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 earned (Gateway Technical College, Racine, WI) three associate of applied science degrees in engineering: Architectural/Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering/highway Technology and Design, and Land Surveying, where I was awarded top of my class status in all three programs. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, 2017). I currently work at an engineering firm on Madison, Wisconsin designing plumbing, HVAC, fire, and electrical systems for multi-family, multi-floor residential buildings. I am NCARB registered and a member of AIA (#39196676). I also will be renewing my membership with the ICC.
I believe the people have the right to know the truth. As a building designer, I want to know for certain that that building will not fail and cost people their lives. Being lied to about how buildings fail causes all kinds of problems. We want the truth. The architect who designed the WTC deserves to be justified by assuring us that the WTC was a sound and safe building. The only thing that could destroy that building would have been bombs, because they destroy everything, don't they? We should also ask who benefitted from this financially, politically, and the like. We need to prosecute those who are responsible so they don't do this again.

WTC Building 7 came down on 9/11/2011 under extremely suspect circumstances. It is clear from video and trace thermite beads found on scene that this building was brought down using controlled demolition. The follow up investigation on this, the largest crime scene on American soil, in American history, was a sham. A new investigation as to the cause of its fall should be initiated by a group independent, but sanctioned, by We, The People, and our 'government'.

As an engineer, scientist and pilot I always could successfully rely on the power of laws of nature, mastering the corresponding theory while merging it with practical experience. 9/11 including its aftermath is not only a capital crime on humanity, but also an affront to the enlightened, humanistic, rational and scientific perception of the world. I've been concerned with 9/11 for several years now, and with all my background, I have no doubts that the official explanation of 9/11 is utterly wrong, deceptive and serves evil. My points are: - No rookie pilots maneuvered the planes manually into the twin towers. The sure handling of the involved flight dynamics and accelerations required considerable skill and experience with the particular plane types and/or an adequately set up auto-pilot or remote control system. A few flight lessons on small single engine piston planes or a simulator lesson cannot possibly give the skill needed for such an operation with a large jet. It is highly likely that a newbie in aviation would not even have found the way to New York, not to mention the inability to properly configure the plane for a stable descent and a first time precise hit of the target in a high g curve. - There is no physical connection between the planes impacts and the collapse of the twin towers. The buildings were properly dimensioned to withstand even bigger plane impacts and most of the fuel was ejected and burned outside. The comparably short fires had neither the required temperature to considerably weaken the steel construction locally, nor had they the duration to compete with the steels thermal conduction quickly dissipating the energy away from the fires core. - Nowhere it becomes more clear that the collapse of the buildings is an event physically decoupled from the plane impacts than in the case of the inexplicable collapse of building 7. Just from a probabilistic standpoint it is next to impossible to have an unintentional, totally symmetric collapse. Just in the case of the twin towers, a hypothetical fatal structural weakness would have led to an asymmetric, partial collapse. The observed collapse pattern including acceleration, symmetry and dust production is only reasonably explicable if assuming an intended, well-planned controlled demolition using coordinated explosives. - No Boeing 757 went down at Shanksville. Anybody studying seriously aircraft accidents for technical or security reasons will not be able to recognize in the available pictures and information the serious report of a genuine aircraft crash of claimed kind and proportions. The lack of debris, dead bodies and the unrealistic size of the site are each for itself proof enough that the story is made up. - No Boeing 757 crashed into the Pentagon. Again the dimension and appearance of the damage do not comply with the claimed aircraft type. All incidents showing serious inconsistency with physical and engineering reality make it imperative to consider a coordinated attempt at misleading public perception and installing the picture of a genuine terrorist attack. Looking at the aftermath, in particular the political implications of 9/11, this goal was unfortunately reached. Nevertheless, the facts of high treason, mass murder and genocide are on the table and must be consequently prosecuted for the sake of a future prosperous world.

My first love was Architecture, and had hours of training and certificates for Mechanical Drawing and CAD from the 1980s, as well as training and certificates for Audio Engineering and Studio Maintenance, and worked since High School in Pro Sound and Audio Visual industries. Upon completion of my Associate degree in Electronics, I went to work for over a decade in Wireless Communications and Networks Manufacturing.
My first undergraduate program of study was Architecture in the mid-1980s with the University of West Virginia, but switched to Drafting with Carver Career Center in Charleston. Ironically, my first two areas of intense personal study were outrigger skyscrapers (WTC Towers) and underground construction (Bunkers). As I recall, the history of the term pancake goes back to the 1940s or 1950s in relation to SEISMIC studies of the performance of concrete and reinforced concrete buildings and was a descriptive term of the visible RESULT of collapses, NOT a MODE OF FAILURE. I knew then that the first explanation was pure propaganda, not scientific inquiry, and likely originated from some uninformed military source, not an educated civilian expert; especially since the means of destruction were different between the Towers and Building 7. The two WTC Towers were controlled explosions and WTC 7 was a classic implosion. In short, the evidence at hand convinced me that WTC 7 was a defacto standard controlled demolition, but that the towers were experimental silo demolitions; the most damning evidence being that the second tower struck was the first to fall in less than an hour. These [outrigger] skyscrapers are built to share the load between their cores and external frames, and any mode of total failure or progressive collapse begins with destroying both the core and frame on more than one side of either tower, and had the catalyst been any combination of plane crashes and office fires exclusively it would have taken several days to sufficiently weaken the towers (we know it wasn't plane crashes alone since the towers absorbed the crash inertias and redistributed their structural loads). Instead it was mere minutes. Some type of explosives and accelerants must have been used to account for the additional energies needed to trigger and to MAINTAIN the silo type collapses of the WTC towers. Lastly, it's funny how investigators who are Architects or Engineers are derided as not being Demolition Experts, but Demolition Experts with civilian or military experience are dismissed as not being Engineering or Architectural Ph.D.s (among internet message board discussions and other venues). The red-herring being that it assumed that the real perpetrators would have had to have had extensive knowledge of both fields to pull off these demolitions; the reality being that the 19 alleged hijackers had neither. Two planes, three different collapses. A child can do that math.

The odds that three steel-frame buildings would collapse at free-fall speed into their own footprints on the same day, after brief, non-engulfing fires burning at temperatures well below those required to significantly weaken steel girders, are astronomically high. The fact that pools of molten metal remained under the WTC complex for weeks afterward (as confirmed by multiple videos, eyewitnesses, Mayor Guiliani, and aerial infrared thermography analyzed by a science team from Bard College), coupled with forensic evidence of molten and sulfidated metal gathered from the scene, strongly supports the theory that high-temperature demolition explosives and cutting agents were used to bring down the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7.

I have always wondered why the towers didn't topple over at the weakened points where the planes hit them, if they were going to fall at all. If the planes and fires had actually caused the collapse, the buildings would have toppled over, not fallen symmetrically straight down at free fall acceleration.

Currently retired after 40+ years in mechanical design, test/evaluation and management. I have had some experience in explosive identification and tagging at a national laboratory as well as weapons designs.
Real time observations on September 11, 2001 of the collapse of each of the twin towers, as provided by the national TV networks, led me to the same conclusion: controlled demolitions. Subsequent analysis, as found on the internet and in various publications released by non-government entities, have clearly demonstrated the validity of that conclusion for each of the three towers. The problem at hand is to achieve a government sponsored study that is truthful and fact based; education of the US population and electing a legislature that is reponsive to the US population is important though problematic.

I find it shocking that the news of Building 7's collapse has received no media coverage. I find it more than just interesting that it collapsed in the same suspicious manner as did Buildings 1 and 2. Anyone who has witnessed a controlled demolition of a building would recognize what these buildings looked like when they came down. The fact that it happened to three buildings on the same day, one seemingly without provocation, seems to me to be a valid reason for an open independent investigation of the truth behind these collapses.

I'm just your average joe who thinks there are way too many unanswered questions about the events of 9/11.
Why did the tower that got hit second fall first? Why is there only one camera view of the pentagon plane? Doesn't that place have multiple security cameras? Why does the guy use his first and last name when he is talking to his own mother? How do these instant experts just appear on the news to tell everybody whats going on? Weren't the towers engineered to withstand plane impacts? Wasn't the explosion on impact all the fuel being burnt up? Why were some of the hijackers still alive? Why did the owner of the buildings take out an insurance policy right before they went down? It all comes down to the $.

This is why I feel it is necessary to conduct an objective analysis of the events that transpired on 9/11. It is truly the American thing to do.
I am not going to pretend that I possess a formidable knowledge of high-rise construction, but the coalition of engineers and architects who support this movement have convinced me of foul play. The fact that I have only recently (3 months ago) heard about the collapse world trade center tower 7 suggests efforts have been made to suppress the facts from mainstream media. The trust of the American people is withering and measures must be taken in order to reassure my generation can trust in its government.

I worked for the TSA and we invaded people's privacy daily, but there was one thing about my job that made me suspicious about our techniques, we could merely swipe the outside of bag and test it for bomb residue and the machine would alarm if there were a bomb inside the bag. My question is: If we could just swipe the outside of the bag why would we have to risk our lives opening a bag that may explode? What it did was give the government a way to search people's personal belongings without having to go to court to get a warrant. Which means that every time the FBI or someone in political office wants the FBI to use the TSA to go through someones bags they could, without a warrant.
I found out that every-day kerosene heaters that we have in our homes burn at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and do not melt. Steel melts at 2500F. Also, when I saw WTC 7 collapse on 911 I knew something was extremely wrong, when I saw the building fall at free-fall speed I thought at the time that it was unbelievable.

Building 7 is of course the clincher to prove that this event did not happen the way they said it did. It was the PNAC's 'New Pearl Harbor' event to further their geopolitical ends. The perpetrators need to be brought to justice and if we are to have peace in the world the truth must come out for the whole world to see.

My key points: # Molten Steel was found on the ground floor, indicating controlled demolition. # A commercial building has never collapsed at almost free fall speed in on it's own footprint, such as the two towers and WTC7 did, before 9/11. # A commercial building has never collapsed at free fall speed from a fire, as WTC7 did. # Official reports say a passport was used as evidence when one could not have passed through over 1000 degrees F and land, in-tact, on ground floor.

Though not a professional, it's easy to see with my own eyes that all the WTC buildings came down as a result of planned demolition. My concern here isn't just for the secrecy of it all, but for the lives of all those that died that day as a result of a hidden agenda.

Have been working in real estate for 5 years, and work in close daily collaboration with architects and construction professionals which has given me a knowledge about building structures and materials. Moreover, I am very interested in physics and chemistry.
Just by looking at the videos of the WTC collapses a bit more attentively, even the basic knowledge we received in school about physics is enough to understand the probability of 3 steel-structure skyscrapers falling down the same way-while two were hit by planes in different points and one wasn't even hit- is too too tiny (just not to say impossible). About the theory of fire being the cause: I have searched for them over the internet, but I have not yet found a video of a building collapsing because of fire. The temperature of melting steel is a fact, no one can deny this.

I am a freshman at college in California. Originally from New York City
I was nine and living in New York City at the time of the attacks. Although I do not know anyone personally who died or was injured in the attacks, it still made a huge, unforgettable impact on my life. I remember that day vividly; an hour after arriving at school, there was a ringing silence amongst my teachers. The grown ups spoke in whispers, but they did not tell us what was bothering them, so we waited in wonder. One by one, my classmates were picked up early by there sweating, red faced parents. It was not until noon that my best friend's mom rushed into the cafeteria, interrupted our lunch, and told us what was the matter. Planes crashed into big buildings. There was fire. Buildings fell. And lots of people died. That's what I heard. I didn't think twice about it, I just knew it was bad because everyone else thought it was. It was not until the next day that I realized how all the grown ups felt. We had the day off from school. A Day of Reflection, they called it. But everyone knew it was because the whole country was afraid to open their doors. I remember being annoyed that morning, because every single channel was new coverage of the attacks. I couldn't watch Spongebob, and I was sick of hearing about the Twin Towers. Seeing I was bored, my dad took me out for a walk. It was then that I understood what had happened. Outside a dead, eerie silence loomed all over the city. It was almost as if the world had frozen over. People stood still on street corners. Afraid to talk, afraid to move. My dad held my hand tightly as we walked past a newsstand. Right at my eye level I saw the front page of the New York Times. I remember it vividly. A woman in a red dress, covered in blood, crying out in agony. It was at that moment that I, along with the rest of the nation, felt completely alone and helpless. I was terrified, to say the least. For months afterward, I had a nightmare each night that a plane flew into my window as I slept. The only comforting part of my dream was, that at least I'd die in my sleep. Perhaps without ever knowing that I was dead. That was a blessing none of the victims of 9/11 had.

I have no idea who was responsible for the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11, but I think there is little doubt that they did not fall as a result of the plane crashes. Naturally, finding those responsible is critical to our nation, and the first step MUST be an honest, and independent investigation into the circumstances that brought these buildings down, and took so many innocent lives. This information will likely give us insight into who would have had the motive and opportunity to commit these horrific acts.

The evidence is overwhelming that the official explanations given to the public in regards to the building collapses on September 11 are extremely lacking and misleading. These buildings fell in a manner that would be expected with a controlled demolition, not that of an airliner impact. In addition, Building 7 did not experience an airliner impact, but fell at free-fall speed. These facts alone should be reason enough to reopen a new and independent investigation.

I am not a professional architect or engineer. I am just an American citizen who is supporting this group as well as firefighters for 9/11 because I believe very strongly in their cause. I am a single working mother. I do not believe the official story and want to do what I can to further the truth being found and told. I believe the victims of this horrendous crime deserve the truth.
I am an American citizen who does not believe the official story that was told to the public by government officials or the main stream media. I have done my own research into what could have caused or not caused those three skyscrapers to fall at nearly free fall speed, symmetrically down, which anyone can see resembles a controlled demolition. Especially, WTC7 which was not hit by a plane, nor did it even have as much damage as other buildings and yet it came straight down like the perfect demolition. If there was the decision to pull it, the question must be asked, how in all of that chaos did they find the time to place explosives so quickly and so professionally in a matter of a few hours? Don't controlled demolitions take at least days to plan? Of course they do; therefore, there had to be prior knowledge of this attack. The official story makes no sense. Those three buildings and how they fell are only SOME of the questions. There are questions about the Pentagon and the untouched grass and the hole being too small for a plane. There is the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, and how could a plane have disintegrated on impact, the first time in aviation history, and yet they found the passport of one hijacker and a driver's license among the inexplicable small fragments of debris. It makes no sense. The American public demands a full investigation by nongovernmental investigators immediately. I want to know what happened that day because our country has changed so radically, it is not recognizable to me anymore. The events of 9/11 were the catalyst for such detrimental change in this country that we need to know if this is justified. We need to know what really happened and who is really responsible. It must be done for the victims of 9/11 and their families, and it must be done for the first responder victims and their families and for all the ground zero workers who have since died of illness caused by working at ground zero and for those who are sick even now. THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD.

I am a former music teacher, retired singer and part-time medical transcriptionist. I have studied 7 foreign languages. I am overcoming legal blindness and musculoskeletal difficulties but remain intensely interested in the well being of others. My father and stepfather were both chemists, the former having worked at Linde and the latter having become an aeronautical engineer. I am the widow of Oz Bach (1939-1998, co-founder and bass player for the 60's band Spanky and Our Gang), and the bereft mother of Belinda Bach (1979-2007), as well as the proud mother of Jonathan Bach who counsels inner city gang members in LA. I currently sing in my church choir and participate in community activities as well as maintain a private charitable foundation and several web sites.
I was stunned when I watched the annotated video of the collapse of Building 7. On 9/11 itself, when someone told me the tower was in danger of collapsing, I thought she was referring to a TV tower on top of the building, not the building itself! I was flabbergasted when I got home and saw on TV the images of those massive buildings collapsing, as well as horrified at the senseless and tragic loss of life! My family visited NYC in 1993 and I remember standing on the top floor looking out over the city. How could such a huge structure actually collapse? I have seen many videos of controlled demolitions and that is what it looked like to me, a mere layman. When I later discovered that engineers were analyzing the videos and theorizing that the buildings could NOT have collapsed according to the initial reports, I found myself wondering how and by whom could explosives have been planted? Infiltrating the service providers for the buildings is a feasible explanation but again, just who could have been behind this, if it is indeed what happened. A thorough investigation is warranted to get at the bottom of this to put to rest all the speculation by those who accept the status quo and those who have wild, illogical conspiracy theories. This should be aided by those who have expert technical training in the specific areas that would deal with the physics involved.

There is too much riding on the events of that day. We must know the truth about who really was involved.

I am a 39-year-old unemployed former business owner. I have 4 years of formal vocational education and 20 years of hands-on experience in the building trades. I also on occasion serve as a systems analyst in the tech field with my strong point being hardware and design of same. I am a big fan of fact based media such as documentaries, and with all the down time I find myself with now, fact checking and research time is plentiful and taken advantage of. So most of the time you can find me searching the web feverishly for info on anything and everything that enters my realm of inquisitiveness.
No longer preoccupied with daily distractions of a nonstop work schedule or full of blind rage and fears over issues that don't actually concern or effect me I have had an awakening of sorts. Turned off Fox and CNN, they didn't even give me a hint that economic collapse was on the horizon but I sure knew what Paris was up to or if Britney had flashed her privates again. Useless and misleading at best. I don't understand why for nearly 7 years I was so blind to all these obvious and disturbing facts about 9/11 alone and I will only point two out and close with that. 1. Even if you ignore physics and construction facts and dismiss the towers for now building 7 was so obviously a controlled demolition it cannot reasonably be discussed as anything but. 2. Pentagon City is one of the most highly monitored areas on earth and a lousy stop frame security camera recording is all that was offered up to us as evidence of the attack and not a single AAA round was fired in defense, no missile launched, nothing! It's sad to think we as a nation have so miserably failed to date in our most important role as Americans and that role is made clear in the message the founding fathers spoke to above all others Keep our government from becoming more powerful than we the people's ability to wipe from power those who would tread upon our Constitution and basic human rights.

While I do not have a degree in architecture or engineering, I am an educated citizen and I know what a thorough investigation looks like. A&E for 9/11 Truth has me convinced that further inquiries are necessary before we can put this to rest.
As a young American, I realize that my generation will soon be responsible for the future of our country. I hate to sound negative, but the past few years have made me doubt much of what I have seen broadcasted through the media. Too many people sit back and either accept what they are told on television or choose to tune out anything different, passing such ideas off as simply unrealistic conspiracy theories. The 9/11 Truth video does a fabulous job at laying out the cold hard facts to support undeniable evidence that the attacks on all three of the World Trade Centers must be investigated further. I hope that through the efforts of this organization, Americans will be shaken out of their blissful ignorance. Its time for people to turn their apathy into action, so that something as tragic as this does not happen again.

Young citizen concerned with the true events that led to the collapse of the WTC buildings.
The official explanation for the buildings' collapse simply makes no sense. I have seen many controlled demolitions of tall buildings on television, including the new, and the collapse of the WTC looks like a perfect execution of one. Heat alone cannot bring such monumental structures down in such a short period of time, with such precision. My immediate reaction as I watched the towers collapsing on TV was, why are these buildings collapsing?.

I am an American born in the united states of America. i want good for all. promote the common good for all here. I believe in punishment for crimes committed. i have lived in California all my 42 years. i have the greatest grandparents that once worked for Al Capone in the darkest days of America The Great Depression. I have strong morals and values.that demand the truth of that unbelievable day on u.s. American soil.
I feel that Larry Silverstein should be held accountable as well as George w. bush for crimes against the American people. #1. Murder (pre-meditated). It is a shame that the insurance company that held policy for WTC buildings had to pay Silverstien an enormous amount of money for blowing up his own buildings this is NOT a fictitious statement any American can view this courtroom proceeding on You tube. . it is not a coincidence that the policy was amended.

I did not even think twice about the official story until a few years ago when I saw the Pentagon photos for the first time. My logical nature made me question what I was seeing and the descriptions of those events. With more research I learned about Building 7. I felt in my soul that something didn't make sense, and have spent the last few years compiling any and all info I can get my hands on to help me find some sort of rational explanation for what I believe I was seeing.
The official explanations I have read over and over again eventually revealed another small flaw in their logic. One event is made out to be so incredibly destructive, (WTC Towers) while the other crash (Pentagon) pales in comparison. In my understanding if you lead one to believe that the force, speed, and the igniting of 1000's of gallons of jet fuel can bring down 2 of the most prominent building in the world, why didnt the Pentagon suffer more damage than it did?

I don't believe it to be possible for those steel structures to have collapsed perfectly within their own footprint at nearly free-fall speed, or for the concrete of the building to become pulverized to dust as a result of a collision from a jet. A pancake collapse would have left floors stacked about ten stories high. How could Building 7 collapse from a fire? Many unanswered questions.

I do not have any technical knowledge or expertise, but I understand that for all three buildings to come down with little or no frictional resistance does not make sense. And that this, whether we like it or not, is only possible through controlled demolition.
