to the impact site and they didn't want him putting out the fires, and I don't think they wanted him assessing the impact site and reporting what damage had or had not been done. That Fireman (Mr. Palmer) hot wired an elevator, had to fix his radio, ran up several hundred feet, and when he reached the impact site, he radioed that there were two isolated pockets of fire, should be able knock them out with two water lines. When he sent that message the people that blew the towers up decided to blow that tower first.

I have revisited my initial suspicion of deliberate 'free fall' in light of the subsequent global mayhem which directly followed and was facilitated by 9/11. I am amazed how few people are aware of WTC7 due to repeated media focus on traumatic visual imagery of WTC 1 and WTC 2. Maybe the building came down due to the shear force of journalistic / media vacuum!

The growing body of evidence that discredits the official story is troubling. It's doubly troubling because of how it's ignored, both by the general public and investigatory officials. There should be an intense interest in new information, information that will help us more fully understand just what happened that horrific day, and hold any new parties responsible for either direct involvement or being otherwise complicit. However, it's a struggle to even get anyone's attention when discussing the inconsistencies.
