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: 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.

In 2007, as I started my first year in film school, the chef at the restaurant I was working at turned me on to 9/11 truth. Coming from a conservative background, I denied and repelled the information he offered, that our own elected officials would murder it's own citizens for any reason. He gave me links to investigate the evidence and certain documentaries to watch. Here I am, almost 3 years later and constantly searching for things I can do to wake people up. The best thing we can do is provide indisputable evidence.

I have been project designer for the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (Skyway, East Tie In, and Oakland Touch Down Detour) and the Benicia Martinez Bridge (CA) as well as numerous other bridges valued at over $200M. I am currently working on the planned demolition of the old San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (east cantilever truss) and the new Gerald Desmond Bridge at Long Beach Harbor in California. - - - - I have provided construction engineering services for several major bridges including precast and cast-in-place, prestressed concrete box girder bridges constructed by segmental methods, a major concrete arch structure. a cable suspension bridge, and steel truss bridges. - - - - I was Principal Investigator for the Applied Technology Council project ATC-32 for the development of seismic design recommendations for California bridges as well as serving on several other ATC projects. I have taught several courses on the seismic design and retrofitting of bridges for FHWA, Caltrans, UC Berkeley, etc., and was recipient of the ATC Award of Excellence for Extraordinary Achievement in Seismic Design and Retrofitting of Bridges. - - - - I have conducted forensic engineering studies and served as expert witness for the premature collapse during demolition of the Chile Bar Bridge in California, and participated in the forensic investigation of a steel eye-bar failure on the existing San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge.
It is clear from the additional evidence uncovered by A&E for 911truth that the people have not been told the whole truth about the building collapses during the events of 9/11/01. New evidence may point to sinister participation by elements within our own government. Because of the impact of these events on our current political and financial situation and on the future of our republic, it is imperative that the investigation be reopened to either lay these suspicions to rest or to expose any wrong doing. This will be necessary before we can heal as a nation.

The symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I am very interested in being part of the AE911 investigation and determined to get justice. I feel everyone deserves a second chance and encourage those who want to give up to start thinking more positively. I have a very good sense of character and can sense good or bad vibes when I meet someone. My purpose in life is service. Don't hate or discriminate; just appreciate.
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.

I have read extensively from numerous credible sources to surmise that the collapse of building number 7 in free fall simply does not reasonably seem possible without a deliberate demolition effort.
It amazes me that Building number 7 fell, in free-fall, eight hours after the two main towers. It was not hit by a plane. It did not have fires fueled by jet fuel. It was steel reinforced to hold five times its weight. Yet, it is the only steel-reinforced building to ever fall in the world in free-fall before, or after, this collapse. Again, no plane hit it. No jet fuel fire. FEEMA has yet to explain it. It was the 911 emergency headquarters for NYC. It should have been stronger than the average building, to say the least....

I came to the USA shortly after the towers, and some friends were downloading videos about what had occurred in the World Trade Center. After that, I wanted to know more. I'm 25, from the Dominican Republic, and have a daughter who needs to live in a fair world.
I strongly believe there was a criminal hand in the towers' collapse.

The buildings fell at free fall speed straight down. The damage was not that extensive and the buildings were designed specifically to sustain a direct hit from a commercial airliner and still remain standing. There were clearly visible puffs of smoke in several locations at each building as they were falling that looked suspiciously like charges being detonated. There were firefighters and policemen on the scene who reported MULTIPLE explosions just before the collapse. Afterward, firefighters reported finding pools of molten steel. Steel does not melt from burning jet fuel, as jet fuel does not burn at a high enough temperature to cause steel to melt. I do not blame anyone, as I have no evidence with which to rightfully do so, however if there is nothing to hide, why was there an absolute lack of transparency concerning the incident?

I am 22 years old. While watching the collapse on TV, we could all tell that something was... off. After researching 9/11 on the internet and listening to first responders' statements, I am convinced there was foul play.
I believe the WTC collapse happened because of explosives. There's no way the buildings would have collapsed that way without explosives.

I'm an economist whom the day 911 had shaken so much. I really feel sorry for all those, who lost their beloved in the collapsing towers. I don't care about politics, power. I care about people.
I want to know what has happened. So many people say, these towers should have not collapsed. No one states the opposite. No matter how bad the present administration feel about it: they should investigate, what really happened that day. They should really explain their innocence when so many people - from around the Globe - demands it.

I do not wish to provide this data. However, I would like my name to appear on the petition you will be submitting to congress.
It has been my opinion that the destruction of the Twin Towers was caused not only by aircraft, but by explosives with the building themselves. There needs to be an honest in depth investigation resulting in the how and why these buildings were destroyed. Those responsible need to be brought to justice.

My doubt in the official story didn't occur till I saw an early documentary circulating on the internet regarding the 'attack' on the pentagon. I though what else are they withholding. Upon further investigation, and watching Loose Change 2nd edition, my doubts were proved beyond reason, and there were to many coincidences in the 'official story' for it to be true. This petition needs to be read by every Senator and American alike, so that we can correct this evil, and hold the guilty accountable. What happened to? And Justice For ALL!

hello i am sorry cant answer this as i am no expert but i do know what i see with my own eyes is usually the truth and it doesn't take under 10 seconds for a building to collapse by itself free fall caused by planes the top part of the buildings cannot cause the rest of the building to collapse its impossible.

While I am far from an expert with respect to engineering, architecture, and professional demolition, I find the available video footage of the Towers' collapse to be clearly at odds with the official explanation of what happened. In fact, upon further review there are so many problems with the official 9/11 story that as a patriot and truth-seeker I am concerned that the true perpetrators of the attacks may still be at large. With this in mind, I fully support the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth in their quest to--without pointing fingers or making foolish and/or presumptuous accusations--bring about an investigation much more thorough than the whitewash foisted on the American public by the Bush administration.

Started trading for self with small inheritance. Traded Oil contracts through DIG and DUG. Research on Oil led me to Michael Ruppert and read his book Crossing the Rubicon. Independent research throughout the last year led me to firmly believe that the treasonous activities on 9-11 were conducted by by CIA, FBI. The 19 terrorists were patsy's.
Though I am not an architect nor an engineer, I am the son of a man who was an Engineer who worked on the world's first Nuclear Power Station in Chalk River Ontario. Given that I come from a family that is intelligent and able minded, I fail to see how the US government's story makes any sense about the events of that day. Everything the US government has said about the 9-11 assaults smells to high hell.

I believe the government was alerted of the plan to attack the towers and did everything they could to ensure it would succeed far beyond the hopes of Bin Laden. I remember seeing an interview with Bin Laden, may have been BBC, where one of the party was asked, upon exiting the cave, Are you concerned about how the Americans are going to react? His reply was, T he Americans are easy, kill a few of them and they want to go home. We could fly large aircraft into their tall buildings. That interview took place some months before 9/11. Every war has been a setup.

I am virtually self taught as my education was interrupted by events after WW2. Books I had completed when I was 8 years old in India were dished up to me in Australia when I was 12 even though I was the youngest in class. I left at 14 and studied Ballet full time for a year before leaving for England. At 15 I was accepted into RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] London. Having finished the 2 year course, as it was then I was disillusioned with the theatre as I preferred the classics to kitchen sink dramas. As History was one of my best subjects and I was finding far too many flaws and lies I studied on my own in the reading room of the British Museum London. Here I could read Newton's works, Josephus and other great writers and come to my own conclusions which were opposite to what I had been taught. Although I would have liked to become an archaeologist I did not have the means. It was during this time I met my first husband and for far too many years had to devote myself to bringing up children. I 'woke' up again when I heard William Blum being interviewed on the ABC radio. I wrote down his name and finally bought my first book on the internet. He re-opened my eyes and I was horrified to know what had been going on for so many, many years. I subsequently read Edward Galiano's 'Open Veins of Latin America', and boy did I become enlightened then and no longer believed what I was being told. Although both these books have influenced me greatly I have read and seen so many truthful documentaries, many by John Pilger that made me what I am today. I am presently researching the Unsung Women Of History for U3A where I give courses on women who have virtually been either written out of history or simply overlooked. I am 76 years old and still learning.
It was the Frenchman who produced a documentary about the small penetration by the 'plane' 'which supposedly attacked the Pentagon that made me suspicious. Then my daughter's friend, who was in the SAS [Special Air Services] said he saw the second plane hit the second tower and it had no windows, so he knew it was a military plane. Then in 2008 I saw a documentary in Chile that told it as it was. The collapses and the squibs coming out. The 'hole' in Shanksville with witnesses saying there were no bodies and the only plane flew over and threw some heavy equipment out of the hold. However the FBI were already there walking around as if they were expecting it. When I returned to Australia I went onto the internet and among my discoveries was the impending visit of Richard Gage to Brisbane. I attended the meeting and was 100% convinced 911 was an inside job. Building 7 is the 'Smoking Gun'. Now like Pilger I believe nothing I am told! I do my own research.
