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.

Occupation: Senior Energy Efficiency Engineer
I'm an electro-mechanical engineer, 62 yrs of age with a career in design, maintenance, and operations mostly in heavy industry (chemical, non ferro and food processing). Since 2003, worked as a energy efficiency consultant in Belgium and Asia, till 2014 when I became a technical due diligence engineer for the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg.
The WTC destruction changed world politics and gave reasons for politicians to develop very harsh and expensive anti terrorism actions worldwide. It's important for the public to see if these policies, that had and still have very intrusive negative consequences for many world citizens, were based on genuine information and were sound decisions. The public community has the right to have doubts. It is up to authorities to provide valid and strong argumentation to counter these doubts and bring acceptance to the public.

On 9/11, I was in Barcelona, Spain and watched, on CNN, as an airplane hit tower #2. I also saw flashes of light on a floor below the impact. My immediate conclusion was that there must have been preplaced explosives that caused the flashes. I have always wondered about that.

It is unbelievable that these buildings fell into their own footprint without assistance. I don't understand how jet-fuel could burn hot enough to cause thermal expansion or how Building 7, which wasn't even hit by a plane, could fall from an ordinary fire?

I am a structural engineer and architect with an active practice in Las Vegas NV. I'm also a retired hospital engineer and director of engineering services, and have had a long term private practice in Washington DC working for the federal government. I regularly practice structural engineering for low rise buildings. I have also done mechanical and electrical engineering in support of architectural design for many clients over my career.
"I have lived in Las Vegas NV and I have observed many intentional building demolitions that appeared identical to the 9/11 building ""collapses"". When I watched the 9/11 attacks I thought to myself that those buildings were designed to withstand this type of calamity. Yet they collapsed perfectly, without harming any adjacent buildings, just like a controlled demolition."

No steel framed high-rise had ever collapsed due to fire before 9-11-01, none since. Yet we are asked to believe that THREE buildings collapsed due to fire on 9-11-01. Many buildings both before and after 9-11 have fallen due to planned explosive demolition. The official pancake theory of WTC1 and WTC2 doesn't hold up. All you have to do is watch a video. The pancake theory posits that the floors collapse one on top of the next. That's not what you see. To say that the three buildings collapsed is not really accurate, the buildings disintegrated. Large amounts of material were ejected laterally from WTC1 and WTC2. Reinforced concrete turned to dust in midair, and the buildings fell so fast that it's clear that the building structure presented no resistance at all. In the words of Dan Rather: Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when a building was destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down. Where came the energy to slice steel girders and pulverize concrete? Not from a kerosene fire, that's for sure, yet that's what we're asked, no told, to believe. We need to reopen this investigation.

Three decades of professional civil engineering experience. Work included utility design and design of structures.
I concur with the Chief Editor of Fire Protection Engineering, who cited the 9/11 Report as a half-baked farce. The report is worse than a farce; it is criminal in its negligence to investigate the truth. Steel buildings do NOT fail in the manners we witnessed, except for those demolished by controlled demolition.Until this matter is properly investigated, the truth revealed, and the perpetrators punished, America will NOT be a free country.

I graduated from Clarkson University in 1998. I focussed my attention on structures, optimization, and renewable energy. I took a graduate level course in Finite Element Analysis and that gives me some background to critically review the NIST studies on the WTC collapses.
Upon seeing the video of the WTC 7 collapse, I could see immediately that this was a classic case of controlled demolition. Clearly the core columns were cut first -- as shown by the center of the roof beginning collapse before the rest of the building -- and then the rest comes down at free-fall. Classic and unmistakable. If the WTC 7 was demolished, why not WTC 1 & 2? If there were any demolitions, then clearly 9/11 was an inside job. Period. We must find out who did this crime before they strike again in America -- perhaps with an even greater crime.

There is little doubt that WTC7 was brought down by planned demolition as any qualified expect can attest. WTC1 and WTC2 also fell due to more causes than fire. They also appear to have had planned demolition cause their collapse. These aspects must be investigated to yield the true story of the 9/11 tragedy. History and justice for families and the American people demand the answers.

I have a Bachelors of Applied Science in civil engineering. I am an intelligent person with a solid educational foundation in the physical sciences.
The nature of the buildings' collapses alone raises so many questions from the perspective of scientific plausibility that I believe it justifies another better, sensible and comprehensive examination of how precisely the towers collapsed. Add to that additional doubts about so many other aspects of the 9/11 official narrative (from whether the President saw the first tower hit on TV to how terrorists could take such advantage of the surfeit of war games on that day), and I think there's no doubt we're in need of serious inquiry.

Occupation: My Last Job, That I Retired From 2 Weeks
Born and brought up in Manhattan during the depression. Attended primary school in lower Manhattan, Then, at age 7, moved to Peekskill, NY, where I completed grade and high school. Worked in Peekskill and NYC for almost a year. After Pearl Harbor, volunteered into US Army, where I remained in NY and NJ. Received medical discharge, and with VA scholarship, was able to complete 2 years at University of Arizona and then NYU, where I received a B. E. E. Continued studies at NYU graduate school while I worked as a graduate assistant in the Engineering Department. Worked for 50 years in construction design in and around NYC, including several years in my own engineering business. While working, bought and converted to residential use an old, empty industrial building within Ground Zero. Moved there with my family in 1992. Retired in August, 2001, went for short vacation to Italy, and returned to my own bed on September 10, 2001, where I was awakened by the sound of the first plane crashing into the WTC.
I lived and worked in lower Manhattan before the WTC was built. I witnessed and was involved in several projects within the WTC during and after its construction. On 9/11, I was awakened by the noise of the crash of the first plane into WTC 1 and witnessed the fire and distruction caused by that event. While I was watching, the second plane hit WTC 2. My wife and I left the area by bicycle 20 minutes before the collapse of the North & South Towers, which we witnessed from 1 mile north. My house is 2 blocks from WTC 7, which collapsed several hours later. I was allowed to return to the area 1 week later. I was disturbed by the height of the debris caused by the relatively small WTC 7 compared to the smaller mound from the Twin Towers. Since then I have been following the conspiracy theories, and have found much in them to be accurate and troubling more accurate than the official government reports.

I left school at age 18 and worked in various factory's and farming jobs until I was 21 years old. I then went to London to work as a computer operator. I have since worked for over 46 years in the IT industry for a number of Banks, Building societies, Insurance companies and Energy companies.
I was in London when I saw the events of 9/11 unfold on a TV. At the time it happened, I kept getting flash backs to a centre page Daily Mail news article that described how terrorists could hit the twin towers with planes. Although, even this article stated the steel structure design would stop the towers from collapsing. I believe that this news paper article was produced in the late 1970's or early 1980's, but I've since been unable to locate it. I believe the original 9/11 report was a whitewash with many unanswered questions being over looked and a lot of key evidence being destroyed. As a result, I would like to see a truly independent investigation into 9/11.

Been an RN for a bit over 30 years. Doubted many things in my life, ie propaganda I've been fed. Past few years have been more involved in seeking the truth. I believe in truth no matter what the cost, but sometimes the truth is hard to take. We are always being lied to.
Watched this happen in real time when I was living in CT. Went to Ground Zero the following February 2002. Since then I've heard other thoughts that it was impossible for a plane to hit the Pentagon by the size of the hole. Watched George Bush's face when he was told about the event. He was in a classroom. I'll never forget that look. Like he knew all about it. Just a feeling.

I studied Civil & Structural Engineering at University before completing an Associate Diploma in Science (Construction) in 1991. I had my builders license in Australia and owned a small Construction Company prior to my calling to the priesthood in 1995. In 1994 I visited the Twin Towers and was amazed that it was design to withstand the impact of a plane.
Having had a career in the Construction Industry, I believe that all three towers at the WTC were brought down by controlled demolition.

I graduated high school in 1986 , I currently hold no professional license in anything , I am a single white male over 50 so my opinion doesn't matter much to the mainstream society we have nowadays , but I am glad and honored to sign this petition , I learned 3 years ago of the corruption concerning 9/11 and I've followed it ever since , I feel like I have a good idea who was behind it although I don't talk about it much because when I do people will want to change the subject they're not open-minded. Thank you for this opportunity and God bless you and God bless America.
I remember what I was doing the day it happened and I never thought of it being an inside job until about 3 years ago when I saw a documentary about it I now believe that a lot of politicians know about it and the wrong persons were blamed for it.
