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.

BSEE Degree. Formally educated in Electrical Engineering, I am a self taught Software Engineer, and this is where the bulk of my working experience is in. I have designed analysis software for analyzing printed circuit board designs for electrical integrity. My experience also involves designing production flow software, and experience with schematic capture and PCB layout software.
The WTC Towers 1,2, and 7 all appear to be brought down by controlled demolition. In spite of the obvious cover-up of the evidence, we need a new, independent investigation that will follow the evidence wherever it leads. Those that are found to have culpability should and need to be brought to justice.

After getting M.S. in M.E. I did post graduate work in engineering economic systems and computer science. Later worked at Xerox Parc, Electronic Arts, and Autodesk designing and programming computer graphics programs such as Deluxe Paint and 3DStudio Max.
After viewing the videos of the collapse of Building 7, knowing that no airplane hit that building, I feel that there is a very high likelihood that a controlled demolition was the cause, and it should be investigated.

Anchorage, AK
Occupation: Petroleum Engineer
I earned a bachelor's in petroleum engineering, graduating cum laude, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in 2012. Subsequently, I went to work for BP (British Petroleum) as a petroleum engineer in 2013, working there as a drillsite engineer for 6 years, from 2013 until 2019. Prior to this, for 5 years I was an excavator shear operator at C&R Pipe & Steel in Fairbanks, Alaska, that processes all oil field scrap from the Alaska North Slope oil fields. In this job I operated a 70-ton 345 Caterpillar excavator with a Genesis shear head attached. On a daily basis I cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base.
Based on my job experience and engineering background and education, I know for certainty that structural steel, especially the thicknesses and amount of which was in WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 cannot fail either by weakened steel above it or from office fires. For 5 years, from 2004 to 2009, I operated a 70-ton Caterpillar excavator that had a 24,000 lb Genesis shear head on the front of it. I used this on a daily basis to demolish pre-fabricated steel structures, cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base). The aircraft in particular were paper thin and fell apart like paper when manipulated with the shear head. Steel, on the other hand, is a different story. From this work experience I know intuitively that steel cannot fail in the way NIST says was the case, and I also know from my engineering schooling that a steel structure failing in a collapse would not accelerate as quickly or quicker than the acceleration of gravity. Also, if the potential energy of the building was the only energy supplying the collapse, there would be no energy surplus available to eject multiple ton steel beam segments laterally, away from the collapse. NIST's official story is a sham, and that anyone is expected to believe it is laughable.

I am a graduate of The University of Arizona School of Architecture's five-year Bachelor of Architecture professional degree program. Since graduation, I have completed the IDP and have been cleared to sit for the ARE licensing exams. My qualifications in addition to the Architecture degree and 15 years of practical experience, include but are not limited to; listening, concept formulation and implementation, design development, contract documents, code research and compliance, project management, project architect, construction details, contract administration, mentoring, researching, learning, teaching, explaining, communication, sketching, hand drafting, computer drafting, modeling (physical and computer), AutoCAD, Revit, 3DstudioMax & Viz, Photoshop, Micro Station, and SketchUp.
I must concur that all of the tenets of the AE911truth.org arguments for a controlled demolition of the WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7, if truthful, are all valid reasons for a more comprehensive investigation as to what actually caused the collapse of the WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 on September 11th, 2001. I would further state that simply one of these tenets would be enough for a reinvestigation of the destruction, and that, combined, they make an overwhelming case for a reinvestigation. The implications of these allegations are far reaching and disturbing. I feel it is our duty as public servants to seek truth and in this case to expose a conspiracy that threatens not only liberty and freedom but all of the lives of the inhabitants of this planet. If this is in fact the case, I am surprised you are even allowed to speak or be heard.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in electrical engineering. I was in New York the day of the 9/11 attacks and witnessed the destruction of the twin towers first hand.
Typically, when trying to scientifically investigate the unknown cause of an event... a hypothesis is formed and tested. If it is shown that the hypothesis cannot be disproved it can be considered a possible theory. Some theories are however, better than others. Theories are often scrutinized over and compared against one another. I feel that the evidence that has been presented to me regarding the collapse of building 7 opens the possibility of better theory than the one that is currently accepted. It is my opinion that a re-evaluation of the destruction of the world trade center buildings is needed.

Occupation: Licensed Contractor
I have been in construction for over 30 years and have been extremely upset over 911 and the lack of government investigations. I have been involved in commercial construction and residential construction. I understand how strong steel and concrete are and it is almost impossible to pulverize concrete to dust. Also cutting steel beams at a 45 degree angle naturally is impossible.
There are many issues with the accounts of that day starting with our president hearing about it and almost looking sheepish and embarrassed like a kid who has lied or is hiding something. The facts have never been explained. How did building 7 collapse like it did no planes hit it? How could steel beams be cut like butter at a 45 degree angle (like controlled demolitions) Why are no good camera angles available of the pentagon? How could 3 non pilots hit a bulls eye of three buildings in other words 3 for 3 with no experience? Especially hitting the Pentagon we did not scramble aircraft and the alleged plane was almost touching the ground before hitting the building.

Employed 1963-1980 by my father and uncle who were union masonry contractors and apprenticed me as a bricklayer, 1968-1972. I also attended 4 semesters at South Dakota State University, '68-'70 (2yr. industrial engineering coarse not completed). I was a Union Journeyman bricklayer from 1972-2002 and have received SSDI since 2002. I was also a part time musician from 1965-1980 and mandatoriy attended ROTC during my college yrs. Campaigned for George McGovern in '80 and was an anti-Viet Nam war activist around '69. Became politically active again in 1983-1985 against US involvement in Central America and S. Africa, etc., than again in 2003-present against US involvement in the Middle East, etc.
I protested against the Iraq war in 2003 and learned a lot about the US gvmnt. from a 'liberal' radio station out of Mpls., MN beginning in 2004. I began protesting against many US wars in 2012-present. I was a little familiar with '911 truth' during these periods. I very recently watched a video on UTUBE about the Iluminati which said that a certain kind of explosibve containing aluminum and hydrogen could melt steel enough to make a building implode-that burning jet fuel doesn't melt steel-that a relative of George Bush's was a head of security at the World Trade Center- that he left office just before 911-that a 3rd World Trade bldg. (#7) also imploded later that same day. Other 911 truth videos have moved me to sign up with your group today.

I only have a High School diploma. I have not entered any educational institution to obtain any degree. Instead, I have furthered my education on various book reading, from a very large genre of topics of non-fiction; True Crime, World Wars, Forensic Science, Criminal Profiling, Serial Killers, and Political Leaders, just to name a few.
I have researched a great deal in books, independent and public news sources, along with internet research on the events of 9-11 and have no doubt in my mind that this was a false flag operation with involvement of some very well connected and highly organized group of individuals for a wide range of motives.

The story about the two Twin Towers is 'possible' to believe, but not that of WTC7. There is so much inconsistency about it. Also, this building was never mentioned in the NIST Report. WHY??

2000 ' 2004: Grundschule Emst in Hagen (elementary school)'2004 - 2013: Albrecht-D'rer-Gymnasium in Hagen (a very good secondary school) graduation: Abitur with 1.5 passed (possible grade range: from (min) 4.0 till (max) 1.0) very good grades in math and computer science (info). Since 2013: Student of Software engineering in Dortmund. Witnessed on 7 March 2004, the demolition of the 'Sparkasse Hagen tower' (101 m/331 ft high) in my home town Hagen. It was a controlled demolition, but the demolition was so far not as good as the collapse of the 9/11 Towers.
I read several articles, saw the important frames, that show the collapse of the WTC buildings, again and again, watched hours of several documentaries and read the book (in German) '11.9. - zehn Jahre danach: Der Einsturz eines L'gengeb'udes' (in English: 11.9 - 10 years after the collapse of a building full of lies) completely. There are so many unanswered questions, obvious indications that the government is badly involved in this and so many facts, which are ridiculous in reference to the official story. For instance: 'What happened to WTC 7?' And, (more important) 'Why does the official Commission Report (600 pages long) not mentioned it?'

What is that thing attached to the second military looking plane that hit the WTC? You could have hit those Towers with 10 planes and they would not have collapsed. Unless they were loaded with thermite of course.

I have suspected it was a controlled demolition from the beginning. But after watching such presentations as this, along with watching many documentaries that also highlight crucial evidence, has led me to believe it for a fact.

Witnessed planes crashing into the Towers on TV the day it happened. Could not believe what I was watching. Witnessed the Towers collapsing in absolute perfect symmetrical free fall. Even more unbelievable, I heard the official story some time later and knew it couldn't be believed.
