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.

On 9/11, I was just starting 7th grade, throughout the day students were leaving class to go home, they were being picked up by their parents. The students in middle school, such as myself, had not been told of what happened, they only told the high school students for some reason. When I got home my father surprised me because he was home early. As I walked into the house I saw him watching CNN. They were just showing the video of the collapse and the towers burning earlier that day. He told me that the Department of National Defense, which he worked for, had sent everyone home after the second plane hit. My initial reaction after seeing the footage of the Twin Towers collapsing was: It looks like a controlled demolition. My father went on to tell me that Arab extremists had attacked the building by flying hijacked planes into it and that the impact of the planes had caused the buildings to collapse. I repeated again But it looks like a controlled demolition. Of course at the time I was only 12 years old and did not realize the implications of it being a controlled demolition. After watching the TV footage CNN had on replay, I later asked him Why would anybody attack a building full of innocent people. It doesn't make sense. He replied: Well that's Muslim extremists for you, they're just crazy. It just didn't make sense to me. That is all I really remember from my experience on the day of September 11th 2001.

And as a libertarian who has abandoned both political parties...dissent is the right of the citizen and the duty of the patriot. Those of us who doubt the official story must act on behalf of the fallen on 9/11. Considering the shameful and embarrassing state of journalism, 9/11 truthers must act to inform and educate as many people of conscience as we can.

Doubts of the credibility of the whole public story of 9/11 - spent hours on the web trying to understand the specifics of the event: time lines, the actions surrounding 9/11 both before and after, evidence presented or lack thereof. The more I looked the more skeptical I have become.

Whatever happened to the dewatering equipment at the bottom of WTC 2 (I think that's where it is)? Does everyone know about the night club in one of the towers and the trenches on all of the floors?

The buildings were probably destroyed by a combination of aluminothermic cutter charges and conventional high explosives. The TT demolitions were more explosive than implosive. Thermal radiation is the scientific crowbar to pry this open.

It has been my professional opinion since 2006, when I started working with AE911 Truth, that the Government reports regarding the building collapses were not correct. The reports have contradictions, failures to follow investigation norms, and ignoring / avoiding evidence that does not agree with the hypothesis put forth by the government.

As disturbing as it may be, WTC 1, 2 & 7 were quite obviously brought down in a controlled manner. The evidence of demolition is right there in front of us. For this, we have us to thank: all the people who've embraced today's technology and have made this evidence available to the masses and all those who've sought to make that evidence understandable. Given the resistance we face in making this fact known, and thus in getting to the Truth, I'd like to leave you with two quotes I find particularly appropriate: 1. There are none so blind as those who will not see. 2. The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong.

On 9/11 I took a short cut to where I would have been doing the make up for a Fashion Week show. When I got off the subway, the North Tower had been hit. All those around me kept saying it was an accident & a small plane that had hit. A few minutes later, I heard a thunderous noise coming from the NW. I looked to the Hudson & saw the second aircraft. I was standing on the North side of the South Tower. The aircraft hit high above my head. I didn't run but attempted to dodge all that was raining down. During this time, all I remember was jumping out of my skin numerous times from massive explosions which went off in both the North & South Towers causing even more debris. It wasn't until I began researching what happened that day, as the media never talked about anything I saw, including what I heard & smelled, that I finally found out the truth. The actions of not only our government but those around the world is chiefly due to the official 9/11 tale that continues to haunt me and will until the truth is revealed to all.
I was at the North side of the South Tower when I watched the second aircraft fly down the Hudson and crash into the South Tower directly above my head. Unlike most, I didn't run, I had gone into shock & did my best to dodge all that was raining down upon me. What I saw, heard, smelled, was never talked about within our media. There were many very loud explosions which made me jump out of my skin & after each, more debris, body parts, etc. came raining down upon me. I have no recollection of how long I was there, nor how I got to the ferry to New Jersey. But right as I was getting on the ferry, the South Tower collapsed. I surely would have been dead. After moving back to California in 10 days, I received EMDR treatments for my PTSD, I began researching the truth of all I experienced that day because all the media accounts contradicted everything I know I saw, heard, smelled, etc. This opened a Pandora's box so massive & unending that I continue to research to this day. The health problems I have continued to have since then are many. The CDC tested me & said I was fine. I went to be tested independently with the results showing positive for 5 very toxic substances that are found in bombs, not buildings. Those who heard, saw & experienced the bombs going off please come forward so we can join together as a force to bring about justice & the truth of what honestly happened that day.

I am a social worker who was living in NYC 9/11/01. Soon after I had training in the ACS Children's Center on 29th St. & 1st Ave., which was converted to an emergency center for families trying to find if any loved ones survived WTC, plastered with victims' photos. Walking by the local Fire Station with co-workers, we viewed the memorial to Firemen that Station lost in WTC, and the Firemen stared into our eyes silently, giving us the strong sense they wanted to tell us something but couldn't. It makes sense now that I am hearing they are being threatened with jobs/ pensions, etc. if they disclose what happened in WTC. Handing out DVDs in a local group for the 911 Truth Movement via 911truth.org, I met the 1st person to tell me they were in WTC, who said he heard sequenced explosive detonations on many floors. This corroborates all the news footage I'm only seeing now on YouTube.com taken that day of survivors.
In the PBS Documentary 'Why the Towers Fell,' building owner Silverstein said of Tower 7 the decision was made to pull it. It takes weeks to set up a demolition, proving it was planned. Silverstein profited $500 million off the insurance of Tower 7, plus BILLIONS off 1 & 2. Tower 7 had SEC files on Enron/WorldCom $MULTI-BILLION scam investigation, which was dropped as files were lost. Enron & WorldCom have Illuminati symbols in their logos, as found on the back of a dollar. Besides that & the fact that no video of a plane crashing into the Pentagon or Shanksville PA (near Pittsburgh) are produced, the strongest proof may be that a plane allegedly hit the most militarily protected building on earth 80 minutes after the 1st hijacking. There's no way it wouldn't have been shot down.

I've watched just about every movie and film clip that has been posted on the internet and I am absolutely convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, orchestrated by the Bush / Cheney White House, the CIA, and the FBI with the aid of Israel. Professor Stephen Jones analysis of the use of thermite to aid in the destruction of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 is indespituble. We have a sick government.

The official 9/11 story seems to violate laws of physics and engineering analysis, specifically with respect to the collapse acceleration and the temperatures of molten iron. The only explanation that seems to be in accordance with all observations is controlled demolition.

Watching the symmetry in which all three three towers collapsed directly into their individual footprint was both momentarily hypnotic and totally unbelievable. During the myriad of replays I viewed, before and during each tower collapse, I saw and heard different events taking place that fully convinced me other forces were at play bringing these buildings down. To name a few: 1) explosions coupled with smoke appearing at the base of the towers moments before the collapse. 2) squibs appearing to shoot out from various floors far below the initial damage area. 3) the manner in which the dust and smoke seemed to be expelled up and out from the building like an explosion as it descended. What also disturbed me was the area was totally void of being treated like a crime scene by police and government officials. Structural material was readily hauled away and shipped to foreign lands without any scientific or engineering analysis being performed. Having spent over 23 years in the military I knew in my gut with the speed at which critical evidence was disappearing and flat out lies being told by government agents, i.e. Like the aircraft black boxes found by fireman and taken by FBI agents, then making statements they weren't found. Mohammad Atta's wallet found in pristine condition a couple blocks away. Well gentleman, I smell the same rat I smelled at various times during my military career. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it until the truth is known and all involved held fully accountable, regardless of how far up the chain this trail leads us. There WILL be accountability for 9/11...

I was Senior Project Design Engineer in charge of the design of the electrical systems for the WTC Complex in NY. Employed by the consulting and engineering firm, Joseph R. Loring & Associates, Inc., I was also a licensed Professional Engineer and was directly associated with ongoing projects at WTC for some 35 years before retiring in mid 1997. Though an electrical engineer by trade, I was also very familiar with the structures and their conceptual design parameters.
On September 11, I watched the live TV broadcast of the progressive collapse of the World Trade Towers with disbelief, as the mass and strength of the structure should have survived the localized damage caused by the planes and burning jet fuel. I viewed the presentation of Richard Gage and other related material, which compels me to believe that the fuel and planes alone did not bring the Towers down. I, therefore, support the proposal to form an international group of professionals to investigate all plausible causes for the virtual freefall and the almost total destruction of the WTC structures.

One, just one angle-cut column with the slag on the (wrong), outside (which indicates it was cut from within!?) as found on many pictures, is sufficient proof of prepared demolition. During clean-up, I understand, Thermate or Thermite wasn't used. I know a good and proper heavy steel-cut done by blow torch when I see one, many years regular on the job. The very irregular ragged, deep cratered cuts I see on pictures of the various column parts aren't done by blow torch. Long before 9/11 the USA government knew what was coming, warned many times by various services inland and foreign. Instead of dealing with these threats properly, rogue forces, NWO of government anticipated these events by preparing the WTC buildings with explosives and also planning large scale black ops involving air traffic control. When the fatal day came, they were prepared.

1. WTC 1 & 2 collapse at or above free fall speed. 2. WTC 7 collapse with no aircraft impact and sparse fire damage. 3. Aircraft was 0.04% of total building mass. 4. The collapses did not fall according to the basic laws conservation of momentum & energy and angular momentum. 5. Too much more to list.

I have studied the collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7 for a while now and have come to the conclusion that they were brought down in a controlled demolition. The theory that it collapsed from damage and fire violates several laws of physics. The two most important being the Law of Conservation of Momentum and the law of Angular Momentum. Building 7 was a classic example of a controlled demolition. The fact the Building 7 was never mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report is alarming. We need a new investigation into the events of 9/11.

Thermite cannot be ignited below 4000 degrees-Fahrenheit. Jet fuel burns no hotter than 1800-2000 degrees-Fahrenheit. The mere existence of thermite products in the WTC shows that it could not be ignited by the burning jet fuel. Just to ignite the thermite, there is a discrepancy of 2000 degrees-Fahrenheit.

My sister was interviewed in the movie by Guy Smith ''The Conspiracy Files'' because she was on that plane in Cleveland with the bomb threat. Both my sisters and my brother in law flew to California on 11, Sept. 2001, their flight departed Boston same time as the two that crashed. Because they switched airlines that changed everything. They always flew that United flight to California every year. I was at Toyota in Needham MA unaware waiting for the counter person he was watching TV in the back room with everyone else. When he finally came to the front and told me a plane had hit the WTC I tried to remember which airline and if their plane could have been it. Later I went to their house and played the telephone answering machine the first message was from my niece telling me that they weren't on that plane. Okay now, when the south tower fell, my first exact thought was ''wow it didn't fall over it went straight down'' that was my first thought, and it turns out that my first instincts were right again they usually are correct. Something is rotten in Denmark.

Mr. Simmons studied at Brigham Young University, graduating with degrees in Russian and Civil & Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in structures. He had the unique privilege of being one of Dr. Steven Jones' physics students prior to 9/11, learning from him the principles of conservation of energy and momentum. Following his formal training, he returned to his native Santa Rosa, California and has worked for the past three years in the engineering profession, analyzing and designing water-based infrastructure and residential structures.
My initial exposure to the case for controlled demolition was as a result of a coworker, Ron Brookman, giving me a copy of one of Dr. Jones' papers. Knowing that I had attended BYU, Ron asked me if I had heard of him. I informed him that I had a physics class from him and vouched for his integrity as a scholar and person. Then I read the article. I was not taken easily by the hypotheses at first, and have to admit that, while the science was well-founded, my conscience did not want to let me accept this alternative theory and its startling consequences. I found myself challenging the points made, especially the symmetrical fall theory, and tried mentally to reason my way out of what I was slowly becoming convinced of. In the end, the science -- primarily, the near-freefall speed at which the buildings came down and the evidence of incendiaries in the rubble -- the testimonies, the pictures and video footage, and the structural drawings, which show a central core around which, even if the floors did progressively collapse due to weakening of the steel by heat, would have been left intact -- all these things convinced me that we did not have the full story as provided by NIST, FEMA, ASCE, and the WTC buildings' own structural engineer, Leslie Robertson. Getting to the bottom of what happened on 9/11 requires another serious look at the evidence, much of which has already been destroyed. Our representatives in Congress need to stand up and speak for us, not bow to the powers that, while they do much good, also have a tendency to threaten, incite fear in, and weaken us. I saw a bumper sticker that reads We must speak up, even if our voices shake. Such is the case here. Money, perceived civil order, and temporary stability are not worth rejecting truth - ever. In the end, the hard truth must be accepted, whatever it may be. We must suffer the consequences of our shameful mistakes and then start to heal the wounds. I am concerned with my profession's involvement in this apparent cover up and the media's refusal to address important questions for the reasons stated above. Nothing will happen and this will all evolve into another conspiracy theory, if it has not already, if we don't speak up resolutely now. Finally, I feel deeply for those whose loved ones were lost on 9/11 and indirectly through our questionable involvement in international affairs. I realize that my support of additional inquiries into what happened may seem like stirring the pot for people who simply want closure and to move on. I love my country and the unprecedented freedoms it provides. In order to preserve these freedoms, however, I feel that we must pursue the truth and responsibly deal with it, not close our eyes to it because of how painful it is.

Retired firefighter, fire inspector, ex-marine, security guard - top secret security clearance. I am very frustrated with my fellow citizens for their apathy and acceptance of the official story. I want to see these traitors punished. No one was punished for the extreme dereliction of established guidelines. I am embarrassed to be an American now.
The official story is fiction. The videos are enough to raise myriad questions. So many questions were not asked during the first white wash. Eyewitness accounts from so many people. I feel as if I have entered a time warp that has placed me on another planet.

More people should view the movie, It's odd, that you can present someone with credible evidence, but they don't want to even consider it, being that it would shatter the reality they live in. This issue is what the the US government is banking on to maintain their house of cards.

Graduated in 1976, been working in architectural and engineering offices since. Much of the work I have been involved with dealt with high-rise steel frame structures. Also, have done some engineering work, including building-forensic, some steel frame but mostly concrete. Was employed at Einhorn Yaffee Prescott for a while in Albany, NY and got to see the WTC first hand. Studied WTC's design, structure and construction at university. It was always a fascinating building complex to me.
Very hard to understand the 'complete' lack of concrete rubble in the debris field. Even had the basements filled with concrete topping slab debis. There should have been a stack of jumbled building elements about 9 more stories above grade. The core columns were fully welded yet none were longer than 40 ft (max trucking length). This event as portrayed by the NIST Report totally messes with my understanding of how buildings behave. I haven't been able to reconcile the promoted theory of collapse with the way I know buildings to behave.

25 years as a home and building inspector. Also, I've written and published 5 books about various controversial subjects, the most popular book was about the Governorship of George W. Bush. My book covered much of the fraud of his State Administration.
Originally I did not believe that explosions brought down the towers, but after looking at the evidence I couldn't deny the facts; the buildings came down like controlled demolitions. There's no denying that fact.

I am a union plumber who has done almost exclusively large commercial buildings. I have worked in the Palms Towers, Venetian Tower, in Las Vegas NV. 101 n. Wacker Dr. in Chicago, and many others.
I have personally worked with box columns and I beams, welding, cutting, rigging pipes onto. I have seen pics of the cut box columns, and I know for a fact this could not be done by jet fuel in any way. I believe Building 7 speaks for itself. A new investigation must be conducted.

Consulting Engineer with over 20 years experience in Civil and Structural Engineering. Worked in the fields of structural engineering design, construction, demolition, investigation of building movements and disputes. Worked for many years as a senior consulting structural engineer in the residential and commercial fields. In those years, provided professional services from engineering design advise for new and existing buildings, construction and demolition advice/procedural recommendations, to remedial works recommendations for buildings which are cracking/moving. Currently specialize in investigating movements and structural issues/disputes related to buildings, providing advice on remedial works, for both new and existing/old buildings/structures. Often oversee the remedial works (from engineering, architectural and construction/project management perspectives). Have viewed well over 2 000 houses/dwellings/buildings, subject to movements/cracking issues, in addition to the countless building designs, consultations and construction management. With experience in the design, construction and demolition of buildings, (residential to high-rise buildings) I have developed a great knowledge base to aid in determining the cause of structural problems, provide an appropriate/practical solution, estimate the costs of the required works and oversee/manage the project.
this space is too limited to list all of the structural issues and laws of physics/nature that have been violated by the official story, let alone go into the non-physics related issues (ie motivations, who was involved, etc). however i will state as follows: i often ask people 'how many buildings came down on 911 in New York?'. when the answer is (almost always) 2, i then ask them 'why the did not know about the 47 story building, which was not hit by a plane, yet it collapsed approx. 7 hours after the twin towers'. Even with this fact, they still cannot accept that the media has withheld the truth from them and it seems that they wish to remain (willfully) ignorant. As many others have stated, this is the definitive smoking gun. It is impossible for an unoccupied building, which only has 2 very small fires, to collapse. 2 points which i have not seen raised to date: If the pancake theory is correct, then as each floor truss disconnects from the steel RHS columns (both the ~47 core columns and the ~200 perimeter columns), it would mean that the columns should have remained in one complete length (ie over 100m/300 feet long) and as the building was demolished, oops I mean collapsed due to planes hitting them, the columns should have at least remained erect (especially the core) for that height. Or they should have fallen onto the adjoining buildings, at 100m long, causing major damage (in a plan view leaving a shell type of appearance, or like holding a bunch of straws vertically and letting them fall). Second, in the docs I have seen to date, I have not heard anybody talk about the actual floor loads on the building floors, just prior to collapse/demo. As an engineer, I know that every building on earth is basically designed to support floor loads (usually live, furniture/equipment & dead). A 'factor of safety' is included in the design, thus making the completed structure easily able to remain erect, even if each and every floor was loaded to its capacity (ie the building was jam packed with people in every room on every level and each floor was loaded with the maximum amount of furniture weight). Yet the twin towers were nowhere near their floor load capacity, just prior to collapse, (many people didn't go to work that day and many people managed to exit the building prior to collapse, (I don't know the official number of people that each floor could support)), and no people were present in WTC7!!! So, the issue is; How is it possible for empty (or almost empty) buildings, which are not subject to the live load component and hence not experiencing stresses anywhere near their elastic limits or ultimate limits, collapse at free fall speeds, as a result of fire?

Graduated from West Virginia University in 1985 with a BS Electrical Engineering major and a Computer Science minor. Began professional work with a major utility company as project engineer. Work experiences include electrical project manager with major building projects, underground robotic mining researcher for a small inventor, major metal tubing manufacturer, corporate electrical engineer and supervisor for a major cable company. While now disabled from those physical activities, now working in the alternate energy field as an independent researcher as funds allow. There are many energy systems that work in a different fashion from traditional university training. This alternate source is 'God Energy' given to use freely in lieu of greedy oil interests and taxation. Currently divorced with two children and four grandchildren.
When the 9/11/2001 murders occurred in NYC at the Twin Tower sites, I knew something was amiss. The largest crime scene in American history was instantly cleaned up without investigation against all federal and state laws. This Twin Tower's site should have been secured to allow a complete criminal investigation. Within 28 minutes, I heard all television stations give the name of the terrorist organization and the names of Saudi men that had used box cutters. You couldn't even take any metal through the airport security even in 2001 because I took flights several times each week. I like the BBC; however, they reported that Building 7 had collapsed but you can see Building 7 in the background as she reported. I didn't realize why her report was terminated only seconds before the actual the Building 7 collapse until switching to another channel that was showing the collapse in real time. There was a report that said a jet was downed near Camp David; this report just disappeared from the reporting afterward. The same jet flight number that was reported to have gone down near Camp David was now suddenly downed near Pittsburgh, PA near my area; however, there was nothing at that site. The 'official' stories changed, wavered and was just not plausible. Free-fall pancaking was absolutely ridiculous; you could see the metal roof spire just disintegrating before your eyes. Something was terribly wrong with the so-called 'official story' as many men with excellent credentials were suddenly fired from long-time positions as they spoke out against the official story. I believe the US Military and the American Citizen's money were 'used' to secure oil reserves and pipeline routes in the largest criminal activity in history involving trillions and trillions in future transactions. I seized on the idea put forth in some of the very good investigations and CDs regarding 9/11 about thermate. The microspheres of iron and the clearly cut lower basement beams were leading me to the conclusion that the entire building had been wired for demolition. But, where are the steel beams? Looking at videos and pictures from the site, only a few truckloads of steel were ever recorded. Looking at Dr. Judy Wood's web site and knowing about John Hutchinson's research and investigations into alternate energy sources and radiowave and microwave (frequency) experiments, my attention and focus are now on particle beam weapons and time domain experiments. I will not go into detail in this small report; I urge you to look into the Hutchinson Effect by starting with Dr. Judy Wood's group and her lawsuit against the NIST. The 24' ' 44' perfectly round holes in the buildings surrounding the Twin Towers and one in the street with on steel on the basement floors of the other surrounding buildings indicate that the steel seems to have disappeared? There is no debris or steel collapse in those building pictures completely down into the basement in all of those round holes. This was done to all the buildings; you can see down through the entire building to the basement (without any steel beams visible in those holes). There was a FEMA helicopter coming from Tower 2 roof with some kind of conical flashing light pulsing from beneath it aimed at the roof only seconds before the first building 'disintegration. ' I now believe this is, as Judy Wood has stated, the new Nagasaki. It is a 'sick' military demonstration murdering American Citizens using a new weapon's system to start a war on terror, reduce this country to poverty and enslave the American people under martial rule. The particle beam weapon is based on the Hutchinson Effect with modifications to convert an alternative energy production system to a weapon system. The above presented theory of directed energy weapons does not in any way negate any of the findings of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. It is offered as additional supporting information and is a subject to further investigation. It is a topic that I have personally investigated and have studied in great detail. Thank you for all your efforts.

Degreed Engineer. Currently work in construction and design. Former resident of Washington DC. Once had an office over looking the Pentagon. I can assure you no plane flew that low and that fast on 9/11.
This absolutely needs to be investigated! The information presented is significant. While this focused on NYC and a new investigation of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon is warranted also.
