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 have a Masters degree, Cum Laude, in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I was also accepted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society. I have 30 years of diverse design and on-site experience in the engineering field. My most relevant credentials in contributing to AE911truth is my extensive experience in computer simulation of structures and mechanical components. My active membership in NAFEMS is also a testament to my interest in modeling and simulation.
I recently reviewed much of the documentation that AE911truth has supplied and also other sources. My conclusion, based on my engineering experience and intuition, is that structures that are struck in a random nature do not respond with the type of symmetry we see in the WTC towers collapse. In fact, if one were hypothetically tasked to collapse these towers as symmetrically as they fell, it would be nearly impossible, at least for someone without expertise in demolition or other advanced techniques.

I am qualified with a Masters degree in the first class in the subject of civil engineering from the University of Nottingham, UK. Since graduating in 2004 I spent six years as a civil engineer in Manchester, working mainly in the area of structural design and including over 2 years of construction site experience. Since July 2011, I have been working on a large construction project in Malta as a site engineer, structural designer and project manager.
Having researched every aspect of the collapses using sources such as the videos presented on the A&E website, it is my dedicated opinion that controlled demolition was responsible. Drawing on my structural engineering experience, my knowledge of physics, the evidence presented in numerous credible websites and books, and above all basic common sense, I consider gravitational collapse to be a wholly inaccurate description for the collapse mechanism as it is not in keeping with any of the physical evidence. Such evidence is easily accessible online for anyone who is willing to do their own research, though willingness appears to come second to willful ignorance in many cases, then worst of all there is apathy. Out of the many unexplained anomalies uncovered in the official story of 9/11, the building collapses (particularly WTC7) are the aspects most communicable to the public in raising awareness of these anomalies along with the puzzling fact that we do not yet have any proof of who orchestrated the attacks.

The proportions of the Towers, locations of the plane impacts and the impossibility of the building falling through itself along with such a strong explosive force as to level the site needs to be 'seen' better by our fellow citizens. It would be interesting to see scaled physical, 3d printed models comparing the before and immediate aftermath of the collapses.

I am an environmental health specialist who is familiar with building and fire codes, as I am required to inspect facilities. I also have a strong background in chemistry and physics due to my undergraduate and post graduate studies.
My interest in questioning the official story about 9/11 began soon after the event and saw the immediate drumbeat to war with a country who had no involvement in event. Then to learn that no revision to the fire codes was even called for after three sky scrapers had purportedly collapsed due to fire that was able to spread as a result of missing foam and penetration--I started looking and realized that we have been lied to on a scale that is frightening and unimaginable.

My initial reaction to the 9/11 'attacks' was in line with what the mass media fed us and the official reports that finally emerged about the cause of the collapse of the twin towers.Years later upon viewing a AE911truth video about the unusual collapse of WTC 7 my curiosity and suspicions were whetted and I sought more information. Since that date to this, the evidence out there of controlled demolition of the towers is so glaringly obvious that it begs disbelief that the 9/11 Commission Report still stands as the official account and there still lacks the political will to conduct a proper scientific and forensic investigation.

I don't have any special qualifications when it comes to education nor expertise in any of the relevant fields but too many negative coincidences in any one given event means there's more than what's meeting ones eye. None of the official versions make any coherent sense.
Looks like a demo job to me and anyone no matter their level of expertise with said field can look at the evidence and see what we're being told is a blatant lie.

I graduated in Art & Interior Design in 1993. After 7 years I changed my professional perspective and became employed at Kyphon Inc. a medical device company located in Sunnyvale, CA which had been acquired by Medtronic in 2008. I started with Kyphon as a sales rep based in Germany and had been promoted to Sales Manager in 2003 and later to Business Unit Director Germany in 2004. From 2004-2008 I had been responsible for nearly 100 people in Germany. In 2009 I left Medtronic and worked in management positions of medical device companies ever since.
I do believe in the strong evidence provided by acknowledged Scientists, Architects, Technicians and Engineers. The tragic events of 9/11 needs to be further investigated in order to prove that the official version which had been told to the world was the biggest cover up in history. I learned about 'Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth' a couple of days ago and all memories of this tragic day are as present as it had happened yesterday. I am truly amazed how strong the group of people became and how much passion and time they put into this. I'm in awe of those who have the will and strength to uncover the truth , even though they might risking their jobs and careers. My prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones, and I wish for them to get justice by uncovering all those lies which had been fabricated by the government of the United States and which are still protected , almost 15 years after 9/11.

I have an associates degree in graphic design and have worked in the design field for about 8 years.
I've done a lot of research on 9/11 and very early in the process of that research (if you use common sense) you know things don't add up with what the government is feeding the public. The more research I did the more my eyes were opened to how evil the people in power are. Everything that the media said was lies. There are many theories on what happened that day and a lot of them are misinformation. So to avoid a long detailed description of what I think happen that day I will just say my eyes are open and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A new and impartial investigation into the Towers' collapse is warranted. The video footage, eye witness accounts, and assessments from professional Architects and Engineers suggest the possibility that the buildings (North/South Towers, and #7) collapsed with the aid of demolition experts. Thus far, there is not a scientifically valid explanation for why the buildings collapsed. For God and Country, we must do better.

I am a High school graduate. I am just a concerned American citizen that has common sense. Common sense tells me something is wrong with the official story. Their story doesn't add up to what I can plainly see with my own eyes. I am not a sheep and don't believe everything the government says as gospel. How could our defenses fail us so badly that day and cost thousands of American lives that day and the following days after 9/11? Including the many first responders and local citizens that survived as well as the soldiers that were thrust into wars that were a result of this tragic day.
Common sense alone tells you that these buildings cannot collapse they way they did by fire and planes hitting them. Especially building 7! Something is amiss and needs to be independently investigated!
