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.

Renton, WA
Graduated from WSU in 1995 with a B.S.E.E and a minor in mathematics. I now work as a software developer. I'm a proud new dad. I have interests in finance, and increasingly in an honest government that defends the constitution and helps ensure the America my son grows up in is as good or better than the one I grew up in, with liberty and freedom.
The building 7 collapse was obviously a controlled demolition. There was no direct plane crash, and a diesel building fire somehow caused a perfect demolition internal collapse. This was no accident, and to me, completely discredits the official report, and must be investigated and scientifically explained. I would like a release of any and all evidence related to 9/11, so the public can decide. There are many unanswered questions in my mind. How come raw materials from the demolished building are hidden away in warehouses, and not publicly available? Let independent auditors test metal from the wreckage for nano-thermite. Why is there no open scientific scrutiny and study? Why is the public prevented from seeing an analyzing the evidence? Why were air force pilots kept occupied training for the exact scenario (hijacking exercise) the day of the attacks? (air traffic controller saying is this real world, or an exercise). Where are the black boxes? Security footage tapes? Release the pentagon footage - all of it (there must be some hi-res footage not publicly released), showing the crash, to refute claims it was a cruise missile / inside job, and confirm it was a plane. Explain the Pennsylvania crash - why are there no large plane parts? Explain how black boxes can fail to survive all crashes. These are designed to survive, and yet *all* 4 vanished? This isn't possible. If it were, then there are serious problems with black-box design and a national redesign should be in force. Again, science to overcome this exact scenario (crashes) somehow failed? This contradicts the official report, and must be explained. Explain how diesel can melt steel. Modern material science is advanced enough to show jet fuel can't melt steel (1400 degree jet fuel fires can't melt steel at almost 2800 degrees), so how *did* it melt? Refute nano-thermite questions with evidence. Again, why does science contradict the official report? If it is eventually determined nano-thermite was actually used (contrary to the official findings), then go further, and identify who could have done such a thing? On such a massive scale? Undetected? Open up video security footage from inside the buildings to help identify the individuals involved, expose street camera footage to allow vehicles in/out to be identified so we can understand who could have done this and how they pulled it off. Motive and opportunity. Who stood to profit from 9/11? Follow the money trail. This hasn't received enough investigative attention. The whole affair smells of a cover-up. Too much contradiction with science, too many (easily answered) unanswered questions. If there is nothing to hide, why is all the evidence hidden away in private? All of these issues and many more need serious investigation, openly, by the public, which can only happen with access to the evidence in question. Currently there are too many secrets, too much evidence held in secret, preventing people from analyzing the evidence openly, drawing their own conclusions, and thus determining their own truth. Let's make the evidence public, so people can find truth, get closure, and move on once and for all.

Occupation: Civil Engineer (Retired)
I am a licensed professional civil engineer a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. My total professional level experiences as a Civil Engineer, Senior Civil Engineer design, construction, maintenance engineers add up to 40 years. However, after my retirement, I did not renew my professional engineer license.
My instant reaction, on seeing the Twin Towers destruction was: 'My God!! It is definitely a controlled demolition'. Only a few months ago, I had seen with my own eyes the controlled demolition of a multi-storied Fulton Skyscraper, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.' I am now convinced that 9/11 was an insiders job and fear that one of its' consequences is to put the world's 1.25 billion Muslims on a collision course with the Western world.

Occupation: Architect
I was licensed in 1962 and practiced in Ohio until 1968. I came to NYC in 1969 and worked on the magazines 'Architectural Record' and 'Architecture Plus'. I practiced as an employee of Richard Dempsey and Norman Jaffe, as well as independently. I have taught continuously since: 27 years at Pratt Institute (Interior Design) and 33 years at NYU (Urban Design and Architecture Studies). I was active from 1982 until 2002 with Architects Designers Planners for Social Responsibility.
I've always blamed the collapse of WTC7 on Rudy Giuliani's fuel tank exploding in that multi-story tall ground-floor space. But seeing (for the first time) those videos shown in the film accompanying this petition-signing request, I agree that the fall was too orderly--much as was the fall of WTC2 that I actually watched go down--to have been generated by a single internal blast. I was surprised to see how many interior columns there were when the plan drawing was briefly shown.

From the very beginning I knew that we were being lied to about what happened on 9/11. There were just too many things that didn't make sense to me. The more I looked into it the more concerned I became knowing that I live in a country where our leaders are capable of such horrific acts without the thought of all the lives lost as well as all their loved ones left behind wondering WHY? It makes me sick that there are evil people like this out there & even more so that a lot of them are responsible for running the very place I live. I am so grateful to all who have taken the time & effort to get to the bottom of this cover-up. In my opinion, anybody that even had knowledge of the attacks should be fully prosecuted to the fullest. Having knowledge of it & staying quiet is the same as if you personally committed the act. I believe 100% that the 'REAL TERRORISTS' and our 'GOVERNMENT' are one in the same and need to be brought down for their evil acts.

I have a ged from online classes.. my experience would have to be examining all the evidence and Facts about all that happened that day ..
We need answers for the people who lost their lives for some kinda of financial gain... if I'm not mistaken the day before the before 9/11 .. wasn't there some big news about the government losing trillions of dollars..then 9/11 happened an everyone forgot about it. Too many questions with uncovered answers...we need justice. We are patriots of liberty and freedom.
