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 have a Bachelors degree in Engineering: in electronics and communication engineering. I've been working as an IT consultant for more than seven years now. I come from a family of architects and structural engineers. My father, brother and sister are all qualified and practicing architects. In addition to my engineering degree, I have also gained some conceptual knowledge from my family.
It is scary for someone like me to be in the US, as I feel vulnerable: vulnerable to being detained, arrested, tortured or even assassinated one day for no reason. The official explanations from the 9/11 commission make no sense. We want the truth and a proper scientific investigation.

In 1978 I moved to Alaska. I am now retired after 28 years in project management and construction management in Alaska. I have three grown children and a wonderful wife.
After studying various reports, videos, and other information, it is my opinion that the reopening of the 911 commission is warranted. The recent book written by two 911 commission leaders includes a first chapter entitled We were set up to fail. This does not do justice to the lives lost. This event was tragic and does not deserve to be clouded in unanswered questions. The pulling of building seven has to my knowledge not been explained.

Main points that visually convince: collapse of penthouse and tower structure before lower areas; explosions in lower floors well below collapsing areas; free fall of structure without resistance. Also other evidence re melted steel, sound of explosions AND clearly, the sheer lack of acknowledgement of these facts in the official report.

I attended University of California at Berkeley in 1984-1986. I studied at the College of Environmental Design for a Bachelor of Arts degree, but added classes in the Structural Engineering Department for an Independent degree entitled Architecture and Structures. - - - - I worked in the field, including many years for Jacobson Silverstein Winslow in Berkeley before starting my own practice Erickson Zebroski Design Group, Inc in San Francisco in 1994. Our work focuses primarily on Residential design.
I had gotten up early on Sept 11 2001 to catch up on some Architectural work, while my 18 month old son slept in the other room. As I watched the towers collapse on TV, my first thought was that the buildings fell too neatly. My second thought was that my life and the life of my son would change dramatically from that moment forward. - - - - Reading through the information that later came out about the collapses, I've never had a doubt that it was a planned demo and attack. The evidence is just too strong and compelling.

I had never previously viewed the videos of the building collapses with a critical eye until watching documentaries that state the elapsed time of the collapses and provide eye witness accounts of explosions within the buildings that were unrelated to the airplane impacts. Also, the open-air burn temperature of jet fuel did not provide a heat source sufficient to melt the steel structure and produce a building collapses at near free-fall speeds.

I have gained considerable experience identifying, assessing, and evaluating risk as it pertains to patient / user safety.
As a member of an organization that has the right to self regulate within this country, I have been granted a level of trust and also, through my education and training, I have gained insights that may not be obvious to others. - - - - With that in mind, I cannot fathom any reason to have destroyed the steel from the WTC buildings - not under any circumstances. The brave voices of the professionals who openly challenged that order ought to be fully recognized as heros. Remaining objectional and rational in the wake of such a monstrous crime must have been so very difficult. - - - - So for them, for the victims, and for the survivors, I fully support your right to a truly open investigation and hope that many American professionals will embrace this opportunity.

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

A retired Canadian woman. Worked in Administration for several large corporations at the executive level. My credentials at this point are not necessary, nor do I believe it matters what degrees or certificates or awards are mine. From University affiliation, I launched into my career in the early 1970's and continued to learn about and experience the corporate blueprint as corprotocity grew into the new millenium. I was and am now well aware of the power held by huge conglomerates and those that control them. My positions placed me as a small cog in a dark wheel propelling the ship of commerce and finance of the world. I was naive to how the world stage truly plays out, like too many compartmentalized doing their work today. After pulling away from the beast through retirement in 2014, I began to research and learn the 'Truth behind the veil' continuing this pursuit to now. September 11, 2001 is in the history of mankind. For nineteen years - the plan for control and destruction that led up to the 2001 event, continued to be a force to be reckoned with...accelerated and intentional beyond what most humans can comprehend.

The whole story is a complete farce. First time NORAD stood down in over 25 years on the day of 9/11. They were even doing a training exercise on the day which involved planes being used as missiles in a terrorist event. Of course when NORAD was called to the real event (9/11) they were 1 hour away from the incident, so they had no chance of intercepting the planes that were going towards the towers. Many things are off with the official story. This is the first time in history that towers have fallen due to jet fuel fires. the fires cannot burn at high enough temperature to melt steel. Even if you believe the steel melted it would have been at the top of the building and there is no way that the force from that top half of the building was enough to bring down the rest of the towers. There are multiple videos, audio files of people saying that explosions were heard at the bottom of the towers prior to them coming down. This is coming from firemen who risked their lives on the day to try to save people in the towers. This is not even thinking about the supposed 19 Saudi Arabs who managed to get through airport checking and then hi-jack two Boeing 767 planes successfully and then somehow fly those planes with hardly any experience of flying? It's like asking the first person on the street to go and fly a Boeing 767, they wouldn't have a clue how to fly it. The whole story is a complete farce and it needs to be investigated again.

On September 21 I woke up at 6:36. AM MDT with an irresistible urge to turn on the TV, in spite of the fact I had not been able to get to sleep until after 3 AM that morning. I turned on channel 9, our NBC affiliate, to the news that an airplane had been flown into one of the World Trade Center towers. As I was watching, a second plane flew into the other tower. The rest is history.
The visual evidence does not match the government's explanation, especially concerning WTC 7.

I believed the official story for about 6 months, until an editorial in Nexus magazine, raising questions about the scrambling of the planes, opened my eyes. I have read many of David Ray Griffin's books and once presented a film of one of his talks (9/11 - The Myth and the Reality) at a metaphysical healing center. This extraordinary lie, which has led to so much suffering and death, must be exposed. I thank all of you for your tireless and excellent work.

We've never had an investigation into the origins or aftermath of that day. An investigation would include investigators who could interview anyone they want about anything relevant with no time pressure, or no 'buddying-up'. An investigation would also include a forensic examination of all the evidence, including the steel from the THREE demolished buildings. The fact that this evidence was removed before a detailed cataloging and examination of it had happened... is the only justification we need for demanding a new investigation!

I am happy to find a group of professionals that are not 'conspiracy theorists' as they like to call all of us who questions things. As a person with common sense, it is so obvious that building 7 didn't 'burn down' it baffles my mind that people accept this reasoning. I won't go into politics here. I just want to know the truth and support what you are doing. I hope that by September 11, 2021 on the 20th anniversary of this tragic event, that changed our country and has taken away our privacy and freedoms in the name of 'security' we can get our way of life back, stop the endless wars and find who is behind this evil before they die so that they can be brought to justice.

There are a myriad of observable events from 9/11 footage that proves without a shadow of a doubt that the official narrative is untrue. The presence of nano-thermite is a massive indicator that the official story is a lie. The speed in which the buildings pancaked (from a FIRE) does not make sense unless it was a controlled demolition. Never in the history of the world has a plane crashed into a skyscraper and caused SEVERAL buildings to collapse in free-fall acceleration. The explosions that were heard by witnesses and captured in independent video throughout the lower levels and basement is also in direct contradiction to the official narrative. The fact that a massive insurance policy was taken out directly beforehand is extremely suspicious. The fact that many prominent individuals who were known to never miss a day of work were absent on 9/11 or encouraged their employees not to come in is also HIGHLY suspicious.This was a false-flag attack that served to ignite hatred against the middle east so that we could implement a regime change and steal more natural resources/wreak more havoc on third world people. Everyone involved in this should be held accountable to the highest degree possible. There are no words to describe the disgust, pain, and unimaginable loss of life that occurred on that fateful day. Justice absolutely must prevail regardless of how long it takes or how difficult the path may seem.

I have friends in FDNY and NYPD who have off-the-record told me that they heard explosions below the building before the Towers came down. They said the explosions were so strong that it lifted up people and emergency personnel into the air so high that when they fell, they broke their legs and were injured. Others on-site said they saw the high-speed plumes of exploding dust coming out of the buildings as the buildings collapsed. Many of them have passed away from cancer due to exposure to the toxic dust. An Army friend, then stationed at the Pentagon as a nurse, indicated that there was a weird meeting being held with a few random officers in the wing that was closed due to construction. The meeting was over but the officers were not allowed to leave for a while. Then there was a huge explosion. The nurse and other enlisted staff ran to the outside of the building and asked what was going on. Some said a missile strike, some said a plane but when she saw the side of the building, there was just a burning hole, no fuselage, no tail, no wings. She has since retired from service.

I am convinced this was not a terrorist attack led by out of country terrorists. They may have been involved, but I do not believe they could have pulled it off without inside help. Also, those Towers did not fall. Common sense tells us this just could not have happened the way it was purported to have. Not a popular opinion, but I'm used to that, ha!

After studying film for a few years at college, I became interested in starting my own business to invest in other small business owners that have trouble competing against the oligarchy of the United Corporations of America
I was young when 9/11 happened, only 6 at the time. But to look at why this country would do such a thing, you really only have to look at who stood to benefit from the WTC attack. Was it these random people of color that we satirized and propagated against? Or was it the country that used this ever as an excuse to reduce immigration, limit travel, and invade the privacy of every citizen?

I wanted to comment on Lucky Larry Silverstein's 'pull it' comment. Quite apart from the fact that Larry's later re-interpretation/rationalization of his own words: 'maybe the smartest thing to do is to 'pull it', makes no rational sense. I happened to notice in that very Youtube video, (and this supports the original obvious interpretation of 'pull it' as being controlled demolition) -that at the moment when Larry says 'pull it', simultaneously he makes a gesture with his intertwined hands. That is, when he says the word 'pull', he literally pulls his hands apart, as though what he is talking about is coming apart. Here, as far as I'm concerned, and for any reasonable person, body language gives away the intention of his meaning at this point. It's hard not to see this as far as I'm concerned. You don't have to be a body language expert. Keep up the pressure.
