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 graduated in 2001 from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. During my undergrad education I also interned at a civil engineering firm called V-structural. The company was responsible for making concrete Post Tension (PT) parking garages, bridges and various other large load bearing structures. I graduated from Air Force pilot training in September 2003 and became a KC-135 pilot. I served in the Air Force for 16 years deploying 17 times over the course of my career racking up 3,000+ combat hours in OEF, OIF and OND. While I was in the military I obtained a Masters in Aeronautical Science with an emphasis on Airport Operations from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Worldwide University. I've completed multiple professional military leadership courses to include compartmentalized classified programs and nuclear OPLAN certifications. Additionally, I served under the highest levels of leadership at Air Mobility Command (AMC) Headquarters in the A3 Operations Division and United States Transportation (USTRANSCOM). I hold FAA licenses of an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) and am a Certified Flight Instrument Instructor (CFI/CFII). I am currently employed as a First Officer at a legacy airline with a qualification on a Boeing 737-700/800/900.
The publicly accepted narrative is a complete farce. The idea that an airplane with a finite amount of jet fuel heated tempered structural steel resulting in the free fall collapse of two towers is intellectually insulting and appalling. The fact that many people are unaware that the third financial building, WTC-7, collapsed under the same free fall acceleration (because of debris?!?!) with a BBC reporter commenting on its demise having the building in full view behind her is proof our government has been lying to us about the attack all along. There are too many questions unanswered to unequivocally prove that the attacks on 9/11 were committed by flunky pilot 'terrorists' with virtually no flying experience navigating a precise path at a high velocity into three buildings. A virtually IMPOSSIBLE flight path for a large aircraft to make such an approach into the Pentagon also disproves this garbage of a narrative.

I worked after (and even now) in the technical service of a town in the suburbs of Paris. My work : studies for new projects, heritage buildings and also all perils in the town and decisions to assure the security of inhabitants and repair the construction.
In the years after 911 events, I thought that all I read in professional reviews and French newspapers was true. The first time I understood that it was impossible was when I saw a film about the collapse of WTC7. I have seen before a controlled demolition of a flat near Paris, and it was the same ! I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

With no other crime would we sweep it up and come to a determination quickly so as to bypass a proper forensic investigation. This is the death of thousands of people. They deserve our due diligence. As well, the official report of what happened that day, defies what I understand of the physical world, cause and reaction.

I never worked as a materials engineer except for two co-ops during school. I found work in the shipbuilding industry and subsequently received a master's in computer science (Univ. of New Haven) and I have worked as a planner/scheduler and computer programmer.
I bought and read the 911 Commission Report a few years ago. After I learned about WTC 7 and saw the footage of it collapsing I began to have serious doubts about the official story.

My 1984 PhD dissertation was The Political Economy of US Policy Toward South Africa. I have written or edited 13 books on the global economy, US foreign policy, and the green economy movement. I have lectured at hundreds of colleges and community groups across the country, and I have made many appearances on radio and television.
I have spent many hours with books, websites, films and photos from 9-11 and I am thoroughly convinced that the official story is not accurate. The part that makes me saddest is that even though so many Americans have been watching TV shows about CSI (crime scene investigation) and know that standard procedure at a crime scene is that yellow police tape surrounds the crime scene and NO ONE touches any evidence, yet on 9-11 the evidence was removed and destroyed. And the American people who watch CSI shows did not rise up in anger at this blatant violation of standard operating procedure.

I have both a BS & MS in Electronics Engineering. For these degrees I also studied the mechanics of materials, and other engineering level courses applicable to buildings.
It is obvious from many different disciplines that the 3 sky scrapers were brought down by controlled demolition. The official story is a flat outright lie. I want to know the actual story, and who is hiding the truth. The guy who insured the 3 buildings in NY made out like a bandit. Bush and Cheney got their wars, at the expense of many US lives, not to mention the lives in the countries he attacked.

WTC Building 7's planned and triggered collapse (via controlled demolition) at approx. 5pm on the same day as the twin towers collapse is sufficient evidence that the twin towers themselves were also set up for controlled demolition. It is impossible to install explosives into WTC Tower 7 (on the same day) to then 'pull it' down.

I had 2 years of drafting in high school and two more years in a program called Building Construction Technology in Collage. I've also spent 3 year in industrial construction and 10 more in residential construction.
There is overwhelming evidence of misconduct on the part of the NIST in the investigation as a whole. Except for 4 frames, information from the 80 plus camera's that were confiscated, which showed the flight crashing into the Pentagon, has been withheld from the public. Washington's story is in conflict with the many documented eye witness accounts. The circumstantial evidence of a conspiracy to commit crime and the questions that have never been answered satisfactorily to the general public warrants a new investigation under oath.

The evidence the towers were deliberately detonated is encyclopedic in volume and cannot be dismissed.The implications are many.I would be stunned to see you prove these architects and engineers are incorrect. The buildings could not have fallen at that speed into their own footprints unless they were detonated.There was no logical explanation (other than detonation ) for the 3rd tower to have come down.No skyscraper has ever toppled before or since because it was struck by a jet.Nothing jets could carry other than a nuclear bomb could bring the towers down (but that would not have been an orderly collapse!).Steel cannot melt at the temperatures that could have been reached without other means of deployment.There has been inadequate investigation and reporting done on the subject.No alternative opinion.

I have been tested by Mensa that shows my IQ to be in the 95 Percentile. I like to think that is why I never believed any of the official statements that came out about 9/11.
I never believed from day one that the fall of all the towers were anything but a controlled demolition. It just could not happen that way.

Any one person presented with numerous video, photo, and factual findings that still believes WTC buildings feel as a result plane crashes or fires (specifically building 7 of the world trade center) may be truly under some sort of a brainwashing by the U.S. government and mass media.

I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded, that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used to ignite war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice movement only address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used to justify the flames of war and repression at home and abroad. We must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth.
