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 just found it really messed up how the second building that got hit was the first one to come down. I mean i can understand if the building tipped over or it broke down in several large segments but that kind of destruction down to fine pieces was hard to imagine once i took my classes about the strength of steel and its properties, its just not natural.

Graduated from UCLA with a general engineering degree (Dean Boelter's philosophy was that engineers be full spectrum educated in all disciplines of engineering...electrical, chemical, structural, etc) My courses have included strength of materials including lab measurements and experiments. I have over the years been involved in building many structures and thus have an educated common sense knowledge.
On 9/11/01 my first view of the event was via internet but because I was preoccupied... I just didn't pay attention. Some time in 2008 I discovered Youtube and began watching the various videos...especially the many slow-motion views. At some point my educated and experienced brain started to focus on what I was observing and hearing. Many things became problematic...fire department reports of estimate to extinguish two hours...reports of a series of explosions etc. My common sense told me that asymmetrical heating of the columns should have caused the upper portion of the impact to fall to one side...alongside the standing portion. Factor in the classical controlled demolition similarity, the fine grade cement break-up, no standing columns, free-fall speed through a path of maximum resistance, the laws of physics defied, conservation of momentum etc. the first steel frame buildings collapse in history in one day...not one but three...it's just too much...something is rotten.

Technical by nature, my strengths have always been documentation and detailing of buildings.
There are too many inconsistencies with the official story, and the steel from the buildings has been destroyed(!). Someone must be accountable for this willful destruction of evidence in the murder of so many people.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

When witnessing the towers collapse on September 11, I thought they looked like a controlled demolition at the time. Like most people, I went on to trust the official experts and their explanations. Now after my own research and seeing Building 7 fall I can trust my initial gut feeling - this is a controlled demolition not a building collapse. The work of Richard Gage and Professor Steven Jones and others has provided scientific evidence to warrant a new, independent investigation into these building collapses and the events of the day.

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!

The evidence is simply overwhelming and conclusive that the three buildings were destroyed by various forms of advanced explosives. One MUST reconcile physical laws with what we observed on 9/11. The predominant barriers to understanding and accepting the truth are psychological, aided by the corrupt nature of the media in service of private power.

On 9/11/2001, I was employed at the U.S. Dept. of HUD in Washington, DC, working in the Consumer Compliance Division of the Office of RESPA and Interstate Land Sales as a consumer fraud investigator. I was in my office, about a mile from the Pentagon when it was hit. My prior work was as a litigation paralegal, and in Alaska I had worked for the law firm of Robertson, Monagle, Eastaugh and Bradley (in the 1980's) doing products liability defense litigation, and specialized in air crash investigations. I held a commercial pilot's certificate with SEL, MEL, and IFR ratings. I also had an Associates' degree in accounting. While in the U.S. Army (1972-1974) I was trained in demolitions. I enlisted in the Special Forces Combat Engineers (airborne) and worked with explosives, including dynamite, C4, det cord, and various other explosive devices. I obtained an early, honorable release from service due to serious family crisis at that time.
Watching the televised footage of the collapse of the towers, it was obvious to me from the start that I was seeing a controlled demolition, and not the collapse of a structure from the single impact of an aircraft. I know JP-1 doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel and even if it did, many many less well engineered buildings remain standing even after multiple rounds of impacts from weapons that are actually designed for the specific purpose of demolishing structures (e.g. howitzers), so the idea that a modern steel structure could so easily collapse from a single non-explosive impact is simply ludicrous to me. As for the Pentagon, even though I drove past it daily, I never saw any aircraft wreckage, even though I saw the hole in the building. Ordinarily, if an aircraft strikes a building (or any solid structure), parts of it come off, and land somewhere else ... there will be a debris trail.

I am a US citizen that believes we have been lied to. What happened at the WTC wasn't solely by a plane. I know without a doubt it wasn't a plane that hit the Pentagon- my husband was working on the bridge at the Pentagon. He and his coworkers say they know without a doubt it was not a plane that hit the Pentagon.
The citizens of the United States and the world have been lied to by the US government. The victims deserve justice. Their families deserve the truth.

It is apparent that there was an international conspiracy to destroy the WTC buildings, remove evidence of criminal malfeasance located in the Pentagon and Building 7, and that both foreign and domestic agents and governments were involved.. These perpetrators remain free from prosecution, have financially and politically benefited and are committing other crimes. Justice has not been served and the blood of millions of innocents charge you for redress; Do your duty.

Once you spend more than 5 seconds doing an objective research on the events of 9/11, you realize that we have been duped and the official narrative is a tall tale. It is quite obvious that the WTC Towers (the three that collapsed) were brought down by explosives. This is indisputable. This raises many relevant questions related to this, the Pentagon, United 93, and most importantly, why did all those innocent people die?

I lost one brother to cancer, with my other brother's life irrevocably altered by the same cancer. I believe that their cancer etiology can be traced back to corporate capture. For anyone who is here because they've been following the science about 9/11, please know that this web of deception and obfuscation extends to research on nutrition, on climate, on economics, on agriculture, and to both communicable and non-communicable disease. Kary Mullis received the Nobel prize in chemistry for his invention of PCR, used still for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. He said 'those people - who are always having to come up with the imminent disasters that can be prevented by governmental projects, sponsored by informed and well-meaning politicians - are manipulating you. They are parasites with degrees in economics or sociology who couldn't get a good job in the legitimate advertising industry. They are responsible for a lot of the things that you accept year after year as your problems... Who pays these experts?...You are too tired from your day at work to try to figure it out...But the sun never sets on the British Empire or bureaucrats - environmentalists, as many of them are called today. Sleep soundly. Your planet is in well-fed hands' - (Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, p.109). Roger Pielke Jr. and Justin Ritchie wrote a great piece on the climate scenarios recently. By 1976, 81% of Americans believed in the 'conspiracy' of more than one shooter during JFK's assassination. Now: 'In 2021, agencies and the Executive Branch are still classifying tens of thousands assassination records: almost 58 years after the Kennedy Assassination. Even worse, we do not have a valid explanation from the Executive Branch as required by the JFK Act. It's only gotten more difficult since JFK's time to speak out about something that officials have labeled 'conspiracy', despite the presence of legitimate evidence with legitimate experts. How difficult, then, will it be for our children and grandchildren? Where the research leads we must follow, for the sake of future generations. Where experts have invested time and energy; risked good names and professions to bring theories forward, we are obliged to look. When we can hold the powerful accountable, we must act.

Served over 24 years in the United States Army, 13 years enlisted and 11 1/2 as a Warrant Officer and during my tenure, I attended multiple number of Colleges and Universities. Due to the nature of my job I was required to move every 3 to 5 years and that was the reason why I never was able to attend the same school. Schools I attended in order; Walla Walla Community College (26 Cr), University of Maryland (Europe) (35 Cr), Air Force Community College (18 Cr), Hagerstown Comm Coll (21 Cr), University of Phoenix (16 Cr), and Western Governors University (45 Cr).
Serving as Soldier in the US Armed Forces, I initially believed the narrative given to us by our government and the main stream media. I was sent to Iraq multiple times due to these attacks. When did I start to question 9/11? It wasn't until after I retired from the Army. Various sources were sending me information about 9/11 and after analyzing this information I started formalizing my own opinion. What finally convinced me was the cell phone calls placed on those airlines and soon after that learning the collapse of Bldg 7. In 2008, I was deployed to Iraq and during my deployment I was given technology to test and use in the battlefield. The equipment I was testing was Cellular and satellite technology in a battlefield. I wasn't able to to test this technology while moving in the battlefield successfully. It was only when I was able to stop the vehicle that I was able to use it with limited success and in 2001, we were lead to believe that various amount of victims were able to place phone calls using cell phones with speeds over 500 mph. Then the powers to be tried changing the narrative of how some of the calls were placed, and to me I could only see lies starting to mount. The lies about building 7 only scratches the surface of all the other lies we were given by a government that we are suppose to trust and in my case almost died for. I thank everyone on this team for all their hard work and for their continue dedication to make this truth to be known.

The continued refusal to investigate the eye-witness accounts of evidence of explosions and explosive residue in the collapse of Building 7 in particular is criminal. Other events in the past such as the Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbour, could have been crimes of omission or manipulation of enemy activity to engineer a war. This is different. This was a direct attack on the American People by the US government either directly or with its full collusion. I can see what happens next. Layer upon layer of denial. Terrorists planted the explosive, Silverstein is a crook acting independently, foreign agents gone rogue, right wing extremists, etc, etc. But it is clear Bush knew and stood on the bodies of Americans the day after blaming Al Quaida for his crimes. I am a foreigner but an attack of this kind is an attack on humanity. We are all responsible for this. We have all allowed these criminals to get away with wholesale murder and successive governments to assist in the cover up. America needs to take back control and eject this evil cabal.

Having been a career soldier with several deployments prior to 9/11, I deployed to Egypt in 2002 and Iraq in 2004. For 14 years I was a naive 'sheeple' regarding 9/11, believing the official version like most people. In late 2015, I happened upon a documentary entitled, 'Anatomy of a Great Deception' on YouTube. Within 15 minutes of watching, I knew something was up and needed to be further investigated. My conclusions based on visual evidence and a true interpretation of historic events are that the buildings did not come down via jet fuel as we were told, but due to controlled demolition. For a job this size, it would take months to set the charges, therefore it could not have been done by Arabs.
The evil forces behind the assassination of JFK were also behind the murder of nearly 3000 of my fellow Americans, needless destruction and loss of life abroad, and the destruction of our Creator-endowed liberties which are acknowledged and guaranteed under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I suffered a broken elbow in Iraq but I lost several friends over there, needlessly.

I don't believe we know why the Towers collapsed (at least officially). Both Towers suffered asymmetrical damage, yet they collapsed symmetrically. Further, their collapse was partially due to fire, yet NIST cannot find evidence of a fire hot enough to be the cause. Some have suggested explosives and, while that does seem to explain the collapse, I haven't come up with a way for those explosives to get in place. I'm still looking for answers.

Full time student and military veteran who joined the service on quite a peculiar day. The day 'before' 9/11.
There are a few events that occurred on 9/11 that to this day do not settle well with me as being the complete and official narrative of what transpired that day. The destruction of the WTC 7 building is one of those that sits at the top of being the most unsettling. I am not an engineer and nor am I in a position to give evidence for an educated theory on what could have caused WTC 7 to fall with such precision, at free fall speed, symmetrically into its own footprint. My intuition tells me that historically a steel framed building has never unintentionally fell in a domino collapse due to a few fires, as the official story is now. This intuition combined with the doubt and willingness of those educated and conversant enough to challenge the official story is what awakens my eagerness and hopes of finally finding out 'some' truth of what really happened that day.

It seems to me, September 9, 2001 became a seminal moment in my existence, everything I had learned in my high-school physics (Newton's Laws on Thermodynamics) flew out the window that day, replaced by an implausible gov. narrative, spread and amplified by the MEDIA talking heads. The government's narrative on the occurring events is an insult to our intelligence. The truth shall prevail.

The public deserves the right to know the full truth of the destruction that occurred at the World Trade Center on 9/11, as these events sparked the U.S. government to engage in several military campaigns, that are still ongoing in the Middle East, over the last 18 years. These campaigns have cost the public trillions of dollars in debt to be repaid, plus interest, to private banking interests; the lives of thousands of U.S. service members, the loss of life of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of civilians, the sowing of chaos and disorder in once stable countries, and the overall reduction of U.S. power and stature in the world. It is vital that it be known whether these actions taken by the U.S. government was based on truth or lies, so that proper recourse can be taken to include the prosecution of high level government officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
