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.

Was running a job at the American Express building across the street from the Trade Center on September 11th and never even entertained the idea those buildings would fall. Since then, with the aid of alternative media such as ae911, I have discovered many inconsistencies in the official story.
I was 10 blocks away when the first building fell and never did, and still can't, believe it was due to jet fuel which would have burned in a quick fireball. All materials New York high rises are built with have a low flame spread.

I have 27 years of experience working on projects involving civil, environmental, and structural engineering, both internationally and nationally. I have expertise in general civil and structural engineering, and a B.S degree in Environmental Resources Engineering. For the past 8 years I have operated an independent structural design firm. Other projects have included structural evaluation with recommendation for repair of failure of structural components including foundations, lateral load resisting systems, load bearing members and retaining walls. I have been been involved in the design of alternative energy projects. I am professionally certified in California, Arizona and Texas.
From the beginning, I felt something was not right although I could not put my finger on it. As the years went by, I read and investigated more and more, I became convinced that the buildings were brought down by demolition. With the latest investigative evidence video 9/11: Explosive Evidence ' Experts Speak Out, I felt vindicated and felt I had to add my name to the list.

Sadly, I retired through ill-health at age 40. Prior to that, I worked on several major construction projects in the UK including a nuclear power station, a major estuarial bridge crossing, Portcullis House and others. I also have experience in bridge design.
I have never felt comfortable with the 'house of cards' collapse of the twin towers. In recent years I've studied work by the commendable David Ray Griffin, whose rational and calm examination of the evidence helps shine a light on the likely truth of the terrible events of that day. In keeping with the many brave professionals who have been prepared to speak out concerning their deep unease about the events of that day, and the incongruity of the official reports, I find myself unable to turn my back on this matter, despite the best efforts of the establishment who continually attempt to discredit it. Please keep on working hard to expose the truth of what really happened on that day, those behind this potentially greatest ever crime, and to bring them and their conspirators to justice in the name of those who lost their lives on the day and subsequently.

AE911truth, presentations from Niels Harrit, Scientists for 911 Truth, and other truth entities present a lot of indisputable evidence for controlled demolition of the WTC towers (dust analysis, free fall videos, descriptions of molten metal and explosions from firefighters and locals, etc). There's simply too much to ignore or dismiss. Conjecture about the US Government being involved in the destruction on September 11th, 2001 is insensible, and ignoring new questions and scientific evidence is equally insensible.

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.

Ever hopeful, I pray for the continued success of the 9/11 Truth Movement, and will do what I can to further it. Let's Save Democracy!
I've been attending to 9/11 very closely ever since my brother in law admitted to me, three days after that tragic day, that he received foreknowledge from boys from the government. He was a manager of a hedge fund for Alliance Capital Management, a firm with close ties to PNAC. Research then revealed Alliance was one of the firms involved in the transactions of airline and other stocks effected by the attacks. I am most interested in what I call the psychology of non-perception. That is, a study of how and why people resist or deny the seeing the obvious, that this was a false flag operation, like so many others, to initiate a war under false pretenses.

All three WTC buildings fell at free-fall speed into their own footprints, classic intentional demolition via internally set explosives. Building 7 collapsed without significant damage from planes, or other obvious external sources. Several first responders including firemen reported explosions in building 1 and 2, including in the basements, prior to the collapse events. Combined with the prodigious volume of fine-grained dust (blown outward from the buildings, and the smoking gun of thermite residue analyzed from metal girder samples, plus persistent pools of molten metal beneath rubble (kerosene jet fuel cannot melt steel), highly suggest the intention demolition of WTC high-rise office buildings independent of external damage caused by aircraft collisions. The mainstream explanation of the WTC demolitions cannot explain away the above observations. A politically independent panel of experts must be convened to finally expose the truth of what happened to the WTC on 9-11-2001.

As an engineer, scientist and pilot I always could successfully rely on the power of laws of nature, mastering the corresponding theory while merging it with practical experience. 9/11 including its aftermath is not only a capital crime on humanity, but also an affront to the enlightened, humanistic, rational and scientific perception of the world. I've been concerned with 9/11 for several years now, and with all my background, I have no doubts that the official explanation of 9/11 is utterly wrong, deceptive and serves evil. My points are: - No rookie pilots maneuvered the planes manually into the twin towers. The sure handling of the involved flight dynamics and accelerations required considerable skill and experience with the particular plane types and/or an adequately set up auto-pilot or remote control system. A few flight lessons on small single engine piston planes or a simulator lesson cannot possibly give the skill needed for such an operation with a large jet. It is highly likely that a newbie in aviation would not even have found the way to New York, not to mention the inability to properly configure the plane for a stable descent and a first time precise hit of the target in a high g curve. - There is no physical connection between the planes impacts and the collapse of the twin towers. The buildings were properly dimensioned to withstand even bigger plane impacts and most of the fuel was ejected and burned outside. The comparably short fires had neither the required temperature to considerably weaken the steel construction locally, nor had they the duration to compete with the steels thermal conduction quickly dissipating the energy away from the fires core. - Nowhere it becomes more clear that the collapse of the buildings is an event physically decoupled from the plane impacts than in the case of the inexplicable collapse of building 7. Just from a probabilistic standpoint it is next to impossible to have an unintentional, totally symmetric collapse. Just in the case of the twin towers, a hypothetical fatal structural weakness would have led to an asymmetric, partial collapse. The observed collapse pattern including acceleration, symmetry and dust production is only reasonably explicable if assuming an intended, well-planned controlled demolition using coordinated explosives. - No Boeing 757 went down at Shanksville. Anybody studying seriously aircraft accidents for technical or security reasons will not be able to recognize in the available pictures and information the serious report of a genuine aircraft crash of claimed kind and proportions. The lack of debris, dead bodies and the unrealistic size of the site are each for itself proof enough that the story is made up. - No Boeing 757 crashed into the Pentagon. Again the dimension and appearance of the damage do not comply with the claimed aircraft type. All incidents showing serious inconsistency with physical and engineering reality make it imperative to consider a coordinated attempt at misleading public perception and installing the picture of a genuine terrorist attack. Looking at the aftermath, in particular the political implications of 9/11, this goal was unfortunately reached. Nevertheless, the facts of high treason, mass murder and genocide are on the table and must be consequently prosecuted for the sake of a future prosperous world.

22 years old. I started questioning the collapses in 2005. Currently I'm studying. I don't have any formal technical education, but I have always been interested in technology and physics.
On 9/11 3 buildings were demolished in a controlled demolition. The molten metal, the reports of bombs and secondary devices and the way the buildings came down clearly shows something is wrong with the official explanation. If anything the above chunk of the towers would have toppled over, following the path of least resistance. Actually we clearly see this happening at the onset of collapse but then as the building is demolished beneath there is no resistance to make it continue to topple over. WTC7 is the loaded gun as Niels Harrit states. Plain and simple. Anyone seeing that video with a basic empirical knowledge of the physical world will know that the collapse could not be caused by fires alone.

I have been in construction for over 30 years and have been extremely upset over 911 and the lack of government investigations. I have been involved in commercial construction and residential construction. I understand how strong steel and concrete are and it is almost impossible to pulverize concrete to dust. Also cutting steel beams at a 45 degree angle naturally is impossible.
There are many issues with the accounts of that day starting with our president hearing about it and almost looking sheepish and embarrassed like a kid who has lied or is hiding something. The facts have never been explained. How did building 7 collapse like it did no planes hit it? How could steel beams be cut like butter at a 45 degree angle (like controlled demolitions) Why are no good camera angles available of the pentagon? How could 3 non pilots hit a bulls eye of three buildings in other words 3 for 3 with no experience? Especially hitting the Pentagon we did not scramble aircraft and the alleged plane was almost touching the ground before hitting the building.

I am a 13 year master electrician in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I have done work in our 42 story office building and other steel beam buildings, as well as in concrete buildings with fire proofing on the structural steel and concrete and on the deck (under the floor).
With all of the fire protection that is done to the structural components and floors and the fire patching I have to do for pipes or cables through walls or floors in buildings in the Milwaukee area, I would think a hi-rise in New York City would have even more stringent codes. Even an older building should have been brought up to code for public safety. With all this, and from what I've read on how the WTC buildings were constructed, I don't think they should have fallen as they did. Maybe the floors above the plane impact floors would have fallen, and some below, but not every single floor, even all the undamaged lower floors? Also, that they fell in such a short time after the plane impacts for Bldgs. 1 & 2, then Bldg. 7 falling hours later for no reason. I'm just an electrician but that doesn't seem right.

I am a recent graduate of middle Tennessee state university, located in Murfreesboro.
In 2002, I submitted a research paper on the collapse of the Twin Towers. My conclusion was that the fires caused by the colliding passenger planes could not have generated the very high temperature necessary to weaken the concrete-reinforced steel columns. I cited examples from books written about CDI (Controlled Demolition, Inc.) to illustrate parallels between the Twin Towers' collapse and standard controlled demolitions.

It was apparent to me at 9:15 a.m. or so that this was false flag. I asked a physics professor from Russia if the physics were normal for a building collapse. She said, They couldn't.. and stopped talking to me. I am not a science major, but it was evident to me from the get go that it was controlled demolition. Pulverized cement that was combined with hardened steel removed from its place and plop, right into the foot print. Controlled demolition, right Dan? I was not a popular person for a few years. No one wanted to hear me out. Spoke out against the president, W., I did. Don't go to war. Don't believe the story the bush administration tells you about Bin Laden or Iraq. Outcast. The laws of Physics ceased to exist on 9/11. Jet fuel, and aluminum hit concrete and steel but the three of the most well engineered buildings in Manhattan free fall into their footprint. I make model airplanes out of aluminum and smash them into my refrigerator to demonstrate the absurdity. Your approach is better. In order for the buildings top sections to fall at free fall speed, the under structure would have to be removed. The demolition's planners would have to get access for extended periods of time to critical points of structural engineering with the proper materials and expertise without being discovered. Who can pull that off? Count them on my fingers and toes. Residues and structural indicators would have to be rushed away before any analysis could be verified, and let the first responders in to eventually die from toxicity. Aren't those criminal acts? But science found what evidence was left behind. Strong indications and evidence of thermite, then nano thermite, which further narrows down the suspects to one hand. You have put the science together in a convincing manner. I believe that if the science side stays strong in their mission, that the social impact will continue to grow.

Overwhelming physical evidence proves the three buildings were intentionally demolished. Building 7 owner Mr Silverstein is on record saying he gave permission to pull it. Rather than preserve the scene and evidence, the beams were immediately trucked away for recycling. The three top members of the 9-11 commission say their report is a cover-up because the government withheld information, gave false info, under funded the investigation and rushed them to conclude. The truth must be promulgated.

Physics explains how the buildings collapsed. History explains the why. Acknowledging the resources required identifies who. This needn't be technical or complicated, common sense gets to the the same conclusion, it's just hard to accept reality when it's this heinous. Bottom line is, if we can't stop who did this, and bring justice to them, we are too close to being unable to stop what is next.

I've worked on many corporate videos involving many various big name companies involved in the fields of construction and facilities management. I also go down to southern California and work on various Hollywood projects every now and then.
I've documented many buildings, their operations and have, over the years, asked many people, who are building engineers, about the events of 9/11. I hear from both sides and more and more people begin to lean toward the something wasn't right about the event side. I have studied building destruction, for visual effects reasons, and have found that the way the buildings' collapse just doesn't make any real sense. There is something behind all of this that doesn't add up. Too many holes in the 9/11 commission report. I just want, like everyone else on this site and elsewhere, another investigation that just shows the WHOLE truth in written plain black and white American-English. That's all.

I have witnessed controlled demolitions in the past and at my first inclination of watching in present time as the plane struck and then the world trade center building collapse that it resembled a controlled demolition. After getting over the shock of such an incident I was convinced that the buildings were brought down intentionally into what is called their foot print.
Since there were dozens of witnesses, fire fighters as well as citizens who told of explosive devices going off; and then architects and engineers backing up what I was sure of; I was more convinced than ever it was an inside job. I examined material on the internet very closely about Building 7 and the alleged cause was by fires when it was 300 feet from the Twin Towers and I was more convinced than ever it came down by a controlled demolition. How can anyone deny the facts presented by over 1000 Scientists over the political explanations by politicians? It is ludicrous.

Building 7 was separated from WTC 1 and 2 by WTC 5 and 6. I question the official explanation for the collapse of Building 7.

I am a Sculptor of cast and fabricated metal objects.I Recieved my MFA from the university of Texas at Austin, in 1986. Now living in Richmond Virginia, where I maintain a studio and raised 3 children. As Artist /Shaman I have called in and developed a contemporary KwaHu Eagle Kachina the eagle animal protector spirit of America's freedom to help in the struggle to illuminate the truth of 9/11 and to heal the great pain and psychotic split this event has created. KwaHu Eagle first appeared in Charlottesville,Virginia this past 9/11/09 at the freedom of speech wall on the downtown mall. We opened sacred space and held a ceremony of healing and illumination. On the wall we recorded the 5 major signs of explosive demolition as seen in the dissolving of the 3 WTC buildings, on the ground we tied 800 prayer ties in memory of all 9/11 victims. KwaHu Eagle Kachina whose far sight gives insight into the unity of all peoples. May the healing truth prevail. KwaHu Eagle will appear again in Charlottesville this 9/11/10 to conduct a performance of illuminating ceremony, around the events of 9/11/01.
Seems apparent to me that when an event exhibits certain characteristics then those characteristics tell us what caused that event. In the case of the dissolving of the 3 WTC steel buildings on 9/11/01, The 5 major signs of explosive demolition were all present during the destruction of each building: 1)Swift descent of each Building 13.5 secs for each of the twin towers and 6.5 seconds for building 7. 2) volcanic size cloud of dust particles appeared as each building dissolved. 3) multiple explosions/blasting squibs were seen and heard by at least 115 firemen and many others present at the site of destruction. 4) Molten steel was present for many weeks afterward in the basements of the 3 destroyed buildings 5) 99% of the remaining steel fragments all fit nicely on flatbed trucks for ease of removal. On top of that we have active nano thermite present in dust samples collected at the event sites. This extraordinary combination of evidence indicating that all 3 buildings were explosively demolished certainly warrants a full independent investigation immediately!

I too also believe that the three buildings that fell at the world trade center were imploded, with my experience in construction, just looking at the way they came down, there was no way just the airplanes hitting them did this, as a united states citizen i deserve to know the truth about what happened that day, to many of our people and love ones died that day, and if our government did this just to start a war, then we need a total revolution in this country, starting in Washington!!!

I believe the architects and engineers involved with A&E for 911 Truth have demonstrated beyond any doubt that the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 were brought down using controlled demolition. I believe an immediate, unbiased investigation is warranted and must be thoroughly conducted to include all new evidence.

My colleagues were satisfied with the pancake theory in 2002 having no prior experience in structure failures. In 2005 we further thought that documentary material such as Loose Change was very weak and further distanced ourselves from these theories without substance. I then saw the 2 hour Blueprint presentation and some further research which changed my mind. There may be some damage control involved in getting the message out.

I am just a concerned citizen and would like to get the Truth out and to other citizens who flat out deny anything told to them other than the media. Thank you for letting me sign.
I am no professional but I live in Las Vegas and have eye-witnessed the implosion of 5 older casinos and the way the WTC buildings went down were exactly the same to me. Plus building 7 just dropped with no plane hitting it....cant anyone see there is something wrong with what they have been told?

I've been a building contractor for 30 years. Modern skyscrapers are not designed to fall from the sky as World Trade Center 7 did. Nor do they encounter structural failure and collapse from fire. This is nonsense.
The American people deserve transparency and accountability from our government servants. We need a real investigation, not a cover-up. We must follow the science regardless of where it leads us.

BSEE 1979 from the University of New Mexico Retired Aerospace engineer Inventor in transportation arena. I am a trouble shooter and versed in finding the root cause of a failure. I make jewelry and weld and know 2000 degrees pretty well. I am well versed in thermal analysis and the effects of thermal mass.
I got interested because of the polls showing an international opinion of over 50% believing it wasn't terrorists. When I saw this I felt the government had a responsibility to prove the case. When they didn't and wouldn't, I did an investigation of my own. I used my ability to trouble shoot situations where the investigator is even presented with lies, which is often the case, to conclude the buildings did not come down from fire or the damage from planes. The Silvestein interview was the first bad data point concerning the situation. Then I found more than I needed to support my theory beyond any doubt.

I don't believe the official version. Too many inconsistencies to name here. Collapse, dust, thermite, building 7, problem with some of the hijackers found alive although FBI never changed the list, government not revealing more of the video they confiscated of the pentagon, the lack of any evidence of a real plane crash at the pentagon, lack of air support, dick cheney took an unprecedented power just before 911 to control air support and then gave it back in november 2001, etc...

My father was a Civil Engineer. I work in the winter as a Carpenter. In the summer I work with people with disabilities. I have been around construction for most of my life. I have also voluntarily helped adults with learning disabilities most of my life as my younger brother is disabled. I am married with four children, all who know about the three towers. I would be pleased to meet with other United Kingdom Truthers and perhaps organize lectures or talks.
After his visit to America, a doctor friend of mine told me about the demolition theory and WTC7. Although I respect him, I thought he was nuts. However, when I did my own research on the internet and saw WTC7 come down, I was shaken to the core. I was absolutely stunned, horrified and to be quite honest, fearful. I emailed everyone I knew. However, I am stunned by the apathy I find. I feel this has to be the most serious event for the world since the second world war if this is an 'inside job'. We are all victims of disinformation on an Orwellian scale.

Author, free-lance journalist, student of truth. I am a graduate of The Evergreen State College in Washington State, as well as an alumni of The Ohio State University. I have studied 9/11 since the day it occurred and am overjoyed that the A&E's have come out with their expert views. I appreciate the courage it takes to speak the truth, and will continue to do my small part in this huge movement.
I watched the second tower fall. There was never a thought beyond the fact that explosives were used. I have no training or expertise, but that was clear to me. Of course, without training or expertise, who is going to listen to me. That's why I'm so glad the A&E's are speaking out for the rest of us. Bless you all! May truth reign supreme!

I studied architecture and engineering in college before switching over to international relations and economics. I worked as an electrician for 20+ years, including working in modern steel-framed high rise buildings. I am now a full time activist working to educate the public about the truth regarding the events of September 11, 2001.
While I had some concerns about the events of 9/11/01 on that tragic day itself, it was not until I saw the collapse of WTC 7 a few years later that I realized that there were massive problems with the story the government and media were telling the public. I immediately recognized that the destruction of WTC 7 was due to a classic textbook controlled demolition (I had never even heard of this building before) and after a quick review of the destruction of the Twin Towers I realized that their demise was also due to the use of explosives and incendiaries and not just plane impacts and fires. I have been working with Richard Gage and ae911truth.org since before he gave his first presentation.
