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.

Formal education in Manufacturing Engineering. HazMat Technician for 30 years, firefighter/EMT for 12 years, Safety Engineer for 32 years, Certified Safety Professional (CSP) since 1992. Trained in FEMA ATC-20 post earthquake inspection of buildings. FEMA Disaster Safety Officer for 4 years...a command staff position to the Federal Coordinating Officer.
As a former firefighter, in my research there has never been a reinforced steel building that has collapsed due to fire. The collapse of WTC Buildings with a free fall speed of gravity defies the physics of building collapse due to weakening of structural elements. WTC 7 collapse cannot be related to WTC 1 and 2 collapses... there is absolutely no way any physics can support that. WTC 7 followed the book on structural demolition.

Jesse was educated in the broad discipline of Architectural Engineering, focusing specifically on Structural Design and Analysis. He was trained and has a wide variety of experience in the design of steel and concrete structures, as well as wood, masonry, and aluminum. Jesse is professionally employed using these skills in Southwest Florida.
Through my research, I have found a few specific areas of the NIST reports which in my estimation, do not seem to hold up to professional scrutiny. First and foremost being the anomalous acceleration of the collapse of WTC 7. I have not found evidence of this being adequately explored and investigated, as would be required for any other engineering analysis of such a collapse. Also, I have questions about the methodology used to determine the extent of fire insulation damage that was incident upon the towers due to the force of impact and subsequent fuel explosions. The NIST report seems to say that the assumed damage was not based on tests of similar insulation undergoing similar conditions, but rather is based on several varying degrees of possible damage being assumed in the computer analysis; mild, medium, and severe. After running the simulations and finding that the severe model is the only one that led to global collapse, they therefore concluded that the fire insulation damage was severe. It seems to me a classic case of letting your conclusion guide your evidence. Admittedly, I have not yet read all of NIST's supporting documentation (which might better explain this area of concern), however if such backup data exists to support their assumptions, it should have been included (or at least referenced) in the final report. The way I see it is that at best, it's some very shoddy technical writing; at worst, it's dishonest.

I watched the destruction of the WTC from a hotel room in Vietnam. When the first building collapsed I at first did not realise what I had just witnessed. My wife said the tower collapsed and I replied by saying that was not possible. I was completely stunned. It was not until some time later that I began to seriously question the official narrative. Although suspicious, it was not until later that I started to review the collapse of the towers via the internet, and I can recall the first time I saw a video of the building 7 collapse. I understood immediately that it had to be controlled demolition. From some angles it just looked like a complete and structurally intact building had just fallen straight down against the backdrop of a largely clear sky. I particularly remember the reaction of the dutch demolition expert Danny Jowenko, he was completely incredulous.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Texas Tech University in December 2007. I have internship experience at Freese & Nichols, Inc. in Dallas, Texas, and Parkhill, Smith & Cooper, Inc. in Lubbock, Texas. Since graduating, I have worked as a municipal roadway drainage engineer for Kimley-Horn & Associates in Irving, Texas, and as a municipal solid waste engineer for Weaver Boos Consultants, LLC - Southwest in Fort Worth, Texas.
WTC Building 7 fell uniformly as if each level of the building had collapsed in succession, strongly suggesting that explosives were planted in the building. If explosives were planted in WTC 7, then the twin towers could have also been rigged with explosives. The failure of the twin towers appeared to be the result of a more complex explosive sequencing. The official pancake theory of collapse does not legitimately explain why the portion of each tower located above the point of impact of the airliner was not slowed by the mass of the building below.

I was in college when 911 occurred. At the time I was taking design classes in steel, wood and concrete. I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar from the original structural engineer of record shortly after the tragic events of 911. At the seminar, I learned of the design and construction of the twin towers. I would like to see the truth come out about what really happened on this horrendous day in our history, for the victims, survivors and American people.

As a leader in the fire rated glass and metal systems supply I have witnessed and performed many tests to ASTM E119. For 20+ years we have developed, manufactured and supplied fenestration and framing systems with up to 2 hour ratings. Having a pilot scale oven and running the time/temp curve in development of new products I know how steel performs. I was one mouse click away from being on Flight 93 so it only seemed right to fight what I knew could not be.
The actions of that day called me to duty and until the guilty are brought to justice I can not stand down. My sincere hope is that there are enough honorable men and women, like yourselves, to win this conflict. UL is scum for keeping their mouths shut and I hope they are held to account as well. When I saw the towers fall it was very clear fire was not the cause. It is great to not be so alone in this view anymore. Having been called everything from a nut to traitor for my views, I thank you. As a former member of the USN I swore an oath to, ...defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

I want to know the truth on how those towers collapsed, and I want to have those responsible to appear in a courtroom, and admit what they did, to take full responsibility for killing thousands of innocent people, and why they did it, for what gain could they accomplish. I want to know if it really was terrorists who attacked us, and if not then who was it? I want to know how, why, and who caused this to happen.

I am very concerned about the physical evidence presented in this A/E for 9/11 Truth Video. I am also concerned that eyewitness statements have been edited, removed or retracted. I don't think that the professionals listed here on this website, that are presenting this evidence, would do so recklessly, putting their careers and reputations on the line, if they didn't feel strongly that the story that has been relayed to the world, is in fact full of inconsistencies.

WTC 7 was clearly controlled demolition. As for the two towers, I have looked at the floor plans available on-line, the construction photos and articles about their construction from old engineering magazines, and the videos of their collapse. The official explanation falls woefully short in fully explaining how gravity alone, after the impact and fires had done their work, could cause the top 1/6 of the North Tower, by far the lightest 1/6, to collapse and crush the remaining 5/6 of the tower into a pile of rubble only a few dozen feet high in less than 15 seconds.

Ever since watching the building collapses on CNN live, I have always had a feeling that the official reasons given were untrue. I also remember the Pentagon was apparently hit by a commercial aircraft but the evidence found at the scene could not support the official story. The visual evidence seen on TV contradicts the conclusions given by all official sources. The truth will set us free...

It is from my point of view obvious that the buildings didn't went down this way by them selves in the law of physics. Very interesting that this subject has grown this big and constantly gaining attention. I hope they will put out a documentary about this in Sweden, we have (I hope) a free speech television here.
