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.

Occupation: Aviation Technology
I was formally trained by the government in aerospace technology: airframe structures, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems and the materials and methods for repairing and replenishing these systems. I was also trained and refreshed annually in aircraft firefighting. I was involved in aircraft accident recovery efforts and reconstruction. I worked as an aircraft corrosion specialist dealing with composition and subsequent treatment of metal alloys and their deterioration properties. This included metals subjected to many different stresses such as heat, vibration, acids, salts, biological attacks, and deterioration due to improper alloying.
Based on my past experience with aircraft fuel fires and their documented effect on metal structures, I simply cannot accept the official version of what happened to the three buildings that fell on 9/11. Given the temperature at which jet fuel burns, and the quantity involved in this particular incident, I believe it is patently impossible for it to heat a steel structure of the kind found in WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 to the point of catastrophic, free-fall collapse such as was exhibited by all three of these buildings on that day. I have personally witnessed mild-steel structures subjected to repeated applications of burning jet fuel over the course of days and weeks with no significant damage resulting to these much weaker structures. There is simply no logical reason to accept the NIST evaluation of the fuel fires on 9/11.

I have read extensively on 9/11 events and I am convinced that a new investigation of the events and mechanisms of the building collapses is necessary to get to the truth of what really happened. There are too many qualified engineers and professional people who don't accept the conventional version of what happened. I join other Americans in demanding a new investigation.

Obtained a Ph.D. from Purdue University for work in structure dynamics. My dissertation was one of the first that studied the design of fossil-fuel plants under seismic conditions. Have worked in the design of nuclear power plants and radioactive waste disposal, including the design of containers for fuel and low-level waste. Retired P.E.
There seems to be a disconnect between the outcome and the cause of the tower's destruction. When I saw the towers implode symmetrically, in an orderly fashion, my immediate thought was that it can not happen due to a non-symmetric loading. The more the so-called experts, including the NIST engineers, tried to explain it, the murkier it got. I appreciate the effort of AE911Truth for continuing diligently to uncover the truth that does not contradict our engineering knowledge.

Occupation: Electronic Engineer--Retired
I got my BSEE from Stanford in 1964, and my MSEE in 1966. I worked in industry after that until I retired in 1997. My last job was at Boeing, in both the military and commercial divisions. Since I retired from Boeing, I have done quite a bit of tutoring in math and physics, at the high school and college levels.
Since about a week after the 9/11 bombing, I have thought that it was an inside job, by our own government. You might ask, why would our government want to do such a thing? My theory is that they knew we would be entering a protracted period of war in the Middle East to maintain control of world oil. The American public was very much against going to war, ever since Vietnam. The 9/11 bombing did, to a great extent, ignite war fever in this country, especially since they have conducted the war(s) without reviving the draft.

I'm a truth seeking American citizen who is always asking questions, and I believe the people of this country deserve to know the truth about what really happened on 9/11/01.
Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams! It is impossible. Also, WTC 7 didn't just collapse on its own, it was obviously a controlled demolition and in my opinion, that provides enough reasoning to launch an alternative investigation to uncover what really happened on 9/11/01.

I know that our govt was responsible for 9/11. I knew it then and I know it now. The companies that stood to benefit from this event are mostly owned by past members of the us government and also the patriot act emerged afterwards. Our government has been corrupt for so long that nothing surprises me anymore. My gut says Bush family ties, dick Cheney associations with Halliburton and patriot act spoils equals guilty

I have learned from this organization since its inception because after watching the buildings collapse like they did, I could tell it was a controlled demolition and there have been many in Vegas where I have lived for decades. I also listened to the first-hand witnesses who were actually present and believed what they were saying about the EXPLOSIONS they HEARD and the aftermath of them they WITNESSED FIRST-HAND. I NEVER believed what the "official" narrative said. I have followed the investigative journalists, this organization, researchers into government destruction and corruption for DECADES and want justice for all those MILLIONS of INNOCENT LIVES DESTROYED BY THIS NATION FROM THE THOUSANDS MURDERED ON 9/11 TO THE MILLIONS DESTROYED BY ENDLESS WARS BECAUSE OF THE LIES OF 9/11. THIS NATION HAS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF. IT'S LONG OVERDUE TO STOP THE EVIL. LONG OVERDUE. There is ENOUGH PROOF this was a STAGED FALSE FLAG EVENT SO A FEW CERTAIN PEOPLE COULD BECOME MUCH WEALTHIER BY MURDERING MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND DESTROYING LIVES. AND THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE! I am also Lebanese. My mother is from Lebanon and I know about the seven countries the USA wanted to take out. Lebanon was one of them. I want an investigation NOT conducted by our government nor anyone tied to our government because the public DEMANDS it for justice to the millions of lives destroyed from the aftermath of 9/11.

Many Americans would be shocked if they knew the actual history of our country and what's really happening now, and hopefully take urgent action. Their conception is a myth. The 9/11 attacks were the planned excuse for our war in Iraq followed by our constant wars for 19 years. This was a foundation for our current militaristic state. If the real history of 9/11 were to come out, urgent actions might be inspired to save our constitutional democracy. I am a political Independent who hasn't been brainwashed by either political party.

The official explanation does not agree with evidence gathered and presented by ae911.org. The 9/11 commission had their hands tied in many ways. More scientific evidence has been analyzed by many more experts with the benefit of time and hindsight. There needs to be a new commission set up to add the credible scientific information to amend the previous 9/11 commission report. Out of respect for so many that died, the credible analysis of the evidence presented by so many in the group 'architects and engineers for 9-11 truth' should be taken seriously.

I have a BA with 12 credit hours (4 semesters) in logic and critical thinking. I have also completed 9 credit hours (3 semesters) in the philosophy of science.
While I am not an engineer, it seems clear that the official NIST accounts of the WTC collapses are in violation of very fundamental principles of scientific methodology. They have excluded pertinent evidence that is incongruent with their hypotheses, and pursued a conclusion without properly comparing the merits with alternative hypotheses that better account for the evidence.

After watching WTC 7 collapse I knew that foul play was involved. I then reviewed the evidence for the destruction of all towers (WTC 1, 2, 7) with explosives and found it to be irrefutable. This fact implicates the U.S. government in the attacks. Justice needs to be served for the murders that were committed on September 11th and in the resulting wars that followed.

As a Direct Care Professional, I see to it that the individuals under my charge receive the best possible care, are treated with all due respect and honor any possible requests, hopes, and dreams. Prior to my becoming a CDCP, I spent thirty plus years in the food service business. As noted above, I earned an Associate in Applied Science in Restaurant Management.
As an armchair expert on explosives, I witnessed in horror the obvious controlled demolition of the three buildings at the World Trade Center Complex. When I first became aware of the AE911Truth creation, I knew I must donate and spread the truth. Much more recently, I began reading 'Death of a Nation: 9/11 and the Rise of Fascism in America' by George W. Grundy. I am only one third through this blockbuster. I cannot put it down, nor keep quiet. The rise of the Neoconservatives during the George W. Bush Administration is detailed very well and provides a road-map of the true events of Tuesday September 11, 2001.

I worked in several industries including software development, US Army (public relations) and construction. I earned my bachelor degree from Sonoma State University as a working adult.
Although I didn't have a background in the sciences, I was puzzled as I watched each tower collapse; I'd never seen grey ash and debris from a fire that moments earlier was emitting black smoke. I couldn't understand how everything turned to dust, ostensibly from a fire. I now know that I was watching a pyroclastic explosion of ash and material, which was previously only seen as a result of volcanic activity.

I understand what happened and who was involved. I spent 20 years in the trades and it has hardly no relevance upon what I know about the events. Your videos helped to piece this unexplained act of cowardice terrorism together and I am hoping to shed some light upon the situation as i fear GOD and GOD alone now. My heart aches for those families and all the American people who are desperate for truth related to the matter. This is very serious to me as it is who we are as Americans to seek out justice for all those involved, which indirectly we all are as this event shaped our entire world as to how we would live within it since 9/11.
The American people, especially those who were directly and immediately affected deserve justice for those who lost their lives and have had none given. Looking through a unique perspective of beneficiaries as a direct result of the mayhem, you can tell who was involved collaboratively and why the event and its concealment occurred. I hope to explain this as it is directly related to some of the undefined chaos being exhibited in our world to this day and helps to explain why these events are transpiring as well. This puzzle has been solved already, its just a matter of exposing them now for their murderous, tyrant and cowardice ways.

Journeyman Ironworker Local 416 Los Angeles California, Bakersfield College Architecture, Supervising Building Inspector County of Kern 23 years.
My experience as an Ironworker and Supervising Building Inspector lead me to believe that the structures at Buildings(s) 1 & 2 failure was caused by deliberate structure failure and not by ignition caused by jet fuel (kerosene), immediately after seeing the films of the structural collapse. Building #7 was clearly a product of demolition and not by low temperature fires as indicated by the government report. Those of us who have experience in erection of structural steel structures as well as extensive inspection experience of these types of structures are well aware that the structures that failed could not have been caused as portrayed in the governmental report.
