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 am trained as an Electrical Engineer. I've worked for NASA and other companies designing control systems for mechanical motion control systems. This background in math and physics of motion have allowed me to do some technical inquiries into the dynamics of collapse of the WTC. I have also spent several years working in hte field of avionics and air traffic control. These experiences give me some insight into issues brought up by Pilots for 911 Truth. I am currently working in the area of computer security working on a team designing internet firewalls and endpoint protection of networks.
We must perform publicly and with peer review an extensive analysis of the WTC collapse. The official explanation stops at the onset of collapse. To even explain the start of the collapse without explosives requires some far fetched ideas. There are lots of energy analyses to do that I have not seen done. How can multi-ton steel beams be ejected with enough force to embed themselves in buildings far away? What explains the symetry of the collapse? Uncontrolled phenomenon are seldom symetrical.

I live and work in Alaska. I graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a bachelors in electrical engineering. My focuses are robotics and signal processing which I will pursue in graduate school next year.
Overwhelming physical/chemical evidence, eye witness testimonial, and common sense suggest that America deserves a new independent investigation. To start with, this new investigation should discard all theories of building collapse which violate conservation of energy (including the current 'official' theory).

Chemical engineer that knows enough about heat transfer and gravity to form his own opinion AND convince anybody of it that's willing to listen.
I know some first responders personally, the things they've described seeing with their own eyes aren't possible with jet fuel being the only heat source. You would have as much success melting steel with ice cubes as you would with jet fuel. Then it becomes a question of who do you trust, the first responders who gave and continue to give their lives, or the CIA etc.

Was suspicious of the collapse and lack of science commentary in media early on. I asked other engineers and people were just not interested. Very happy to be part of this movement now. Feel like I have an outlet and not just a bitter twisted person. people said I was being negative to talk about this topic. Thanks for offering a way to ask for truth.

I'm a civil engineer with over 17 years of experience in transportation. My study of the WTC-7 collapse is not from a structural engineering perspective, only straight physics. I look forward to a structural engineer providing a more reasonable explanation for the rate of collapse.
I can't get past the consistency of the WTC-7 collapse and any number of controlled demolition operations. I've looked at overall time of collapse vs. free fall and from a conservation of momentum point of view. The correlation is striking and hard to explain without a simultaneous failure of all support within the WTC-7.

The flashes in advance of the collapse and the symmetrical nature of the collapse of all three buildings is very unusual. In addition, the testimony of people at the site as to hearing multiple explosions cannot be explained by other than a controlled demolition.

There is the law of physics that cannot be gotten around. In my opinion, it is not possible for a fire on one or two connected by rebar reinforced concrete floors, to do any significant damage to any floors beyond one floor down or two floors above, much less to cause them to collapse. They were demolished with explosives to have collapsed within the two minutes before they collapsed. I distinctly heard the explosions as a Japanese helicopter flew around the trade center while it was smoking.

I also have my own side business as an artist which is my long term career goal. I care very much about our environment and work as hard as I can to contribute positive change to our beautiful earth. I'm very concerned about finding out the truth of what really happened and who is responsible for the horrific events that took place on 9/11/01. I have always had faith in the U.S government and have always felt truly blessed and safe to be an American. My core beliefs have been shook due to the undeniable evidence from 9/11 that has been collected. Something has to be done and it is up to the people of this country to make it happen
The people responsible for the tragedy that took place on September 11th 2001 need to be held accountable. We the people of the United States Of America are a owed answers from proper investigation into the day that claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people. Our government was put in place by the people and for the people and they should be working for us and not against us. It is clear based on all the evidence collected over a decade that our government was behind some if not all of the events that took place on September 11 2001. I refuse to remain silent on this matter from this day forward!!!! WE NEED A NEW INVESTIGATION!!!!

I have no professional experience. But after years of getting information, there's no other way to see the official story as anything but a fraud. And I want the truth.
I was asleep on this issue until I saw Loose Change on the internet in 2006. I've been hesitant to accept the controlled demolition theory but after watching Gage, Jones, and a few others who have spoken out, I have to accept it. I want to know who was behind this because I know it wasn't some people living in caves, bringing box cutters onto a plane. Until this is out in the open, we will not be America. We will only be people living under the guise of democracy, too asleep or too afraid to think otherwise.

I knew something wasn't right the day of Sept 11. I have worked in burned out buildings, and many structural steel buildings from the ground up.
I knew something wasn't right that day of Sept 11. My suspicions were proven, in my opinion, when they started carting off the debris so soon before a thorough investigation could take place. It really breaks my heart.

I have more than the high school physics education it takes to soundly debunk the official story of WTC7's collapse. Now what?
For years I didn't even know there was a third steel skyscraper to collapse on 9/11. When I saw the footage for the first time I had the same reaction many news anchors voiced live that day- it's eerily similar to a controlled demolition. When I looked deeper, with an open mind, I found that the physics of the collapses confirm that observation and expose the official story as clearly false.

It is inconcievable to me that all three buildings collapsed as they did - especially bldg 7 which wasn't even hit by a plane - but exploded independently and fell to the ground as if it were caused by a controlled demolition.

It is impossible that this was caused by the reported cause of disaster. Through misinformation we have received a false idea of the events. It is very clear that these were intentional and caused from within the boundaries of the Unites States as opposed to foreign intervention.

I just retired after 34 years of work in one place. My health is sliding faster then I would want. I'm diagnosed with C.I.D.P. It's a rare form of Neuropathy. It affects all muscles also. It gradually gets worse all the time and there is no cure. I hope to travel some and to get back into hiking again. My time is running kind of fast now. I've had this for 10 years now. I got it from taking statin drugs. I just turned 55 years of age.
I was at work on 9/11 and some co-workers and I were listening to NPR on the radio while working. Then the news came over the radio about the first strike. One co-worker went to his locker and retrieved a 9 inch TV, which we watched. We just quit working and were in silence as we watched the second Tower get hit. Then we watched in horror as the first Tower fell. I always remember this next part. Not knowing the truth for another 9 years, I turned to a co-worker and said, Wow! They sure don't make buildings like they used to. When I did see the truth, it was because I was looking for video footage of 9/11. I was blind sided.

I have studied History, American Studies and Politics for 5 years, and have been specifically following the fall out of 9/11 since the day it happened. Only now does it feel like the truth may come out, with the support of academics and architects particularly.
It is very clear that amount of concrete and steel couldn't have been displaced by a simple 'pancake fashion' collapse. Some explosives must have been used to take the three Towers down, into their own footprint, at free-fall speed. The implications of explosives however, are of epic proportions.

The Twin Towers exploded into dust and shattered steel. I don't believe that the Towers collapsed spontaneously. It looks like controlled demolition. Plus, Building 7 imploded late on 9/11 and it was not hit by an aircraft. All the buildings collapsed like the art of controlled demolition.

I am an American citizen and have been living in Israel for the past 40 years. Still, I try to pay attention to all that is going on there. However, it was the official story and that alone I was hearing over the news media. Then I was sent a video by someone I work with.
After having heard what Architects and Engineers were saying about the collapse of Building #7 at the Trade Center, I found their conclusions as to the events that took place that day to be shockingly believable.

We have three children, and my husband has been working as a musician playing the French Horn his entire career. I did not find work in my field when I came to Israel, and studied to become an English teacher, which I was never entirely satisfied with. All my life I have been creative with my hands, and made a business out of it when the internet first became popular.
Having heard the explanation of what happened to building #7 from Architects and Engineers, among others, I became convinced that the official story is not the real or whole story. Also so many reports of explosions that were ignored in the official version; calls in itself for further investigation.

Based on my own research into the circumstances surrounding the 9/11 tragedy, I believe there is a lot of information being withheld from the general public that we have a right to. One of the first steps toward revealing the truth is a full understanding of those circumstances, which is why I believe a deeper investigation into the collapse of the buildings is of utmost importance.

I have recently reviewed several documentaries featuring Richard Gage and I'm completely convinced that the official story is the either the result of professional neglect or outright criminal intent on the part of those charged with investigating the events of 9/11 and interpreting those events for the public. I am reasonably convinced that all of the WTC high-rise collapses were due to controlled demolition.
