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.

1 to 38 story buildings in DC, MD, VA, FL. Involved in construction since 1968. Majority of buidings were Office & Hotel type. Worked with Controlled Demolition on 2 projects. We supplied the drawings for them to use for their demo layout.
I have witnessed & have seen many videos of building demolitions. I have investigated buildings toppled by wind. I have investigated a fire in the core of a high-rise hotel building and one in an open air garage. It is obvious to me that the 911 towers were demolished with explosives. The fire in the twin towers was like that of cars burning in an open garage building-the fire can not become hot enough to cause enough structural members to deform to the point of failure. Building number 7 collapsed just like any other controlled demolition I have witnessed. The buildings did not topple.

The major infrastructure consisted of many steel columns on the order of 3' x 4' at the base, with some wall thicknesses in excess of 6---- These dimensions in structual steel do not allow for clean breaking ---- Bending- -- OK.---- To say nothing about the structure it supports dropping @32 feet/ per sec / per sec. Another thing --- Each floor of the towers was 1 acre of concrete --- probably 4 to 5 inches thick with at least 6x6x10 steel mesh reinforcement. Yet, all were reduced to a pyroclastic flow that blanketed the island from river to river in ankle deep dust approaching air-float density. Little or no concrete, just dust! Let's not forget the girder that fell into a building a block away! There are many more things that tried to make a liar of Mother Nature on that day, but this will do for now.

I have had 5 years of experience with my BS in Architecture Engineering from University of Hartford. I have had intensive training and classes on structural steel buildings, with studies on loads, spans, limits, and physical forces on buildings like WTC buildings 1 and 2.
From the second year after the events on 9/11/2001, I have agreed completely with the 9/11 truth campaign. With my extensive background in engineering, I feel strongly that the proof is in plain sight with all the footage, reports, and calculations. It enrages me that most people are not questioning anything at all, or even looking at the footage and realizing that everything we are led to believe was a lie.

I graduated mechanical engineer cum laude (3.4 / 4.0 GPA) from Auburn University, AL in 2007. I got a job right out of college with the US Army Corps of Engineers and became a mechanical quality assurance building inspector for 3 years with the government as a civil servant, and also a project engineer of 6 months. Seeing that the finances of that organization were totally corrupt, with 7 out of 7 buildings in North Carolina and Georgia costing 200, 300 dollars a square foot to renovate when by contract they should be no more than 150 to build, I left USACE. At the same time I was waking up to 9/11 truth, and found the materials Wikileaks was putting out about our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. I began speaking out online, and have not stopped since. I estimate I have told 8 million people through the internet about the corruption that lies at the core levels of our governments.
Of the many valid arguments about why controlled demolition brought down three buildings on 9/11/2001, I find this the most easily convincing: That 15 floors cannot crush the many dozens more floors below, I think it was 80 or 90, as is claimed about one of the towers that fell. The upper 15 floors would have disentegrated into nothing after falling on 15 floors if we are to believe that the floors were totally crushed into powder under the influence of gravity alone.

I remember very clearly watching the towers collapse, but had not thought about the way in which they collapsed until I heard the theories mentioned on Coast To Coast. When I brought it up with my husband the next day, he said he had also heard the same theories before and was as inclined as I was to believe them.

There is too much evidence against the official gov't storyline explaining the collapse of the WTC buildings. The truth of what really happened needs to be revealed. All 3 of the WTC buildings fell in the way that buildings fall when there is a planned, carefully choreographed demolition using explosives..there needs to be a truth seeking investigation, unconnected in all ways to the gov't.

I was an iron worker when I was 18. I helped to build structural steel buildings. I had two years of college in the biological sciences. The last nine years I've been tied to my computer reading everything coming my way on 911. I believe my eyes.
My understanding of the design of the towers is that you basically have two steel screens that have been built into tubes. One inside the other. If you took a pencil and pierced those screens that would not cause a collapse. The heat from the jet fuel lasted at its peak only a few minutes. Only a controlled demolition could do what we saw that day.

I am a citizen of the United States. Though not a professional engineer or architect, I am impressed with the interest and investigation that this group has embraced, and support their efforts in discovering the truth.
I am very concerned about the disturbing evidence unfolding regarding the 9/11 episode. The way the twin towers fell, and now the revelation of a third tower falling in the same manner, plus the explosive evidence found is very disturbing. Enough questions have been raised so that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated with full disclosure. Americans need to know the truth.

Since day one, I did not believe a Jet Fuel fire created enough heat to melt steel. Also, the planes passenger list never did accurately list the hijacker's names. The original story was they bought tickets using their own names several months before the flight. Their names were never listed on the official manifest. That raised a red flag. Pentagon small hole, windows not broken where wings would have impacted. On and on.

A day after the shocking 9-11 event, I felt these aircraft alone could not possible have destroyed the towers. Sure, a hole in the wall, fire and a few damaged floors....Not so convinced that all the fuel got into the building either...Shorty after, many experts stated their doubts regarding the collapse of the steel structure do to the extreme heat only to reverse their opinion a couple of days later. Having seen some amazing (precision) controlled building demo's on TV, I had no doubt, this was one of them! Single engine pilots be able to fly these jets??? May be the jets were rigged to fly them remotely... Zeitgeist CD reinforced my reasoning. Interestingly, most people really believe the official version and many asked me for proof to the contrary...

I am an artist and designer with a mind that is always digging for the hidden meanings.
The fact that the buildings on 911 fell at free fall speed after a low temperature fire, and that building 7 collapsed in a classic demolition configuration, can only mean that the official story is just that, a story with little truth within. It's time for the truth, the whole truth.

I have followed this drama by reviewing internet evidential documentaries such as Richard Gage's address to Architects and Engineers, etc. No technical education or experience - just logical conclusions.
I do not believe the 'official' version of this event. Dr. Stephen Jones, Richard Gage and many others over these years have amply exhibited their professional conclusions based on available data and their own experiments, plus comparisons with other fires in high rises. There is no question in my mind there were explosives in these buildings and I would like to see justice done.

Have supervised projects (including two Nuclear Power Plants) valued at up to 12 Billion Dollars. Have managed major projects around the world for Bechtel Corpl, Brown and Root, CE Lummus. Have been in the Engineering/Construction business for 55 years.
In Las Vegas, especially, but in many other cities as well, millions upon millions of dollars have been spent for the 'Implosian' of buildings. This is a highly technical undertaking requiring knowledge of exact moment points in order to achieve the desired result. Tower number 7 of the WTC did not receive a single piece of debris from the fall of either tower and Tower No. 6 was 'between' Tower No.1 and Tower No. 2. The 47 story building 'Imploded' almost eight hours later. It was claimed that it burned all of this time 'unchecked' until it collapsed. This is beyond belief. It is difficult enough to believe that Tower No's 4, 5, & 6 burned so 'out of control', they would collapse. Two planes hit two towers, both of which should have withstood the impact. All seven towers collapsed. Either the Chief of Maintenance or the Chief Custodian was on duty in the basement of Tower No. 2. He claimed to have heard 'numerous' smaller explosions prior to feeling the building being struck by the plane. This is similar to the effects one would notice if a building had been wired for pre-determined ignition of charges. Many highly qualified and experienced engineers worked at 'justifying' how the buildings collapsed. I honestly believe they were 'forcing' some issuses in an attempt to make the 'means' satisfy the 'end result.' I beg their forgeiveness if I am wrong but all of their explaination is not completely acceptable to many other engineers.
