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 have 27 years of experience working on projects involving civil, environmental, and structural engineering, both internationally and nationally. I have expertise in general civil and structural engineering, and a B.S degree in Environmental Resources Engineering. For the past 8 years I have operated an independent structural design firm. Other projects have included structural evaluation with recommendation for repair of failure of structural components including foundations, lateral load resisting systems, load bearing members and retaining walls. I have been been involved in the design of alternative energy projects. I am professionally certified in California, Arizona and Texas.
From the beginning, I felt something was not right although I could not put my finger on it. As the years went by, I read and investigated more and more, I became convinced that the buildings were brought down by demolition. With the latest investigative evidence video 9/11: Explosive Evidence ' Experts Speak Out, I felt vindicated and felt I had to add my name to the list.

I believe the 9/11 events and the subsequent coverup were fully directed by many of the Bush 2 neo-cons and the extreme New American Century philosophy. The buildings of 9/11 were brought down using controlled demolition techniques, without question! The American public needs to hear the real truth about 9/11!

On 9/11 I was scheduled to attend a meeting at the Pentagon regarding a project I was doing for the Navy. I know we were not told the truth about what happened there or in New York. Highrise buildings do not collapse from fire, and the WTC buildings were designed to withstand being hit by airplanes. We clearly need an unbiased investigation into these events.

Currently working at an architecture design studio and working on residential and urban projects.
There should be a real investigation into what happened to the three buildings that collapsed, with all the comparisons and information we have regarding how a building falls at free-fall speed with control demolition, I have no doubt that the september 11 day happenings where a planned catastrophe and was one of the biggest crimes in history, this should be held accountable to the people that orchestrated this crimes. There is to many things left unsaid, and facts, proofs, doubts on people all around the world on what really happened that day.

I've been working for 5 years in Ireland and Spain. My degree in Architecture includes 5 years of statics, more than enough to be able to understand complex structural concepts.
There are many flaws in the official story and I think it has been demonstrated that the towers did not fall due to the impact of the planes alone, but from a planned demolition. It is a shame for the US and the whole world. I hope the case is reviewed soon and everyone involved is condemned. This looks like a Pearl Harbor II.

There are hundreds of additional facts that contradict the official story of 9/11. It is time for a truly independent investigation that addresses all the questions asked by the citizens. - - 9/11 was one of the most pivotal events in world history. Its impact will be felt for years to come. We owe it to ourselves to go beyond the sound bites and the simplified official story. This is an extremely complicated story with numerous players and motives. The 9/11 time line facts don't all make sense or fit neatly together. It's a story full of espionage, deceit, and lies. But if there are forces out there tricking us, they can only succeed if we, the general public, remain ignorant and passive.

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.

I have seen a lot of footage and a hear a lot of reports. There is something sketchy with the collapsing of the buildings. When the architect of the building says, Yeah this building could take the impact of a 747 and not collapse and then 9/11/01 we see the building crumble to wreckage. Anybody in their right mind should see this as a problem.
