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 was shocked when I saw WTC #1&2 collapse at near freefall acceleration, and I knew immediately that explosives had to have been used to remove the resistance of the concrete and steel BELOW the area where the planes hit.Then when I saw WTC #7 fall at free fall acceleration, I knew that there was a big problem with the official story. I am grateful that I am an engineer and have an analytical mind. I have been very disappointed with so many friends and family members who refuse to think for themselves and just blindly trust the government, even though the official story is easily refuted by using simple physics.

I graduated from RISD with a Master of Architecture and have been an architect in New York City for 8 years. I have worked for Gensler as a project designer, and last year founded my own practice, Salterworks.
I was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. My father worked in the financial district and ran for his life when the buildings fell. I wasn't sure that day if he survived. I believed the lie that the towers collapsed due to fire for a decade, until I started seeing some videos and documentaries online that presented irrefutable evidence that those buildings were demolished, which can only indicate foul play. This is one of the most important organizations in demanding a new investigation into the destruction of the three WTC towers.

Hello, I am a young French architect specializing in environmental architecture. I work in Brittany, at a very local scale, but I am very interested by the issues that concern the world's population.
Regarding 9/11, it is not necessary to be an architect or an engineer to allow one's self to see with open eyes -all the evidence is there at our disposal. Every citizen has a duty to question information provided to it and examine the facts. I whole-heartedly support the association Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth. Tirelessly.

When I first watched the first tower fall live on TV, before knowing what would occur in the ensuing seconds, I remember saying after the top started to collapse that Well ... it looks like we will have an 80 story tower! I could not fathom the total collapse of they building. As the top of the building began to fall and be unsupported, the 'supporting forces' (or resisting forces)of the lower floors would have made the upper floors continue their tipping until it fell over and off the remaining floors of the building. The total collapse was unfathomable. With the top floors shed, I would have expected the wrecked interface area to extent only a few floors below where the break was. Ultimately I accepted the given wisdom of those who said it was fire and flawed construction that led to the building's failures. However, over the ensuing years after viewing discussions of the collapse by skeptics of the 'official' story, I began being more aware of the arguments. The information presented in the Stephen Jones DVD and the first Richard Gage DVD provide the opportunity to see the reality of the physics of the collapse. Upon further reflection of the laws of physics and engineering principles, I truly believe that even if fire and the trauma to the structure from the collisions were sufficient to instigate the collapse, that it could not propagate very far. The collapse of WTC-7 is wholy unlike any collapse scenario that I can envision ... without it being intentionally destroyed. The building did not wobble, lean, crumble, sag or show signs of failure until it collapsed. Unimaginable! I believe that a new independent investigation is needed.

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 have seen on TV commercial buildings collapse under controlled demolition prior to 911. I have been told that no certified US demolition companies will comment officially on 911. I personally saw and heard in real time 2 firemen (one dirty and exhausted, seated outside on a low brick garden wall) and another just reporting for action - nice and clean. Both were looking at Building 7 in the near background (1 block?) away and to the question for the exhausted one by the fresh one regarding its status the exhausted one looked at his watch and said as clearly as I can remember, Its going down about 4:30! I didn't think too much about it at the time but now I think about it a lot whenever 911 comes up!

I have 30 years experience developing electronic control systems for the military, industrial, automotive, and medical industries.
There is undeniable evidence that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7, falling in a very synchronous and even manner, were man-induced demolitions. The government has never presented anything concrete that proves otherwise. NIST's presented data is so inconclusive it is simply hilarious. Wake up people, and force the government to expose the truth. There are people in government who must fall for this, including a couple of presidents.

During the 1960s I studied construction technology at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I obtained a BFA from Herron School of Art in 1974. I became a licensed architect in the state of Indiana through the grandfather clause in 1977. During my career I taught construction technology at IUPUI, Ivy Tech, and Vincennes Universities. I worked for medium to large architectural firms on projects of varying sizes, both residential and commercial. I established a private practice specializing in residential and small commercial projects. I became LEED accredited in 2005. Throughout my architectural carrier, I have produced artwork based on Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry.
It is obvious that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. This fact has huge consequences for our nation and the world. We are at a crossroads. How we come down on the two sides of this issue will bear heavily on the direction of humanity's future. At the here and now, we must find the courage and perseverance to uncover and confront the truth wherever it may lead. Only then can we begin the work of fashioning a better world. I am proud of our profession for taking the lead on this issue. Our expertise, our ability to reason and present complicated concepts, our integrity and professional restraint are precisely the qualities needed. At this moment in time, we are the ones.

My education is largely the result of an inquiring mind and life experience (plenty of that at 61 years of age!) though I do have some college education and have raised 4 children.
At first, I suppose I was like most, if not all Americans, who bought into the 'story' as told. In the years since, I have done quite a bit of exploring the event and have found more questions than answers, so here I am!

I have read many books and watched many documentaries on the crime of 9/11 and have come to realize that we as Americans were lied to by the media and the government. Thank you to all the organizations and people who still to this day continue to work to get to the truth about what really happened on 9/11 so that those who did this can be brought to justice for the sake of all of those who were murdered on that day in broad daylight and all those who have died since for reasons related to this crime.
I do not believe the 9/11 story as told by the media on that day and thereafter. I request that a real investigation into this tragic event be made and that those who did this crime are brought to justice.

The very first images on TV that day did not look right when both buildings collapsed in a few seconds .The fires would have burnt themselves out or been extinguished by the firefighters. The structures below should have remained intact. It just looked suspicious on the day it happened.

It doesn't take a scientist to see that the twin towers and the building that was not hit by planes (Bldg 7) came down due to demolition explosives, not fires within the buildings. There are many questions regarding what actually happened to these buildings as well as the Pentagon. Explanations by the government have never made any sense and its time for a real (honest) investigation.

The video evidence shows building collapses which are inconsistent with the reasoning given in the official report, and they appear to be consistent with the patterns of controlled demolition.No skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire, and the fires did not burn hot enough to melt or weaken steel. Furthermore the presence of molten steel and high temperatures recorded at the site suggest that devices other than airplanes were responsible for bringing down the towers.Numerous firemen and policemen reported multiple explosions throughout the building.

There has been so much evidence, not only caught on tape but confirmed by intellectual people including Engineers and Architects who believe, as do I, that the story given to the American people was a lie. This is disgraceful not only to the public but to the immediate family who have been given this lie. There is no closure to these families. I do not trust a government that lies to its people for personal gain. Make the American people trust once again. Let them know that the truth will be finally admitted. It is not too late. Thank you.

I have seen many recordings from various angles of the WTC from that fateful 9/11. Also, I have watched videos from countless engineers who insist that steel buildings just do not fall in the manner the WTC did -- and to confirm, I've watched footage of steel buildings burning for days before even starting to crumble. And I have questions about why Building 7 was brought down. An independent investigation should be conducted and the truth be brought to the public. After all, that incident catapulted our country to the never-ending war that we and other countries live with still today.

There is No Doubt in my mind that what I saw on 9/11 was a Controlled Demolition. I know enough about how skyscrapers are built to know that no plane and diesel fuel, thats what jet fuel is, could take down the Steel and Concrete structures designed the way those buildings were. It is way past time for the TRUTH to be known. I fully support a Clear Independent Investigation into 9/11.
