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 was first an electrical engineer and television producer. While pursuing my subsequent engineering degree, I chose Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering as my discipline. I graduate with a BSChE in 2005. I completed the course work for a Masters of Biomedical Engineering. I am well trained as an engineer in combustion, materials, and construction.
I watched the 2nd plane hit the building as it happened. I could tell that there was something wrong with the way everything had gone down. Nothing seemed right. I was ostracized from the that first day as a result. I knew at that point how hard it was going to be to get past this. A few simple thoughts about certain physical claims: 1. If steel is softened at low temperatures, aircraft engines could not get off the ground. 2. Getting out a phone call above 10,000 feet doesn't require an elaborate organizational plane, just one radio transmission amplifier in the aircraft. 3. What happened to the water cisterns within the buildings? Something I could never understand - Why bring down the buildings when the people on the planes had already died? What difference would it have made whether it was 300 people or 3000? Attacked we were. Why produce so much more carnage? Who else knew about these attacks prior? Who seems to be in the loop?

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.

Upon much reflection I sincerely believe that to stand by and allow the 'fog of war' to interfere in the attainment of the 'truth' is 'unpatriotic' and inexcusable on my part as a taxpaying and law-abiding US Citizen and a member of the architecture profession. The 'official' accounting as rendered by the 9/11 Commission/NIST has been measured and found to be somewhat lacking as regards scope. All of the buildings, WTC 1, 2 & 7, appear to have fallen far too fast. WTC 7 was not even 'hit' and it collapsed straight down into its footprint. Dante Amato, Architect

Sinai health monitoring program. Much to the dismay of the Bush crime family, I ain't dead yet! Disclaimer: I am not an architect or a building engineer.
It's glaringly obvious that the 9/11 Commission Report was a white-wash. I also received my first lessons on the 9/11 cover-up by David Ray Griffin. I wasn't hip to the whole explosives theory though UNTIL I watched the power-point presentation and the other videos of Mr. Gage on this site. I couldn't get over the magnitude of such an operation (placing thousands of charges) but, as Mr. Gage points out, you have to look at the evidence FIRST. I witnessed lateral ejections of metal and glass at the beginning of collapse but, it didn't send up any flags at the time because I'm not a C.D. expert.

RIBA member, MA hons DipArch, Edinburgh University, in practice for 20 years. But you don't need to be a professional to notice some significant discrepancies with the official narrative.
The freefall collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7 must be impossible if only due to the entry of the planes, and in the case of 7, the absence of any impact at all. There is clear knowledge of the extremely robust structure in all 3 of them, and a pre-meditated scheme of internal explosions must have played a part. Further to that, the immediate vaporization of the structural cores must have involved some staggering level of explosives technology. The motives therefore seem heinous. In London last year, I witnessed the Grenfell Tower fire. It burnt visibly for at least 3 days with intense heat. 24 stories high, a year later it is still standing, with no deformation whatever.

I am a trained and experienced Forest Fire Fighter 1990 & 1994. I've seen first hand fires hot enough to melt steel.
I'm not buying 'The Official Story' on several facts I know. First, JP8 is basically kerosene and will never burn hot enough to melt steel. One hundred percent of any and all JP-8 left onboard those aircraft was consumed on impact in those massive fireballs, so it's a moot point that it 'weakened' the steel. Never in the history of steel framed buildings, have we lost a steel framed building to a fire, not before or since 9/11. In fact, there's been several 'tower' fires, worldwide, before and after 9/11 that have burned hotter and longer, yet they still stand?

Was employed for 32 years as a professional firefighter. I was trained as a fire investigator. I held the rank of Captain for 21 of those years. As such, I am capable of postulating the effects of aircraft impacting the sites involved.
Where to begin: In the South Tower, just prior to detonation, a Battalion Chief arrived at or near the impact floor and reported via radio only two lines (two engine companies each deploying a 1 3/4' hose line) could extinguish the fire. Very soon after, it appeared that the top few floors began to tilt and before that section would fall away it was apparently vaporized into dust.

Only demolition could collapse these buildings. Fire in this type of occupancy would not melt steel. Evidence of chemicals needed and produced during a demolition of this type originate from defense contractors. Steel columns that bear the effect of fire do not evaporate. 45 degree angle cuts in steel columns do not occur organically. Too much evidence to the contrary of the NIST report.

Fire fighter/Residential builder. I saw first hand a cock blow up in the oil sands. I saw steel impinged by flames for over 4 hours and it never failed or turned to molten iron. It was a pressurized gas source.
I can't prove or disprove the way the Towers fell. Building Seven though is one of the many obvious clues that leads anyone reasonable to believe there is more to the story. No type one building has ever collapsed like that.

The physical evidence, which contradicts the official story, is staggering. I knew when I watched it happening on the day via TV on the news that those buildings should not be collapsing in the way they did due to the plane impacts and fire. The NIST report could have been written by an under-graduate, with a grade C for lack of references to any real physical evidence!

Was working Mountain Power in Tucson when 9-11 happened. I had thought OK we've been attacked again on our soil. Wait and see, til now. Evidence does make sense to me. Later years when a problem arose with ID I couldn't get for base access to Airforce One project. I worked 3 bases and 3 municipal airports prior. Someone was trying to block/harm me. I'd had prior experiences with the Corp of Engineers (not anything bad. Good actually). Because of that I believe that things can be pre-arranged. Although 9-11 is now something I'm believing 'something is wrong'. There is more to my experiences with the airbases here, but I'm seeing many discrepancies in 9 - 11 now.

I've graduated college with an associate's degree in fire service technology. I've studied mechanical engineering, building structures, blueprints, and have done reports on structure fires.
I was in elementary school in third grade when the attacks on September 11, 2001 happened. After I graduated high school, that's when I began to hear different things about the attacks and different theories on what really happened. From reading articles, watching YouTube videos, and doing my own research, I have come to the conclusion that the official narrative from the Main-Stream Media is false. The buildings cannot be completely destroyed by an airplane. There had to be other factors involved, and important people running our country had to know about what was about to take place on September 11, 2001. The truth should be told, instead of propagating to the public a false story and keeping us ignorant to the facts.

As a firefighter the explanation presented by 9/11 commission report and the NIST is insufficient. OSHA, NFPA, and the firefighting community has been given no additional safety directives or tactical guidelines regarding high rise fires. If such events, as presented by NIST, are possible then governing agencies that oversee the firefighting profession have an obligation to provide additional literature and training in the event another large scale high rise fire occurs. No such procedures or directives have been documented since 9/11.

I was working and living in Sarasota, Florida on 9-11-2001 when the tragedy occurred. To a normal guy like myself the tragedy of the Twin Towers and Tower 7 was a strange event the way the buildings collapsed in the way that they did. Seeing the way that the implosion of buildings are executed by professionals, the Towers looked like they had help by implosive devices. I could not understand how the planes could have brought the buildings down in that way. There should have been time to evacuate the people in the levels below the strike points. I believe that the truth should be investigated and I salute all the experts that are putting time and effort into turning over the rock that exposes the complete evil of 9/11.

There has to be more to it than planes crashing into the buildings. Numerous explosions occurred as the towers fell, something else was going on. WTC 7 caused by the other falling towers? Nope. Jet fuel won't melt steel.

Currently plant engineer for an industrial anhydrous ammonia refrigeration facility.
On 9/11 when someone ran into my office telling me of the attack I called my staff to a conference room where we had a large television and when the first tower came down I told my staff and the plant managers who had joined us that what they were watching was controlled demolition. When I saw the second tower came down my life changed forever. When I saw building 7 implode I told my staff we were on the brink of civil war now! I watched the news videos over and over and did not leave that conference room for 2 solid days. I cannot believe that anyone with any experience in engineering, structural steel fabrication or firefighting could possibly believe the collapse of those structures in such a manor was anything other than by design. There are a hundred reasons I could site as to why the official version of these events is complete science fiction but least said, it would be completely scientifically and physically as well as mathematically impossible for these structures to collapse as they did unless it was by design!!!!

I am a technical writer with over 25 years of experience in research. I also owned a construction company for 11 years. I trained as a volunteer fire fighter with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Academy, where I learned that steel burns at 1200 degrees. I had questioned how the buildings could have come down when they did, even given with my training and knowledge, something was missing.
I know now that jet fuel burns at 750 degrees - on impact, the fuel would have incinerated, an additional fuel source/whether bomb or timed detonations were evident, not just through watching countless videos and hearing from eyewitnesses, but through a common and practical approach - of what is possible and what is impossible. I believe in transparency and it is quite evident that the United States Government has created a cover up for what truly transpired on 9/11.

As a civil engineer, a fire protection engineer, a professional engineer, and a firefighter; I was socked with tear to witness the 9/11 event on television. I was misled by the US government on the truth of 9/11.

It was easy to see as these engineers and architects point out the building were rigged with demolition explosives before the planes hit the buildings which were detonated afterwards killing 3000+ USA citizens.

I worked in demolition for 2 years as a caps-helper(elec.) and I have my Electrical Mechanics License after working as an electrician for 7 years. I have an associates degree in physics and 116 credits toward my BS in Electrical Engineering. Currently, I'm doing an internship at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research in Camden, NJ.
What's there to say? I don't believe the official story, but I don't believe most of the conspiracy theories I've heard either; I think the answer may be somewhere in between. I believe we need a full investigation with new people who think outside of the box.

It insults our intelligence to put out the official report when we can look at live videos and audio of person after person talking about the constant explosions, the reports of building 7 falling before it had, and the owner admitting on tv that it was pulled which is a common demolition term. Those events ushered in a new level of control over citizen's rights and a LOT of money to be made in a new never-ending war. I would like the truth about the collapses at least.

Many NYFD firefighters reported hearing multiple, and various magnitudes of sound, explosions on 09/11/2001, as did ALL of the MSM on that same day. BBC even reported the collapse of WTC#7 before it actually happened! The two statements above are not mentioned in the authorized 9/11 report and the near free-fall collapse of WTC#7 is not mentioned either. There are archives of the MSM reporting on that day which, hopefully, can still be retrieved for verification of the above statements.
