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.

Born in the U.S., watched the twin towers being built floor-by-floor as I drove across the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey to school in New York every day. Moved to Canada in 1973, back and forth but finally settled in Toronto Ontario. The day the twin towers came down I had started the first day of my Master of Urban Design degree at the University of Toronto; watched on TV as the world came to a stand-still.
First clued in to the bigger mystery of 9/11 in around 2006, when I became aware of the question of how WTC 7 could possibly have collapsed from fire alone. I write about my growing awareness..

My studies as an undergraduate were highly geared towards a career in structural engineering. Eventually, chose to pursue a M.Architecture, but was fortunate enough to be able to take many graduate courses on structural design in the Columbia University School of Engineering, as the core requirements for the M.Arch I were covered.
It's a hard pill to swallow. Honest, truth seeking people cannot avoid thinking of the horrendous consequences that necessarily accompany facing the facts of a controlled demolition. For years, like many, I ignored the evidence, not because it wasn't obvious. It is obvious only once you focus on the facts. It was because I, like so many millions, took the official story for granted, without question. The evidence is overwhelming for anybody who cares to face the horrible truth.

I graduated architecture school two years ago, and started my own practice 4 months before graduating. I follow my instinct on everything, and August 13th, 1999 changed my life forever!
After I saw the second building fall, I instinctively wanted to know where George W. Bush was and I wanted to see his face. I didn't buy the Oklahoma bombing under Clinton or the first World Trade Center bombings, and I wasn't buying this either. I felt that Bush's face and his reaction would be very telling; I was right! He was overly nonchalant, after being told, and went on to say that he saw the first plane hit while he was waiting in his limo; that footage hadn't even aired yet, to the public. And when i saw that he was told at an elementary school setting, about the plane hitting the World Trade Center, it made me suspicious. It felt like an overly innocent setting. It wouldn't be until I found out that George W. Bush, Laura Bush and General Tommy Franks went to elementary school together; that the elementary school setting felt like a creepy homage. And when I saw a video-tape of a former CIA agent, turned whistleblower, that spoke at Portland State University 1-1/2 months after 9-11, there was no turning back, in my mind, that it was an inside job. He started out by saying that while the planes may have been remotely controlled, he wasn't going to talk about that. He was going to stick to what he could prove as fact; his presentation was convincing, even without demonstrating that the planes were remotely controlled. I got cable earlier this year, and started seeing exceptional documentaries, which showed 9-11 for what it was. Now, I don't doubt that those planes were remotely controlled. Especially after hearing from those like William Rodriguez, who heard explosions in the basement floors 7 seconds before the first plane hit. 7 seconds! That's exceptional timing. And to know that citizens who saw the planes before they hit, say that they didn't recognize the planes as passenger planes, but rather, as windowless commercial-type planes. I'm so happy that architects and engineers are finally speaking out!

Professional experience has been in the Manufacturing realm. Also in Quality Engineering. I have been studying the 9/11 attacks closely for the past year and a half after first hearing credible evidence that they were contradictory to the official report.
I do not believe the official explanation of the collapse of not only the towers, but especially the collapse of building 7. The recent NIST report claims that the building collapsed as a result of fire induced thermal expansion. The completely uniform failure of the building (causing it to drop straight down at freefall speed) is completely contradictory to the computer generated model they provided as evidence. The simulation showed one section of the building collapsing and then the remainder. Video evidence of building 7 proves this was not how it fell. Knowing a good bit about physics, I don't believe building 7 could have come down as the result of anything other than controlled demolition.

I graduated in 1998 as a civil engineer, specializing in structures, roads and railroads in the ISPAJE, Havana City, Cuba. I first worked in Cayo Largo del Sur, a tourist island in southwestern Cuba, in the construction of two hotels: Sol Club Cayo Largo and Barcelo Cayo Largo. In 2006 I started working in Jamaica on the construction of 3 hotels: Iberostar, Palladium and Secret. I am currently building and remodeling apartments and houses in the area of Montego Bay.
When I saw the collapse of the buildings on television in Cuba, I remembered what my professor of Resistance of Materials said: the laws of physics can never be violated. When I watched the program on the Discovery Channel about the collapse of the towers I thought one of two possibilities existed: either it was a fault in the design of the building or it was a controlled demolition. The last explains everything without violating the laws of physics.

Shocked by the first images at the time, and like so many, believed in the official story about hijackers and planes. As time went on (the event never let me go), my gut feeling kept me going back and back to the 9/11 story, simply because there was something off about the whole event and the ensuing wars. Something didn't fit. Until I found Richard Gage's findings on the official story. The pieces started falling into place, and I was again deeply shocked. It is only too clear now that buildings do not come down because of office fire, certainly not steel frame high risers. After much searching, listening, figuring out what some people say, what others say not, .... I can fairly state that I see the why's and the who's in the whole story. A new and independent investigation - in fact, a scientific and a criminal investigation are required. I look forward to both.Sincerely, Kris Saenen

All most instantly after 9/11 but before I knew what I was looking @ in regards to the clean up of the cut steal structure of the fallen towers. I had noticed that the slag on the cut beams was rather heavy and not characteristic of an Oxy-Acetylene or Oxy-Mapp Gas cutting torch. This was the first hint that something was not Right

One of the many things i did before retiring was build pole signs. I therefore understand metal construction that must be able to sway from high winds. I also understand the heat required to distort or melt steel.
I have never believed the official story as aviation jet fuel under ideal conditions does not burn near, within 1000 degrees, hot enough to melt steel. The core beams were too thick and asbestos wrapped so could never have gotten hot enough. What was burning five weeks later at 1700 degrees?

Botany College major. I've currently dropped out of college to begin apprenticing a bicycle frame builder. I'm learning to weld and am learning about the behavior of steel and aluminum. This has not really been a contributing factor to my belief that the towers were brought down by demolition, but it makes the behavior of the steel in that scenario even more apparent to me.
There is no doubt in my mind that 9/11 was a false flag operation perpetrated by one of the most diabolically corrupt governments of the modern era.

I have been a certified welder for years, working on several heavy structural constructions. I am an American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector (actually having received my Cert. ON 09/11/'01), and although not the most experienced, of course, it is evident to me that the truth of what happened on 9/11/'01 has yet to be acknowledged by the U.S. Gov.
As an experienced welder and welding inspector, it is obvious to me that there has been a massive deception on the part of the U.S. Gov. in relation to the events of 9/11/'01 and how those events were brought about. I have read David R. Griffin's books and viewed videos put out by the group AE911Truth, and I believe the sooner our government will accept truthful research into these events, the sooner justice can be served, because eventually, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT.

I have worked with metal and am sure that kerosene (similar to jet fuel) will not make steel melt or explode. I spent my whole childhood preparing to join the military and become a General. When I was 17 the hippies got a hold of me and I came up with the Peace Army four years later. I am Waging Peace @ War's Pace and think 9/11 truth is the most in-your-face display of the ruling class's morals. 9/11 changed the world; 9/11 truth will change it again.
I spent 2 weeks asking myself, 'Did those buildings REALLY collapse?' When I finally woke up, I realized my disbelief was well-founded, even though I couldn't put it all together. I woke up in '05 and spent many hours looking at videos to be SURE that 9/11 was an inside job. I AM SURE; MY LIFE IS CHANGED. NOW, TO WAKE UP MORE PEOPLE!!!

I have been a supporter of many different organizations for the truth about 9/11. Anywhere from so called conspiracy websites to the Zeitgeist movies and now here at ae911truth.org. I feel that this is one of the best places to break down all the evidence and explain it to those watching. I have had many problems trying to spread the word on the strangeness of the events on 9/11/01 due to confusion and general lack of intellectual ability. However, this is a great place for me to refer people to visit in order to better understand the flaws in the official statements by our government concerning 9/11.

I was born on January 15, 1978 in Sioux Falls SD. I share a birthday with the late great Martin Luther King JR and I like to think that some of his cosmic bravado has rubbed off on me but I digress ... I lived in Sturgis SD, home of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for the first fourteen years of my life where I became(thanks to biker gangs from all over the world) worldly and independent. I spent the last sixteen years of my life back here in Sioux Falls where I started my own pawn shop at age eighteen ... just for the fun of it really ... I thought ... while at the same time keeping my 60 hr a week full time job as a sales manager for a local furniture and carpet store ... I bought a duplex when i was twenty and tried my luck at being a landlord/income property owner as well as a pawn broker/sales manager ... I did quite well ... Owning my own property introduced me to the fine points of building maintenance and then after a couple of years I progressed to the finer points of home building ... until 9/11/2001 at that point I was doing a stint in Wyoming to pay off some personal loans as a welder/mechanic/cowhand on a cattle ranch five miles wide and ten miles long right in the middle of Cheney territory ... Upon my return to Sioux Falls SD after paying off my debt I disbanded my Pawn shop as my lease was up ... I dropped my income property and became a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor where I became an effective leader of men ... until the Iraq war started ... at that point I immediately stopped paying taxes and let my license, my business ... and my life ... laps into eternal poordom(seemingly) so that I wouldn't have to go to prison for tax evasion ... because I would rather die of being poor then contribute ANYTHING to Bush's form of government ... or go to prison for that matter ... So ... Since I'm now too broke to contribute money to ANY causes my intellect is all I have left to give ...
To me personally ... the title 9/11 debunker DOES NOT EXIST ... because debunking WTC demolition is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE .... Period!!! Several million tons of high grade welded and bolted 4 inch thick steel box framing does NOT disappear because of a low grade office fire a hundred floors up ... Towers one and two were each effectively three different buildings stacked on top of one another ... Fires at the top would have absolutely NO EFFECT on the under infrastructure which would have to be REMOVED in order for the entire building to disintegrate in mid air into it's own basement like it did ... to the staunch 9/11 debunker I say PROVE IT ... PHYSICALLY SHOW ME with something other then your NIST report and attached simulation ... because if you base your entire debunking career on a simple computer simulation alone(with unverified parameters) ... well let's just say that you might as well tell people without a shadow of a doubt in your mind that the Super Mario Brothers and King Koopa are physically real and fighting each other in down town New York to ... for the first time ever in recorded history of course.

I have been a welder for over twelve years in which i have built buildings, bridges which both contain A36, A572and A588 steel. In the last six years i have welded on numerous pipelines, plants and refineries in my area. I know what it takes to weld, cut and distort steel of such size as the beams that the WTC were constructed with. I too have been awakened by the efforts of the dvds this petition is involved with. Lets take America back!!!!!
I don't believe for one minute now that those massive buildings were brought down by an aluminum built 767 no matter if the whole cabin were full of fuel. This is obviously a fabricated story to cover up much more than we thought. Until just last week i just accepted the facts that the government had dealt us. Now I'm filled with anger much worse than the day of the so called attacks!!! We should not rest until the truth has been admitted! The people who lost their lives shall be avenged! This makes me wonder whats in store for us in the future.

There's no doubt in my mind that 911 was an inside job. No steel constructed building has ever collapsed from fire, even after 10, 14, 17, and 19, hours of burning! These buildings collapsed perfectly. Dr. Steven Jones found traces of thermite from samples taken from the building site. The windows on both sides of the hole in the Pentagon were still intact where the wings should of hit. All the news media had the same questions when reporting live that day, questions about the lack of debris, questions about the sound of bombs, and explosions, but the next day none of those questions were asked or ever brought up again by these mainstream media sources.

My instructor (a great welder teacher and friend) Jack Mills taught me everything I know. I'm not certified yet but will be soon. I learned a lot about metal even gained a welders love for it. So I know when I say it starts to melt at 2500f no less, and its not even liquid at that point just structurally weak. An open flame fire being fueled by jet fuel(high octane) can only peak at about 1200f....???? there's to many blanks.
Not enough people know use these peoples techniques against them create a state of awe in the media make sure people are listening...that is the first step then we can pursue those responsible!

Welder and metal worker. Builder and innovator. Very familiar with the properties of steel due to experience in welding.
The natural upward-force resistance of the buildings, opposing the downward fall from the top, [especially in light that the buildings increased their strength very substantially each floor (from the top down) by the thickening of the central core columns], leaves no other possible conclusion than that an exorbitantly high volume of intelligently directed and provided energy was necessary to accomplish these unnatural, symmetric, plowing through of themselves at nearly freefall speed.

I am a welder/metal fabricator and have a pretty good understanding of how metals work.
Metal-framed structures do not fail due to fire unless that fire is oxy-acetylene fueled. Jet fuel is extremely flammable but nowhere near acetylene. Not to mention most of the fuel looked like it exploded on impact. Also, 10-ton steel beams were thrown several hundred feet from the building, and molten steel (which is on video to see) flowed from the windows... nothing about the official report makes any sense.

There must be a more thorough examination of the events that took place on September 11th, 2001. The fact the the official book published by The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States does not contain a single word regarding the collapse of WTC 7 in particular; as well as, many conflicting eyewitness testimonies and a list of unexplained evidence which is in stark contrast to the official explanation, simply warrants another look. It, the obvious planned attack, has not been satisfactorily explained to the many persons who have suffered due to the lack of a complete investigation. Until this honest investigation occurs, the negative impact of this event shall haunt the many persons who clearly see the open ended questions that linger and wreak havoc on the psychology of civilized society.

I am a student and learned how to weld when I was very young. I am not an expert, and I do not have a license. I do have logic and reason, which is enough to want to ask questions about events that seem strange.
I see the steel beams bent into horseshoe shapes, but the beam was not broken or even cracked. When welding, it takes a lot of heat to bend steel, and even then, I still manage to break the metal and make mistakes. I do not have the technology to bend giant steel beams. I live in the US where many chemicals can be made available to me through online purchases to heat any metals that need to be bent, but where would I find that in a cave in Afghanistan?

I am a 24 year old God fearing gun loving American. I'm currently going to school for welding.
9-11 was obviously an inside job and the real terrorists need to be brought to justice!

Prior to disability, I was an industrial construction welder/fitter. I worked primarily in the south on power plants, steel mills and paper mills along with some other projects and in one fabrication shop. I was Xray and bridge certified. I worked in this field until 2005 when hurricane Katrina took all my tools and forever changed my life.
I have experience in rigging and demolition. I've long had a fascination with imploded buildings and have been a sponge for knowledge of how buildings are imploded from the first one I saw. I could never reconcile the forensics of the collapsed buildings, the implosion-like free fall of the towers, the delayed collapse of Building 7 and the *cheesecloth* explanations, or lack thereof, forthcoming from the government *investigations*. There remains much to be explained and brought to light. The only things I can see that are clear are that the official explanations are invalid, that there is a strong network of interlinked motives for controlled demolition and that these clearly WERE controlled demolitions.

I have been around steel and welding most of my life. I was an inspector for a large rail car repair company for years and I had a lot of training in the field of inspecting welds and steel structure as well as other related topics. I know Jet fuel cannot melt steel or except in the most perfect condition weaken it.
The fact that building 7 fell at free fall speed as did the other 2 towers tells us that their were other forces in affect beside the short lived jet fuel fires that brought these towers down
