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 licensed Architect with a Masters Degree from the University of Michigan and a concerned US citizen for the health of our democracy and future of our country.
Studied the collapses by reviewing 100's of online articles, Richard Gage's documentary. I have looked into this for well over the past 5 years. I have concluded the airliners were not the the cause WTC1, WTC2 or WTC7 to collapse. Interior demolition explosives had to be planted in the buildings prior and the primary cause of the collapses. My concern is to open the investigation based on the facts, then find out who did it, why and prevent it from happening again. This kind of crime, gone unchecked, will undoubtably happen again in worse fashion in the form of a mushroom cloud. I think it is time for the American People to take the blinders off.

My area is in water resources, but the basic CE curriculum provides enough basis to understand the physics and structural evidence presented by the experts. My software simulation background tells me that simulation results without knowing the inputs to the simulation are meaningless. That NIST is secretive about their methods casts grave doubts on their reported results.

I have been in architecture and construction for over 30 years. My primary experience was with K-12 public school buildings in rural Colorado communities. I am licensed in architecture in Colorado and Arizona and have a general contracting license in Denver, Colorado. Currently I work with a local developer on multiple projects.
Having reviewed hours of internet-based testimony regarding 9/11, I conclude the facts just don't add up. I have always been careful to focus on my discipline, architecture, and not try to be a structural engineer; however, I understand enough about structural engineering to question the 9/11 Commission's conclusions. I think it is important to review all the evidence and all the theories toward a more comprehensive explanation. 9/11 in itself was a sad day, but the aftermath has been even more tragic. We don't need a witch hunt, but we do need a better understanding of the facts to aid all of us to make prudent decisions for the future of the world.

I'm a materials engineer and I studied at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I worked in materials testing for Dorbyl Ltd and the Atomic Energy Corporation, then I moved to the UK. Since then, I have been developing software for materials testing specialist Instron Corporation and others.
I appeal to the lay person's common sense and day-to-day experience of how our physical world functions. Most people have seen footage of controlled demolitions; they are reminiscent of the behavior of the falling WTC structures. There are some serious unanswered questions in this regard. In addition, as a materials engineer, I know that steel and reinforced concrete buildings do not 'collapse' in the range of temperatures and time of exposure experienced by the WTC structures. I find the official explanation unsatisfactory and patronizing.

I was always wondering about how they could collapse under the circumstances... since, while growing up, we used what was known as primus which is a kerosene burning appliance.. (kerosene is the major component of jet fuel). While cooking using kerosene in the most efficient manner (hottest possible flames), the appliance was made of very thin steel and our vessels were also very thin. They did not melt or distort ever, even when used for hours. When I saw the collapse of Bldg. 7 (several years later) that clinched it for me.

On 9/11 I felt, no that cannot be, that is not right. I just saw 3 buildings destroyed by controlled demolition. It immediately made me perk up and pay attention. I began to wonder what this meant. after a week of news it became apparent this was much more than everyone was thinking. The witnesses were saying there were explosions / I thought the idea of pancaking was contradictory to the structure I knew the towers had. These buildings just could not free-fall without some kind of explosive help getting rid of key core columns.

Since 9/11, world leaders have focussed on redressing the 'wrongs' of the event, even without thorough investigations, putting the world in peril, instead of focussing on the real threat which is environmental catastrophe and lack of oxygen.

This is the biggest and most consequential historical event in my lifetime, so I would argue that it is very much worth re-visiting, now and again in the future, as many times as necessary, until we have the full, scientific, evidence-based picture of the events of that day. That day is responsible for a huge change in legal framework (Patriot Act, NDAA etc) as well as countless lives which continue to be lost. I make zero conjecture as to who is ultimately responsible because right now, the facts and the evidence about what physically happened are all that are important to me, and are the only things left I can trust regarding this issue. I am on an open-minded quest for the actual truth on this utmost important subject, rather than what I want to believe on either side. As such, scientific evidence is my first and only recourse. We desperately need an independent investigation into the events of 9/11 so that we may all heal. After all - if the government had nothing to hide, wouldn't they want to actively come forward & prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, as is done in court for even the most trivial issues?

Never before has a steel building collapsed because of fire. Three buildings collapsed in FREE fall in a matter of a few hours? And molten metal has been shown? Where was the investigation? Osama was accused by an Israeli the same afternoon. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MISSING BILLIONS RUMSFELD REPORTED THE PREVIOUS DAY?

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth presents compelling information concerning the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 that has not been adequately refuted by official channels, in my opinion. I am interested in getting satisfactory answers to all of the questions raised by this organization, because I believe truth and transparency is critical for our public discourse. On a personal level, my motivation is not based on a quest for vengeance or punishment for anyone. Rather, I am just trying to do what I have always been taught to do, which is to follow the scientific method.

There have been many tall steel-reinforced structure fires since 9/11, Grenfell Tower in London being the most recent example, none of these towers have fallen into their own footprint at Free Fall speed as did the towers on 9/11 and building 7 which was not hit by an airplane.

I remembered video taping CBS on 911 and continuing to tape thru the night. In subsequent reviewing of what I recorded, I can remember Dan Rather talking about explosive charges he thought were used to take down Building 7 because it was deemed unsafe. I always thought that was curious, because I knew you don't just randomly set explosives in buildings to take them down. When I saw one of your videos of that same broadcast segment with Mr. Rather, it piqued my memory of that video recording and led me to your web site.

I worked for the University of Iowa Facilities Management Department before I retired. We watched a video of the demolition of an old Iowa State residence hall. It showed the building coming down in its own footprint.
The building collapses looked like the video I watched of the demolition of an old residence hall at Iowa State University. The film explained how much training it took to know where and how to plant the explosive so the building would collapse in on its area.

When I first witnessed the destruction of the towers, the first words I said was 'They brought them down!'. I did not see building 7 destruction until later and when I did I was fully convinced of my opinion. I am not an engineer but I have experience in excavation and building practices to know pressures and loads and these collapses I am convinced was controlled. Secondly my experience with government bureaucrats and their official interpretations of the Law leads me to conclude that most are outright liars and deceivers.

Don't think my experience is particularly relevant, I work as a security tech. Having a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy I'd have to say it seems to me most people who just swallow the 'official' conspiracy theory are under a form of mass hypnosis when it comes to this issue.
It looks all wrong even to an untrained eye, the way the plane cut into the building, the way it fell down. The buildings that were destroyed that weren't even hit and the style of damage in particular to building 6. Just doesn't fit the official story.

I am just your average American girl living on a small piece of property on the outskirts of Huntsville, AL. We have a pig, 3 chickens, 2 pugs and a barn cat. We both own our cars and our home outright, no payments to make anymore. We are very comfortable in what we have and are not in need of anything. I am 51 and my husband is 58. We are enjoying our grandchildren and are looking forward to good times. What we don't have is honesty from our leaders. We want answers. We want to be able to feel safe walking down the sidewalk of our home. I get the fact that the president has a job to do and must make some tough choices but at this point I have 'Trust' issues. If he can't be honest and tell the truth about something of this magnitude then how are we able to trust him with our country, our lives and our families. This changes things for us, we don't trust the government to make the right choices, WE ARE VERY ANGRY.
I have just seen the 'truth about building 7. I have always thought that there were things that the government hasn't told us or left out. When I watched other documentaries just a few little things popped out at me like the explosions, etc. that no one has been able to explain to me until now. I want the truth just as much as anyone and I completely am behind you. Thank you, Yvette
