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: Professional Engineer
A practicing engineer for 3 decades and an avid student of engineering nearly my entire life, I have analyzed, designed and studied structures of all types, sizes and materials. I have not been directly involved with the design and construction of high rise steel frame, concrete core buildings. However, I have over the years designed steel framed facilities of every sort and have worked on a number of low rise steel and concrete office buildings. I have followed closely the official story of September 11, 2001 with a very keen interest as it pertains to my structural engineering profession.
Since shortly after 9/12/01, I have considered WTC 7 to be an intentional and very well executed controlled demolition. Every bit of evidence I have seen since that day has only solidified this belief. I withheld my opinion about the other WTC buildings until the 'official' building 7 story was released. I had decided that if the NIST report acknowledged the controlled demolition of WTC 7, I would grant latitude to the rest of the report. But it was all or nothing. That is the degree of my certainty about the fate of building 7. The official story of WTC 7 did not conclude it was a controlled demolition. Therefore, I find the entire 'official' NIST report subject to scrutiny. I assume that anything questionable in it is patently false until scientifically proven otherwise to my analytical satisfaction. This is the depth of distrust the building 7 story has created in me.

Occupation: Petroleum Engineer
I graduated with Civil and Environmental Engineering degrees from University of Central Florida. I then worked in a motor oil blending and bottling facility while pursing my M.S. in Environmental Engineering. I did graduate, but decided the field was not for me, so went on to receive an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech in 2014. I went to work for Schlumberger and had a good 5 1/2 years as a Field Engineer, Technical Sales and In-House Engineer for one of our clients. I loved the job, but fell victim to the most recent round of layoffs. My somewhat wide range of Engineering studies, including shaped charges used in perforating well casings, allow me to understand the great material AE911 truth is uncovering.
I find it very sad the country I grew up thinking as fair and just would produce such a shame of an investigation, and deceive the general public using a computer model. The destruction of evidence, filibustering of investigation requests, and guarding model inputs is obviously the product of corruption. Not to mention the collapse physics are just ridiculous to attribute to fire damage. We need to find out how such a catastrophic failure could occur. We paid in blood, and gained nothing. All data from the collapses needs to be shared openly if we are to be truly free.

My opinion regarding the collapse of the twin towers leads me to believe that there were other types of explosives placed within the building superstructures and to be timed to be set off and detonated when the aircraft's smashed into the respective towers. I do not believe that the buildings would have totally collapsed just from the impact of the aircraft. The impact and force would have had to been much greater.

I vividly recall witnessing 9/11 CNN TV's premature announcement the building-7 had 'collapsed'. I did not believe what I was hearing then and to this day I still do not accept that WTC-7 'collapsed'. It is counter to all I know about the strength of modern steel structures. Such buildings do not free-fall even if struck by a jumbo jet. The physics of falling objects in earth's gravitational field do not allow building free-fall unless uniformly 'pulled down' with explosives.

I'd like to know the truth about the 9/11 tragedy, what really transpired within, who shall be responsible for the lives lost, and when will the truth come out? Based on some technical and scientific analysts I've searched and seen on the net (testimonies and videos), it seems that the 9/11 tragedy was planned and executed almost perfectly (before, during, and after). This is evidently shown on the collapse (demolition) of Building 7 and mysterious flight 77 which allegedly hit and damaged the Pentagon. I believe everyone deserves to know the truth.

With a scientific background and a remarkable curious nature, with extensive research and as a writer now, the news events of the WTC destruction make zero sense. This is only one of many areas in my research. To be frank, the amount of data load of nonsense out there (most probably deliberate), makes it more difficult for the general public to find the facts from legitimate experts when there is an overload of videos from 'what I call - famesters - clowns or eejets'. I am interested in facts and currently considering how to present many legitimate ideas to the Irish general public (opposed to mainstream TV which consistently bombards the Irish people with the press releases) - it's hugely distressing and extremely sad.

Worked for 6 years in Ireland, where I gained my Chartered Engineers status. I worked primarily on the design of steel frame buildings. I took a huge interest in the fireproofing of these in the wake of 9/11 and quickly began to realise that this simply could not be the cause of the buildings collapse.Since leaving Ireland for Vancouver, BC, I worked as a project engineer for a large ports and marine design consultant.
I have over 10 years experience in designing concrete and steel framed buildings. To date I have only seen the destruction the likes of that seen on the 11th of September 2001 in a controlled demolition. I have experience with controlled demolition and it bears all the hallmarks of a controlled explosion, all three buildings.If it is the case that building 7 collapsed due to fire from office furnishings, why isn't there an immediate investigation into why our design/building codes are insufficient for buildings of this type. This is the most damning evidence off all in my opinion. If the claim that the fire from office furnishing created enough heat to melt steel then I'm afraid every steel framed office/residential building across the globe is at risk, with the high probability of significant loss of life.

We need a full, independent, impartial, public investigation into how and why Building 7 collapsed. Small fires at one side of the building (and no fire at the other side) can not be the cause of it coming down uniformly and at free fall acceleration. - - - - There is overwhelming evidence that explosives were used and this must be investigated rather than being seemingly covered up. - - - - For the safety of present and future generations, we must know what happened.

Jet fuel burning does not create heat sufficient to weaken or soften steel. Building #7 was never struck yet it magically caught on fire, 2 blocks away, and fell as if demolished.

I've followed the investigations of Dr. Steven Earl Jones who was the first to find physical and chemical evidence of explosives for controlled demolition. I found in January of 2002 one of the first blogs in Argentina about the events.

They way the towers fell does not follow the laws of physics. Localized asymmetrical damage does not cause symmetrical failure. The way the three buildings collapsed are more controlled than catastrophic failure.

Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means. The American public needs to be informed. We have been caught up in a massive disinformation campaign and are suffering from an identity crisis. We can no longer remain deaf, dumb and blind to this.

I have seen films showing controlled demolitions. But the collaps of building 7 is the most perfect controlled demolition I have ever seen. So symmetric. Building 7 did not collaps due to normal office fires. In Spain and China skyscrapers did not collaps, eventhough the fire was much worse. Don't tell me that american engineers don't know how to construct buildings properly, because I would not believe you. Did building 7 collaps because of shoddy construction work?I doubt it! The authorities would never allow that. We need an investigation!

I have been designing power systems and components for 25 years at various divisions of Lockheed Martin. I was responsible for the design and development of switching power supplies for satellite communication and space shuttle systems at Astro-Space Division in Princeton NJ. I performed detailed design and analysis of high-density DC-to-DC converters. I was involved in all aspects of power converter design including part selection, control loop theory, magnetic design, PSPICE analysis, thermal management and EMI suppression to meet MIL-461. I advanced to a technical lead position at Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems Division in Moorestown, NJ to design power systems for AEGIS shipboard radars. There I defined system architectures to achieve high performance at low cost. I also designed energy storage components to support pulse loads and power distribution configurations for high reliability. I transferred to Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, FL to develop new high-density energy storage capacitors. Prior to Lockheed Martin, I was developing power systems for computer and peripheral commercial products at Formation Inc in Moorestown, NJ. There, I specified AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC power modules for distributed hot swappable (n+1) redundant power systems. I was involved with computing reliability using MIL-HDBK-217F, and assured products met safety agency UL, CSA, and TUV requirements. I have written many papers related to power conversion and system configurations. I have four patents related to power electronics and thermal management systems. I have a BSEE from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.
I believe that on 911 the towers were hit by hijacked planes but it was the thermite activated at the base of the structures that made the building collapse. Building 7, the third tower that fell that day, made it even more obvious.

I have no answers, but there are far too many unanswered questions concerning the engineering details of the events leading to the collapse of three steel and concrete structures - that fell (at near free-fall rates) within their own footprints. How could this happen? No one has come close to answering those questions to the satisfaction of any knowledgeable engineer. It simply 'doesn't compute' to people familiar with the supposed process. I do not believe the stories that were floated - they were 'made up' by people who did not appreciate the information that engineers could extract by studying the videos of 9/11.

BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have extensive experience with CAD and CNC programming, project management and mentoring, new product design and testing, thermocouples and data collection equipment, metal fabrication processes, and heat transfer of various metal applications. I have taken classes in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and have general knowledge and understanding of the physics involved in a building collapse.
I become interested in 9/11 on 9/11/2012. I happened to be watching videos of the attacks online and found a video of building 7 coming down. As I watched the way it collapsed, I knew something didn't look right. As I dug a little deeper into all 3 towers, I began to realize that the official story was anything but true. The observation of molten steel pouring from the towers is particularly interesting to me because I work with steel on a daily basis in a metal fabrication plant. It is deeply troubling that NIST has denied the fact that molten steel was present before, during and after the collapse. The presence of molten steel is evidence that this collapse was not natural since jet fuel can't achieve 2,700 deg. F in open air. Then we saw the pyroclastic-like clouds of pulverized concrete and hot gas mix rise into the air like we saw during the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. We saw buildings coming down at free fall acceleration, symmetrically down to the ground. The discovery of thermite in the dust samples only proves this further. In my opinion NIST and many other organizations and departments have deliberately ignored and covered up the evidence of explosives and molten steel in those buildings. What disturbs me the most is that the scientific and engineering community including my own peers and colleagues, have refused to examine the evidence and have turned their back on the truth. Shame on those who are supposed to be role models and leaders of this country for doing nothing, for fear of damaging their reputation or compromising their wealth or social status. And shame on the members of the media who carry the responsibility of reporting the truth to the American people, but instead have spread lies, disinformation and propaganda. I sincerely hope that more people will join in and fight for the truth. It's the least we can do for all the lives lost on 9/11 and as a result of 9/11.

I remember September 11, 2001 very clearly. I had the day off from working as a substitute teacher and I heard on the radio about something happening in New York City. I turned on the television in time to see both towers on fire. I remember shortly afterwards watching as the first of the towers started crumbling. I screamed at Peter Jennings (ABC News anchor) - who seemed oblivious to the building coming down on the screen behind him - to turn around and see what was happening. When the other tower came down a little while later, I was in complete shock. I stayed glued to the television all that day and remember distinctly commentators talking about another building that they thought would be coming down soon. And, sure enough, it came down. (As I learned later that building was WTC 7.) I was still in shock but I can distinctly remember saying to myself over and over, 'I didn't know buildings came down like that.'I didn't give the subject much thought after that. I remember starting to watch a NOVA documentary 'Why The Towers Fell' like a year after the events. The explanation seemed plausible but it made me feel uncomfortable watching it and I turned it off. A few years later a student told me about the 'Loose Change' video and I showed some parts of the video in my History of World War II class in conjunction with a discussion about the controversy surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor. I remember trying to keep an open mind about the 'Loose Change' video but I was turned off by the sensationalistic nature of the film and the questionability of many of its claims.It wasn't until the summer of 2013 - while I was searching online for documentaries for a class on East Asian Studies that I was preparing - that my eyes were opened to what actually happened on 9/11. I was looking at the website topdocumentaryfilms.com and the site had a Documentary Category called '9/11.' At first I avoided clicking it, thinking there would be more videos like 'Loose Change.' But after about a month I decided to go ahead and click it to see what was there. The first documentary I watched was 'Hy.poth.e.sis' (2010) recounting Prof. Steven Jones's story. I remember saying 'What the f*** is this?' This was nothing like 'Loose Change'! I was immediately hooked and look at all the 9/11 videos on topdocumentaryfilms.com and then went out looking for more. I shortly thereafter found Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth as well as all the good work of so many others. The summer of 2013 was truly an epiphany for me and my life has not been the same ever since. Everything makes much more sense now.

I was a field engineer at Geostabilization for 1 year, and was a civil engineering technician at Montana Department of Transportation as a summer internship.
It is hard to believe that the towers could collapse perfectly like they did...unless there were explosives used.

I absolute do not believe in the official version on 9/11 unless the 3rd tower fell down just for friendness to the other two.

A practicing engineer for 3 decades and an avid student of engineering nearly my entire life, I have analyzed, designed and studied structures of all types, sizes and materials. I have not been directly involved with the design and construction of high rise steel frame, concrete core buildings. However, I have over the years designed steel framed facilities of every sort and have worked on a number of low rise steel and concrete office buildings. I have followed closely the official story of September 11, 2001 with a very keen interest as it pertains to my structural engineering profession.
Since shortly after 9/12/01, I have considered WTC 7 to be an intentional and very well executed controlled demolition. Every bit of evidence I have seen since that day has only solidified this belief. I withheld my opinion about the other WTC buildings until the 'official' building 7 story was released. I had decided that if the NIST report acknowledged the controlled demolition of WTC 7, I would grant latitude to the rest of the report. But it was all or nothing. That is the degree of my certainty about the fate of building 7. The official story of WTC 7 did not conclude it was a controlled demolition. Therefore, I find the entire 'official' NIST report subject to scrutiny. I assume that anything questionable in it is patently false until scientifically proven otherwise to my analytical satisfaction. This is the depth of distrust the building 7 story has created in me.

Numerous physical evidence casts doubt on the official review of the events of 9/11. Because of such discrepancies, the collapse of the buildings on 9/11 warrants further technical review.

I can't believe how scary it is to say it, but it needs to be said: skyscrapers do not fall down at free fall acceleration rates. When the towers fell I was an undergraduate in college and barely into the engineering curriculum. By September 12th I knew something was incredibly wrong.

From my experience and knowledge of explosives, the failure of all three high-rise structures exhibit characteristics of demolition by explosives and not failure by fire.

Video suggests building 7 collapsed due to structural failure at or near ground level and in a totally controlled manner. A normal fire alone could not cause this. I would imagine it is very unlikely aviation fuel in such a quantity from the crashed aircraft would find its way to building 7 and fuel any fire.The adjacent towers had a totally different failure mechanism

It's all a bit creepy. You wouldn't want to think that information on such destruction would be hidden for any reason. But time and time again we have seen the public's interest take a back seat to that of corporations. The government would rather thoroughly investigate the lives of our citizens than revisit the cryptic events surrounding 9/11.

When a thorough job of reviewing the evidence is undertaken, it is obvious that the citizens of the United States and individuals the world over have been misled as to the real cause of the building collapses on 9/11. We need a genuine investigation conducted into the real cause of this tragedy.

The tragedy of 9/11 has been used to drive our nation into war and circumscribe the personal freedoms of the American people. The conclusions of the government investigation do not account for all of the phenomena reported, so the current explanation is incomplete and the investigation must be reopened.
