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: 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.

Police dispatcher whose husband is a FBI certified bomb tech. I could not reconcile the initial coverage with subsequent coverage with questions I had which were in no way addressed by the 911 report, so I began sifting available data, working to eliminate that which appeared ludicrous to me. There remained a preponderance of information, much verifiable, which contradicts the official story.
The evidence presented needs to be reviewed by our national - not to mention local - officials. An actual investigation predicated on all the available evidence must be undertaken by our government, with entirely open access.

I'm a civil engineer and project manager for the FAA. I have 25 years experience building National Airspace System critical facilities, including the construction of air traffic control towers.
I have serious doubts about the cause of collapse of WTC 1 and WTC 2, as well as WTC 7. The indications are that they came down in a controlled-collapse manner, and this casts a dark shadow over the official published story. I have worked on projects involving controlled demolitions of decommissioned air traffic control towers. My opinion is that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition, contrary to the official story.

I have always thought something was not quite right about the collapse of the two WTC towers. The way they disintegrated and created so much dust and smoke just does not make sense. And building 7 is completely bizarre. One second, a complete office building with some small fires, and then a perfect free fall collapse into its footprint.....amazing. We need to do a complete re-analysis of this event.

The need to find out the full truth about the collapses, whatever it is. Concerned about the fact of absolutely all-sided perfect symmetric drop down, while both burns and TOP collapses were absolutely asymmetrical. Concerned about the totally simultaneous drop of floors, ceiling cage AND core. Every structural logic tells us that the core must stand or fall over later. These are two strongly visible feats. Besides hundreds of little details.

The official explanation of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 overlooks key evidence that absolutely should be incorporated into the investigation. The fact that building 7, with limited office fires in a relatively small portion of the building, collapsed instantaneously and symmetrically at the acceleration of gravity with almost no resistance at all from the concrete and steel below is alone bizarre enough to warrant further investigation. The investigation should be about truth and nothing else.

23 year member of the international brotherhood of electrical workers for inside construction. I've been on numerous large scale construction projects, both industrial and large scale commercial. Back in 2006 I had the opportunity to work at a Florida power and light facility in Indian town, fl. What I saw there led to me questioning the official story of 9/11. A bad gas valve at power house blew flames on to a 12 story, bare steel structure for hours. Fire rising over 300 feet in the air. The main column it was hitting barely twisted a little at the top. Granted we had to replace a lot of wiring and smaller braces of the structure, I realized at that time the myth the media had been selling. I started looking into the events of that fateful day and learned building 7 also met it's demise. Years later, I still find sheeple who think only two buildings fell that day. I've had enough. Everyone I know will learn what I have and I'm happy to find a rational place to send them. Thank you, j.a. Maisano
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the towers didn't collapse. My 11 year old son didn't believe that bunk when he was eight. He loll, frankly, and said adults are stupid.

This was more than meets the press. The impacts do not match the physics of the collapse. It will remain a focal point in many agenda's until the real data is actually presented. It was a dramatic and highly strategic move used as what is obviously a distraction to motivate another action.

I've been in the construction business and assisted in the construction of load bearing frame work so with that said I was initially confounded by building 7's demise. After watching an unbiased diagnoses of the collapse by your site my hunch turned into full blown suspicion. The truth is being hidden from us.

Always a student, never a master, I'm always interested in learning more from those who have the proper tools.
The collapses had to have been planned - there is no way the building could come down at freefall speed like it did unless all resistance was removed. Plus. the steel frame would have remained. They were also not at usual capacity for that early on a weekday

35 years experience building commercial and residential structures gives me a familiarity with blueprints and understanding of practical engineering.
Reading the A&E's reasoning and seeing the film footage makes me have a very difficult time believing the official version of events. I have to say watching the buildings collapse live immediately made me pause and say this is not real. The only 3 skyscrapers in the world to ever collapse from fire, I say prove it the proof put forward is totally inadequate.

It was shocking when I heard this conspiracy theory. But the more you think about it the more it makes sense. The U.S. government has the power to get away with anything. The sad thing is they utilize this fact to the fullest.

Ive worked in residential construction for 20yrs. Experienced in foundation to roof.
It simply defies physics that the tops of those buildings took the path of most resistance. The lower floors were designed to support the weight of the upper floors. they had to be blown for that to be compromised. Everyone should sit & stare at wrecking ball demolition. Buildings don't collapse easily.

I have always believed it was an inside job. The facts surrounding the case have been muddled. And I feel that an investigation needs to take place to bring closure for the families left behind as well as those murdered. The cat is out of the bag; it wasn't al qaeda (the little toilet in Arabic) it wasn't Bin Laden. So don't insult our intelligence by this cock and bull story of the planes did it. Or these so called hijackers Have mercy on your own souls if you have one; and come out with the truth or at the very least let it be investigated by an untainted source.

Growing up in the 1950s and 60s, I tended to accept just about everything I was told by my teachers, the government, the TV and movie industry, and society in general without really questioning it. Until my freshman year at high school, that is. It was then that the idea of what if crossed my mind. When I finished my schooling, I decided to travel the world and see with my own eyes whether all I had been taught about the rest of the world was as I had been taught. It wasn't. And that made me start questioning everything else I had been taught. In my early twenties, I began living in Tokyo, Japan, where I stayed for the next 30 years before coming back to the United States. Having lived approximately half and half of my life up to this point in two different countries/cultures, I tended to view things from perspectives that are not shared by many. If anything, I have learned to never accept anything at face value, but always to look behind the curtain.
Having no knowledge of architecture, I can only comment from a novice's viewpoint. Three concrete and steel buildings came down on the same day due to fires even though no concrete and steel building had ever been brought down by fire before in the history of architecture. Two of those buildings had also been struck by extremely large aircraft, also a world's first, but the third building collapse is totally inexplicable. When one considers the scale of the fire in WTC 7, it is unfathomable that it could have fallen into its own footprint (at near free-fall speed no less) because of fire. But whether there were oddities about the collapse of the three towers on that day really has little to do with my strong convictions that there is more to 9/11 than what meets the eye. In fact, the suspicious nature of the fall of the buildings is more like the period at the end of the sentence that has already been spoken.

I am appalled that the Federal and local governments are willing to turn a blind eye to the truth and I pray that what is currently happening to our country today, is not some kind of reproof for the crimes committed by our Government on 9/11. Don't get me wrong, the crimes by which I am speaking are the ones of them not implementing a full investigation on the obvious evidence being ignored.
