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've worked in and around construction my entire life. One of my grandfathers was a civil engineer and developer, owning his own firm. He graduated from University of Louisville's civil engineering program. My other grandfather was a machinist and owned his own tool and die company doing contract work for the Louisville Naval Ordnance Station. My father is a builder and owns a sports advertising business. I graduated with a bachelors in civil engineering from Purdue University, an honor's list student who took several graduate-level courses. I landed a great job as an geoenvironmental engineering consultant out of school and worked at a management and design level on several high-profile projects, including a designated Superfund site. I've owned my own general contracting company since 1995 and have worked as an English teacher in several Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and Thailand.
I grew up in a catholic family that greatly loved JFK and were heartbroken at his assassination. Shortly after, my father was among the first to see a showing of the Zapruder film, by a man who was traveling the country and presenting it at universities. For this reason, I became a bit of a conspiracy scholar from my middle school years and this continued through my adult life, as I became increasingly aware of a world that exists beneath the surface of things. I had just come into knowledge of the Bohemian Grove and Bilderberg meetings during the summer of 2006 when I rather suddenly came to the realization that the collapses of the WTC buildings on 9/11 were the result of a controlled demolition. This took my awakening to the nature of political power in the world to a whole knew level. I've followed hundreds of rabbit holes since then and feel there is a lifetime of work to be done, if one wants to refer to it as that. It's actually more a struggle for freedom and perhaps even survival. Richard Gage and his crew have been relentlessly assembling a body of evidence for over 14 years and have shown a courage that I can only believe must have existed among our ancestors as they fought for freedom against the British.

I have been engaged in engineering, stress analysis, or managing stress analysis groups my entire 30 year career in aerospace.
In my experience with structural tests and analysis of strength capability I have never seen a structure just disintegrate or fail in an ordered sequence all of its structural members, joints, and fasteners from any type of thermal or mechanical load. This is exactly what happens, however, during building demolition events.Furthermore, the personal or professional accountability to understand the destruction of 3 towers on 9/11 requires more than just reading newspapers. It also requires the personal honesty to accept and acknowledge the discrepancy between the government statements and engineering data for steel, temperature, and history.

I learned about the design and theory of HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection Systems. I now work with M+W Group in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Designing Mechanical systems for the High Tech Industrial Industry, Primarily Semiconductor Production Facilities.
When the Events of 9-11 took place, I was 13 years of age, and did not fully feel the gravity of the situation. Upon reviewing footage of the tower collapses, they appear to be too clean of a collapse to not take further investigative actions. In any situation, there needs to be a third party, non-biased investigation. I did not think twice about how the towers collapsed until i stumbled upon AE911truth and saw the comparison videos and design professional testimony. With such a National Impact, every question should be answered, and investigated to explore every possibility.

I believe any rational person with the courage to face the facts will find it hard to believe the official story. If even if the smallest amount of the evidence suggests a controlled demolition, it must be thoroughly investigated--not ignored all together. Ten years of war has been the result of 9/11. The world should settle for nothing less than the truth.

Cassel, France
Occupation: Engineer (Retired)
Degreed as a chemical engineer in June 1965, in a French engineer school. I prepared a thesis on a physical chemistry subject until obtaining a graduate Docteur-Ingenieur in january 1970, at the university of Lille. The main results of my work were published in 'Le journal de physique' (French scientifical journal about physics) in march 1971 under my name and that of my bosses. After that educational period, I joined the steelmaking industry for my whole career. I worked much of the time for french USINOR group and finally during some years for the german THYSSENKRUPP when this company bought some parts of USINOR activities. I retired in May 2002. During my career, my job was about liquid steelmaking (special converters AOD for stainless steel) and hot rolling. I was a good specialist of reheating slabs of very special steels at a temperature as high as 2550 'F ! I've got a medal from the french steelmaking technical association (ATS - Association Technique de la Sid'rurgie fran'aise) for that job.
Concerning the 9/11 events, I am absolutely convinced that the softening of any of the inner columns of the WTC under a fire is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. These colums were similar in shape with the slabs that I had to reheat from the room temperature to that of hot rolling mill. Flames, as high as they can be, are unable to heat the metal in the whole thickness. As a matter of fact, to reheat a 10 inches thick steel slab, it takes a least 3 hours in a very special hot rolling furnace. The system is very close to the theoretical black body (radiation is the main heating process, despite the type of fuel used). This furnace demands two complete days of preheat to be operating. And, naturally, the slabs are not insulated as the colums of the WTC.

I am a structural engineer who as a young engineer working for McLaren Engineering Group out of West Nyack, NY, visited and helped with the demolition at the World Trade Center site. I later went on to earn my PE and continued to work on building design and other smaller structural engineering jobs including structures in the entertainment industry and marine engineering. My license is temporarily inactive for last few years, as I am staying home with 3 small children.
If evidence is surfacing that raises new questions about the events of 9/11, I support uncovering the true motives of the attack and any related responsible parties that had a part in planning the destruction of the World Trade Center. There are too many unanswered questions that are outstanding and are contrary to what has been presented to the public as factual.

I could not believe that planes hitting the twin towers would cause their total collapse. Even more astounding was how several small fires caused the collapse of the heavy steel frame of WTC 7. No one has ever given me a clear explanation of why a CNN reporter stated that Building 7 had collapsed, when one could see it still standing in the background, only to see it collapse 1 hour later. I saw everything that day, 9-11-01, on live TV.

Recognizing that the twin towers and WTC7 were instances of controlled demolition is not the hard part. The hard part is overcoming the emotional hurdle that our government betrayed us. I went into shock and had to grieve when I accepted this. As a country we need to face this anger and grief if we are to come to terms with ourselves and leave a legacy we can reconcile with.

I saw it on TV - the second tower hit live. I immediately commented to other science professionals in the room the planes must have carried bombs that generated super intense heat - it was no 'gravity fall' or airplane fuel fire that punched the towers straight down like they were built with 0 eccentricity!!! But today, 9/9/16 I received my first AE for Truth flyer. I had no idea other professionals had so gathered to document what the trained eye knew to be true. Your flyer gave me the link I knew had to exist but had no evidence of - thermite!!!!

It's taken a long time for me to come to terms with the real possibility that the true causes of the WTC collapses on 9/11 were obscured from the general public and perhaps much worse. I've read the summary arguments based on the physics of the collapses and found them potentially valid. I would like to read the actual studies. It will take a while to understand the modelling enough to critique it, but if people like myself don't take it upon themselves, who will? We must know the truth, because what's left of our democracy depends on it.

The case of 9/11/2001 is far too significant let go with so many, and a growing number of, unanswered questions. It is unfathomable that further investigations are not considered by congress; especially in view of the short duration, time boxed 9/11 commission investigation. Is this event not important enough for a deeper look? I think a permanent investigation is even merited.

Though I've initially learned about the inexplicable circumstances from documentary videos like 'Loose Change', AE911Truth.org (its reports and documentaries) has shown the irrefutable evidence that the WTC towers have been brought down by controled demolition.This conclusion implies a premeditated covert operation, which should therefore be thoroughly investigated, and any and all involved should be brought to justice. This is essential and of the highest urgency, because the 9/11 attrocities have been the pretext to start the perpetual wars the USA continues to wage in order to, according to my opinion, establish a global empire. Bringing to justice the perpetrators of these crimes is essential to reestablish the democratic republic the USA used to be.

I am a retired Major General, Army National Guard, and I have 38 years of work as a mechanical engineer with the department of Navy in the design of weapons, components, and transportation means. Lifting and handling was the basis for my experience in strength of materials and the analysis of failure therein. I'm degreed as a mechanical engineer, Louisiana Tech, 1962.
I have read numerous reports containing both calculations and science as well as opinions, watched numerous videos of interviews with experts, watched the collapse of all buildings more times than I can accurately state and there are many factors which simply do not fit the scenario. What I have read of the residual chemical evidence pointing to materials for which there is no logical explanation, other than that an explosives expert with unique access to materials was involved. Most importantly, perhaps, is the indisputable fact that all three buildings fell as in a controlled demolitions scenario. The fuel from the planes did not have enough energy to transfer to the massive central support beams and cause structural failure. Therefore, something else had to be in play to cause what we saw. Then in Building 7, it had no damage from a plane strike. What would have caused it to fall shortly after the owner's decision to 'pull it'? My view is that this is a false flag operation and the USA is up to it's eyeballs in it. I have not continuously followed this crime because it was clear from the beginning that it was being swept under the rug, but there were some very resourceful engineers who studied the rate of acceleration of the fall of the two towers and determined that there was insignificant deviation from free fall. Meaning that the towers did not take a detour and crash their way down one floor at a time, overcoming the strength of each floor, which equates to time, thus loosing that straight-line acceleration we would expect unless a number of floors were assisted by controlled demolition. And what about all that molten steel that was running like a small stream in the basement with traces of thermite in it?

As a Engineer I know that the right amount of energy would have been needed to cause the towers to fall at the speed and symmetry in which they fell on 9/11/01. As I learned in school and in the industry about Material Science that for the towers to fall, the steel in the towers needed to reach their yielding load before reaching their tensile capacity and then they could finally fail..I hope that a new investigation addresses these basic concepts!

I have for many years not been convinced that the cause of collapse of all three trade centers in New York, nor the wreckage sites at the Pentagon & Pennsylvania, are the result of impact by commercial aircraft. I fully believe the overwhelming evidence contradicts the official narrative offered in the 9/11 official report, and I wish to show my support in demanding a non-biased, independent investigation as to the probable causes of destruction, as the people of the USA, and the world, deserve to know.

WTC7 could not come down due to small fires and collateral damage as implied by the official report. This collapse was due to controlled demolition. This is the only way to weaken the support columns throughout the building to bring it to the ground the way it did.

As documented by this group, never in the history of steel framed skyscrapers since 1908 has a single one of them failed from fire damage, other than the supposed fire imposed collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7. A number of researchers have well documented horrific fires in steel buildings, none of which failed and all were reconditioned and still in use. It was patently obvious as I watched the original footage from Vienna, Austria that these were commercial implosions. Building Seven housed CIA and other federal agencies, all of which would have had to have known and approved of plans and capability to implode the buildings months in advance. The America public deserves to know the truth.

Obvious controlled demolition. You don't see it or allow the possibility because you can't simply believe that your government could be complicit in killing your own people for political and war purpose. Even though killing millions of lives around the world, as well as our own service people since WWII has been no problem. Many wars started with false flags and coordinated lies from the power structure.

This situation is very similar to the events that occur with Dr. Bennet Omalu and his discovery of CTE, a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma. The NFL deny his scientific evidence and called him un-American. Read his story, watch the movie 'Concussion' and you will see the depth organisations will go to cover the truth. If this can happen with football, why can it not happen with 9/11?

The official story defies the laws of physics. The visual evidence shows obvious explosions and controlled demolition.

I have researched this from many angles, listening to people on the ground, emergency staff (Police, Firemen, etc.), looking at suspicious things from the whole day 9/11/2001! NORAD was never sent out, the black boxes were never found from any airplanes, the close to free fall implosion, etc.. Even my young son when seeing the buildings implode or in demolition said 'Dad the cement+buildings turned to powder!!

No commercial airplane (or military) could possible bring down one of the twin towers. Any such aircraft would be shredded by the collision, not poke its nose out the other side. Further, there would be aircraft parts everywhere if it had been aircraft that impacted the towers. The impacting vehicle had to have been something more along the lines of a bunker buster cruise missile, which would also not bring down the building. Also, even the best pilots in the B-1 test program would have a tough time hitting the towers at that speed. Again, the precision needed could be realized using a cruise missile.

Considering the arrangement and size and strength of the concentric columns arrangement, the high velocity of free-fall of the towers did not seem to be correct.

I had 4 years of school at Oklahoma Christian University, a private ABET accredited university in Oklahoma. I graduated with a B.S.E.E. I worked for Boeing for 2 years and studied electrogmagnetic effects onboard military aircraft. My experience has taught to me understand how cell phone communication between aircraft and ground antennae would be impossible on 9/11 inside a commercial airliner.I have now worked for Siemens Postal Parcel and Airport Logistics for 1 year as a systems design engineer for conveyor systems and logistics products.
There is no other rational explanation other than a controlled demolition. Even someone without a degree could see that the pattern is completely consistent with a controlled demo and that there is no excuse for an entire skyscraper to fall at nearly free fall speed with zero resistance below it. Additionally there is no evidence presented to explain how the top sections of 1 and 2 were vaporized into dust within seconds of collapse. Clear evidence of squibs from every camera angle far below the point of impact. Complete impossibility of cell phone calls being made at such altitudes and speeds as claimed. Far exceeds the capabilities of 2001 technology much less the technology of cell phones today.

If WTC 7 was a natural collapse, it could be proven. If the result is positive, the mistake has to be found and the norms have to be adapted to prevent from similar cases!
