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.

1 to 38 story buildings in DC, MD, VA, FL. Involved in construction since 1968. Majority of buidings were Office & Hotel type. Worked with Controlled Demolition on 2 projects. We supplied the drawings for them to use for their demo layout.
I have witnessed & have seen many videos of building demolitions. I have investigated buildings toppled by wind. I have investigated a fire in the core of a high-rise hotel building and one in an open air garage. It is obvious to me that the 911 towers were demolished with explosives. The fire in the twin towers was like that of cars burning in an open garage building-the fire can not become hot enough to cause enough structural members to deform to the point of failure. Building number 7 collapsed just like any other controlled demolition I have witnessed. The buildings did not topple.

I have studied materials, structural engineering and structures mechanics for 5 years in a leading engineering school in France.
I measured on one hand the duration of collapse of the towers ( t1 ) and calculated on the other hand the duration of fall of an object on a height equal to that of the towers ( t2 ). My result is that t1 < t2. I can explain it only by emitting at least the following 2 hypothesis: - floors set no resistance during the fall (this hypothesis alone would lead to the result t1=t2), - the fall of towers was accelerated by the existence of depressions create in the building during its fall.

My area is in water resources, but the basic CE curriculum provides enough basis to understand the physics and structural evidence presented by the experts. My software simulation background tells me that simulation results without knowing the inputs to the simulation are meaningless. That NIST is secretive about their methods casts grave doubts on their reported results.

I am currently in charge of a twin tower project in downtown Vancouver.
In my professional opinion it is impossible that Building #7 collapsed in such an orderly and neat fashion without a controlled demolition. Such relatively small fires on just a couple of floors never in the past have lead to the collapse of a high rise building of this construction type. The official explanations of the 'one column failure' would lead maybe to a partial collapse or at least to a very different collapse pattern. Also we have to question, why was the collapse of Building #7 not part of the official report? If the twin towers collapsed in a sandwich fashion as per the official report, the stair / elevator cores should have been sticking out maybe even many hundreds of feet up into the air. They should have been left standing at least partially, or if the the foundations were damaged at the impact of the falling tower floors, they may have toppled over as a whole or in large sections, taking out surrounding buildings. I find it further suspicious that such enormous amounts of dust were trailing parts falling from the twin towers. Also the strangely burned cars found on the other side of Manhattan Island demand investigation and better explanations. Where are the engines of the aircraft? They are built in a way that at least major parts of them cannot burn up in the heat generated by a fuel fire. Why can one see something which looks clearly like molten glowing iron on many images and video clips? It is my understanding that many firefighters and maintenance staff heard explosions but were not asked to testify for the official report. I further understand that there were witnesses seeing white trucks pulling up in front of the twin towers and staff with equipment entering the building in the late night / early morning hours every night for about 3 weeks prior to the 911 events. I understand these witnesses were not heard. There are many other items which in my opinion need explanation and further investigation, but it will take too long to list all of those herein. I am not a US citizen, but I have many cousins and their families living there. This event impacted all our lives and all our countries. My home country Germany is in the light of the unfolding refugee crisis particularly impacted by the long term results of the US politics triggered by the 911 events. Therefore all citizens of this planet have a right to demand a better explanation and to see a new and much more thorough investigation into the events.

The September 11th attacks are a difficult issue not because of the science, but the psychology. For years I dismissed the 9/11 truthers without taking the time to listen to their claims, let alone examine the evidence that they had diligently compiled. Even when I finally did look into the issue, I wanted so badly to maintain my world view that I spent weeks looking for something that disproved the claims of the 9/11 truth movement. After failing to find it, I became angry. Why hadn't my engineering professors told me? I realized that, just like me, they had naturally rejected ideas that went against their preconceptions. Now I am trying to become a part of one of the most ridiculed and hated groups in the United States: those who were open minded enough to listen, humble enough to investigate, and motivated enough to do something about it.

Occupation: Investigator/Interrogator
I served twenty-two years in the U.S. Army. My occupational fields were Military Intelligence, Infantry, and Administration. The majority of my service was abroad. My Intelligence occupations included: Strategic Debriefer, Deputy Intelligence Liaison Officer, German Linguist, and Senior Interrogation Instructor. I was an Infantry Paratrooper, during the 1960's, and I served almost two and one-half years of combat experience as a team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant, and acting platoon leader in Vietnam. My combat experience included training and extensive experience with explosives. My administrative experience was as a member of a NATO Special Weapons Unit, in Europe, and I was part of our Nuclear Weapons Release Program. My highest government security clearance was TOP SECRET. Although never a Police Officer, I conducted preliminary investigations for a CALEA accredited Police Department, for one and one-half years. I served as a Correctional Officer for four and one-half years before I was forced into medical retirement. I am a Police Science Honor Graduate of Johnston Technical Institute, 1972. I have no Degree, but I do have an educational background, from various colleges and universities, which includes Criminal Justice, Computer Programming, German Country Studies, and Commercial Art. Some of my early work experience includes employment as a Private Investigator, Purchaser, Food & Beverage Manager, Innkeeper (General Manager), and an Internal Auditor.
Because of my Intelligence background, I realize that it is important to obtain specific information about specific events, but because I am an analytical thinker, I understand that specific events are often only a part of greater events, thus I do not limit my analysis of 9/11 events to the events of 9/11. Instead: I ask myself: How does this event relate to this other event? Are each of these events part of a greater event? There are parallels to the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 9/11 incident -- the premature destruction of evidence and the premature removal of evidence by our government are common factors. There are parallels to the TWA 800 incident, the Oklahoma City Bombing incident, and the 9/11 incident -- the exclusion of many credible eye-witness reports are common factors. There are parallels to the Warren Commission Report and the 9/11 Commission Report -- the reports are the reports of incompetent investigators, or the reports of agenda-driven officials who intentionally intended to deceive us. I am unable to theorize any other options. Because of my background, my knowledge, the reported evidence, and my analytical reasoning, I don't believe the official report about the collapse of the twin-towers and building #7. Furthermore, I believe that to exclusively focus upon those incidents is to miss the greater picture. Finally, it should be obvious to any informed observer, without any other evidence, that the symmetrical implosion of the twin towers was a controlled implosion.

The first thing that concerned me in the 'pancake' theory of the tower floors was after I saw photos and plans of the core column structure. There is no contiguous floor through the core area. If the floors did pancake, then the basically hollow square floors outside of the exterior of the core would have sheared off and collapsed leaving the core standing. As an analogy, the core is the 'trunk' of the tower, giving bending resistance (stiffness) and vertical support. There is no reason to believe that collapsing floors surrounding it would affect it.

I was born in Texas. My father was in the Air Force and we moved to Maxwell AFB shortly after I was born. From there we moved to Toul Rossierre(sp?) AFB in France. We then moved to Texas where my father retired. I lived in Austin until I joined the Army in 1980. Got off active duty in 1993 as a Captain and promoted to Major in the Army Reserves in 1994. Moved to Maine in 1993. Started working for DHHS and joined the Maine Army National Guard in 1997 As a CW2 UH-60 Medevac Pilot. Retired in 2004. Combat tours include: 1991 (Desert Storm), 1999-2000 (Bosnia), and 2003-2004 (OIF).
I have always had serious doubts as to the official story of how these buildings collapsed on September 11th. After so much time has passed and so much evidence is available, I firmly believe there is more to the story we are not being told. I believe the U.S. Government has information that is being withheld from the public on what actually occurred and how.

Bush twice and supported his actions to find the terrorist behind 9/11. I have always supported our troops. AE911truth and others have brought to light the facts we were not told.
To never forget 9/11 means to investigate! Without a new investigation we have truly forgotten what happened on 9/11. The victims and families deserve an investigation! The first responders deserve an investigation! We need to look at the facts and science. Three buildings fell to the ground and i demand to know why! NEVER FORGET 9/11

I am a flooring contractor of 39 years working in high rise buildings and have a pretty good understanding of steel structure. I spent 4 years in the Navy in the late 1960's as an aviation hydraulics mechanic and plane captain. Was also in the music business for most of my life and took music production classes at UCLA.
When you study the infrastructure of the buildings, Towers 1 & 2, there are 47 massive steel pillars that could not possibly crumble by heat 80 stories above. The pancake theory would have left the steel structure in tact. The evidence from photos of the steel cut at a 45 degree angle should be enough proof in itself that explosive thermite was used. Much was to be gained as in billions if not trillions of dollars by many people including the leaseholder of the WTC who made billions in insurance. The evidence is overwhelming! The people behind this atrocity NEED to be held accountable. I have been studying the 9/11 debacle for 5 years now and the more I investigate the more I am convinced that 9/11 was facilitated by our highest level elected officials for huge profits and power. Take a close look at the Pentagon. There is no evidence that a 757 aircraft crashed there. Where's the photos of the wings, tail section, seats and bodies to prove it?

From my experience I don't see Jet fuel melting the girders to the point of collapse. When I first saw the footage of the building collapses, the first thing I saw were the diagonal squibs that preceded each floor that fell, and I said that I don't believe that the planes brought down those buildings. I felt that they were imploded. I feel that the jet fuel initiated the thermite to melt the girders and possibly RDX or Comp B was used to blow out the remaining supports, so the buildings just free fell. Also, the other thing I felt that was strange was that if they didn't have anything to hide, why did they whisk away all the evidence so that nobody could do any analysis of their own?

I have a remedial understanding of the Twin Towers and WTC7 collapse and believe that the story given by the 9/11 Commission and the NIST to be totally false.

No way! With very bad luck, perhaps one could slip by, but no there's no way all four of them could! *Awarded the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal for bravery under fire and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in Viet Nam. ----------------------------------------------------------- My Facebook Post, 9 MAR 2010- By way of reply to Rosalie and Messrs. Fortner & Huchteman: __As is the case with all who choose to denigrate trufers, rather than offer rebuttal, the ad hominem attacker assumes that those who raise questions, all believe Bush knew. I neither automatically trust nor do I choose to ridicule experts -a fashionable trend these days, meant to convey one's sophistication -(which term incidentally, is based on the word sophistry -qv). I simply want answers to what appear to be legitimate questions of engineering and fact, raised by professionals. I don't have the information or training necessary to make assumptions or conclusions, but I do think that if I hear all the evidence, I can sort it out. So I continue to seek answers which address the questions raised. Some of these points are easily understood by laity. Here's a sampling of issues of interest to this trufer, to which I invite response: '[[tab]]In April 1945, a B-17 bomber, off course and lost in fog, flew into the Empire State Building. I remember the incident clearly. Mindful of that fact, the architect of the Twin Towers over-designed the towers structural integrity to withstand a direct hit at any level by a Boeing 707. Modern high-rise buildings will remain standing, even if completely consumed by fire. '[[tab]]And when they do come down (as a result of earthquake, for example), they neither fall in their own footprint, nor descend at the same rate as a free-falling object. WTC I & II apparently did. If not the result of controlled demolition, why? '[[tab]]The official NIST report published a false diagram of the structural support system of the floors. The architectural plan (published online) shows a different -and stronger system. Why was this done? '[[tab]]The Boston-Washington corridor is arguably the most heavily defended airspace in the world. In October 1999, golfer Payne Stewart died when the Learjet carrying his party apparently lost pressurization, resulting in a loss of consciousness by all aboard. Air National Guard jets were able to track it across six states and intercept the plane, flying on autopilot, before it ran out of gas and crashed over So. Dakota. Where were the jet interceptors around New York City? ------------------------------------------- Concerning the controversy over convening an an impartial and independent commission having subpoena power, to re-open the investigation of the events leading to and culminating in the 9/11 tragedy: When it waddles and quacks and one isn't sure, it would be remiss NOT to look up merghus merganser.

After completing his tour of four years, he took a short break from the serious stuff, then enrolled in Associated Technical College, in Anaheim, CA. After obtaining his Associates Degree in Telecommunications in 1991, he began working as a telephone installer for several employers up until 1999. At this point, he'd mastered his title and decided to strike out on his own. In addition to quitting his job for self employment, he had his third child on the way, sold his home for a bigger one elsewhere and pretty much gave fate the chance it deserved. The gamble paid off! He brought his first company to an annual gross of over 1.7 million in the second year. The rest is history. After gaining over 6000 satisfied clients who depended on him to keep their most precious communications equipment running in top shape, he decided to slow down a bit and enjoy his family. Today, he still provides the same level of service, but with the added ability to service your surveillance cameras and alarm systems as well.
It's more than obvious, this was a controlled demolition. To secure their own twisted interests, they will kill our population at will.

After returning home from a year-long deployment in Baghdad, Iraq, I became interested in finding the reasoning of why American soldiers are being killed on foreign soil to this very day. After stumbling across some rather disturbing material into the involvement leading up to 9/11 [and after], I became intrigued.
The mere audacity by our government in pursuit of global power, greed, and glory for a NO just cause was based solely on lies! Nothing in this world is what it used to be by any means. That is why I became an advocate for the 9/11 Truth Movement. Among millions of Truthers globally, we are becoming the voice for those victims who were murdered while their family members who still, after nine years, have 70% of their questions unanswered by the government. The exact number of people killed on the day will never be truly known because the destruction of the Twin Towers so thoroughly degraded human remains that more than one thousand apparent victims have yet to be identified. All they are asking is for reasonable questions in unreasonable times. In comparison with the war in Iraq where I served, there is somewhat common ground related to these victims and families, and that is, If I don't fight [for them], then who will? There is absolutely no wild speculation or false allegations in the 9/11 research. With the overwhelming scientific forensic evidence, tyrants within COINTELPRO had foreknowledge and should have used better evasive tactics before painstakingly planning their course of action.

Who and why did they do this? Very disturbing! We need to bring whomever is responsible for the death of all these people to justice. It is very sad to think that this was all an elaborate hoax, but with this new evidence, I'm brought to tears, and must live with the truth.

Definitely an inside job. I remember during the initial NPR reports that the reporters were saying that they could feel the ground shaking and hear explosions like bombs going off. By the next day those statements had been completely white washed from the Official report.

I am a former engineering student. I have completed three years of an undergraduate degree. The reason I left school was money. I am now a cook. This conspiracy has motivated me to go back and finish my B.S.
I was initially convinced I could disprove the conspiracy (at least in my own mind). The more I researched the more my viewpoint changed. The physical evidence is what needs to be told. All other unprovable theories should be put aside until the new investigation happens. Thank you intelligent men and women for being patriots and questioning.

I am not a professional engineer with a degree. I am a operating engineer who has erected and assembled structural steel buildings for a living. As a combat engineer in the United States Air Force, I was part of a training cadre. Our mission was to handle, transport, and implement charges of explosives for airfield and infrastructure denial and destruction capability. I understand the characteristics and physics of structural steel and concrete building design and installation, explosives, and shaped charge design and installation. I learned these things from observations, handling and implementing these designs in the field.
I concur with all observations the Architects and Engineers group has presented thus far. The quantity and quality of the evidence is overwhelming proof that the first investigation was inaccurate and unprofessional at best. Far too many clues were never investigated or followed up on. Like many others, I have a burning desire for the truth. The families of the victims, first responders, and the nation deserve a proper, full investigation to discover the truth so we can get this behind us. Your success is critical for all Americans, as well as America's history. Thank you for all you do.

Truly believable especially with the Experts commentary about nano thermite. Completely fits.

I feel that it is statistically impossible for three buildings to fall exactly the same way due to plane crashes and fire. The eerie resemblance of the buildings falling compared to a known demolition is what I would consider the most riveting evidence for a new unbiased investigation. The Bush administration needs to be under oath when questioned, in a public court of law.

I was in the marine corps when the bldgs fell. I saw beyond the smoke back then. I was the only marine in my battalion opposed to the war after 911.
there are too many unanswered questions concerning 911. the government spent more money investigating where Clinton put his cigar. this is very bothersome to me. explosives are obvious in the video footages.

I am a Vietnam Vet, I'm also a member of Oath Keeper. Currently I live on a hobby farm in lower Dutchess County, NY working towards self reliance living. I'm an avid hunter and love fishing. I'm preparing for the worse and hoping for the best, so I guess that puts me in the survivalist category. I'm of the belief that our economy is about to collapse, thus throwing the country into panic.
This will never go to an independent investigation simply because our government will not allow it to be investigated for the truth. No-one seems to remember that Bin-laden was a CIA operative, and that our government is up to their arm pits in this. If there is an investigation you'll find HIGH TREASON in our government from the lowest level right to the top out of the Oval Office. Your attempts at an investigation will be met with road block at every turn. It seems no one wants to face the truth that those 3000 that die that terrible day were nothing more than pawns use by our government to push the country towards WAR.

My opinion is that our govt covered up it's own complicity of the horrendous acts of 9/11 and put the blame on someone else.

I am prior military and a just a regular person - and at the time this all happened, I was a skeptic over our governments involvement in this. Even to my untrained eye, it never sat right.
I have always been concerned that where the planes crashed was so high up - how could it have possibly caused the collapse of the entire building. Not to mention with Building 7 - there was no reason and it was too neat to be an accident.

My question is... How can any REAL American look back to 9/11 now after the initial shock of the attacks are over and not see the deliberate cover-up that was put on about each and every event that occurred that day. It honestly does not require a Structural Engineer or Architect to tell me, an non-college educated human being that there was much more at play here than a plane crash and a fire to bring these buildings down. Why is the evidence so deliberately ignored? The American people deserve the TRUTH, Answers without all the lies. This day in History took a lot of innocent lives but also set this great country on a course that was chosen by those responsible for these horrific acts.

No skyscraper in modern history has collapsed due to fire before or after September 11th 2001. So follow the thinking, if building 7 was a preplanned demolition, it was done so in conjunction with the destruction of the twin towers. Which then begs the question, what else besides two planes brought down the twin world trade towers?
