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.

As a mechanical engineer, I have over 20 years experience specializing in structural design. I am particularly involved in the assessment of residual strength and ultimate collapse of damaged structures.
During 9/11/01, I was away on business in France, working with a partner company there. Not knowing French (I was escorted around work with translators), I could only understand the photographic TV accounts in my hotel room for the days that followed. Having previously seen many times the free fall nature of purposely demolished buildings, I instantly surmised that the terrorists had somehow accessed the buildings and planted charges to ensure that they would fall. What didn't make sense to me was, if the terrorists had gone to that kind of trouble to plant demolition charges in the building, why would they even bother flying a plane into the buildings? When I finally got back to the US, I was amazed that there was no talk or investigation of this possible cause of the buildings' collapse.

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.

Saw the towers come down on CNN in luderitz, Namibia on 9 Sept 2001 - as far away from that world as you could get. Bought into the bush conspiracy immediately and thought nothing more about it until I was looking for some images of the world trade centers towers in July 2007 and came across the vast amount of info on the net about the incidents and the alternate theories (some very wacky and out there) to what happened. Then I saw both Richards slide show and Steve e Jones power point on the net and found the facts presented did not added up to what had been presented as the truth at the time. When you step back and have over view , what Richard is asking for makes complete sense. The research presented by Richard is sound. Buildings do not collapse the way these three did by themselves.

I was Senior Project Design Engineer in charge of the design of the electrical systems for the WTC Complex in NY. Employed by the consulting and engineering firm, Joseph R. Loring & Associates, Inc., I was also a licensed Professional Engineer and was directly associated with ongoing projects at WTC for some 35 years before retiring in mid 1997. Though an electrical engineer by trade, I was also very familiar with the structures and their conceptual design parameters.
On September 11, I watched the live TV broadcast of the progressive collapse of the World Trade Towers with disbelief, as the mass and strength of the structure should have survived the localized damage caused by the planes and burning jet fuel. I viewed the presentation of Richard Gage and other related material, which compels me to believe that the fuel and planes alone did not bring the Towers down. I, therefore, support the proposal to form an international group of professionals to investigate all plausible causes for the virtual freefall and the almost total destruction of the WTC structures.

Your video by Richard Gage 9/11 Blueprint for Truth was the most technically convincing film I have yet seen that demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that the destruction of all three towers was brought about by controlled demolition. I am grateful that professional people take the time to research and put the information out to the public. I will do what I can to get other people to watch this video. May I suggest you investigate the planting of the Thermite in more detail? Mr. Gage state the elevators were serviced, which presumably meant closing each shaft one by one. Could you get an engineer to suggest, in another video, how this might have been achieved? Mr. Gage says there are very limited numbers of people who have the skills to do undertake such an operation. Could you research who these people are? Thank your very much for you efforts. Truthers are dependent on professionals to deliver reliable evidence. Steve Devas

I graduated at the universiry of Pisa in 2017 in medieval history and I am currently doing a PhD at the university of Bologna.
It is absurd to think that all three towers were torn down by fire. It is clear that a lot still needs to be brought to light, and all this is even worse if one thinks to all the innocent victims that occured on 9/11. People should be aware of what happened on 9/11. The reasons why all this happened must be explained to the public, and this investigation is the greatest step towards such truth being brought to light.

I am convinced that the official interpretation of the events of 9/11 cannot be true due to physical reasons. The free fall of WTC 7 alone (but the other towers, too) is a contradiction to universal laws of physics, especially Newton's 3rd law of motion (action = reaction) and the law of conservation of momentum.

I am waiting to learn that the US government, in order to bolster its constricted pancake theory of collapse, has done studies of other demolished buildings around the world. It seems that if a building can be forced to collapse on it own footprint merely by burning jet fuel in a top story, that must be much cheaper than hiring an expert company to mine the floors in succession. Why would this theory not demand it be proven in practice, by practicing on buildings that are destined to be collapsed anyway? Yet I have never heard of the US government performing any such experiment. This seems like strong evidence that the US government knows that its pancake theory is absurd and impossible.

I watched on TV in UK. I saw BBC female reporter twice say building seven had come down. The report was the same but hours apart, in the 2nd one building 7 came down behind her at the end of the report. At this point my previous suspicions were confirmed and I was out in the street screaming ''bast@rds!!!''

I was a General Contractor for over 20 Years. There is no way these buildings fell the way the report says they did. The facts don't add up. We need an investigation into the whole matter. There is just no way a rookie pilot could have flown an airliner into the Pentagon the way the government says it happened. Rookie pilots flying into the Twin Towers is pretty sketchy at best. First, How did they fly from Boston and find the towers? How did we not protect this airspace.

At the U.N. I was trained as a Peer Counselor, by the U.N. Staff Counselor's Office. Part of my training included Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. I worked 35 years as a Maintenance Mechanic specializing on 'Hardware' for all aspects of doors. I installed & maintained door checks, floor checks, panic devices, latch sets, maintained revolving doors. I worked very closely with our U.N. Fire Unit to insure all emc fire exit doors were operating properly. My education was high school, some college, then I went to work at the U.N. Although my primary job description was structural worker, whenever additional training in peer counseling was made available by the U.N. I took advantage of this additional training.
I was at work that day, I was considered 'essential services'. I helped evacuate the staff from the U.N. complex then I was required to stay overnight at the U. N. From that day, I knew something was wrong, a beautiful clear blue sky day, then this happened. When the wind came up from the South, the smell from the 'pit' was like when a tractor trailed brakes slipped/ locked or jumped, an asbestos burning stench. Then a couple of days after the 'official sources' told everyone the air quality was fine and it was safe to go back to work.

I was watching it live on TV telling my son not to fret because our guys would come to help, we watched the whole time he was a boy of 11 scared and believing our military surely would come after hours no one came to save the day. That is when I told my children something is up. I waited for the official statement the man said what he said and left without answering questions. I am furious. My father was a retired welder from NASA and he was screaming at the TV that the whole show was bullshit, I asked why? He said I know it was blasted, he said iron cannot burn without oxygen, I did not understand, he said for it to act like that oxygen had to be on the spot where it presumably melted he screamed at the whole story till he passed away.

From my past experiences in laboratory research, structural steel analysis of tensile strength specimens in the Material Science and Civil Engineering Departments during my university tenure, and witnessing the faux collapse of building 7, I totally believe that Building7 was the victim of a controlled demolition team orchestrated by Deep State Insiders (Actors), the Mossad, and elements of our own government, to create a facade of a fake demise of Building # 7, as well as both Twin Tower #1 and Twin Tower # 2 and/or any other associated buildings in their immediate conglomeration for several reasons: the most obvious being the prohibitively expensive removal of asbestos in the aforementioned buildings, and the ruse of the narrative to start a campaign of war with Iraq under complete false pretenses.

The report put forward by the 9/11 commission contradicts the evidence that I have seen. I have seen witness testimony from police and fire fighters of 'explosions' inside the trade center which blew out windows on the first floor. Jet fuel burns at 800 degrees and steel melts at 1500 degrees. How did a fire burning at 800 degrees melt solid steel with a much higher melting point? I have heard actual recordings of military personnel indicating there were ' exercises' going on which confused the situation and the government has not answered my questions adequately. It appeared to be a cover up. The steel from the buildings was immediately loaded onto boats bound for China. When a plane crashes the scene normally last much longer. A proper investigation was NOT conducted and the American people deserve answers from an independent, non-government audit conducted by a company with no government contracts.
