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'm a civil engineer specializing in structural works (buildings, bridges and tanks). I practice mainly in Spain.
Society needs to know if large fires alone could have been enough to bring down the WTC buildings. Was impact damage a necessary factor? Further research into the cause of the 9/11 collapses can be applied to improve the structural safety of existing or future skyscrapers.

Over 40 years in building, structural and civil design and heavy engineering construction; 34 years as principal. Have forensic experience, both design and construction. Tunnel, highway, bridge, industrial, institutional, dam & power plant experience.
After watching the precision with which the towers collapsed, I was then, and remain today, of the opinion that it was a controlled demo job. I did calculations at the time estimating that the rubble pile was much too small...material had to disappear/ vaporize in order for the pile to be as small as it was. Conservatively, the pile of rubble would have to have been about 30 stories deep (including accounting for the 7 stories below grade being packed tight with debris, no air spaces!); a 'pyramid' with a base of 600 ft square. Anyone who has ever witnessed a controlled demolition would have immediately recognized its 'signature in this collapse. Not likely to cut off all of the columns on only one side of the building and still have it come down vertically, virtually within its own footprint, like it did.

The official nationwide publication of a videotaped event collapse of the 2 WTC buildings showed that the concrete construction within those buildings descended as dust and did not display what would have been more in line with an airplane crash - large pieces of concrete.

I was born and raised in California, some college, worked in restaurants, hotels, events centers and aviation litigation services, volunteer.
The evidence suggests that buildings 1, 2 and 7 were most likely brought down in some form of explosive controlled demolition. The peer reviewed paper by an International Team of Scientists regarding the discovery of Nanothermite in the dust is very compelling.

I am totally amazed by how the towers free-felled like an ordinary demolition where you remove all the support structure at exactly the right time. That is also the case of building 7. which Larry Silverstein (The controller of the destroyed WTC complex) stated was pulled with the help of FDNY. And the fact that BBC had prior knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 and reported of its collapse 20 minutes before it actually happened.

35 years in the design and development of fluid power pumps, valves and related equipment for the agriculture, construction and aircraft industries, including failure analysis and supervisory positions. After retiring have performed pre-purchase home inspections on over 100 properties. For fun have converted to electric power and driven for three years a 1981 VW Rabbit.
I was shocked to learn that Bldg.7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Investigation Report, as it is in my mind the key event in questioning all of the happenings on 9/11. But when few people even know that the building existed, it is difficult to discuss with them what happened to it and how it relates to the overall picture.

I studied in the Engineering college of Geneva. My principal subjects were nuclear physic, materials knowledge, and electronics. I'm currently working in measurement electronics.
When I saw the collapse for the first time in 2001, I only thought it was strange that the towers did not fall against the others but only on their own footprint. In 2006 I studied this question seriously and concluded the collapse could not have been possible without explosives put inside the buildings.

Occupation: Mechanical Design Engineer
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Have worked at Boeing (Everett and Renton) in mechanical flight controls group. While at Boeing, I participated in an accident investigation and witnessed how many parts (hydraulic actuators for spoilers, elevators, and rudder) were salvageable despite the high-speed impact of that crash (Silk Air 185.) Have also worked at Raytheon Missile Systems (Tucson, AZ) in EKV seeker design group. Have also worked at ITT (Huntsville, AL) on lethality testing (high-speed (~mach 2.5 - 6) impacts to verify lethality of missiles.) Currently work at Integration, Innovation, Inc. a defense contractor working on hypersonic missile design.
I skipped work on 9/11 to watch the whole day's coverage of the various attacks (WTC, Pentagon, Shanksville.) I absolutely remember hearing explosions, hearing people describe explosions, watching WTC 7 go down (I always knew 3 buildings went down that day.)All of the high-speed impact debris that I have examined have left significant portions of the original vehicle clearly identifiable and not entirely vaporized. The Silk Air plane hit the water above mach 1. Other identifiable debris I have handled have been from impacts from mach 2.5 to mach 5.None of the 9/11 events involved such high-speed impacts. Therefore, HUGE amounts of clearly identifiable debris should have been recovered from the World Trade Center, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. Otherwise, the official story doesn't make sense.

Electronics engineering degree (BSEET), DeVry Institute of Technology, 1980. Worked at Hewlett Packard for five years, customer service engineer - repairing computers. Then became manager of the computer data network for Share Health Plan, which was merged in Charter Medical and became United HealthCare, Inc. I was the person in charge of the data network for five years. In 1989 I became a telecommunications Instructor for Alexandria Technical College in Minnesota. In 1990 I left there to work overseas in Romania (with a second period, 2010 - 2014). In 1997 I returned to Michigan and in 2000 I started my own business repairing and selling clocks and watches, which I continue to this day.
I have watched many documentaries about 9/11 as well as listened to many interviews, etc. The logical conclusion that any educated person must come to is that WTC Building 7 was demolished. The published accounts of that day are not believed by the majority of people that I talk to, both in the USA and overseas. This must be disclosed to the American people if there is ever to be trust in what the Government publishes in the future. That trust has been broken. It must be regained by transparency and truth. Thank you. Tim Bale.

As a Union Boilermaker, I have worked in all phases of heavy industry, including many years of working at various steel mills. I have done both erection of steel and demolition of all types of steel vessels. I have personally used oxygen/ayct. torches and also cut 3'' thick steel using oxygen lances on many occasions and understand the temperature and amount of oxygen required to melt carbon steel. I also have used thermite several times at a Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) at Sparows Point Steelmill in Baltimore to prevent 300 ton ladles full of iron from getting a slag cap.

Controlled demolitions look very similar. Aluminum doesn't penetrate steel. Jet fuel doesn't melt steel.

The entire world deserves the truth, which is clearly not indicated by the official investigation about the events occurred on 9/11. I do belive that the collapse of the 3 buildings can not be the result of the jet fuel and the resulting fires. Accordingly, further investigation are completly necessary!

As a financial consultant my goal is to educate my clients as to what has happened to our monetary system so they can make more informed decisions for their financial future. The most important area that I educate my clients on is the Federal Reserve.
I am not an engineer or have any professional experience in building large buildings but what struck me as odd right from the beginning were three main points. The first point is how could a building struck by a plane at the top of the building on one side come down in its foot print? Shouldn't it have toppled to the weakened side where the plane hit? The second point is how could two buildings virtually come down in their own foot print when hit by planes at the top portion of the buildings? The third point is how could a third building come down in its foot print when no other buildings between it and the Twin Towers were demolished as well? My trust in what is provided to the public from Washington DC is always suspect as to who is behind this, not telling the truth.
