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 have graduated with a Chemical Engineering degree from Purdue University. I've been an Engineering intern at Dow Corning for the summer of 2008. I am starting my career as a technical adviser with Honeywell.
The 9/11 investigation must be reopened. Thousands of Americans and millions of people worldwide have been killed due to our war-driven national foreign policy, a policy that was based on the inaccuracy of the initial investigation. A more accurate investigation will identify our real enemy. This will lead America to true safety without sacrificing our brave men and women.

Twenty four years professional experience in construction and structural engineering.
Main points that visually convince: collapse of penthouse and tower structure before lower areas; explosions in lower floors well below collapsing areas; free fall of structure without resistance. Also other evidence re melted steel, sound of explosions AND clearly, the sheer lack of acknowledgement of these facts in the official report.

I earned one degree in engineering physics, and a graduate degree in nuclear engineering.
It is clear from my own research into the matter that the government is not telling us the whole story about 9/11. This does not imply 9/11 was a government conspiracy, but it does mean that important facts are being withheld from a public that has a right to know them. I believe the focus should be on Building 7, which underwent a symmetrical collapse that did not account for the mass resistance of the vertical pillars that were designed to hold the building up in the first place.

I'm a political activist who is aware of all the unexplained events that happened on 9/11 (especially Building 7), and I would like to take action so that all these events are investigated by real government scientists.
All that damage could have not been created by just 2 airplanes flying into the Towers. And, nothing hit Building 7, yet it fell anyway. There's a lot of doubts as to what really happened that day.

Occupation: Structural Engineer
I have a masters degree in civil engineering with an emphasis on structural design. I've been working as a structural engineer since 2002. Most of the designs that I do have to withstand hurricane and earthquake forces. I have vast design experience in buildings, although not in skyscrapers because there aren't many of them here in Puerto Rico. I've designed coliseums for several thousand people, utility buildings, steel and concrete tanks, and more. My client list includes big pharmaceutical companies like Baxter and Abbott, and Puerto Rico's top construction companies like CIC Construction, Bermudes and Logo, Aireko, and others.
It was a controlled demolition and we all have been lied to about what happened that day: about how the towers and building 7 were brought down. The evidence is overwhelming.

Beulah, ND
Occupation: Aircraft Mechanic
I retired from the Air Force over thirty years ago after serving 20 years. I was trained as a B-52 mechanic. During my service as an airplane mechanic, one of our duties was to clean up after an airplane crash which I did after 3 B-52's crashed in Washington state. So, I am familiar with what a crash site looks like. Also I worked in the Pentagon for four years and am somewhat familiar with the security there.
Through the years I have always been interested in viewing large structures that were demolished. The twin towers and building 7 in my opinion were brought down by specialists. Anyone can see that building 7 was a classic pull. The pentagon photos do not show where the wings along with the engines would have hit. It is very difficult to believe that this large airliner would totally disappear into that hole. And where are the other videos from the pentagon?

COO Historic Restoration Inc, New Orleans, responsible for 200 men in the field all mid rise housing, etc Also served as President and CEO of Materials Management Group New Orleans. Hazardous waste contractor. I was RME for the hazardous waste contractor's license 1991 and we supervised HazMat operations on controlled demolition of seven grain silos on banks of Mississippi river to keep asbestos out of the river.
I have viewed every video, photograph etc I could access; many of them several times. I cannot believe that airplane crashes and open fires resulted in the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7. My reasoning is based on the undeniable appearance of any number of squibs, the vertical collapses, the pulverization of structure and building contents, impossible to achieve via structural failure, the speed of the collapse, the production of and weeks-long persistence of molten steel impossible to produce in an open burn, the inexplicable failure of the core columns and of the welded and bolted two way floor trusses,The failure of the steel frame core trusses. the total failure of fire protection (My partner in MMG was Ret. Navy Commander William Scott, PE, former president of national Asbestos Association, I believe until 1989 or 90) the pyroclastic discharge, the photos of heat-cut stubs of massive columns with molten metal running down them, some steel members perfectly distorted into semi-circles, the multi ton steel beams and column pieces stuck into nearby buildings, performance of the tower in the 1975 fire, the statements of any number of highly credible engineers and physicists, the statements of credible eye witnesses including many public safety personnel, the rush to remove evidence, the lack of any real investigation, the 911 commission report... i believe that any one of these things would indicate a need for unbiased investigation to ascertain the truth of the matter. I don't know the truth of the matter, but I strongly support an in depth investigation. Thank you.

I am a New Yorker living in North Carolina. I was driving through the City the day before the tragedy. I am not satisfied with the current explanation of events of that day.
The building collapses have not been explained to my satisfaction. Furthermore, building 7 is NEVER addressed. Why? Could it be there IS NO explanation that any normal, thinking person can accept as factual? Building 7 is ripe for investigation, yet none is launched. Why?

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 20 years experience. I have always been very mechanically inclined. My father was an Mechanical Engineer. My brother is an engineer. (Both with more education though)
I have read as much as I could stand of the FEMA and NIST reports on the collapse of building one and two. Basically I can believe that there is no way that these buildings would have fallen by any other way than demolition. I just want to put it all together to show other people who are in Engineering. ( and friends) 1. One fact I state to people are the speeds at which the buildings fell. All of the structure under the initial start of collapse would have to be removed to achieve almost free fall speeds. 2. The other thing I like to mention is the fact that every structural joint at each floor would have to fail at the same time to fall so straight and fast. I show people that there are 68 joints per floor, not including beams that connect from an inner or outer column on one side and to another beam on the other. Only because once the beam that is connected to both an inner and outer column fails, the beams attached to it will lose their connection. I try to tell them that you would need a consistent fire temperature on the entire floor to have a consistent failure. I do not beleive this is possible unless you have the structure in a oven. 3. The temperatures of the fires are a huge part of being able to show people there is something wrong with the official story. Very conveniently NIST states that the temperatures of the fires were 1100 degrees F. I looked up the basic strength of structural steel in just the Machinery Handbook. It shows funny enough that the steel strengthens up to 400 degrees F. Still stronger than 100 % at approx. 500-600 degrees F. It has only a 20-30 % strength at 1100 degrees F. (no fire proofing) If it actually reached that temperature (1100 deg) there may be sagging. But consistently? With only 20-30 % strength I believe the structures could sag. I do not believe that temperature was achieved. What temperature does jet fuel burn at? I heard around 500 degrees F. If a jet fuel fire was fanned by air? Is there a website that would show this? The fire would dissipate quickly as throwing a match into gasoline. I figure the only thing burning after the dissipation of the jet fuel would be the office furniture fuel. I am thinking that all that furniture is more flame retardant in a high rise building.

I am a 40 year old, recently remarried homemaker and mother of 2 older teenagers. I have been a homemaker for the better part of the past 20 years. I graduated high school in Bogota, NJ in 1985. My interests involve learning all that I can about the truths behind recent events in our American history, as well as learning about natural health & wellness. It is my goal to help others to see the truths that lie before them. The truth is out there, if you just open your eyes and look.
After the truth has been revealed to me, there is no doubt in my mind that these buildings were brought down in the manner described by those affiliated with AE911Truth.com and several other related to uncovering the truths about that fateful day.

College student in Chicago. I was shown a 2 hour film my senior year of high school entitled The Great Illusion that changed the way I view this country, the people who run it and those of us whom falsely believe that we are free...after viewing the number of documentaries on the subject, my only conclusion is that our government has deceived us, has been deceiving us, and has an unfathomable amount of power over us due to this fact...mutual fear brings peace!
I cannot believe that more people haven't been vocal about this from the beginning.

When I first saw the buildings come down something just didn't add up. It's almost as if it was planned that the buildings were to come down. On the news you could see the fear in the faces of the people running away from the crumbling (exploding) buildings, it's as if there was more to what we were seeing than what the media was reporting. On the faces of the people you could see fear caused by explosions rather than just crumbling buildings.
