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 a structural engineer and architect with an active practice in Las Vegas NV. I'm also a retired hospital engineer and director of engineering services, and have had a long term private practice in Washington DC working for the federal government. I regularly practice structural engineering for low rise buildings. I have also done mechanical and electrical engineering in support of architectural design for many clients over my career.
"I have lived in Las Vegas NV and I have observed many intentional building demolitions that appeared identical to the 9/11 building ""collapses"". When I watched the 9/11 attacks I thought to myself that those buildings were designed to withstand this type of calamity. Yet they collapsed perfectly, without harming any adjacent buildings, just like a controlled demolition."

Professor Stephen Jones analysis of the use of thermite to aid in the destruction of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 is indespituble. We have a sick government.

Skilled carpenter. Building technician. Architect, working as an architect since 1998. Architect MAA and member of the Danish Architect Society. Fear is a billion-dollar industry that creates weapons, conflicts and war. Peace is a billion-dollar industry, probably at least 100,000 times bigger than fear! One day, the majority of the US administration will hopefully understand that true power comes with peace and will respect those that ask for a proper investigation.
Building 7 is the main reason for me. This building did not have to come down, because it was not hit. In my opinion it came down because of human interference (demolition). Example: In Scandinavia we have had 2 large ship disasters. The first was Scandinavian Star in 1990, where a fire at sea killed almost 160 people (today we know it was because of insurance fraud). The second was Estonia in 1994. The public was told the front of the ship was lost in bad sea. 852 people died. Today divers have discovered a 4m long horizontal gap on the side of the ship wreck, showing that the ship was hit underwater or something. A new investigation is on its way, also it will be shown in national TV, but the reason for this to happen, is because relatives to the 852 people have raised the money for this. Maybe this could be a way concerning 9/11 and Building 7? The truth will always come forward, no matter what.

I was working in Brighton(UK) on 9/11. It was in a small office where one of the guys saw an internet news feed about the first plane. We then all started checking to see what was going on. We saw the 2nd plane hit and the collapse of the 2 towers. My first reaction was shock at how neatly the towers went down and didn't collapse at an angle from the point of impact. I must admit, even without any engineering experience, I smelt a rat. Subsequently of course with such a media storm and evidence and facts coming out bit by bit over the years I am even more convinced 2 planes alone did not achieve this. Leaving aside WTC7 and the Pentagon.

None.. just a regular Mom, Grandma, and great grandmom. I learned long ago that 9/11 was a lie from the very beginning...sitting at my desk at a local hospital and watching the second Tower come down , my first words out of my mouth, (as I spoke to myself) were: ' how does that happen?'.'..friends gave me info in 2009, that made me research 9/11 ...a mere child could put 2+2 and get 4....same thing with the lies and fraud about the truth of 9/11. it sickens me!!...
Lies..bogus findings from NIST ...sickening investigation to say the least! Too many witnesses who speak of explosions ongoing in the Towers before they came down. ...my words as I watched it all on TV were, 'How is that possible?'

I have a first-year university level of physics education. I understand enough to be skeptical of the official account.
I believe that, in the interest of those who died and those who lost loved ones on 9/11/2001, there should be a more comprehensive, independent, and critical look at the event.

I have degrees in accounting and business. I consider myself highly intelligent and intuitive. Much of my free time is spent researching credible information that that supports the existence of corrupt individuals and bureaucracies.
I am insulted at how such an obvious demolition is written off to the American people. Building 7 is the weakest link in an obvious cover-up of 9/11. It cannot be denied, it must be pursued.

When I saw the Towers come down I new something was wrong. Nothing that strongly built could come down that symmetrically and quickly without a very good plan of destruction at many floor levels. To tell the truth, the planners would have to be some of the very best at demolition. When I saw WTC7 come down I knew there was a crime not perpetrated by a man in a cave. Impossible

In my opinion, all that is relevant is having the ability to think rationally and critically, and to be an honest human being with a conscience. That is my relevant biography.
I find it thoroughly implausible that on September 11th 2001 the impact of, and burning fuel from, two commercial passenger airplanes brought down three towers at the World Trade Center in New York City. I find the fact that these steel towers melted from a jet fuel fire implausible. I find the fact that these towers collapsed in just a few hours implausible. I find the speed at which they collapsed (at near free fall rate) to be disturbing. I find the manner in which they collapsed vertically straight downwards disturbing. Unless the laws of physics became inapplicable on September 11th 2001 in New York City, then something clearly does not add up. I know not who did it. I know not how. But I do know that two jets with burning fuel, on their own did not bring down those three steel towers at that speed.

Just a working class, blue collar union dude that understands that it does not 'take a rocket scientist' to know that 46 story modern skyscrapers do not come down in their own footprint on their own (minimal damage: small fires). They need allot of very precise help.
Keep up the great work and do not give up!

It appears to be a controlled explosion. After listening to eye witness accounts and watching video of the destruction of the Towers it is clear they were brought down by explosives, not a jet airplane or jet fuel burning. It is clear there has been a cover up. I am aware of a number of government employees who have told lies because they were told to. In this case whistleblowers have been fired like Kevin Ryan, the UL employee who reported that the tests UL did on the steel supporters would not have collapsed due to the fire. It is a sad day when you can't trust your own government and after this cover up by both parties it becomes a question of who can you trust? This needs to be cleared up.
