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'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!

Four years spent studying for my degrees. Ten years working mainly offshore in the oil industry all around the world.
When I first saw the collapses I remarked that they looked like something one would see in a Hollywood film. It took me a few years to stumble over a video showing what looked like demolition squibs as the twin towers collapsed. Instantly I recognized the truth that was hidden in plain sight. A true eureka moment. I have too many questions to list them all but here's a taster: 1) What caused the molten steel under WTC 1,2 & 7? Why do NIST deny that there was molten steel under these buildings? 2) Why did WTC 1,2 & 7 collapses display all the characteristics of controlled demolitions if they were not? 3) Why was over 99% of the steel from the WTC buildings sent to Asia to be melted down before a thorough forensic investigation could take place? 4) Why did so many witnesses hear & see explosions if there were no explosives in the buildings? 5) How did NIST get away with such obvious pathological science in their report on the collapse of the twin Towers - i.e. ignoring thermal expansion when analysing a possible fire-induced failure? The list goes on and on and on...

The events of 9/11 were false flag terror. In order to break through the political barriers which inhibit identification of the true culprits behind these events, scientific evidence and reasoning in opposition to the official 9/11 commission report must be brought to the forefront by technical professionals.

I have a Bachelor degree in Engineering Science and Mechanics, 1971 BESM includes much of the curriculum for structural engineers including Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, truss design, the dynamics of deformable bodies, plastic deformation, etc. I have been in the development business and built buildings up to five stories.
As documented by this group, never in the history of steel framed skyscrapers since 1908 has a single one of them failed from fire damage, other than the supposed fire imposed collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7. A number of researchers have well documented horrific fires in steel buildings, none of which failed and all were reconditioned and still in use. It was patently obvious as I watched the original footage from Vienna, Austria that these were commercial implosions. Building Seven housed CIA and other federal agencies, all of which would have had to have known and approved of plans and capability to implode the buildings months in advance. The America public deserves to know the truth.

It never looked right to me, how the twin towers came down. I remember talking about it with co-workers at the time and the explanation was that the structural columns were hollow. Now I understand that the twin towers were in reality a very sturdy steel structure.

Have been designing building structures for 35 years both in the UK and the Middle East with local UK based consultancies and with a large project management company in Saudi Arabia. For the last 14 years, I have owned and run a structural design consultancy in Edinburgh, UK specializing in steel framed, masonry and timber building designs.
From the outset, watching the collapses on television, it was clear there were very serious questions to be asked about how three robust steel framed buildings collapsed into their own footprints, one of which had not been struck by an aircraft and had been subject to a relatively minor fire. Given the evidence from multiple witnesses regarding explosions in the buildings before and after the planes struck, the stand-down of the US air force, the admission by the owner of the buildings of the decision to demolish Building 7, the immediate removal of structural evidence, the high temperature fires in the basements, the evidence for explosive residues in dust and obvious unwillingness of US authorities to offer a reasoned and full engineering explanation for the collapses. Since 911, the two relevant UK engineering institutions have failed to provide an analysis or to offer advice to structural engineers on progressive collapse and fire protection in steel framed buildings in complete contrast to previous serious building collapses. In my opinion, the official report on the collapses, or any other that I am aware of was entirely inadequate and should be reopened to fully investigate the reasons for these building failures and offer advice and guidance on limiting risk in future, and existing, structures.

The attribution of collapse of the buildings 1, 2 and 7 of the World Trade Center in New York on the 11th of September in 2001 to fires and mechanical damage caused by impact of two jetliners is not credible. Contrasting the extent to which the wreckage from the Air India and Swissair crashes into the Atlantic Ocean was retreived and re-assembled to investigate causation, the forensic processes of the 911 investigation were indefensibly frustrated and incomplete.The NIST report into the collapse of WTC7 in particular appears to be incompetent, failing to examine the possibility of the most likely cause, and producing an abbreviated and misinterpreted model of thermal displacement of support elements as the most likely cause.

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.

My suspicion regarding the official narrative of 9-11 commenced upon seeing the video televised of the planes impacting the Towers at the first airing of the news report. About 5 years later I began my personal research to seek out the truth and did a lot of internet research. Watching the videotapes, it was very obvious that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. Like many others (who still possess critical thinking skills and a capacity to question of the official story), I suspected that the Towers were brought down by well-placed incendiaries and perhaps even direct energy hits. Knowing how corrupt Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and their ilk were, I knew that anything they said was a pack of lies. This horrific crime against there own citizenry was proof positive for me that they were all a gang of vile globalists. Somewhere around the same time, I became aware of the Plan for a New America Century / Agenda 21 and their (NWO) plan for an economic reset initiated by the pernicious Patriot Act. Now we find ourselves in yet another globalist driven BIG LIE to further manipulate the people of America (and the world) and ultimately decimate our remaining rights and freedom. I pray this litigation proves successful and all the heinous crimes of government/the controlling elite regarding 9-11 are brought to full light and complete justice. A million thanks for all your valiant efforts to bring this about! May the sleeping masses awaken to the truth and take action to help right the wrongs and help correct our present path before it is too late. God Bless!

I can see that those buildings did not balance on their structures. Something happened to them that caused the structure to be removed from within, and the buildings didn't topple over sideways. It is not possible for them to do that without having rigged up internal explosives and setting it off in unison. There is so much proof already, how much more is needed to question the official lies?

I initially believed the coverage I witnessed on the TV during the event and aftermath. Seeing building 7 collapse, which was never hit by a plane, motivated me to look further. I researched the internet and was dumbfounded by what I discovered. We all need to establish Who, What, Where, When and How. What was done needs closure, we all NEED to know, Worldwide, WHO did this to INNOCENT Americans on THEIR own soil.

Top Norwegian education in static and relevant mathematics. Occupied mostly within calculation and design of steel and concrete heavy and advanced structures as bridges, deep-water drilling ship, sea based concrete platforms for oil industry, factories, concert buildings, hospitals etc. Have also been occupied in supervising and checking most all sort of structural tasks and problems. 23 years employed in 2 high standard engineering/consultant firms also much hired out parts of that time. Last 17 years I ran my personal firm.
Took me about thirty seconds to recognize that the collapse had little/nothing with planes to do. I am very much in agreement with you considering only the indisputable facts, which are enough to falsify the scam within statics, dynamics, and chemistry.

Life long advocate of sustainability and responsible consumerism. College grad, parent of three children, and two grandchildren. I, and my family, have been eating plant based diets for many decades. I was convicted of possession of marijuana in 1985, and was imprisoned for the same. I spent 8 years under the are and control of the US Attorney General of the USA. The lies of governmental control for the sake of interests other than the best interests of the citizens of America became evident to me through those policies.
I worked in NYC during 2001. My girlfriend lived below Canal street. I saw the multitudes of New Yorkers begging for peace after the tragedy. From the beginning I found it incredulous that three buildings could come down within their footprints accidentally. It seemed to me too convenient, Add to that the relative lack of loss of life - If the collision happened in the afternoon, the amount of people impacted would have been significantly higher. Most workers weren't in the building yet. I had a strong feeling that if this were done by those really wanting to do the worst - the collision would have happened much later. It didn't feel right from the get go. When 9/11 was used to justify the 'war on terror' the metal discord grew. Too convenient.

I watched on 9/11 as the towers fell and said to my daughter: ''This is controlled demolition'' - high school physics was enough for me to see that instantly. I believe the U.S. and Israel brought down the towers and building 7 to bring about the wars in the Middle East FOR ISRAEL. Google ODED YINON, translated from Hebrew to English in 1982 by Israeli professor Israel Shahak, which outlines the plan. (I took him on a speaking tour in 1968). Then look at the interview with General Wesley Clark on YouTube (3/2/07 on Democracy Now) about the U.S. planning to destroy seven ME countries which WAS the Yinon plan!

Whatever one might think about what brought about the destruction of the Towers, Building 7 falls outside any logical conclusion. The absence of inquiry on the subject as well as its dismissal from Governmental sources points to a lack of transparency that undermines the values we purport as a nation.
