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 am a union construction electrician in New York City with Local #3 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. I have worked in several high-rise projects in the New York City area and am familiar with many aspects of construction and fireproofing but I specialize in electrical installations. I belong to a community of workers that has over 50 years of experience building nearly all of New York City's high rise buildings, including the World Trade Center.
I have found that any person with experience in construction, when presented with the facts, is led inexorably to conclude that the official story given on 9/11 is a patchwork collection of reverse scientific method pseudoscience. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth promotes a much more rigorous scientific account of the events on that tragic day than our government has offered us, apparently relying on the American people's ignorance of structural engineering and promoting a consensus in the engineering community that doubting the official story will compromise their career.

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in Industrial Engineering in 1963, continued for two more years in Electrical Engineering in a Masters Program at UC Berkeley. In 1967 I began full-time employment as an electronic engineer for the next six years. After this time I continued to work as an electronics and then software engineer for several other companies.
After reading all of Professor David Ray Griffin's books about 9/11 -- especially his last one, The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7 -- I find it simply impossible to believe the official government conspiracy narrative regarding the events of 9/11. The NIST report of WTC7's collapse was, for me, the icing on the cake confirming my disbelief.

It's incredible to see and analyze the mass of evidence which speaks against the official version of 9/11. The official explanation for what happened on this day, in connection to all the open questions, is in my eyes absolutly ridiculous. It's not really scientific! Therefore we need a new independent and transparent investigation with an international team of scientists. Otherwise we will never have the clearness of what really happened on this historical date. Also, we will never understand the reasons for all the civil rights cutting processes, which have happend all over the world since this huge crime.

Currently supporting The United States wounded military; working issues of drug abuse, suicides, and Incarcerations. I am also working directly with the Department of Defense and the Secretary of the Army's office, U.S. Generals and Commanders at bases across America. November 2004 to Jan 2009 ~ Texas State Representative for the Severely Wounded Worked independently under the Department of Defense; ' Rally community involvement, building relationships with Mayors, Chamber of Commerce and business owners, and leaders of the communities. Promoting support from all sectors. ' Built confidence, support with local citizens, promoting awareness with Texas State Representatives, Congresswoman Kay Granger, Congressmen, and Governor Rick Perry. ' Finding families that have had little or no support that have just gotten out of the hospital and returned home needing help. ' Create unity and awareness with community for wounded Veterans and family members. ' Work with non-profit programs that offer activities to allow new families to attend their programs, and help schedule flights for the families to and from events. ' Providing guidance and programs for drug abuse, attending job fairs, and support for finding jobs in local community and in other areas of residency. ' I have received support and worked with many foundations, Roger Staubauch , the Mark Cubin Foundation, Ross Perot, Metroplex Marines, Gold Star Family Foundation, Professional PGA Golfers and PGA Foundation, and worked with Hollywood actors such as Gary Sinise.
I am not only a supporter of our Severely Wounded Military Heroes who joined our Military because of 9/11 but the mother of one of these men who joined due to what was assumed as an attack on our country. My own son being shot in the head loosing 30% of his frontal lobe. I, like hundreds of thousands of others, have seen enough evidence that proves that 9/11 was a conspiracy of the government against our own country and the people of America. We want this full investigation to move forward and all evidence brought forward and used to show that the twin towers were blown up intentionally, pre-9/11, floors were shut down with tenants hearing drilling and pounding sounds, photographs that prove flashes of light were seen throughout the buildings as though they were separate floor explosions simultaneously, causing the buildings to collapse like a demolition explosion. There is too much proof to show our government is responsible for war crimes against the American people to cause a war all because of greed, money and controlling world disasters.

In 1998 I received a masters degree in architecture from UVA. I worked as an architect for several years in Boston before moving to Paris in 2005. I have since worked on the design development for 3 high-rise office buildings throughout Europe. I am now the project architect and designer of a 48-storey office tower in La Defense (just outside of Paris) that is to be completed in 2013.
I have been suspicious of how the 3 buildings collapsed since watching them fall live on TV. My doubts about the alleged causes of the collapses have only increased the more I am involved in actual tower design.

I have worked for 30 years in the design and manufacture of mechanical and electrical systems, primarily in the aviation industry. My work history is also included some structural design work.
In my judgment the collapse of Building 7 was a controlled demolition. I see no other plausible explanation. I would also say that the destruction of the Twin Towers pretty obviously involved some sort of explosive devices. The forces and energies evident in the collapse videos, in my opinion, are not consistent with the impact of airplanes and resultant fuel fires alone.

The collapse of Building 1,2 &7 are so similar to controlled demolition of other buildings...that it isn't even funny. Fire does not cause buildings to collapse at near free fall speed! Why does the government want to suppress a new independent investigation? We as the American people, not just professionals need to demand a new truly independent investigation!

I graduated from college and passed my Mass. state E.I.T exam in 1991. Upon graduation, I began working for a local engineering firm doing HVAC design for commercial buildings. I then moved on to performing structural analysis/ design for the same firm, and finally ended up as a manager in charge of demolition projects for a Natural Gas equipment company, where I worked for 8 years. I have since moved on to being self-employed in an unrelated field.
The buildings that fell on 9-11-01 appeared to me, to fall at near FREE FALL speed. Without performing any experiments or calculations, and just relying on pure, old fashioned common sense, this is not possible in a steel building .... even one that had the structure weakened by fire. If the Pancake theory is correct, it stands to reason the resistance that the falling mass would encounter as each floor collapsed, would slow down the fall, at least intermittently. I simply DO NOT believe the official report and would like to see a new independent investigation.

Prior to my life as an electrical engineer I worked in residential construction, most of the time installing and finishing drywall.
I became interested in a possible cover up of the true nature of the collapse of the WTC towers after reading some of Dr. Steven Jones research on the matter. Dr. Jones was an archeologist/physicist at BYU before resigning due to the controversial nature of his research into the 9/11 attacks. BYU had no desire to have their name associated with controversial topics of political nature, as I'm sure it is something most institutions would seek to avoid. Dr. Jones makes a compelling case for controlled demolition on the WTC towers.

When I watched the collapse of the WTC buildings, I knew there was something fishy about the whole affair. No building of that size goes down in free-fall speed, and collapses in his own foot-print. It looked to me more like a typical controlled demolition with explosive charges, remember the King Dome in Seattle. Jet Fuel is like Kerosene with a low flame point, its fire temperature is never high enough temperature to melt steel. There was a high-rise in Madrid that burnt for days without coming down.

I always felt that this happened too precisely and that it was very odd how it happened. Never thought that the way that the planes hit and went through the buildings could actually happen that way (the Wiley Coyote pattern). As I get older and wiser, I've not got a lot of confidence in what is being revealed to the public as to what is actually happening today with politics, technology, and otherwise. I feel that there is a huge mask placed over much of what is happening in the name of National Security.

When I saw the collapses on TV, I thought they were unusual but did not question the mainstream media (MSM) account. I heard about Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth on Coast to Coast Am last night, and they presented the evidence for controlled demolition. I am now aware of it and believe it is the truth; it is obvious that it was controlled demolition. I want to know who was responsible and how they did it.

There needs to be a structural evaluation of the failure of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 on September 11, 2001 in New York City. I believe there is no possibly way the buildings could have collapsed the way they did without a professional demolition effort. All three buildings should have fallen over first.

I am very concerned that the government can present a story about what happened on 9-11 and everyone, including the press, just believes it because they say so, regardless of conflicting evidence or lack of supporting evidence for the official story. Something terribly bad happened on 9/11 and after. This country can not get back on the right course until the events of that day are THOROUGHLY and TRULY investigated and justice served for the 3000+ of my countrymen that died that day and those first responders who are still dying.

Clearly there is NO WAY the buildings of 9-11 could have collapsed (especially at free fall) from the fires and damage they sustained. Why there has not been a total debunking of the official 'report' before now is a total mystery to me.

The aircraft were not controlled from the cockpit when they hit buildings 1 and 2. The aerobatics with aircraft full of people, full of fuel, full of cargo, could not have been done by human control. They precisely bank and swerve into specific floors, middle, with precise bank to allow floor above and below to slice open the fuel tanks in the wings for immediate surface-of-building fire and smoke (maximum psychological/terror affect). This required a quartz altimeter (accurate to two feet elevation). The inexperienced Saudi alleged pilots would have simply flown straight into the buildings, open above surrounding buildings, not requiring any radical maneuvering what-so-ever.

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.

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.

I am extremely concerned about the melted metal found versus temperatures found in a normal 'office fire', as well as the quickness and direction of collapse. A friend of mine receives full physicals every 3 years, paid for by the government, since he helped in the recovery effort; knowing that he could have/has inhaled metallic microspheres is alarming.

First, verify the facts. Leave the speculation to later. Based on the photographic evidence of the collapses alone, there are a host of issues that cry out to be openly debated until there is a complete and consistent explanation of events. Without a truly independent commission, speculation will remain rampant and conspiracy theory(ies) flourish. It would be even less likely that those responsible will be brought to justice if we can't agree on what brought the buildings down.

It is difficult for me to believe from a technical point of view that building 7 collapsed as the official report indicates from fire and debris damage. Portions of the building may have collapsed from damage however, the entire building collapsed symmetrically including the portions of the building which were in no way compromised as a result of the collapse of the twin towers.

Major holes in the official story: - - - - 1) Building collapse geometry and timing (Straight down near free fall speed. - - 2) WTC 7 collapse impossible within any conceivable natural disaster scenario. - - 3) Nano-Thermite - - 4) Imbeciles supposedly have the ability to flawlessly fly jet aircraft directly to their targets. - - - - My opinion is that the 9/11 investigators don't even believe their own report - otherwise why has their been NO call for a revision to the structural building codes? Supposedly there had been a major structural steel frame building collapse at near free fall speed due to very minor structural damage and fire only (WTC 7). If that was actually the case then at the very least the structural building codes should be reviewed and revised as needed. And then with that new code in hand every steel-frame high-rise building in the country should be evaluated with probably most of them requiring retrofitting and redesign. Do you see any of this activity? Wouldn't that be the responsible action to take if WTC 7 and the other buildings had actually failed as the official government story? - - - - The buildings were brought down - that's not a conspiracy theory, that's a fact.

I have 23 years experience as a mechanical engineer. I hold a BS in Civil Engineering and a AAS in HVAC design. I have worked as a consulting engineer, marine engineer, mechanical contractor, waste-water plant operator and building maintenance engineer. My educational background in civil engineering combined with my work experience, mainly in mechanical engineering, has given me a broad background in all aspects of engineering and construction.
I was working for a consulting engineer (Lizardos Engineering, Albertson, NY) at the time of the first bombing of the Towers in 1993. Two of our engineers were in the building at the time of the bombing. They returned to the office unharmed but certainly shaken up and covering in soot. I don't really think anyone needs to be an engineer or physicist to look at the footage and evidence from 9/11 and come up with many questions.The manner in which all three towers fell is not remotely consistent with the official explanation. The official explanation, in fact, is not even remotely consistent with the laws of physics!
