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.

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.

Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering 1981. I have over 35 years of experience applying little more than common sense to engineer types of tasks involved in electrical power plants, refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, titanium powder manufacturing, wire shapes manufacturing, water treatment facilities, LNG terminals, pulp/paper plants, and a few I've forgotten.
The near perfect free fall seen in all of the public videos and live TV coverage I've watched since the event occurred, can be fully explained only by analysis of a controlled demolition using thermite. The cover-up by the US government seriously damaged the trust of American citizens but also is a security risk to us as now other countries realize the US does NOT stand up for truth and justice. The WORLD deserves the TRUTH....NOW!

I have a degree in combined studies, that includes Chemistry, achieved at the University of Glamorgan, Wales (Former mining polytechnic college). (1994-97). I have also worked for several years as a lab technician with various types of cements and concretes, including three months testing the compression strength of concrete used in the building of blocks of flats. ( I witnessed hundreds of tests on the concrete up to the point of failure and do not remember much fine powder as a result, there were however many shards ranging from the mm to cm size ).
I am very concerned with the way World Trade Center 7 collapsed. It seems to me almost impossible that fires could cause such symmetrical failure when fires shouldn't rationally be able to cause the failure of any part of the structure let alone all of the structure at exactly the same time. I need a new investigation to explain this (maybe demolition experts can plant enough explosives in a burning building in 8 hours to bring it down as we saw). I have read and seen much more conflicting evidence about other aspects of 9/11 and I am not content with the official story, but as I have no first hand evidence (e.g saw explosives being used) my suspicions on the events that day rest on the video evidence of the collapse of WTC7. The odds of such a symmetrical collapse due to natural processes (i.e not manipulated) are so unrealistically long that I see this as the achilles heel of the official account, and if there is no sufficient explanation it implies complicity by someone with the clearance to enter the building. We need to know how and who.

Although originally skeptical about conspiracy theories regarding 9/11, after viewing Mr. Gage's lecture on youtube, I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the three WTC buildings fell due to controlled demolition. There is simply no other reasonable explanation. The implications of this are so staggering, that I feel the truth coming out in this matter is the single most important issue facing the western world today.

The government conspiracy theory does not hold up to scrutiny. As a professional with over 30 years experience working with gas turbines (jet engines) and fuels - kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn in any open flame hot enough to effect steel - well under 1000 deg F. Also bogus are the explanations regarding why no planes were intercepted. SOP is they are always, always intercepted if they stray off course and/or turn off the transponder like these flights all did. No command decision needed. Has our government ever been untruthful to us?

It is really Doesn't make any sense for me as a structural engineer working in the field of progressive collapse and blast analysis that the towers specially WTC 7 collapse in that way. I've been working in demolition industry for years now and i can see that this is a controlled demolition case.

I was able to believe that a plane hit the twin towers, but could not comprehend any forces including localize heat at a high level that could bring the towers to collapse. I have never seen any explanation of why building #7 collapsed. In fact, I was not even aware that a third building had been destroyed ... based upon any mass media coverage. I only learned about the third building and evidence of explosive remnants years later. I know we have more to learn about what really happened.

I was registered with RIBA and had since withdrawn my affliation in 2006
The way the building collapsed ( WTC ) looks very very suspicious. A tower that high could not have collapsed that neatly, debris crushing down like that, and had hardly affected the surrounding in terms of damages from the expected towers' side way topple. Could that amount of fuel melted the steel core in such a short time span ? People were still speaking on mobile phones from inside the tower, minutes before the collapse though choking in smoke. The supposed heat that melted the steel could have incinerated the people before they could continue speaking for so long up and until before the collapse.

The collapse of a single structure under the circumstances of the events of 9/11/01 is improbable. Three steel structures collapsing vertically at free fall speed, one not even impacted, is inconceivable. - - My training and experience tells me that Tower 7 should have failed asymmetrically, if at all.

I use and devise the means of material and their integrity to see how they 'size up' for worth/longevity (an empirical scientist of life). So - I've had my hands in the creation via the material that are available to us.
With all I have read, and continue to examine (pro and con) surrounding to the three main buildings that came down on 9/11, the simple summation/report severely lacks and does not begin to 'beggar the questions' and for what has been revealed. A lot 'staging' for the general public to get 'an answer' - but will the full truth be allow.

A basic understand of physics is all that is required to generate serious doubt regarding the official 9-11 narrative. The only way an object achieves free-fall, as all 3 towers did, is unobstructed fall. This means that, for what was claimed, the lower structures of all 3 towers had to fail simultaneously. Without controlled demolition this is highly unlikely.

I was once going to go into nursing and had all the science classes required for it. Thus, along with teaching mainly English and history, I had enough credits to have a minor in science and taught biology. I learned the scientific method and to have an inquisitive mind and examine the evidence before drawing a conclusion.
It was while watching the video about the obvious demolition job on Building 7 that my my eyes were opened to what really happened also to the twin towers. I was in San Francisco for the press conference when the first 1,000 signatures on the petition were acknowledged by Richard Gage and Dr. Stephen Jones, the science professor from BYU who had examined the dust particles from the Twin towers and saw evidence of explosives in them. Dr. Jones was later fired from BYU for speaking about this on public radio. I had Richard Gage speak on this subject in my home in Santa Rosa for an Eagle Forum meeting.

Manipulation of facts by people with profoundly self-centered and nihilistic agendas have become impossible to explain away and ignore. The facts suggest we have been hoodwinked continuously by competing forces, generally hideously evil. The recent blatant election steal is the culmination of events that has sealed our fate- one that requires each person make a choice for freedom or enslavement.

Keeping informed about what the evil satanic global cabal is up to around the world.
I have had my eyes opened to the truth about 9/11 and the WTC buildings that collapsed. There needs to be an investigation to get to the truth for all Americans and citizens of planet earth to know about the true agenda of the globalists. The 9/11 event was all a part of the globalist take-over. They need to be exposed. The bought main stream media needs to be shut down and the truth needs to be reported.

One event might be explained, but when you consider the many events which all happened on that day, alongside the list of key people and what they were doing or didn't do, then it becomes impossible to say the events on that day were the results if terrorists.

I have 2 adult children who have multiple engineering degrees (mining, explosives, nuclear engineering PhD, computer science) and one child with degrees in various sciences (medical/pharmacy professional) They all agree that the buildings came down as a result of controlled demolition. Many, many of their associates agree. Truth is important, no matter how horrifying or scary it may be. The American people deserve the truth.

There is overwhelming evidence by experts firemen engineers structural engineers the general public films etc that show this was not a plane demolition. The evidence speaks overwhelmingly to this being a thermite explosion in waves and building 7 was demolished quite some time after the planes hit. There needs to be a real investigation by the government to investigate all of the evidence that has shown that this was not a demolition by planes!!!

Anyone who is not blind could see that those three buildings were demolished by demolition experts. To fall into their own foot-print at free fall speed has to start at the bottom.

It is clear that the architects, engineers and other professional people appearing in this series of videos are not what could be described as traditional conspiracy theorists. They put across their statements calmly, carefully and after great consideration. After watching this I believe their is enough doubt cast on the official story to warrant a full and independent investigation.

"I did not realize anything was wrong until I simulated the ""pancake"" collapse of WTC1 and WTC2 floor collapse under the assumption of zero structural support, but conservation of momentum as the floors piled upon each other. (A simple Excel spreadsheet). This resulted in a collapse time of ~15 seconds. Clearly, when any given floor reached what had been the floor below it, the latter was already gone. So there had to have been a controlled demolition. After this realization, I studied all the material that was available."
