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: Investigator/Interrogator
I served twenty-two years in the U.S. Army. My occupational fields were Military Intelligence, Infantry, and Administration. The majority of my service was abroad. My Intelligence occupations included: Strategic Debriefer, Deputy Intelligence Liaison Officer, German Linguist, and Senior Interrogation Instructor. I was an Infantry Paratrooper, during the 1960's, and I served almost two and one-half years of combat experience as a team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant, and acting platoon leader in Vietnam. My combat experience included training and extensive experience with explosives. My administrative experience was as a member of a NATO Special Weapons Unit, in Europe, and I was part of our Nuclear Weapons Release Program. My highest government security clearance was TOP SECRET. Although never a Police Officer, I conducted preliminary investigations for a CALEA accredited Police Department, for one and one-half years. I served as a Correctional Officer for four and one-half years before I was forced into medical retirement. I am a Police Science Honor Graduate of Johnston Technical Institute, 1972. I have no Degree, but I do have an educational background, from various colleges and universities, which includes Criminal Justice, Computer Programming, German Country Studies, and Commercial Art. Some of my early work experience includes employment as a Private Investigator, Purchaser, Food & Beverage Manager, Innkeeper (General Manager), and an Internal Auditor.
Because of my Intelligence background, I realize that it is important to obtain specific information about specific events, but because I am an analytical thinker, I understand that specific events are often only a part of greater events, thus I do not limit my analysis of 9/11 events to the events of 9/11. Instead: I ask myself: How does this event relate to this other event? Are each of these events part of a greater event? There are parallels to the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 9/11 incident -- the premature destruction of evidence and the premature removal of evidence by our government are common factors. There are parallels to the TWA 800 incident, the Oklahoma City Bombing incident, and the 9/11 incident -- the exclusion of many credible eye-witness reports are common factors. There are parallels to the Warren Commission Report and the 9/11 Commission Report -- the reports are the reports of incompetent investigators, or the reports of agenda-driven officials who intentionally intended to deceive us. I am unable to theorize any other options. Because of my background, my knowledge, the reported evidence, and my analytical reasoning, I don't believe the official report about the collapse of the twin-towers and building #7. Furthermore, I believe that to exclusively focus upon those incidents is to miss the greater picture. Finally, it should be obvious to any informed observer, without any other evidence, that the symmetrical implosion of the twin towers was a controlled implosion.

As a small child I witnessed the collapse of a non-combustible manufacturing building after the steel structure was subjected to extreme heat from a raging fire for hours. The pile of rubble left by the twisted, melted structure was more than half as tall as when the structure stood when in tact. - - - - I have also witnessed the planned implosion of four or more high-rise buildings. - - - - I believe it is very possible that there was much more to the demise of Towers 1 and 2 than just the impact of jets and the power of the fuel they contained. Reasons for the collapse of Tower 7 has remained to me unsatisfactorily explained in the media coverage for the events of 9-11-01. - - - - I am deeply concerned that scientific calculations, debris material sampling and analysis have not been given a fair platform in which the causes of the three Trade Center building collapses on 9-11-01 would be clarified and given fair media and grounds for understanding and justice.

For me the elephant in the room was building no. 7. The symmetry of its collapse is not believable. - - - - The presentation of former NASA engineer Dwan Deets titled THE SIX PILLARS OF CONTROLLED DEMOLITION summarizes certainly enough questions to justify demanding of Congress a truly independent investigation.

Upon receiving my BS in Chem.E. in 1980, I studied Linguistics at University of Michigan graduate school and have worked abroad as a translator of technical documents since 1984.
Because I consider the collapse of the three high rises at near free-fall speeds to be evidence of something else having gone on behind the scenes that day, most likely controlled demolition, even otherwise intelligent progressives consider me a tinfoil hatter now, most probably because of the recent National Geographic special. This is sad, but I believe that in time the psychological need to believe in the official theory will diminish, and the truth will be widely acknowledged. The most compelling evidence was broadcast worldwide repeatedly, ad nauseum. It will eventually be undeniable.

I have 23 years of experience as an energy consultant specializing in small scale power generation plants. In 1991, I completed my degree in Mechanical Engineering with honors.
I remember September 11, 2001 and being confused about why building 7 collapsed from a mere office fire. I had seen fire damage on a steel frame building before, but never a complete uniform collapse from an office fire. It seemed odd to me at the time, but the shock of the event distracted me from thinking about it further at the time.

Like most people who viewed the event, and as a mother of two young children at that time, I was so emotional and deeply sadden by the loss. The event sent chill down to my spine and I was numb and speechless everytime I watched it on TV. My heartfelt thanks to those who initiated AE911 Truth and its supporters. As a civil engineer, after watching the AE911 Truth movie, I could not agree more with the fact that we need to learn the real truth behind 911. The truth must be revealed not only for the sake of the victims' families but for the whole world. As a US citizen and as God's child, I feel responsible to join AE911 Truth in demanding for an unbiased scientific investigation. We owe it to the victims' families, to those soldiers who are fighting in the front line for world peace, as well as to our future generations.

It looked from the very beginning that this is not naturally how buildings fall, that this was somehow a planned event. As a result, we know the media has covered this up for the last 20 years and therefore we have not trusted the media for the last 20 years

Like many people on September 11, 2001, I watched in horror as the events unfolded before my eyes on live television. Since that time, I've believed the narrative put forth by our government. However, over the last year and a half of seeing and hearing many things that haven't made sense, it has become apparent to me that our government can't be trusted. It turns out that in sharing my thoughts on distrust of our government with other people, I am not alone and one person told me about WTC Building 7 collapsing on 9/11. At first, I didn't believe that there really was a third building that collapsed on 9/11 because I had never heard about it or at least I don't remember hearing about it. To my surprise, it didn't take long to find the A&E for 9/11 Truth website and after watching several of the videos, I was feeling shocked and angry at what I was seeing and hearing. I am absolutely appalled and want to know the truth about what happened on 9/11. I believed that America was attacked that day and now I believe it was an inside job. Americans deserve to know what happened and the innocent people who suffered and lost their lives on 9/11 deserve justice!

I cannot figure out why our government insists that a handful of Arabs brought down the twin towers when there is abundant evidence of intentional demolition. Also, the FBI has failed to follow-up on people and organizations that made huge amounts of money from stock investments and insurance receipts.

Obviously the buildings were taken down by implosion, thermite, and mini nukes. Why the glowing molten metals in the basement days/weeks afterward? BBC reporter saying Building 7 fell when it was still standing in the shot behind her?. OOPS! Bush's brother was head of security? HUH?

When I witnessed the event during live news coverage, my natural intuition was the buildings were bought down with 'bombs.' There was no way they could have collapsed from the plane impacts and fire..... Where was footage of the 'plane' hitting the Pentagon? The most secure building in the USA.

No physics or engineering, strong science background.
I'd like to see an independent panel of scientists and engineers with subpoena power reopen the 9/11 investigation. There are too many poorly explained phenomenon, and truth is critical to healing. If we find out that there is more to the story about why the bin Laden's were so quickly removed from the country, and if detonation may have been involved in the collapse of the Towers, it will be messy and ugly, but we will be better off for looking at the truth.

WTC 7 definitely was brought down by controlled demolition. Look at the video when the construction worker carrying a bolt cutter said it was about to fall. Just yesterday they brought down the Champlain Towers with minimal prep time, falling in a precise footprint. NEWTONS LAW apparently does not apply!

Occupation: Construction Project Manager
I live and work in Wellington New Zealand, I am a registered building contractor, and project manager. I have 43 yrs in the construction trade. I have also designed and built many structures using wood and steel. See https://pinespan.co.nz/. I also have a background in design, so able to advise engineers and design experts on how to take simple & practical approaches to constructing structures. My vision is to design and build for a sustainable future for planet Earth.
I believe the NIST reports on both WT 1 & 2 have not been truthful, and should have looked for explosive evidence, which is obvious to any construction expert. I do not accept that any steel framed building can collapse at near free fall speed from a fire that lasted approx an hour or so. Also from a physics perspective, the 'law of conservation of momentum' was not observed. With both towers 1 & 2, the lower sections of the buildings were stronger in steel design, but the speed of the collapse did not slow. This would be the first 'smoking gun'. Also important was that Building 7 was falling at free fall speed for approximately 2 seconds, which cannot happen unless explosives are used. This is the 2nd 'smoking gun'. This shows the Govt used NIST to cover up the collapse, and try and explain it away as a natural organic event .Fires do not work to an orchestrated timetable either, as multiple witnesses describe a countdown. The building was cleared of people, except two, and then 'pulled', and fell into its own footprint, as planned.
