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 received a bachelor of science in aeronautical engineering with a minor in computer graphics and with a 3.55 GPA from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. In the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), I scored in top 6%. I've worked at Northrop Grumman Corporation as a system process engineer. And among other various employments, I was the pipeline engineering supervisor for the Lord of the Rings, working on all three films in New Zealand for Weta Digital to enhance the capability and efficiency of their computer-graphics production.
The official story about how the WTC buildings fell on September 11th is absolutely ridiculous. No fire-induced collapse, because of two jets, could cause a symmetrical fall of these three buildings at the acceleration of gravity--it's just physically impossible. The twin towers were engineered to withstand such aircraft strikes. And the videos of the three buildings falling also show clear signs of explosions that cannot be explained by any fire/jet caused collapse. Furthermore, there are innumerable eye-witness accounts of massive explosions (and demolition-style countdowns) that have no reasonable connection to the official story about why the buildings fell.

Occupation: Petroleum Engineer
I graduated with Civil and Environmental Engineering degrees from University of Central Florida. I then worked in a motor oil blending and bottling facility while pursing my M.S. in Environmental Engineering. I did graduate, but decided the field was not for me, so went on to receive an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech in 2014. I went to work for Schlumberger and had a good 5 1/2 years as a Field Engineer, Technical Sales and In-House Engineer for one of our clients. I loved the job, but fell victim to the most recent round of layoffs. My somewhat wide range of Engineering studies, including shaped charges used in perforating well casings, allow me to understand the great material AE911 truth is uncovering.
I find it very sad the country I grew up thinking as fair and just would produce such a shame of an investigation, and deceive the general public using a computer model. The destruction of evidence, filibustering of investigation requests, and guarding model inputs is obviously the product of corruption. Not to mention the collapse physics are just ridiculous to attribute to fire damage. We need to find out how such a catastrophic failure could occur. We paid in blood, and gained nothing. All data from the collapses needs to be shared openly if we are to be truly free.

I have witnessed controlled demolitions in the past and at my first inclination of watching in present time as the plane struck and then the world trade center building collapse that it resembled a controlled demolition. After getting over the shock of such an incident I was convinced that the buildings were brought down intentionally into what is called their foot print.
Since there were dozens of witnesses, fire fighters as well as citizens who told of explosive devices going off; and then architects and engineers backing up what I was sure of; I was more convinced than ever it was an inside job. I examined material on the internet very closely about Building 7 and the alleged cause was by fires when it was 300 feet from the Twin Towers and I was more convinced than ever it came down by a controlled demolition. How can anyone deny the facts presented by over 1000 Scientists over the political explanations by politicians? It is ludicrous.

I am a fresh graduate of architecture and am interested in innovative designs of skyscrappers specially those designed by Renzo Piano and Norman Foster.
I wonder how the steel melted. NIST is equally involved in this conspiracy and must be brought into justice. Americans must search for the truth behind the 9/11 and stop their government from killing innocent Muslims. It is noteworthy that how can USA invade any other (Muslim) country without even investigating the matter back at home?!

Occupation: Aviation Technology
I was formally trained by the government in aerospace technology: airframe structures, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems and the materials and methods for repairing and replenishing these systems. I was also trained and refreshed annually in aircraft firefighting. I was involved in aircraft accident recovery efforts and reconstruction. I worked as an aircraft corrosion specialist dealing with composition and subsequent treatment of metal alloys and their deterioration properties. This included metals subjected to many different stresses such as heat, vibration, acids, salts, biological attacks, and deterioration due to improper alloying.
Based on my past experience with aircraft fuel fires and their documented effect on metal structures, I simply cannot accept the official version of what happened to the three buildings that fell on 9/11. Given the temperature at which jet fuel burns, and the quantity involved in this particular incident, I believe it is patently impossible for it to heat a steel structure of the kind found in WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 to the point of catastrophic, free-fall collapse such as was exhibited by all three of these buildings on that day. I have personally witnessed mild-steel structures subjected to repeated applications of burning jet fuel over the course of days and weeks with no significant damage resulting to these much weaker structures. There is simply no logical reason to accept the NIST evaluation of the fuel fires on 9/11.

Having watched a large hotel in Harrisburg Pa being taken down into its footprint it looked exactly like WTC 1, 2, & 7!! Only engineers cut off from their common sense by political correctness think the 'official' version is true.

Occupation: Architect
In the trade 48 years. No degree (2 years of college), but self study and work experience allowed me to test and be licensed in 1985. I work with steel and concrete buildings along with many wood frame ones.I do most of the engineering myself. I also do some construction. I would say I have a lot of common sense about what works structurally.
Like most, I just accepted the narrative that the media presented, and there was no doubt that planes crashed into the twin towers, however I never looked into Building 7. Once I was introduced to the idea and looked into it, I have only one conclusion: Controlled Demolition. It just caught us all by surprise, and I bought into the hype.

I entered the school of Architecture at University San Francisco de Quito in Quito, Ecuador. I got my title and licence as an architect in 2008. I participated and international architectural workshop in Cartagena, Colombia form Universidad de los Andes. Have participated in several design competitions for school project and urban projects. Currently working at an architecture design studio and working on residential and urban projects.
There should be a real investigation into what happened to the three buildings that collapsed, with all the comparisons and information we have regarding how a building falls at free-fall speed with control demolition, I have no doubt that the september 11 day happenings where a planned catastrophe and was one of the biggest crimes in history, this should be held accountable to the people that orchestrated this crimes. There is to many things left unsaid, and facts, proofs, doubts on people all around the world on what really happened that day.

WTC 7 couldn't have fallen with a little fire... I heard some videos where people said pull it, and I think they did it for the 3 towers.

I've been a practicing Architect for 20 years and have designed numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings. More recently I've performed construction administration services for a new $120M high school campus including a $10M steel-framed gymnasium; managing construction documentation of a mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq. ft. of retail and 320,000 sq.ft. of high-rise office space - altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
The WTC Twin Towers and Building #7 appear to have been brought down, not by jet impacts and/or fires as we have been led to believe, but by controlled demolition with explosives. The evidence noted on AE911Truth.org and other excellent websites is prima facie and will, with the increasing public awareness and demand for the truth, result in a new truly independent investigation with subpoena power. A/E's must now become leaders for 9/11 Truth - Join Us!

I have known from day-one that the buildings were imploded and that they could not and would not have collapsed from the damage caused by the airplanes that ran into them.

I lived and worked in Milwaukee for 33 years. Housing and transportation were two of the issues I spent most of my time on. I now focus on the WAR - 9-11. I am an Alderman in Lake Geneva WI.
I was sure that no explosives were used in the towers. It was just not possible and held that view until Dr Stephen Jones published his paper.

It was the discovery of molten steel in the tub that made me realize there was something really wrong about the MSM coverage of the Towers. The discovery of intergranular melting has so far not been explained, officially. Building 7 collapse looks like a demolition to me, and if nothing else happens, this should be intensively re-investigated by an independent team of architects and engineers.
