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 absolutely convinced by the scientific facts and methodology presented by the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth that the Twin Towers together with the Building 7 collapsed not as a result of the impact of the hijacked airplanes and the consequent fire, but as a result of a controlled demolition with the use of explosives already planted inside the buildings. Consequently, serious questions need to be asked and demand answers.

Occupation: Sr./General Bldg. Mgr.
As a 17-year veteran in the commercial real estate industry, specifically Sr./General Manager for office high-rise buildings, I have always been passionate about the properties that I represent and as such, I work closely on a day to day basis with all those who make it possible to [collectively] run a tight ship. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to work in the trenches with my team, rather than hide in the office behind reports computer. To be able to actively & extensively work within the various fields that are inherent to the development and operation of office buildings (i.e. engineering, general construction, development /re-development, architecture, fire-life-safety, security, local city & state agencies fire, and police agencies -- just to name a few), is to understand the entire operation on both a micro and a macro level. Much like horse & rider, an intimate relationship emerges between Manager & Building.
On September 10th, 2001, I resigned from my position with a prominent Real Estate firm in the Los Angeles area. The next morning I was devastated to see the events unfolding in New York. It took two months for me to secure a new position in management. The industry was at a standstill; fear had taken over and hesitation plagued building owners. I returned to work and there began my discussions with my fellow colleagues in the industry. As time went on, my questions began to increase -- maybe it was intuition at that point, but something inside said this didn't make sense. My driving concern was two fold: 1) our country appeared to be under attack; 2) the method of attack involved office buildings. I have always personified office buildings -- the people give it life (the tenants, the building staff, the visitors, etc.). It has always been my work ethic to [before all else] ensure a safe environment for everyone's sake. The building becomes your home, and the people in it become your family. The staff become sisters, brothers, children, aunts, uncles. You work hard, together, and support each other. When I heard how many people lost their lives that day including a large number of building personnel (i.e. janitorial), I became overwhelmed and nearly obsessed with NEEDING TO UNDERSTAND... I asked myself and my colleagues how such an event could have happened, and why the absence of procedural emergency evacuation. I have evacuated my buildings on minor level threats -- maybe that was excessive on my part but my ethic has always been safety first. I assure you that, if at any time in my career there happened to be an airplane occupying any part of a building i was responsible for, evacuation would be the first order. I do not care if it's inconvenient for tenants - my attitude: board meetings can wait -- SAFETY FIRST. The more me and my colleagues (which consisted of other managers, VPs, Chief engineers, project managers, security personnel, developers, architects, GCs, demo-crews, FLS installers, members of LAPD & LAFD, and the list goes on.....) reviewed the plethora of footage of the actual collapse the more we concluded something was wrong with the picture. That was when my I became 100% obsessed with my research. I focused on the structural design aspect of the towers, and that led me to believe that complete pancaking was likely a direct result of controlled demolition, not jet fuel. I have raised the question of the [reportedly] unusual building operations in the weeks leading up to 9/11 - for example the timing of Reg. 4 emergency evacuation drill, incomplete contractor /vendor signature logs during the elevator mod project -- a front project to allow hoist-way access to controlled demolition crew(s). Truth and Understanding, I hope, will come to us by legal process. Thank you for this.

High-speed, high-momentum horizontal ejections are not consistent with vertical gravitational collapses. Pulverized concrete and shredded steel are not consistent with gravitational collapses. And so on. We should begin our personal examination of 9/11 by renewing our confidence in our own common sense and experience with reality, and then we should calmly and bravely look at, and acquiesce to, overwhelming scientific evidence. That sort of sound and flexible-mindedness is one of the many things that make our civilization noble.

Three decades of professional civil engineering experience. Work included utility design and design of structures.
I concur with the Chief Editor of Fire Protection Engineering, who cited the 9/11 Report as a half-baked farce. The report is worse than a farce; it is criminal in its negligence to investigate the truth. Steel buildings do NOT fail in the manners we witnessed, except for those demolished by controlled demolition.Until this matter is properly investigated, the truth revealed, and the perpetrators punished, America will NOT be a free country.

People who accept the official conspiracy theory can argue that the twin towers had significant structural damage due to the impact of the aircraft, however no such significant damage was sustained by building #7. The controlled demolition of building #7 is the undeniable evidence that the attacks of September 11 2001 were the result of an inside job. The video record clearly shows the very top portion of building # 7 cave in despite the fact that the small fires many attribute as the cause of the collapse were many many floors below.

I graduated from Walla Walla University in 2007 with a B.S. in Engineering, civil/structural concentration. I earned my EIT in 2006.

I am now in my junior year of medical school at Loma Linda University. I have been training for 9 years collectively in the principles of physics, engineering, structures, and evidence-based investigations.
Being that 9/11 is one of the most formative events of our lifetimes (socially, legally, geopolitically, etc.), it seems imperative that the truth of the events be known. The official story has entirely too many holes, inaccuracies, and contradictions, making the need to reevaluate it self-evident. The evidence on this website, and collected in many other locations across the globe, bears the mark of truth and deserves public recognition.

Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means. The American public needs to be informed. We have been caught up in a massive disinformation campaign and are suffering from an identity crisis. We can no longer remain deaf, dumb and blind to this.

This affected not only Americans but the whole world. We have government agencies that are supposed to protect our nation. In all actuality you the Government of the USA failed in your jobs and may have even committed treason and mass murder. How is that upholding our constitution? How is that working for the citizens who pay your checks. We demand answers that are factual and can be backed up with data. That administration has done more to delegitimize our constitution than any before it. I don't think you people understand what your jobs are/were and why you have/had them. Is there not one honest God fearing person that had a hand in the destruction of so many lives that will step forward? Bush Sr started the destruction of the USA government and from there on it has been nothing but lies and propaganda from Elected officials who have belittled and ruined good honest citizens lives. It's time for our elected officials to do their jobs. That would be to listen to what We The People demand of you. You thought to traumatize and weaken us when what you really did was make us stronger and more perceptive to the corruption that has taken place. Stop being lackeys and cowards. Be a true American and do what's right. Investigate and prosecute those who attacked and killed your fellow Americans for nothing more than money and oil.

That fateful morning I wasn’t aware of the happenings in NYC until I walked into a neighborhood mom & pop convenience store and stepped up to the counter with my purchase. Carla, one of the owners was staring intently at her small TV there behind the counter seemingly oblivious that I was even there. It was at that moment when she said “don’t you know what’s going on” as I gained her attention to make the purchase. “What’s going on” was just response…She quickly informed me that a plane had just flown into one of the World Trade Center buildings and it was all over the news. Not one to watch TV much I hadn’t a clue it had happened, and as we both watched just moments later on live TV, another plane came into view and struck the other building. That was one of those moments a person never forgets where you were when…I intently watched with others as the store slowly filled. I’ll never forget my first words as we watched the first building drop. And they were…”OH MY GOD! That was controlled demolition, that was controlled demolition. It dropped straight down in its foot print. That was controlled demolition.” To this day I stand by those words. I had seen too many videos of the same to think otherwise. It was glaringly obvious as we continued to watch and the second fell. I left for home after that and my mind was made up as I watch sometime later building #7 drop in its footprint that this was all orchestrated and there were without doubt people in our government that had to know it was going to happen. Life changed from that moment. The trust was gone and never more.Everything I’ve learned since just strengthens my belief. Like the buildings being constructed to withstand multiple airliner strikes without toppling, and the fact #7 wasn’t even struck and had just a couple minor fires seals it. Anyone that believes the nonsensical “official story” with all the mountains of evidence showing otherwise is simply avoiding the horrid truth. It’s hard to fathom…but truth is truth and it must be sought out and exposed or all we had as a Nation is no more. America is the nothing more than “big lie” until the day comes when the facts are known and the full truth exposed with the operatives, planners and players all brought to Justice.In closing…my one lingering thought in all this is the fact that there’s only a well know and select group of companies or individuals with the expertise to wire those buildings as they were. Months leading up to 911 floors had been systematically vacated for “upgrades and renovation” and that is of course when they wired it. That was a question by many in my discussions on the matter…”how and when did they wire it”? They became believers at my response. That said, a good investigator could easily find the whereabouts which companies and or individuals capable of wiring these building and through a simple process of elimination narrow the list down to a handful. Bring them in and sweat the info from them under intense interrogation. The truth is out there. Those that have it aren’t going to freely give it up. It must be sought out. We have an obligation as knowing citizens to continue to seek out those that mass murdered thousands for political purposes and money. The world demands it. We can’t go back to normal until all has been exposed and each and every person behind it, no matter their roll brought to Justice.

I have no special expertise regarding the WTC destruction, but I have read many articles written by architects, engineers, firemen, intelligence experts, and others who do have expertise in the various details surrounding that event. Over many years, I have also developed a high index of suspicion toward most everything coming from the US Govt propaganda machine.
