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 myself a civil engineer in constructions. I am not specialized in fire or skyscrapers calculations. But by the way tower 7 falls just because of fire, meaning perfect, coordinated failure and free fall makes me think that the fire explanation sounds not real for me.

I have worked as an engineer in industry for 23 years in the fields of energy management, process controls, HVAC consulting engineering, manufacturing, oil & gas and aircraft & defense. My specialized areas of study were advanced dynamics & vibrations, fluid mechanics, physical metallurgy and composite materials.
Based on the video presented, I agree with all parts of the analysis and associated conclusions. I believe further evidence displaying more facts (especially prior knowledge) to the 911 story can be found in the time frames a few days before and after the event. Essentially, find & follow the money trails of the persons or organizations who would have benefited from all the destruction...like wall street traders, insurance companies, governments...etc. There is so much more to investigate in putting together this story of what happened and who are responsible.

As a commercial aircraft mechanic, I'm aware of how fragile an aluminum & composite structure is. I always thought it would be a great to see an aluminum aircraft try to fly though a steel girder structure. Just the frame so you can clearly witness steel box frames cut the aircraft to ribbons w/ little significant damage. Of course the engines may seem like bowling balls, but how likely are they to cause damage to more than a very small part of a large structure? Keep the faith guys!

Knowing the basics of structural engineering, controlled demolition appears to be one of the only explanations of why WTC building 7 fell--and possibly the towers. Building fires do not cause steel-framed buildings to collapse. I am unclear why the government would not want an independent scientific investigation involving some of the most respected architects and engineers to take place in the absence of solid conclusions drawn in the official 9/11 report.

That the buildings were BUILD TO WITHSTAND 747 jet collisions is the first, perhaps strongest proof of a 9-11 inside job. Building 7 collapsing exactly as buildings do in demolitions is another good one. That such attacks on our own people have been perpetrated by our government not once but many times in the past sets the precedence.

I find nothing out there that works better. My goal is to leave this world having done more good than harm.
My wife and I feel the truth about what really happened on 9/11 is more important than anything else out there. Our world is headed to something we want no part of. The truth about 9/11 will be the Collapses of the NWO and the Dark Side. We care not about our self's, but this is about our children and grandchildren. We have changed the thinking of many of our friends, we made a large sign for the back of our van. With what we have we are doing everything we can. Good luck and God Speed to all of you.

I am just someone who feels that the 911 Commission has not answered the questions of the American people and we have a right to the answers.
I believe that these three buildings did not collapse due to a plane crashing into two of them. Why did the buildings pulverize into dust? When they disappeared there was not even a large indication on the richter scale.........just something like that of a jack hammer. That would not be indicitive of a building that was solid and crashed down to the foundation of the building.

I initially worked in the agency, acquiring my agents license and then on the company level, handling casualty and litigated files. I am currently on disability and have developed a passion with access to the internet in finding out the truth about this world we live in.
Like others I have watched videos and have questioned what truly happened. It is hard to grasp that our government could be involved in this atrocity. I obviously am not an expert, however, the short interviews immediately after this incident suggest what happened and there is no reason in my mind to question the information that was given. These people had nothing to gain or lose by telling the truth.

I am very doubtful about the official explanation of 9/11 - there are too many things that don't make sense. Main points, though not exclusively, are: 1. The very clear picture of the enormous explosion on a corner of one of the towers with no plane in site. 2. In the images, the nose of the plane is sticking out of the far side of one of the towers, which would be an impossibility. 3. The speed at which the rubble was shipped to Asia for meltdown BEFORE the inquiry began. 4. That all the 'terrorists' were named so very quickly. 5. The falling of the 3rd building that was not touched by any plane. 6. The unwillingness of the US government to carry out further tests and inquiries when there is such a popular pressure to do so. 7. The suppression by the media of much valid input.

I went to De Anza Junior College in Cupertino CA., and received my A.A. in liberal Arts there in 1976. I then went on the the University of California at Santa Barbara to receive my B.A. in English in 1980. Unfortunately I didn't do much with my degree, as I lacked the self discipline to continue on to my teaching credential. since I moved to Maui I have been a substitute teacher, a girl scout leader, a waitress, a bed and breakfast operator, and have been the union steward for my local Hawaii Government Employees Association, bargaining unit 3, for the past 10 years I have lived in Maui, HI, for 29 years and have watched our government lie to us and keep us down for far too long. I write my senators, congressmen, president etc frequently, as well as sign petitions and try to get laws changed or outlawed if I feel they are wrong, like the law against marijuana for example. I am an environmentalist and a farmer with an acre of organic vegetables that I sell at the local farmers market. I am a school health aide at a public school and have been forced to take furlough Fridays 2-3 times a month because the bureaucracy cannot balance it's budget, and once again the little guy must pay for the big guys ineptitude. I want to help take back America for Americans any way I can.
I have known about the engineering enigma in the 911 building collapse for at least 6 years. There are so many questions that are not being addressed, or just plain ignored, and no one wants to talk about it. Why did all 3 buildings fall straight down, as in demolition? How did the steel melt if it caught fire from jet fuel, but burn to the ground? Why did the infrastructure/steel get whisked away to China so fast? Why did building 7 fall down at 5 o'clock that afternoon? How was that engineered in 8 hours? Why isn't anyone talking about the insurance collected, the insurance just bought on the twin towers, by it's new owners that knew the buildings needed millions of dollars of refurbishing to keep operating safely? Where did all the gold go that was kept in the twin towers by the federal government? Why were no reconnaissance planes allowed to fly? My family and I, and many of my friends here in Hawaii, would like real, truthful and believable answers to these and many more questions that have never been answered by anyone in a public way, such as on NBC, CBS or even PBS. America wants and needs to know the TRUTH about 911.

No architectural training, but through using my common sense, and paying attention, I have come to have serious doubts about the official story, and feel it is imperative that we have a full and independent investigation.
there are far too many unanswered questions and stories from individuals which I have heard that do not fit the official story, and videos of the Bldg. 7 collapse which show classic planned demolition characteristics, as well as reports of unexplained explosions from eyewitnesses. If there is nothing to hide, there can be no harm in a full, independent and transparent investigation, which could put this whole matter to rest for many of us who don't think we have the whole truth about Sept. 11.

I am formally educated in technology to the technician level in several fields (IHAWK SAM sys + all areas automotive tech and ASE certified). I stopped watching TV in 1982. I am self educated in many subjects - certainly enough in physics to recognize that the Trade Center towers could not have collapsed the way they did as a result of the collisions and fire damage only.
Until the American public shakes off the trauma of watching the events of 911 for several days, takes a look at the mountain of evidence now easily available and insists that the criminals responsible are brought to justice, the LACK of full faith and confidence in the American people, which is the only value of our fiat paper currency, will continue. The identification of, and prosecution of the real culprits is a prerequisite to the restoration of America. Thank you AE911 for leading the way.

I received my degree in geography, specifically regional development which involves studying how cities develop, including why they thrive and fail, and the sociological, economic, anthropological, and engineering aspects therein. I currently work for a small wireless communications company; while also preparing to apply for graduate school degrees in law and business.
I believe the citizens of the United States have the right to hear the truth regarding this disaster. It is certainly a matter of possible treason for lawmakers to ignore valid questions regarding the razing of these buildings without so much as a thorough investigation by multiple third parties not having any connection to the officials conducting said investigation. The 9/11 commission was an obvious affront to the educated individuals possessing first hand knowledge of architecture and engineering. My family and I have talked ad nausea about the subject and I am glad something is being done to allow the truth to see the light of day; if nothing else other than out of compassion for the thousands that died that day.

I am no expert but I'm also no fool and even a layman such as myself knows that the natural laws of physics would not allow those buildings to fall within their own footprint at freefall speed. And a 3rd building doing the same thing that wasn't even hit by a plane.....................
