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.

My colleagues were satisfied with the pancake theory in 2002 having no prior experience in structure failures. In 2005 we further thought that documentary material such as Loose Change was very weak and further distanced ourselves from these theories without substance. I then saw the 2 hour Blueprint presentation and some further research which changed my mind. There may be some damage control involved in getting the message out.

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.

As an engineering professional and a researcher in scientific issues, I know its not a question of belief to say if the towers were brought down by demolition or fires. All evidence points to demolition, so demolition it is. About who did it or why they it is an entirely different matter, which obviously must also be subject to unbiased invetigation.

I accepted the official story until I watched the footage of Building 7 collapsing. Nothing anyone told me could change my mind. It was the visual of the very obvious controlled destruction that woke me up. When people ask me what I believe about 9/11 I tell them that I don't believe anything, I suspect things. Belief being a black and white decision while suspicion involves a scale of possibilities. My suspicion is very far toward the positive that 9/11 was a False Flag, self inflicted wound, perpetrated by elements within our own government. I am ready to hear more about what this means. You don't have to prove it to me anymore.

Despite early claims about fire induced collapse of WTC 1 & 2, evidence suggests that the collapse of the three WTC buildings was due to controlled demolition. WTC 7 was particularly suspect in this regard, as it had never been struck by an aircraft. Pyroclastic-like clouds, symmetrical collapse, and molten steel are all indications of a controlled demolition, and all are seen at each WTC site.

I have an AS Degree in Architectural Technology from an Illinois State Public college, and a BS in Computer Information Systems from University of Redlands, California. I worked as a Mechanical Designer for about 15 years designing small mechanisms (locks, cash register drawers, etc. and the tooling to produce them and then as a Systems Engineer for a manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico (10 years), and finished my career as a Programmer Analyst/System Administrator for a multi-national corporation which made electrical components like switches, servo motors, gearing etc.(6 years). I was laid off in Jan. 2011 after completing 31 years of professional employment. I am retired now.
I have always had an interest in architecture and watched with interest the documentary put out by the group 'Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth' as I could never understand why Building 7 collapsed and additionally why all 3 buildings at the WTC collapsed straight down, similar to buildings that were purposely demolished with explosives. I also am wondering why there was no airplane debris at the Pentagon and the Penn. site where the last airliner went down. Having viewed the documentary I have come to view the government reports as suspect, and even lost some respect for our government itself. The only way to restore faith and trust is to have a truly independent investigation and find the absolute truth of the 9/11 events. This is important because so many secondary events have taken place because of the original 9/11 conclusions. Examples: We have given up some of our rights and fought extended wars because of the 9/11 conclusions. If these serious questions of concerned citizens and technical experts, and the serious resulting actions taken by the US government are not worthy of a second look at the 9/11 event then I cannot imagine whose running the government! Certainly nobody I would vote for. And last but not least, the final sad effect of the 9/11 events are the opportunities of the many lives lost, military or not, and money spent on the fight against the 'terrorists' who planned this attack, creating a deficit that threatens to overwhelm our country. I believe in order to expend the capital and human toll that we have spent these years since the 9/11 event, we should not now have ANY questions or doubts, by ANY group, technical or not.

After watching the video, I have cognitive dissonance (quoting from the video) - there are so many factors, issues, unresolved issues that need to be addressed. We should not be afraid of the truth and, in fact, it is unhealthy to do this. This was such an historic event that changed our world - there must be further investigation as to what happened. There is much evidence presented here that needs to be explained - especially World Trade Center Building 7.

It was obvious as I watched the Towers turn to dust from the top 100th story on down in succession with the rest of the crew I worked with in the lobby on television. This was a diabolical plot with many many operators. It was treason from each and every soul that participated in the nearly 3000 murders of innocents. There must be a reckoning, a reckoning in this life for the lives they took and the havoc they have heaped on mankind.

Building 7 came down in near free fall, and both Towers 1 and 2 did as well. That is scientifically impossible from fire alone. Furthermore, the flight patterns of the airliners that day were too precise for amateur pilots to execute. Not to mention the complete stand down of NORAD to even attempt diversion.

Been researching this like many others ever since the first day it happened. It really intrigued me when i noticed all the famous and qualified people started speaking out as well. I also cannot understand why it is made so difficult to do another investigation done by many experts of many types with access to all relevant info like everything else is. That it is this much trouble is unbelievable and just makes things more suspicious.

As a LEGO engineer from years back - I question that damage on one side of a building (Tower 7) would cause a building to come down on its own foot-print at free-fall speed. I am curious as to why office fires have never had that impact on high-rise structures before or since.

There are so many 'conspiracy theories' out there that one is tempted to dismiss them outright. But not all conspiracy theories are created equal. Ask someone if the USA is run by lizard aliens, and they will laugh. Lizard men is a silly conspiracy theory. But, ask someone 'who shot John F Kennedy' and the reaction will be very different. That is a genuine conspiracy.The World Trade Center destruction is more like the latter. There are questions that remain unanswered. Building 7 was obviously a controlled demolition. Let's just start with that.

I received a B.S. in Finance from Virginia Tech, assuming I would make a lot of money working with mergers and acquisitions or work on the stock market in NY. But shortly after I graduated, while only being able to get interviews to be an insurance salesman, I used my technical background that I learned on the job in the Defense Logistics Agency during my internships in college to switch my career to software development. I have been successfully building software applications for private business for 20 years and to this day I still stay away from any government contracts because I grew to dislike the government after only interning there during college and got a first-hand look at how dysfunctional the government really is.
There are too many unanswered questions (unanswered by the government).

Comparing videos of actual controlled demolitions with the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, I see a shocking similarity. All 3 of the buildings fell the exact same way as a controlled demolition. What are the chances of ONE building falling in this manner, much less THREE on the same day?

Years after graduating I invested hundreds of hours into investigating the 9/11 Commission inconsistencies, discovering quickly that it had vast amounts of incomplete explanations.
The buildings acted as if the lower sections of their structure did not exist at all as they fell identically to each other. The collapses seem obviously aided by explosives and cutting charges. First hand accounts of explosions on the lower floors along with the explosions on the sides of the towers visible on footage of the event prove that likelihood.
