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 have always suspected that the cause of the towers collapsing was not from the planes/jet fuel. Like any other American can do, I went to the internet to see how hot jet fuel can get & the temperature that it takes to melt ANSI steel. It's impossible. Plus both towers came down exactly like when the J.L. Hudson store in Detroit was imploded. The motive, I believe, is to get Americans to be so fearful that they give up their civil liberties. A lot of Americans have become so smart, that they've become stupid!

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

The thermite evidence is difficult to explain away, and in my opinion the buildings simply fell too quickly, and the analysis afterward failed to explain the reasons why the central cores of 1 and 2 collapsed. WTC 7's collapse is completely unexplainable in my view and requires more investigation.

I received my B Arch degree from Iowa State University in 1991. I've been a registered, practicing architect in Wisconsin since 1994. I'm currently a licensed architect in three states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Colorado. I have completed over one hundred projects over the past twenty-plus years of architectural practice as designer, project architect, and supervising professional. I've been a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and a board-certified member of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) since 1994.
The moment I saw the towers collapse like a controlled demolition, I was in disbelief. A day later, I learned about WTC 7. When I saw footage of WTC 7, it looked identical to a controlled demolition. I have since moved on with my life, disbelieving the government account of the 9/11 commission. The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth video has reconfirmed, with scientific evidence, my initial impression as a professional architect.

As I watched the collapse occur on the morning of 9/11/01 I was shocked because I had been sure that the buildings would not collapse as I watched for the time between the impact and the collapse. The failure mode made no sense to me as I watched it. I read the article in the New Yorker about the structural engineer of the building about a month later. He wondered if the fault lay in a cost cutting measure at the time of construction that was forced on him - one in which less insulation was wrapped around the steel. He blamed himself for the failure. I find the 9/11 Blueprint for Truth Evidence far more convincing.

Occupation: Professional Engineer
I'm a professional engineer with over 40 years of experience. I'm currently licensed in three states: Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. My education and experience relate to the properties of materials used in building port, harbor, and bridge infrastructure. As a licensed civil engineer I have been trained and tested in competency related to civil engineering including structural design and the behavior of building materials. My formal education in engineering and related fields was at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. I was trained in arctic engineering in Alaska, where I worked on the Alaska pipeline project for Bechtel. My job included monitoring controlled demolition work to create a cut at the summit of the Brooks Range, in preparation for road and pipeline construction.
Like others who have commented I also have a huge question about how WTC building 7 came down later in the afternoon of September 11th. By visual observation, all three buildings exhibited free fall characteristics very similar to characteristics of a controlled demolition. Reviewing literature that described the structural members I have serious doubts regarding the free fall collapse of the interior columns of WTC 1 and 2 buildings over a distance of close to 100 floors as a result of a limited amount of jet fuel. It seems more likely that the majority of fuel burned quickly near the point of impact, consistent with other aircraft crashes. The huge fireball and black smoke observed shortly after the impact suggests the majority of fuel burned quickly and the fire became oxygen depleted. There was likely not enough fuel reaching the lower floors to cause a complete collapse of either building. There were reports of nanothermite in the dust, of molten steel in the basement, and of local fires burning for a week or more after the event. There were reports of multiple and sequential explosions. Some explosions were even reported prior to the impact of the aircraft. These facts all raise more questions about how the buildings may have actually been brought down.

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.

I was formally trained by the government in aerospace technology: airframe structures, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems and the materials and methods for repairing and replenishing these systems. I was also trained and refreshed annually in aircraft firefighting. I was involved in aircraft accident recovery efforts and reconstruction. I worked as an aircraft corrosion specialist dealing with composition and subsequent treatment of metal alloys and their deterioration properties. This included metals subjected to many different stresses such as heat, vibration, acids, salts, biological attacks, and deterioration due to improper alloying.
Based on my past experience with aircraft fuel fires and their documented effect on metal structures, I simply cannot accept the official version of what happened to the three buildings that fell on 9/11. Given the temperature at which jet fuel burns, and the quantity involved in this particular incident, I believe it is patently impossible for it to heat a steel structure of the kind found in WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 to the point of catastrophic, free-fall collapse such as was exhibited by all three of these buildings on that day. I have personally witnessed mild-steel structures subjected to repeated applications of burning jet fuel over the course of days and weeks with no significant damage resulting to these much weaker structures. There is simply no logical reason to accept the NIST evaluation of the fuel fires on 9/11.

Recently retired after a 38 year civil engineering career in CA and OR - 15 as a consulting engineer and the remainder primarily in federal government service - COE, FAA, USFS and BLM.
Most state engineering license regulatory agencies state something to this effect: Registrants shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property and welfare of the public. (OAR 820-020-0015) This is paramount to a licensed engineer's duties. I've studied and pondered the information and comments made by engineers and architects who are likely guided by such licensing rules and who have more expertise in the subject than I do - both in and outside of your web site. I believe them. The facts presented make logical sense and reinforces the intuitive engineer in me that thought something was suspicious regarding the events of that day. My doubt of the official story has increased accordingly over time - thus I sign your petition.

I am a business woman, mother of 4, and I have been aware of the lie that is the September 11th narrative almost from the beginning. The evidence is overwhelming that this was a well planned false flag event to benefit a few powerful parties mostly in the US. It is the single greatest government deception (to my knowledge at this writing) placed upon its people.

This is an explosive collapse with material turning to dust midair and ejecting outwards. Something is different and there is no way that an aluminum winged aeroplane could slice through the walls like a hot knife through butter. So many lies and coverups obviously told. I believe it was a false flag and an inside job. Many goals achieved but data gathering went onto hyperdrive, Data from everyone 24/7. Freedom of speech and many other human rights have 'disappeared' as a result of this. Right up till today where we are in the midst of the next big false flag, a plandemic to usher in a totalitarian technocracy and a new world order. Same people behind both I am sure of it.

The evidence of Thermite and the obvious freefall of the the two main towers alone warrants a new investigation. Building no. 7, hit by no plane and nowhere near enough debris, also fell, leading one to ask, 'What offices, and physical evidence, files, etc. were so damning that had to be destroyed?' And what Silverstein's public comment, 'The decision was made to 'pull it', ..uh, we had to pull it.'This was a take down, the motive and players, Carlyle Group, Demolition Ink, etc etc are all implicated and should be brought to justice.

I watched the very first images of what happened on 9/11/2001 on local media and throughout the days and weeks that followed. From the beginning, things didn't look right and when the buildings started to fall, they fell in a manner that looked like a perfect demolition. For 19 years I knew it never happened the way it was being portrayed.

Anyone with half a brain & the ability to critically think for themselves KNOWS that the official narrative is 100% total BS! It is physically impossible for the Twin Towers to have come down due to the impact of ANY jetliner, yet ALONE in the fashion they did! I have two words for you...Thermite demolition! And how about building #7, aka the smoking gun! EVERY person in America needs to watch the documentary 'Loose Change'! Nuff said.

This event is still fresh in my memory. Back then there were all kinds of events that raised questions and still raise questions. In recent years, new facts have emerged that have not been explained or included in investigations. Therefore, this needs to be re-examined thoroughly to find out the full truth and also without any censorship. The victims and humanity have the right to the truth.
