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 can't believe that it takes so much to convince people. I realized it right away the first time I saw the collapse of WTC 7 on video, two years after 9/11/01. In my mind, it is very important to differentiate between 9/11 and conspiracy theories.

I have 35 years experience in instrumentation supporting structural testing. I worked in aerospace for 28 years testing strength of spacecraft materials. I am still active in material testing and hold US patents for load sensors.
After viewing the building 7 collapse, I have to say if somebody told me that a demolition expert was reducing building 7 to rubble I would agree. The thermite connection is strong evidence that somebody orchestrated cutting the under-pinnings of building 7 and probably had the twin towers prepared for demolition.

Occupation: Architect
I am an architect, educator and licensed builder. I have a BS in Environmental Design from University of Massachusetts Amherst, 1976, and a B Arch from Boston Architectural college, 1986. I began my career as a project manager with a number of large architectural firms in Boston before I started my own firm, Timeless Architecture, in 1988. I have been promoting and teaching green design for 25 years, starting with the Boston Society of Architects, where I served as co-chair of the Committee on the Environment (COTE), a sub-committee of the BSA that promotes sustainable design in the New England region. I currently teach at the Boston Architectural College in their Sustainable Design Institute and master's program. I lecture frequently in New England conferences for groups such as the Boston Society of Architects, Boston Area Solar Energy Association, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, and Timber Framer's Guild, and have served on the faculty of Wentworth Institute of Technology. My work has been published in the Boston Globe, Architecture Boston Magazine, Preservation Magazine, Builder Architect Magazine, Cape Cod Islands Home and the Milton Times.
I've been inspired to get involved in this effort by the work of the A & E technical and building professionals like National Medal of Science recipient Lynn Margulis, PhD. With Chris Gruener MA, LMHC of the Boston 9/11 Truth effort, we have submitted a workshop proposal for the ABX 2015 Conference next November in Boston at which Richard Gage AIA has agreed to speak. Here are the learning objectives we have spelled out: 1. Attendees will learn about the dynamics of the three largest high-rise building collapses in the history of the world, with an overview of the National Institute for Standards and Technology final report issued on July 22, 2004. 2. Participants will learn about the destructive capability of high-rise fires, their inability to overcome protected steel frame construction, and peer-reviewed scientific evidence published after the WTC events (compiled by A & E for 9/11 Truth). The use of explosives commonly used in controlled demolition is directly implied by this evidence, which is reinforced by eye witness testimony. 3. Attendees will be introduced to the issues a confirmed controlled demolition would bring up, including massive loss of life, and the ethics and accountability of those involved, including their prejudicial endorsements of the official National Institute of Safety & Technology 9/11 Report. 4. Participants will explore the unique role the building community can play in the critical debate on how the three World Trade Center skyscrapers were destroyed. As with the debate on climate change, input from professional groups like the AIA and the ACSE to educate the public and support a new investigation should help heal the deep wounds left by the tragedies of 9/11/01.

Any ordinary non-engineer citizen who has seen a controlled demolition film clip, like those shown on the Discovery Channel or similar channel, can readily see that the twin towers and WTC 7 were brought down in exactly the same way. After I saw some internet videos on the analysis of the towers' collapse and heard the commentary with it, I was convinced the whole thing was planned. From that point, I started linvestigating the bigger picture about the Bush administration and the Iraq war. Unfortunately, I must conclude that this country has become corrupt to its core - maybe not the Obama administration, we'll have to see - and that a major overhaul of our political system is desperately needed before we devolve into martial law or anarchy.

I took my degree in architecture from 1987 - 92 (5 years degree). Immediately after, I worked at an architectural office in Lisbon but quickly found my happiness working for myself, which I have been doing since 1997.
The WTC destruction, or better yet, controlled demolition and faking of a terrorist attack is the most blatant crime I can remember in my 50 years of life. I believe that if the truth is to be uncovered, it will be a decisive turning point in the way things work. I really am hoping for a quick resolution to this disgraceful situation so as to: give some sense of justice (if possible) to the victims families and to bring the real criminals to justice, signaling to all others that the days of impunity are over. This will be an hugely important precedent to change the derailed and asphyxiated American justice system.

I am an inventor using the knowledge of nanotechnology and singularity to develop products that will allow our own natural health wellness and longevity. With my background in the physics of gravity I knew when it was happening early am on 9/11/01 those buildings were coming down due to sophisticated explosives.
My office was across street from the 69th Regiment Armory, Lexington Ave @ 26th St where Mayor Giuliani sent family member to look for their love one's after the buildings collapsed. Thousands of people on this small street of 26th believing they would find their loved ones. They came with photo's and many stories. With posters of pictures and contact information. Every inch of wall space was posted with people who were not coming home as they were annihilated, meaning reduced to nonexistence as were the computers, desk, chairs, refrigerators, sinks, toilets etc etc in largest buildings in NYC to dust. Fires do not do that. When i get back to FL 3rd week in April I will send this site and post photos that were in NYC Newspapers in the days after 9/11. Of the people trapped in the burning buildings looking out the windows, staring at the ground from the roof. Beautiful blue sky behind the them. Other's in free fall from the roofs as they knew there was no escape.Destiny had arrived at the door. These are the faces of death when a person knows it is over. These are the photo's all 9/11 truther movement sites need to Post as their identity in why they seek the Truth. It is for the PEOPLE LOST that Day in a Instant and for their FAMILIES and Love Ones. The Truther Movement is about consciousness and taking responsibility for being Alive on Earth. This is what we are doing. It is not a conspiracy when one chooses to evolve into being the HUMAN we were put on Earth to be. But consciousness, being present in the moment scares people who want power and control as their personal lives are all about escape and manipulation... If we all expose the truth of 9/11, then they have to face the truth of themselves and the distorted reality they created for themselves...Denial is a very very powerful powerful emotion. Wives of Tiger Woods, Jesse James had to have seen the warning signs of their husbands behaviors but the need for a pretty perfect world, allows the mind, to create shrouds of illusion so they do not have to face the PAIN of Truth and Reality. What People do not understand, Facing the Truth, accepting it, living with it actually sets them free to having a much more satisfying Rewarding Healthier Lives.

BS Civil Engineering, University California Irvine, 2007. I have 10 years experience as a general civil engineer with specialization in the construction industry. My experience relates to infrastructure design (hydrology, hydraulics, grading and earthwork). In addition, I have spent 3 years doing structural retrofitting of large warehouses in order to bring them up to code and increase their hurricane wind resistance.
I do not have enough experience to dissect and double check all of the original structural calculations of the towers. However I do thoroughly understand the laws of physics, building geometry, and materials of construction, and I agree with many other engineers' opinions that the towers would not fall the way they did from a single impact. I thoroughly believe that the towers came down due to controlled demolition.

Occupation: Fire Protection Engineering Consultant
Worked for over thirty years as a fire protection engineering consultant for a world wide insurance company not involved with the towers. Have a BS in Environmental Science and nearly enough credits for an M.S. in Fire Protection Engineering with classes taken at OSU and UMaryland. Spent a number of years in an investigative role both with the insurance company and as an Assistant Fire Marshal with a town in Pennsylvania. In addition, have taught at University level on fire protection systems, and building systems for fire protection.
I have, since the buildings fell, had questions about how they fell. I mentioned to my wife, shortly before they fell, that is would be almost impossible for the buildings to fall due to the lack of sufficient heat loading and due to the fire protection systems in place within the buildings. In addition, in over 30 years in the fire business, I have never seen a pancake collapse of the nature that happened here. I have long wondered about water weight loading from the shattered sprinkler systems, which would have continued pumping until empty or without power, yet have never seen anything about water weight presented by any official investigation that takes that into account in any way.

There are too many unanswered questions about 9/11 in order to believe the official version of events. A more thorough investigation is needed to arrive at a more accurate assessment. There is not enough energy contained in jet fuel to explain the total collapse and destruction of the central core. The molten steel found in the basements of the towers needs to be explained scientifically. The collapse of WTC 7 is also very suspicious.

Didn't seem right from the get-go. Spoke to an electrical engineer during an inspection on the morning of 11 Sep 2001. He had not yet heard that the two towers had collapsed, and couldn't believe, from the simple facts we knew at the time, that aircraft impacts could precipitate a collapse of the World Trade Towers. Soon the President announced names of the highjackers who had crashed the planes, and propagated the story of Al Qaeda as the terrorism perpetrators. Right, and a highjacker left a passport that survived the pulverization of the Towers! Too many plain tall tales and improbable explanations surround the circumstances of that day. Now we can begin to understand that, as Barry Zwicker's Towers of Deception book sketches out, the traumatic shock of the spectacular experience makes the mind need explanation, and the initial propaganda catapulted by Bush and the media that most people did accept as explanation even if tentatively, causes pain when contradicted by countering evidence. Statements of the A/E professionals here provide ample brief summary of that evidence.

For a very long time, I rolled my eyes whenever someone would bring up the 9/11 truth movement. I am no longer rolling my eyes. The video, which clearly shows explosions preceding the fall, and the molten steel/micro sphere evidence have changed my mind about the two towers. The free fall evidence about WTC 7, is undeniable. No thinking, reasoning person, can ignore evidence like this if you look at it with an open mind and a desire to know the truth.

A troubled American who has been uneasy about the 'answers' provided to appease us in the tragedy of 9/11 since the very day it happened. I have no expertise or experience-just a terrible, unwavering certainty that we have been lied to all along. We all need to know the truth-why the hesitation to investigate again? What's the harm if there's nothing to hide? We owe it to the families of the people who died on that day and who continue to die every single day as a result.
I knew from the very first moment I saw the buildings 'fall' that something wasn't right. My mind screamed 'controlled demolition' so loudly and strongly (not to mention horrifyingly) that I could never even consider the explanations/excuses given. Although the implications are extremely hard to accept, the questions and doubts all point to a terrible awareness of how vulnerable we all are and how easy it is to cover up the truth. Fact is, there IS no cover up. The truth is so clear-it's been a case of mass brainwashing! I'll take being called a 'conspiracy theorist' over a blind lemming any day of the week.

I am a high school graduate. I don't know if I have any relevant experience. I have researched 9/11 on the internet and I have a lot of common sense. My instinct is this was a deliberate attack that took planning by more than just some crazy jihadists flying planes.
How can there be a news person on television saying the building 7 was down before the building fell. How about President Bush saying 'When I saw the plane hit ..' He was in a class room in FL. Lies

Having worked for this government for 26 years, I don't trust anything it does. I eventually left as a whistle blower. Before leaving, the Director of a Service Center was forced to leave along with other high ranking managers. I left right before my two years whistle blower protection was to expire.
The people who are responsible for this, no matter who they are, need to be prosecuted. There have been too many false flag events in this country's past not to think this is another one. Think of everything that has happened to our freedoms and the freedoms of other nations since 9/11. This was an excuse for all of those things.

I originally believed the official government narrative for years until, a few years ago, stumbled across a link to the ae911truth.org website, and eventually ordered some of the DVDs and other educational materials, which, upon my viewing/reading them, demolished my belief in the official (Gov't.) narrative.

My first recognition something was not quite right was shortly after the second plane hit the South Tower. The TV switched to a classroom (in Florida, I think) where someone entered and told George Bush about the attack. Bush continued to listen to the students and after a few minutes got up to leave. As he left the classroom a reporter asked him a question. His answer was 'when I saw the first plane hit....'. How could he have seen the first plane hit unless he had access to some closed circuit TV that was focused on the North Tower. As I recall there is still only one picture of the plane hitting the North Tower and that didn't surface until several days later - it was taken by French firefighters who happened to be in NYC. That interview is still available.In '9/11 Revealed - The Unanswered Questions' (Morgan and Henshall), bottom of page 65: There is a picture with the following caption, 'In the midst of the impact crater in the North Tower, where 10,000 gallons of fuel have recently ignited and a furious blaze is supposed to be eroding the entire structure, a woman stands tragically staring ....down at the world below.' She has long hair and is wearing a dark sweater and light pants. Behind her all is dark, obviously no raging fire. I've watched both towers fall many times, and they did appear to pancake straight down - a demolition expert's dream. Just before WTC7 came down, some one was heard(and this too is available on tape) to say 'pull it' - another demolition term. The explosions.......???There are way too many unanswered questions. I've been following A&E's activities for several years. I think you're on the right track.

With all the evidence I have been able to research on my own, there seems to be much doubt on the government story of events of 9/11. In any court of law, guilt is based on whether or not there is doubt. Criminal law says 'guilty beyond a reasonable doubt' and civil law says 'at least 51% favorable/unfavorable'. I look at this 'case' as a trial. Is there sufficient evidence proving the government's story or is there too much doubt? I say there's too much doubt and DEMAND a new investigation with full transparency! It is my right as a citizen to know!

Improvement cannot happen if the need for improvement is not acknowledged. If we want a government that we can trust, we must begin by uncovering the truth about its past actions, hold it accountable, and then operate with a level of transparency that keeps the public informed and that keeps the powers that be in check by an informed and engaged citizenry. We need to know the truth about 9/11, and an official investigation into the destruction of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 is a vital part of gaining that truth and a catalyst for fully understanding the agenda of the perpetrators and what we should do about it.

I was raised on a barrier island off the coast of Georgia, accesible only by boat, and approximately the same size of Manhattan. I am trained as an urban environmental planner with a Master in City Planning from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am currently leading the Lifelong Communities Initiative for the Atlanta Regional Commission Aging and Health Resources Division. I have lived and worked in Copenhagen, Denmark, New York City, Miami, Florida, Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia. I lived in NYC in 1986 and 1987 and visited the World Trade Center and Windows of the World. The work I do now involves identifying and securing funds for transportation options for people with disabilities and older adults who can no longer drive. In researching why it is that we spend BILLIONS on private contractors for 'security', never ending wars and the military but are told that the National Transportation Trust fund has dried up so to bad if people who need to go to dialysis but can't get a ride are walking up to five miles, seniors don't have enough to eat, we only spend 1% on education in this country, what the heck are we doing scraping pennies off the ground to make a difference in the Atlanta region. So I began to do my own research, and so many things I was finding about our tax dollars, where our money is going, who is really 'in charge' or in control of our country, led to oil, the military and the NSA, CIA,Bush, Cheney and 9/11.
I always knew that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. That was known the minute it started to fall. What I was not sure of is how the North and South Towers fell. After doing my own research and hearing from experts and the testimonials from workers on the bottom level or in the basements of the buildings, there is no doubt that these buildings were blown up and the planes alone did not cause them to fall. Additionally, I believe that the plane supposedly that crashed in Shanksville was blown up by a missile, by the white military looking plane that residents said they saw that morning, flying around their community. I also believe that the Pentegon was hit by a missile. There is no way a 747 hit the building and left a round whole half the width of the plane. Shocking and upsetting as it is, I believe our own military, CIA, political leaders such as Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield, and Rice, knew about this and were involved in big and small ways in the mastermining of 9/11. I am ready for those who will not believe that their own 'government', i.e. those with the world's money who are in control of us, would or could do this. Citizens of this country need to wake up and take back ownership of their own rights; the right to know the truth, freedom of information act, and freedom to question authority and put on trial our own leaders. It is time to bring the people who did this, some of our own people, to justice.

I am increasingly skeptical about the Bush Administration's and the 9/11 Commission reports on the attacks. Especially concerning is WTC 7, about which no mention was made in the 9/11 Commission report.

I have training in demolition and fire suppression.
The evidence is clear. The towers and Bldg 7 could not have free fell because of planes crashing into them. Bombing was documented and attested to by hundreds of witnesses. We shall find the perpetrators and justice will be served so help us God.

I have a High School diploma and I have been working in the construction field for about 25 years.
Why did this government immediately destroy the crime scene? Why is there no real transparency regarding this matter? Why has the media refuse to cover the real truth and how does this affect our 1st Amendment, Freedom of the Press? Why almost all serious inquiries falls under National Security where there is no transparency within our government who is engaged in secret proceedings effecting our citizenry?

I was 18 years old when those beloved towers fell. I knew as soon as they fell that there was no way possible that an airplane accomplished this!! I was in 'awe' when the towers fell straight and smoothly. This act was a controlled demolition and the responsible party needs to be brought to justice. I want to know who committed this horrible crime and why. Was there government secrets that needed to be destroyed? What??? Many thanks to all that have come forward!!!

I studied and work in the engineering department on U.S. flagged commercial ships. I have also studied finance and economics for many years.
The 9/11 attacks were well known by intelligence agencies of the U.S. Federal government. There was overwhelming evidence of this. With that said, the U.S. government allowed 9/11 to happen so we could invade Afghanistan and start opium production back up. Indeed, there were plans to invade Afghanistan put on the president's desk before 9/11 took place. Of course there are many other reasons a group of elites would let this all go down, such as taking away civil liberties of common people who many elite see as inferior. War is inhumane and corrupt. It should always be the very last option, and even then should only be used for defense, not aggression. This country is being controlled by a group of very very wealthy elites through lies and manipulation.

I am 38 years old, worked in the environmental sciences for more than 10 years, and am currently a third year law student.
I do not profess to know what happened, however, I still have the exact same unanswered questions that I did on that day in 2001. The official story doesn't square with the physical evidence, that much is certain.
