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.

Kalamazoo, MI
Occupation: Architect (Retired)
In private architectural practice from 1979 until retirement in December of 2019. Primary work has been in small commercial and residential design. Received a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Detroit (now Detroit/Mercy) in 1970. Interned with Eberle Smith in Detroit, MI; Kingscott in Kalamazoo, MI; and Tower Pinkster in Kalamazoo, MI.
From the first image on TV as I watched the collapsing World Trade Towers on that fateful morning, my first thought was this: What I am seeing is impossible! Airplane crashes cannot have this effect. Building Seven's collapse was equally unbelievable. The minor fires in that building could not bring the building down symmetrically in its footprint. No fire ever before that day brought down a steel-framed highrise. The University of Alaska report is in perfect alignment with the expectations of professionals in the building industry.

Occupation: Structural Engineer
Worked for 6 years in Ireland, where I gained my Chartered Engineers status. I worked primarily on the design of steel frame buildings. I took a huge interest in the fireproofing of these in the wake of 9/11 and quickly began to realise that this simply could not be the cause of the buildings collapse.Since leaving Ireland for Vancouver, BC, I worked as a project engineer for a large ports and marine design consultant.
I have over 10 years experience in designing concrete and steel framed buildings. To date I have only seen the destruction the likes of that seen on the 11th of September 2001 in a controlled demolition. I have experience with controlled demolition and it bears all the hallmarks of a controlled explosion, all three buildings.If it is the case that building 7 collapsed due to fire from office furnishings, why isn't there an immediate investigation into why our design/building codes are insufficient for buildings of this type. This is the most damning evidence off all in my opinion. If the claim that the fire from office furnishing created enough heat to melt steel then I'm afraid every steel framed office/residential building across the globe is at risk, with the high probability of significant loss of life.

My first reaction to watching the first Tower fall on live television was that the building was imploded. Nothing that I have seen or read since has changed that opinion. The official investigation ignored most of the physical evidence. The official investigation also ignored the Saudi and Chinese connections to the event. An independent investigation looking at all of the evidence needs to be conducted to bring those individuals responsible to justice. The implications of all this are horrible. The results of ignoring it are even more horrible.

The science community needs to have full access to all available data, including audio and video recordings, in order to reach a solid explanation of what happened to WTC7 as well as to flight 77, both events having so far the weakest justification from the official story Gathering a database of all available witness testimony would certainly greatly help Seeking truth about 911 should make America stronger at the end

Based on my engineering background, countless hours of educational research and my strong desire to know how things work and why things happen the way they do, I feel strongly that the US government and affiliated agencies have blatantly ignored scientific, first-hand eyewitness and common-sense evidence that contradicts the official reports on what happened on 9/11.

While it may be an emotional journey to undertake, Dennis Kucinich is right, we need to revisit the day of September 11, 2001. There is a huge veil of secrecy concerning the events of that day. Regardless of what you may have heard about what happened on that day, there remain many pertinent questions that need answers. Even with all of the events that are happening around the world today, I cannot think of a more pertinent issue that needs the focus of our attention... to discover the real answer to this one question: What actually caused the collapse of World Trade Center building number 7? There are many severe and meticulously documented anomalies concerning what happened to this building. The real answers to what happened to this building on that day are such forbidden fruit that politicians are afraid to investigate. This is the Achilles heal of the whole 9/11 controversy. Almost anyone who looks at even just the most evident anomalies, will seriously question the official answers concerning that building's collapse. Please familiarize yourself with at least the most evident anomalies of the collapse of building 7. This is meticulously documented actual hard evidence. If you take a minute to review this material, you will realize that for yourself. The question remains: What actually caused the collapse of World Trade Center building number 7?

Especially the mysteriously collapsed WTC7 is remarkable and astonishing and it is a absolutely a proof of a intended destruction of this building.

Self employed 'solo' architect with a structural background -I programmed A TI computer to do structural analysis in the late '70s. Sole proprietor doing mostly single & multifamily custom and major remodel projects. I did all the structural calc's & vertical load analysis as I designed the projects.
Watching the 9/11 events as they unfold and on the spot reporting from firefighters and others about hearing explosions at ground zero and then a day later an adjacent multistory building spontaneously implode and fall to the ground looking exactly like a controlled demolition I began to question what was actually going on. After reading ' Crossing the Rubicon' by Michael C. Ruppert documenting facts of 'inside job' influences and warnings from others I was blown away.

I have two degrees in architecture, one from Rio Hondo College, and a BS from Cal Poly at Pomona. I'm a licensed architect in California. I'm president of an architectural company with two divisions: 'MBA Architectural' and 'MBA Educational Horizons'. I've practiced architecture and have offered preparatory courses for over 30 years to candidates in the process of taking the ARE-NCARB exam and CSE exam as well as professional courses for practicing architects. I've taught at UC Irvine and some other colleges. I've taught in-training programs (ARE & professional subjects) for architectural companies and various AIA offices throughout the United States.
There is much to discuss about the events of 9/11, beginning with why it happened and who might be behind it. It was a major distraction from some events and announcements that were to take place that day; they would have revealed some truths about our world and some of the lies we have been told, among other things. We could also discuss building designs and how to withstand emergencies, evacuations, etc. The events shaped mainstream people's beliefs and prejudices; they induced tremendous fear in people and divisions between them.

Rich McCampbell earned a Bachelor of Science, Chemical Engineering, from the University of Minnesota. He has worked the past seven years as a process engineer in biotech, supporting production of drug substances. The previous 25 years Mr. McCampbell worked as an environmental engineer in the areas of wastewater treatment and hazardous waste management. While working at Otis Air Force Base in 2003, he started to question the government stories about 9-11-01. After the Air Force refused to answer his questions, posed in several FOIA letters regarding typical Air National Guard response times, he began his current mission of exposing the truth about 9-11-01. He is an active member of Boston911truth.org.
The presence of thermite explosives in WTC dust is prima fascia evidence of US involvement in the WTC Towers collapses on 9-11-01. Per the legal requirements of Title 18 Section 2382 of the United States Code I hereby am reporting apparent acts of treason by entities within our own country and possibly within the US Military.

It never did feel as if the public got the real story. It just didn't seem possible that jets flying into buildings could cause them to fall the way they did. I have always been skeptical of what we were told. I trust my intuition.

It is crystal clear the narrative that went out on day one was and is FALSE. There is overwhelming amounts of evidence showing the real TRUTH. Buildings do not fall in their own footprint due to fire, there was demolition charges planted and THERMITE found - molten steel. There are false claims by the droves pertaining to the airplanes in each location. Justice will prevail.

This tragedy of the WTC should never have occurred. Speculation on US government involvement leads one to really analyze the theories of sabotage and hate for the United States. This should never have happened on free country for itβs citizenry let alone any other global country. It changed America forever from that day to the present. We are not free anymore. We lost too many innocent lives that day.

Although I have no relevant qualifications, I have designed and built many small structures which are still standing today. I have also stripped down completely, and rebuilt many car and motorcycle engines. I also designed and installed a full 8 radiator central heating system in my house and double glazing. I therefore consider myself a qualified Architect & Engineer in the school of life!
I have researched extensively on the internet about (9/11) and I fully believe that it was an 'inside job.' Demolition, all 3 buildings. I have no problem dealing with this, but I do feel for the many Americans who find this difficult to deal with. The sooner we all know the truth the better for the whole world.

I feel that an independent investigation into the destruction of the WTC Complex on 9/11/01 is long overdue. A truly objective and scientific study has never been done and we the public know that there are many things about this event that do not add up. Initially, I like most people, did not question the official government explanation about what had happened.

I feel the evidence provided to the American people about the tragic events that took place in New York and DC on 9/11/01 is invalid, potentially fabricated, and have read many reports and seem documentation regarding the explosives that are used to take the towers down. I would like to petition the federal government and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.

This was an inside job that is very evident for profit and military purposes.

I saw obvious and striking inconsistencies and irrationalities in real-time reporting on 9/11/01. The passports of the so-called hijackers surviving the collapse of the buildings when most everyone and everything else was reduced to dust is one example. It was totally implausible that all suspected hijackers from each plane would be identified and supposedly confirmed on that very day. Also, when I saw the buildings fall in a perfect implosion, even as a layman, I knew that was not the result of jet fueled fires. This whole thing smelled wrong from the beginning.

When the news broke I switched to the all news stations. I never went back to this day. I became a sponge listening to everything I could to try and understand how this tragedy could have happened.

A lie to control the public perception of reality. Nothing new in that fact. 9 represents the last digit of evolution. 11 represents 2 towers collapsing. Keep up the work towards acceptance of the truth for the people. No turning back.
