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.

In October 2001, I approached the United States Consulate General's Office in Z'rich, Switzerland. I had testimonial and physical evidence placing Mr. Atta and five other persons in Zurich in July of 2000. Without being able to say more than a couple of sentences, I was told There is no evidence that anyone involved in the events of September the Eleventh has ever stepped foot in Switzerland. There will be no further investigation. I have doubted the official story since this time. The work of AE911truth.org and others is uncovering considerable evidence and casting considerable doubts on the official stories. I would like to see another investigation on the collapses of all three WTC buildings that fell on September 11, 2001.

I'm a trained scientist, in the natural sciences, with a heavy minor study in civil engineering. For half of my career I worked for a government regulatory agency, and the other half in the corporate and other private sector, and see this from BOTH perspectives.
Long before the Commission report, I had to wonder how both towers could collapse in the same mode, with one side still supporting the vertical load, whilst the other was weakened by fuel-fed fires and physical damage. Both Towers should have listed, and fallen over like a tree, and NOT come straight down, with one entire side (or two) still maintaining structural integrity.

Occupation: Mechanical Engineer
I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with my degree in mechanical engineering (BSME)
If you take a look at the material characteristics and the melting point of the structural steel, there is a discrepancy in how the steel of the towers just gave out in the way that they did. They would not have fallen in a uniform manner because that would mean all the structural beams would've had to fatigue from the heat at the same rate. Also when looking at the aftermath you can see there are angled demolition cuts on the steal beams.

I have studied the fall of those three buildings extensively. All three were obviously brought down by demolition charges. The health effects (very high cancer and other disease rates) to the site workers and the locals clearly leads to these conclusions. It is obvious from watching the buildings fall that demolition charges were used to bring the buildings down. The official story was provided by those who have committed the fraud. The means of the investigation was clearly not according to the methods that are normally used during a crime scene investigation. As much evidence as possible was loaded onto trucks and then barges and removed from the site to be immediately smelted in India and China, thus eliminating the most damning evidence, the signature of the super high explosives, and Thermate. These very hot explosives were used to cut the massive girders within that building. All involved in this giant scam need jail and capital charges.

M Arch, University of Texas at Austin, 1983
Buena Vista, VA
Occupation: Owner/Project Director
I have a BA in psychology from Trinity University/San Antonio and a M Arch degree from the University of Texas/Austin. I worked in firms in Austin, Houston, and Dallas before working for 20 years as a corporate architect and project manager at Marriott International HQ and Sodexho (Marriott) HQ in Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD (NIST was 'next door'), and Austin, TX. I currently have my own design/build management and consulting business in Texas and Virginia. I have acted as project architect, project manager, and project director on many projects in high-rise buildings in Dallas, New York City, DC, Virginia, and elsewhere. I spent many years managing projects in mid-town Manhattan while living in the DC/Maryland suburbs. Not long before 9/11, I was at the WTC meeting with the Port Authority to evaluate their RFP to manage the operation of the Windows on the World Restaurant. On 9/11 I was driving back to Maryland from Florida where I had received a national design award for a project I had designed and built.
On 9/11, my wife (and eventually our 4 children) were in our home in Frederick, MD as both the Pentagon and the Shanksville incidents occurred. These events geographically 'book ended' our home and shocked us all. We also lost a member of my mother's family (the McBrayer Scots clan, who came to America in the 1740's) at WTC 2. His name is Ken McBrayer. He worked for Sandler O'Neill & Partners. He was on the 104th Floor that morning. We are all 6 degrees of separation at most, of course, including the other million and counting who have been lost in the senseless, criminal wars and other illegal operations our country has launched based on a dark and terrible lie. There is more than enough evidence regarding the building collapses to require a real world, independent, and 'under oath' investigation into them. There are so many troubling questions that all of us, including the casualties, are owed answers to. We must demand this as citizens. Our nation, our constitution, and the world will never return to even a semblance of normalcy until the events of 9/11 are subjected to a genuine investigation. It is not yet too late. Justice is not just needed, it is absolutely required. Like so many others, I am shamefully late in coming to this. I always questioned the 911 Commission Report but was not totally aware of all the others out there working selflessly for an investigation. Being of an age to remember JFK, the Gulf of Tonkin, MLK, RFK, Wellstone and so many others almost leaves one too cynical and shell shocked to keep paying attention. My children, the arc of justice can be slow. Metanoia is painful. However, this must be done.

I am a recent graduate of middle Tennessee state university, located in Murfreesboro.
In 2002, I submitted a research paper on the collapse of the Twin Towers. My conclusion was that the fires caused by the colliding passenger planes could not have generated the very high temperature necessary to weaken the concrete-reinforced steel columns. I cited examples from books written about CDI (Controlled Demolition, Inc.) to illustrate parallels between the Twin Towers' collapse and standard controlled demolitions.

I have been involved in the design and inspection of structures for approximately 30 years, including dams, bridges, roads, canals, pipelines, retaining walls, drainage structures, and other structures.
One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I graduated from CU in 2008, and moved to Chicago for Grad School. I am not currently working or studying in the field, but I use the basic knowledge and critical thinking skills of engineering every day.
It is time for a full, ethical, responsible, and independent review of what happened that day. There is clear scientific, video, and first hand evidence that suggests that the collapse was caused by a controlled demolition. The truth needs to be told. Publicly and transparently.

I watched the Towers fall on September 11th and I knew something wasn't right from the start. I had worked for a Architectural/Engineering firm while attending the University of Minnesota. I tried to find all the information I could, and talk to people who I thought would question what happened. In the early days of 2001-2002, it was hard going to find people who would listen. I didn't give up, and as new material surfaced I used it to show people. Needless to say I have converted a lot of folks.

Although I ended with an business degree, I took all the core engineering courses while in college. I actually had more engineering credits than business, so I know engineering. I worked in the drilling business and learned much about steel structures such as derrick and their potential causes of collapse.
The data is overwhelming that a controlled demolition occurred. The lack of resistance from the lower intact structure as the building fell, the explosions and molten steel that are not explained, the evidence of prior knowledge, all point to controlled demolition. The only question would be one of motive, but after also experiencing the lies that got the U.S.A. into the Iraq war, it seems obvious that military presence in the Middle East by whatever means necessary was imperative for the Bush Administration

The authors are stating the obvious, the unthinkable. Controlled demolition of three occupied high rise steel-frame office buildings. The pain of acknowledging this is almost too much to bear. Those who perpetrated and profited from this horrific crime should be removed from power, forever.

I am a 62 year-old citizen who is currently an insurance inspector, and I am one who loves my country dearly. However, I do not like what I see going on with the current administration. The lust for power over everyone in this country, and the world, has got to be stopped. It isn't necessarily OUR president, but people who are behind the scenes (international bankers who control the FED) who need to be corralled and taken OUT of the picture. When does anyone start talking about those who schemed to take over our money supply in 1913?????? WHEN??
am a citizen who, without any doubt in my mind, believes that the very top leaders of our government designed the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Towers for the purpose of getting the Patriot Act pushed through Congress, when the members of Congress did not even have a copy to read before voting for this insane piece of legislation. This act of terror was, I believe, intended to install absolute FEAR in the minds of the American people so they would believe that their Government HAD to pass these new laws in order to protect us from any further such attacks. I will be willing to whatever I can to help disseminate the truth of this despicable and unforgivable act on this country, and I want to see those involved in this conspiracy brought to justice. If determined to be treason, then death should be their sentence. Nothing less will be considered satisfactory if that be the case.
