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 first become skeptical about the official 9/11 narrative while watching the NOVA episode on the subject with my mentor, engineer E. Thomas Casey - who did the calculations for Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum, among other projects - during which Mr. Casey expressed the depth of his disappointment with this particular piece of misinformation by quietly wiping a tear from his eye and simply saying, 'it is not true.'

I am a conveyor maintenance tech. at a small electronics company in Southwestern Ohio.
In the documentary entitled 'The Explosive Reality', at approximately the 6:15 mark, amateur footage of the second plane hitting the WTC can be seen. If you watch the impacted face of the building, and not the approaching plane, you will see quite clearly a diagonal line of detonations from the upper left, going down to the right just BEFORE the plane impacts the building. Now if obvious video evidence isn't enough to merit a new and independent investigation, then I don't know what is. I wish us all the best of luck in this...because we're going to need it!

Even as a lay person, there were parts of the official explanation that did not make full sense to me. Over time, my attention was brought to the various documentaries such as In Plane Sight and Loose Change. I have never been satisfied with the conclusions around JFK's assassination either. Both situations tear me apart because I don't want to be any kind of zealot or conspiracy theorist and I deplore thinking domestic entities regard us as expendable, yet there is evidence and/or the lack thereof which I cannot sanely ignore.

I have been a registered Architect for 27 years. I have been responsible for over half a billion dollars worth of construction. This construction includes medical, institutional, commercial, residential, multi-family residential, and spiritual architecture. Building types include wood frame, heavy timber frame, masonry, steel frame and concrete, pre-cast concrete, post-stressed concrete, poured-in-place concrete.
After watching the research version DVD, I am absolutely convinced that all 3 buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. The question is why? I hope and pray this is the answer: The CIA knew the plan to fly the planes into the buildings, but they did not know when or how. In case the CIA could not stop Al-Qaeda, they were afraid a portion of the building(s) could slide off and destroy many more buildings in the surrounding area. They decided to paint the core with thermite and wire the buildings in the event they could not stop the terrorists. In the event the planes crashed into the buildings, they could at least control the demolition and save more buildings of NY City. Dropping Building 7 throws a monkey wrench into my theory, except its proximity to the others and the damage from the debris???

Since graduating college in 1982, I have worked in the structural engineering field. In 2000, I started my own consulting business as a structural engineer. I have experience with wood, concrete, and steel design as well as some forensic experience investigating collapses of structures. I also have experience as a paid on call fire/rescue worker.
I've done extensive research online, and of videos, and have concluded that at the very least, building #7 was 100% a controlled demolition. Although there are literally hundreds of discrepancies, and unexplained things surrounding 9/11, I consider the collapse of building #7, and the fact that Controlled Demolition (the Company) was hired for site clean-up to be an unexplainable coincidence. The fact that we spent much less than the investigation of Flight 800 is also questionable. The destruction of the crime scene evidence is inexcusable. I did not witness any raging infernos that the media claims existed on 9/11.

I am a Minnesota native and am politically active in my city precinct. I am also an architecture and engineering student through the Minnesota State College and Universities system. I recently published a book title Organized Chaos which outlines in detail how 9/11 could not have happened how the government said it did and how 9/11 is being used as a pretext to invade the countries of the Middle East to get the Military industrial Complex cranking and to convince the American people to give up their civil liberties in exchange for security.
There is no way that Jet Fuel (Kerosene) which can also be used to heat pop rivets could have sustained the amount of heat required to melt steel. Also, there is no way that a steel building (i,e. Building 7) could have collapsed in its own footprint after burning for a few hours when it only sustained superficial damage, when other, much older, buildings have burned for days with much more intense fires and never collapsed.

I am a licensed civil engineer specializing in water resources engineering. My engineering experience includes projects such as: pressurized irrigation systems, water storage tank design, canal structures, dam spillway design, water rights, SCADA telemetry management systems, soils testing, and design of reinforced concrete structures.
It is difficult for me to believe from a technical point of view that building 7 collapsed as the official report indicates from fire and debris damage. Portions of the building may have collapsed from damage however, the entire building collapsed symmetrically including the portions of the building which were in no way compromised as a result of the collapse of the twin towers.

I'm a Bucknell graduate, class of 2014, BS Mechanical Engineering. Currently awaiting admissions decisions to pursue an Industrial Engineering MS in Fall 2017. Experience: I've been working in industry for 2.5 years since graduating, first as a Process Engineer and now as a Project Engineer for a global manufacturing corporation. This has been a good fit for my skill set, prompting me to continue my education and specialize in a field that suits me. Also EIT certified, and working under a PE for 1 year.
Isaac Newton has made the only statement that should be needed to justify an independent investigation into 9/11. Ironically, this same statement made by Newton, which would later become Three Laws, guided civilization without fault for over 300 years until 9/11. These Laws faulted on that day not because of an error in Newton's calculations, but because civilization chose to ignore them. I cannot, however, as to do so would be to brazenly disregard the physics on which our society is built. The government's explanation and public's currently held view regarding the collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7 does not fully take into account Newton's Three Laws of Motion. In every other aspect of our profession, Architects and Engineers have a civic duty to use these Laws to keep the public safe. 9/11 should be no exception.

I have been involved in community activism for much of my life - more on the local level until September 11th 2001 when my attention sharply turned to national issues. I knew our government was involved from the moment the second plane hit and have been working to educate myself and others on what really occurred that day. I have great respect for all those who have worked so hard to get the truth out and for accountability for those responsible.
Since the moment the second plane hit the World Trade Center which I saw in real time and I have been educating myself and others about the lies and cover-up. There is no way skyscrapers could collapse the way we saw in just a few seconds without assist and what is fascinating is that people still have no idea that building 7 even collapsed - a building that was not hit by a plane, had limited fires and collapsed in its own footprint in a few seconds. Come on!!!! Seeing Larry Silverstein, the holder of the lease for the World Trade Center buildings, say on TV that they decided to pull building 7 that day and knowing that it takes 2-3 weeks minimum to prepare a 47-story building for demolition didn't make any sense and was a real red flag. Also, the BBC announcing the collapse a half hour before building 7 fell was interesting to say the least. Every word out of the Bush Crime Family has been a lie why would anyone in their right mind think they were telling the truth about this one event that they needed (a catastrophic event) to get their illegal wars started.

I find it very hard to believe that the twin towers could have collapsed in a perfectly symmetrical manner, just from the impact and resulting fires from jet aircraft hitting them. Also, I do not understand how WTC Building #7 collapsed, as it had not sustained a direct hit by anything.

I believe that the 9/11 WTC building collapses were a controlled demolition and that it is being covered up by our government and media. This is an outrage and I demand to know the truth. Every person that has participated in this cover up should be charged with a serious crime. This heinous act cannot go unpunished.

I loved the twin towers since I can remember. Could remember 9 11th when I did not go to work but to the doc because of sickness. After coming home I switched on the tv like always on CNN and then the TV runs the whole week switching through all the programs to get information. I could not believe the official theory and I think that it is very important to bring the whole truth out ! BLUEPRINT FOR TRUTH = Great !!!

Immediately after the events of 9/11 I could see that the story that the public was given just did not add up to what I witnessed. I mean it was strange that the nation stood idle while the planes were hijacked for hours. Then as I learned more of the details of the event I grew more suspicious. How could the WTC-1 and 2 towers fall so quickly? I had heard Mayor Giuliani on the news on 9/11 stating that they would bring down the Solomon Building (WTC-7), I assumed that it would happen weeks or months later. I was shocked when I learned later that the building fell that day. I was aware that it required weeks, or months, to carry out such an operation.

After viewing the collapse of the twin towers and building #7 with a critical eye, it is so very obvious these buildings were demolished with controlled explosives. It is physically impossible for these buildings to collapses as they did because of fire or collision with an airplane.

I think it is so transparent, the lies covering up what really happened that day. Clearly nothing other than an organized explosion could bring down such buildings. It is time the world see's this and we all get on board and do what we can to get the truth out there. Even if the general public are afraid. We shall never give up on this.

I don't believe that the towers fell due to fire. I therefore would like to know what really caused them to fall, since the official story doesn't agree with architectural expertise.
