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.

From the moment those buildings fell, I knew there was NO way a building could fall so 'perfectly' by simply a plane impact alone. In addition, every large catastrophic event is investigated for years, yet this event seems to have had minimal if any sort of investigation. Everything about these buildings coming down was a planned demolition.

I received a BS in Architectural Engineering from the University of Wyoming in '98 and worked as a Consulting Mechanical Engineer for 5 years after.
After reviewing the data, photos, video accounts, statements from first responders, explanation for the collapse, etc. I believe that the FEMA explanation is inaccurate and requires further investigation. The upper floors affected by the impact could have caused structural failure, but this does not explain the complete and total failure of the supporting structure of the floors below. The explanation of the fire from the impact and jet fuel causing the total and complete failure of the supporting structures is false due to the relatively low temperatures of the fires and the massive amounts of structural steel at the core of the building. The pancake theory of collapse would support the evidence of several of the lower floors at ground zero. There was no evidence of anything that resembled a floor structure, nor any concrete pieces that were bigger than the size of a fist. This is evidence that would support the use of explosives instead of a natural building collapse due to upper level failure and subsequent gravitational impact.

By any objective analysis of the inconsistencies and factual evidence available to any member of the public; there is obviously a great divide between what truly happened and what has been provided as the fed to an accepting American Public via a cooperative media industry. In total, this represents a bloodless coup in America and until full disclosure is forced, the control of this nation by an unseen group of people and organizations will continue and will grow in its removal of civil rights and free speech. The window is closing each and every day, and the folks orchestrating this scenario are the most powerful and evil humans to ever walk this planet. It would be hard to overstate the ramifications of this scenario.

I have studied and looked at every aspect of the collapse. It has left more questions than answers. There was to many indications that more happened that day than we were told.
There are to many holes in the scientific break down involving the collapse. There is video from the U.K. that shows a reporter claiming building 7 had collapsed when you can clearly see it in the background and with a time/date stamp from the network. The residue from the explosive called Thermite found in the dust at the Trade Center site should be enough reason to open a new and independent investigation alone. That and the fact that the 9/11 commission was hand picked by the administration. Also I would like to see an inquiry into the strange construction on vacant floors in the Trade Centers prior to 9/11.

I was scheduled on a flight to Chicago for a meeting with other Network Associates engineers when my wife was watching the collapse of building 2 on September 11, 2001. I was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with the picture. A few years later I saw a video of the collapse of building 7 and recognized immediately that it was a planned demolition. At that time, I became truly outraged at the lies that were being told. As I watched the video, I realized that 9/11 was probably a 'false flag' attack. All my friends thought and still think I am crazy. Signing this petition is important to me in my role as a teacher of Buddhist Meditation in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We must have the truth be told so that our confidence in the government can be restored.

The few videos I have seen and interviews I have heard were taken with much skepticism. However there are many troubling questions that I feel the 911 commission did not answer. The most troubling to me is that the investigation was obviously not done in a completely objective and scientific way. Much evidence was neglected, and those on the panel most likely had prejudices to the findings.

32 years experience working for the US government (DESC) or in support of our military aircraft and high-tech weapons systems (LMC).
I was originally an architecture student before changing majors to electrical/systems engineering. I have interfaced with numerous military personnel, from the lowest rank to the highest, including many pilots of various aircraft that we build and service at military bases around this nation. I have also researched countless hrs of video and seen eyewitness testimony of firemen and emergency personnel who responded to this attack that clearly stated that there were bombs in both towers. - - At LMC, we build remote control navigation pods and manless AUV's, the kind used in the Middle East. The planes that hit the two towers seemed to have similar remote control navigation pods installed on their undersides, and therefore were likely remotely flown into the towers. There may not have been any passengers or terrorists aboard these planes. The video evidence and flight speeds also convey that they were also not commercial aircraft, but painted as such with no passenger windows. - - There were definitely bombs placed inside the twin towers and building 7 to orchestrate a controlled demolition of all three buildings. The owner of these towers was asked what happened to building 7, because it was never hit by any plane and there was only a small fire inside. The owner said, 'we had to take it down.' This in itself admits a controlled demolition took place on Sep 11, 2001 on building 7, and building 7 fell in classic style of a controlled demolition just as both towers did. It takes many months of structural design and planning to map out and install explosives sufficient to bring these massive buildings down in a vertical manner to preserve adjacent buildings. Explosives were needed because jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the massive steel beams that all three buildings were constructed from. Thermite may have been added to the paint or other medium during upgrades that were performed prior to this event. I have had military personnel tell me point blank, that anybody that is anybody in the military knows that there was more to this attack. - -

Subsequently a professional life-time of experience has been acquired, predominantly in the traffic & motorways design, urban development, network planning, and expert evidence in developmental planning courts, until the post-WWII societal-'enabling' approach was increasingly sacrificed in favour of a current suicidal anti-active/anti-productive Post-Modernism-'justified urban containment and restriction approach was introduced and promoted, ostensibly to 'save the planet', (which it most certainly is not doing in the sense promoted by its promoters) but with the direct consequence that the productivity of British/Western Civilization will be/is being curtailed.
This has all the appearances of being just one of many 'false flag' events promoted by various groups purportedly representing various nations (not least including the USA as in this case) to vilify 'enemy states' or justify wars of aggression, including against the state's own peoples. Such 'false flag' events include the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' invention by USA and its allies (including Britain) which the global public now perceives as just that - a 'false flag' event. As Franklin Roosevelt said; 'In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.'

I don't have a theory in regard to who collapsed them, but I do know that somebody did. If the supports aren't broken as they begin to fail, the torquing which will occur creates shearing and much greater displacement of debris.

I was very young when I watched the 9/11 attacks, but it was one of my first memories, and it will stick with me forever. I thankfully did not have any friends or family perish in the attacks, but I knew many families that were impacted. I was always very suspicious of the explanations provided by the government led commissions. The evidence available at this point disproves much of what the commission has stated. It is imperative that there be a real investigation of what happened that day, for the sake of the families and the legacy we leave for generations to come.

Beams projected away, the symmetry, the complete destruction of the buildings, the pulverization of human bodies and witness reports are plenty of evidence to support the use of explosives as the main theory for what happened. The prevailing paradigm disregards the size and strength of metallic structure skyscrapers, while exaggerating the possible effects of the crash by an airliner.

I've been working in the construction field for more than 3 years now, on an structural design approach, for public and private organization in Colombia. I studied six months structural steel design in Mexico as well.
We design buildings that can resist even the worst earthquakes. So, local fires due to an airplane crash can't cause enough energy to make a building literally disappear in a few seconds. So, I strongly believe that the WTC destruction was planned and caused by a different force, the same force we use to demolish an old building. I hope one day that those lives will be redeemed by the truth so they can finally rest in peace.

Although my degrees are not directly related to construction, because I am a PhD student, I am familiar with the scientific method and I have researched several claims made by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. I found their claims to not only be valid, but extremely relevant. Based on the facts that we know concerning 9/11, they are asking all the right questions that a critical thinker should ask. It is not necessary to be a structural engineer or architect to realize that the investigation put forth by NIST leaves out a lot of relevant information, so we need a new investigation to be conducted looking into the possibility that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings.

I believe God will not let our country move forward until the WTC disease is healed. Our leaders currently cannot speak about any issue that we face today without lying about 9/11. This cannot persist. It is too systemic to accept as a mere 'thorn in the flesh' that we must bear. We must convince a handful of politicians to open a dialogue about 9/11.

The presence of molten iron weeks after the building collapses is absolutely damning to the official story. The ubiquitous spheroid/ellipsoid particles of iron (not steel) in the dust is compelling evidence of the use of thermite incendiaries. The collapse of WTC 1&2 is not simply gravitational - there are outward explosions with forces and energies that could not be generated by a simple gravitational collapse. The building collapses serve as close models for volcanic eruptions with the pyroclastic plumes which are outward and slightly upward in some of the trajectories and the molten material. Much attention has been placed on whether jet fuel can burn at high enough temp to weaken the steel. However, an important consideration is whether the burning of the expected amount of jet fuel would even have enough energy after combustion to bring the steel columns to the temperatures to weaken the steel. One 9/11 Researcher did such a calculation that I think is worthy of more notice or scrutiny. He assumed that the burning of the jet fuel to be confined within a single floor and that there would be no heat transfer outside of that floor; he further assumed that the jet fuel was burned with maximum efficiency in air to produce the greatest amount of heat. He then made estimates for the mass of steel, cement, product gases, etc that would be within that single floor. Each assumption tended to err on the side of producing the maximum temp increase so the amount of steel and concrete might were somewhat underestimated and their respective heat capacities were assumed to be constant w.r.t temp although heat capacity tends to increase at higher temp. These are, of course, all outrageous assumptions, particularly the idea that there will be no heat transfer during this time, especially no heat conduction vertically along the column beyond the single floor (one out of over 100). Even with these extreme assumptions there is still not enough heat released to increase the temperature of the contents of the single floor to a temperature to weaken the steel. While the maximum temperature at which jet fuel burns is a valid point, I find this argument to be more compelling. My last comment is that I feel personal shame for not heeding the truth movement sooner. It is difficult for a normal person to entertain the possibility that our government would do such a thing. The issue really is not the amount of evidence or how compelling it is. The issue for the average person is whether he can begin to consider this as a possibility and how much the person is willing to examine the wealth of information available.

There is a staggering amount of irrefutable factual information, that has been derived and collected by professional scientists and engineers, to establish that the collapse of these buildings was premeditated controlled demolition. It would be impossible to accomplish that degree of destruction, and the sequence of events, by the relatively mere impact of jet airplanes and the resulting fires fueled only by jet fuel, which could never soften or melt steel support structures. There is also an unprecedented array of events that indicate a carefully premeditated and executed sequence of events that belie the official conclusions of the original 9/11 commission. Why was there such a rush to remove and destroy physical evidence from the scene, to prevent a proper forensic investigation of such an unprecedented disaster?

I declare myself unqualified to be able to provide a criterion on the nature of the motivations for wanting to demolish the Twin Towers, I only want to indicate that it is evident that the crash of an airplane and the temperature reached by the fire due to this fact is not enough to demolish those colossal structures. It is a true insult to the intelligence and memory of the fallen on this infamous day. These people deserve truth, justice and the recognition by the corresponding part of the serious damage caused to the victims and their next of kin.------------------Me declaro incompetente para poder entregar un criterio sobre la naturaleza de las motivaciones para querer derrumbar las Torres Gemelas, solamente quiero indicar que es evidente que el choque de un avi'n y la temperatura alcanzada por el fuego producto a este hecho no es suficiente para derrumbar estas colosales estructuras, es un verdadero insulto a la inteligencia y a la memoria de los ca'dos este infame d'a.

The falling of the three towers defies logic, common sense and science. The truth is being buried and withheld from the American people and the world. We the people demand truth and justice to be served to those responsible in perpetrating the lies.

I have a mechanical engineering degree from Virginia Tech University. I trained after VA Tech in fire protection and passed the VA PE exam in fire protection. I worked for CLARK NEXSEN/AE as a Fire protection engineer for 25 years. I worked for NAVFAC in fire protection department for 12 years. I retired in 2019.
I don't believe the planes could bring down the twin towers as fires have never collapsed a high rise building.

BSc Civil Engineering - CMEngNZ. Have worked within consulting structural engineering offices since Feb 1982, on water treatment plants, bridges, and buildings.
WTC1 and WTC2 could not have collapsed as witnessed without the action of controlled explosives. No building collapses against the path of maximum resistance, as would be provided by the internal core of the building. This core structure had to first be weakened, destroyed, and displaced by forces not due to falling debris. At worst, the parts of the building above the impact zones should have leaned over with only parts falling off. WTC7 is the only building in history that collapsed due to sporadic office fires, the first in history. It was in free fall against the path of maximum resistance. These events are, in my opinion, not physically possible without the input of planned explosives.

The 3 buildings clearly came down due to controlled demolition.

Occupation: Electrical Engineer
Received a BSEE in 1958 while working at nights and summers at Douglas Aircraft Company. Initially I worked for Servomechanisms Inc for 2 years, then Nortronics on the Polaris Missile System for 2 years before joining Canoga Electronics. My work there for 8 years was on digital interfaces. I briefly worked at Sagetec, a startup, before forming Data Works in Los Angeles in 1973. Three years later it was purchased by Fairchild who moved it to San Jose. In 1978, myself and two partners bought it back from Fairchild and started ICS Electronics which specialized in GPIB computer to instrument interfaces. I was president and ran the company until was sold in 2018. Construction has always been a side interest of mine as we built two buildings for ICS and our own home in the Bay area. I am currently retired and doing some consulting for ICS.
The video about the collapse of 1 WTC has always bothered me. The radio spire on top of the building appears to sink before the building starts to fall This is very reminiscent of all of the building demolition videos I have seen. My second problem is the lack of plane debris at the crash site at Shanksville and at the Pentagon. I think the whole story about 9/11 needs to be reviewed.

As I observed the twin towers collapsing in real time it was apparent that 'there's something wrong with this picture.' A review of the evidence has brought me to the conclusion that the public narrative and 'official' findings are incorrect and intentionally misleading. Volumes of evidence indicate that the twin towers and Building 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition rather than fire. Building 7 is the 'smoking gun.'
