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.

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've been working for 5 years in Ireland and Spain. My degree in Architecture includes 5 years of statics, more than enough to be able to understand complex structural concepts.
There are many flaws in the official story and I think it has been demonstrated that the towers did not fall due to the impact of the planes alone, but from a planned demolition. It is a shame for the US and the whole world. I hope the case is reviewed soon and everyone involved is condemned. This looks like a Pearl Harbor II.

I am really impressed (and horrified) as to the masterful and deceitful demolition job that was done on the World Trade Center Complex Bldgs. 1,2,&7, especially 7, and their ability to pass this off on the majority. Superthermite, thermate, nanoparticles, remote-controlled airliners, multiple explosions/ejections in and from the buildings prior to collapse and during their non-impeded free-fall---all paid for with our tax dollars! I have viewed Bldg. 7 collapsing at least 50 times-ABSOLUTELY NO WAY WAS THIS POSSIBLE ON ITS OWN!!!! Classic and rather obvious controlled sequential demolition. They really do think we're stupid.

Occupation: Principal Architect
I am the head architect for Milwaukee County Department of Transportation & Public Works. We provide technical, design, and engineering advice and support for county agencies that own and operate over 800 buildings. The buildings include airports, mental health facilities, courthouses, museums, large horticultural and conservatory facilities, recreation facilities, golf clubhouses, and park pavilions, to name a few. I have over 20 years experience in private practice and was an architect for a fortune 500 corporation for over 8 years. I have a degree in Architectural Engineering with a structural engineering emphasis. I also was an associate with an engineering firm that specialized in the design of underground structural systems and water treatment and transportation facilities. I was personally responsible for the design and project management of some of these projects.
WTC Building #7 could not have fallen to the ground as swiftly as it did without assistance from some outside source other than an aircraft or falling debris. The Empire State Building did not fall to the ground when it was hit by a huge propeller driven aircraft. WTC 1 & 2 should not have fallen either. Something helped those buildings collapse on themselves, something other than those jet aircraft.

I have been involved in engineering and construction for 38 years. I had worked for the Defense Department for 8 years and held two secret clearances, and I had worked on the space program for four years. I come from a military/law enforcement family background, and I have always questioned the cover-ups involving the assassinations of the 1960's. I teach at the college level now. I went down the the pile to try and find a policeman friend who perished in the collapse of the south tower. We never found him. I also went to five firefighter funerals. In total, I lost 7 friends in the towers - 6 NYFD and one NYPD.
With my Defense Department background, I kept wondering where our fighter jet response was that morning of September the 11th. I also immediately suspected that there was something amiss due to the speed and the manner in which the two towers collapsed. As I watched them fall, my mind said: Does not compute... Furthermore, when the Pentagon got hit, it did not make sense to me due to it being the most heavily fortified building on earth. When Building 7 collapsed, I was then finally convinced that there was definitely subversion occurring...

The physical evidence pointing to a controlled demolition of the WTC towers and WTC building 7 are undeniable. An independent investigation of the evidence is needed to answer the many outstanding questions that have never been addressed. The official explanation of the events of 9/11 are clearly false, and must be independently investigated so that the truth of the physical evidence can be brought to light.

These buildings were designed to withstand the impact of heavy aircraft like the planes that hit them. No steel framed building has ever suffered complete collapse, even from fires that burned much longer and hotter than at the WTC. I believe the modelling of the structural elements and failure mechanisms as done for NIST contains unrealistic loading factors and only through those factors are NIST able to show a total collapse happening.

Right from the outset I could not believe that the Towers could be so flimsy that they would collapse like a house of cards with such minor damage. When I watched the initial footage of firemen going into the lobby of the North Tower I was confused as to why all the windows had been blown out and massive marble panels had been blown off the walls. Later when I watched WTC 7 come down I jumped out of my seat and screamed at the TV that this was a controlled demolition.

I don't have any expertise in this area, but firmly believe that a second investigation would prove to be significant for the political powers that help make this happen. The People need answers, The People need closure. We demand it!
I remember waking to the phone call that morning telling me to turn on my TV. As I sat and watched in horror, minute by minute losing more of my faith in America. What happened to the America I had pledged my allegance to as a child?As the towers fell, I just knew that there was NO WAY the plane crash could do this type of destruction, but I TRUSTED my Government to put all of the pieces together and solve the issue. That has not happened. Instead we are spoon fed these slanted scenarios and colorful model animations. Really?Anyone with even the slightest bit of curiousity can easily do an internet search to learn more about the temperatures required to melt steel. The original fire ball frm the crash impact would have burned off the majority of the fuel. We want answers.I have witnessed building demolition (implosion) and it is clear to me that these towers were imploded by expert demolition. Please stop insulting American intelligence and reopen the investigation.EVERYONE makes mistakes. Look how many times We The People have trusted the FDA on it's drug approvals, only to see them recalled with lawsuts after they were wrong.Bring back our trust in the America we knew as chldren. The entire World looks upon us as idiots to believe the NIST reports. Lets change that and rebuild the trust of the American taxpayers/voters!

I've had nagging feelings about 9/11 since that terrible day. I've thought that if the planes were enough to knock those buildings over that they should have toppled over, not perfectly imploded. It wasn't until a friend from Disney showed me your movie that it all hit home... hard. I want to know what happened

I am interested in obtaining a truth which, while not necessarily retributive, starts a closure process allowing us to absorb the reality and prepare the way for a Western Society which is truly free. Unfortunately, the aftermath of 9-11 has had profound and negative effects on the lives of UK citizens too. We are consistently under surveillance by our government, civil liberties are diminished, privacy eroded - all in the name of added security. We've just spent 6 billion pounds (around 9 billion dollars) on an aircraft carrier. We need to be ashamed of this dreadful waste of money which merely serves to promote aggression. Let's get to the truth of 9-11 so that both our nations can stop posturing as the policemen of the world, save unimaginable sums of money and countless lives and live in peace.

I think it's absolutely obvious that the 3 buildings have been torn down by some planted devices inside. There is too much evidence that are impossible to deny forever, unless all the system is rigged. These overwhelming lies are not gonna last forever...with this lurid pretext they started several wars killing millions of innocent civilians. Only insane people do this ..and unfortunately they are rich and greedy too. Stop this madness, Hitler was nothing compared them.

I'm someone who is very curious and tries to be objective about information that is given to the public. September 11, among others, leaves me puzzled. In my experience, the information - as relayed by the mainstream media - shows that the most serious and sensitive issues are barely discussed while others are sloppily presented or outright lies (using evidence and facts as a measuring stick, I realize that official versions are overall false). - - - - Je suis quelqu'un de tr's curieux et qui prend du recul sur chaque information publi'e.Le 11 Septembre, en autres, me laisse perplexe. Mon exp'rience sur les diff'rentes informations relay'es par les m'dias dominants montre que la plupart des sujets s'rieux et sensibles ne sont pas d'battus, ou sont b'cl's, voir m'me mensong's (je compare par rapport aux preuves et aux faits, et je me rend compte que les versions officielles sont dans l'ensemble mensong'res).
I declare that the official investigation is rotten to the core. Thousands of families want to know the truth, and therefore deserve TOTAL transparency. In fact, just the fact that both Towers collapsed at free fall speed and that this fact was not even mentioned in the formal investigation leaves me perplexed. Additionally, the slow motion replays of the collapses clearly show the presence of explosives. It would certainly have made sense. Secondly, the fact that another high rise (which was not hit by a plane) collapsed as well ... due to explosives ... makes me think that this 'formal investigation' is more of a collaboration with those who actually carried out the attacks on September 11. An independent investigation must and should be performed so that justice and truth can finally be revealed! Truth always prevails in the end. - - - - Je d'clare que l'enqu'te officielle est b'cl'e jusqu'' la racine.Des milliers de familles veulent savoir la V'rit' et attendent donc un 'claircissement TOTAL. En effet, rien que le fait que les deux tours se sont 'croul'es aussi vite qu'une chute libre sans que l'enqu'te officielle n'en parle me rend plus que perplexe.De plus, on peut bel et bien et voir sur les ralentis que des explosifs sont pr'sent. Cela serait plus que logique.Ensuite, le fait qu'une autre tour (qui n'a pas 't' touch'e par un avion) s''croule elle aussi...' cause d'explosifs...me fait penser que cette enqu'te officielle n'est qu'une collaboration avec ceux qui ont v'ritablement mis en oeuvre le 11 Septembre. Une enqu'te ind'pendante DOIT et DEVRA 'tre r'alis'e afin que la Justice et la V'rit' se d'voile enfin!La V'rit' finit toujours pas triompher.

I am not an architect and do not have a PHD or any other kind of degree or education beyond a high school diploma. I have spent the last six years working as a Test & Balance Technician in the field of commercial and industrial Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC). I plan to attend school in the very near future to further my skills and education. But more specifically to pursue an Associate of Science in Computer Information Technologies most likely from Southern New Hampshire University, as well as an HVAC course at a different institute in order to obtain my EPA Section 608 Certification and then possibly my Indoor Air Quality cert.
Once presented with all the facts and evidence from so many credible professionals such as the architects and engineers involved with your organization, its pretty hard to look away and not feel an overwhelming burning from within to help expose the truth of 911 and finally get some kind of justice for the families of all those lost that day. It is clear as day to see that all three of those buildings were brought down as a result of controlled demolitions. The evidence is overwhelming and people need to stop ignoring it and see the world for what it really is!!!!!!
