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.

Over 25 years experience in civil engineering and construction (mostly public works). Project Manager for Federal Demonstration Project and two APWA/Southern California award-winning projects in West Hollywood, California. Also served as Project Manager for a fire sprinkler subcontractor on building projects in Houston, Texas (including high-rise buildings in Houston and San Antonio).
The fact that both towers collapsed in their footprints, without any toppling of the upper floors, clearly indicates controlled demolition as the cause of the buildings' collapse, rather than structural failure. In my opinion, the collapse of the south tower (WTC 2) illustrates this idea most clearly. The airplane which hit this tower entered the south wall, and wreckage can be seen in the videos exiting the east wall. As a result, one would expect the damage to be worse near the southeast corner of the building, and any structural collapse should have occurred first at this corner. This should have resulted in the upper floors toppling toward the southeast. However, videos of the building's collapse clearly show it failing in a more or less symmetrical manner. - - - - In contrast, the north tower (WTC 1) was hit by the first airplane in the north wall, at almost a perpendicular angle to the north wall. And yet, the upper floors of this building leaned toward the south as the building collapsed. - - - - Likewise, there are two failure phenomena which cannot be explained by the pancake collapse theory. First, video of the collapse of the north tower shows the upper floors (approx. 10 stories) toppling toward the south. Yet, instead of falling to the ground relatively intact (as they should have done with no structure supporting them from beneath at that point, and nothing pressing down on them from above), they mysteriously disintegrated in mid-air. What forces (other than explosives) could have caused this? - - - - Second, a video exists which shows part of the inner core of the north tower still standing prior to the south tower's collapse. And yet, with only minor debris falling on it from the south tower, the remaining core structure disintegrates. Unless the video is faked (and I have seen no evidence of this), what would have caused the remaining core structure to collapse?

After receiving my degree I started working as a private consultant in environmental industry. My task consisted of assessing hazardous waste sites and determining how best to clean them up. After doing that for 13 years I transitioned into state service where I was responsible for reviewing environmental reports for technical adequacy and compliance with state and federal regulation. I currently have 30 years experience in the environmental field.
There were too many unanswered questions and/or poorly answered ones about how the trade towers and Bld 7 collapsed that forced me to reevaluate the official explanation. I've begun to understand that the reason people view people like me as conspiracy 'nuts' has nothing to do with impossibility of a multistory building, let alone three of them, collapsing into their own footprints unless it's by planned demolition. Rather it has everything to do with the inability to accept that our government, or rogue elements within our government, may have had anything to do with it. When that fact is accepted as a possibility, then everything else falls into place.

I began my career in the 1980's as a Structurally Certified Welder and held various welding positions in a shop fabrication environment. I received my B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 1993 with an emphasis in Structural Engineering. I have several years experience in Municipal Engineering and site design and 10+ Years experience in the structural design of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures of steel, concrete, masonry and timber.
For me the most convincing aspect that the 911 collapse was a controlled demolition is the recorded explosions on the 9/11 Eyewitness DVD. The explosions, along with the uniformity and totality of the collapses, when added to the 100's of so-called coincidences on, before and after that day, add up to more evidence of a Government involved crime than has convicted most people in our prisons today.

I have a degree in mechanical engineering and I always worked for the motorcycle industry, designing structural and non structural chassis and body components such as frames, forks and clamps, swing arms and links, tanks, carriers, fairings, fenders, air boxes and exhaust pipes and mufflers etc.
As an engineer I feel very ashamed that I believed the official version for more than a decade, without asking myself any questions. Then I saw the documentaries by Massimo Mazzuco and I understood what should be so obvious to any normal person who is not completely hypnotized by mainstream media. As a human being I feel very ashamed that, as a western citizen, I let my government contribute to the nonsense military operations that followed 9/11. I substantially let the horrors happen without saying anything. May God forgive me.

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 watched the Towers fall on September 11th and I knew something wasn't right from the start. I had worked for a Architectural/Engineering firm while attending the University of Minnesota. I tried to find all the information I could, and talk to people who I thought would question what happened. In the early days of 2001-2002, it was hard going to find people who would listen. I didn't give up, and as new material surfaced I used it to show people. Needless to say I have converted a lot of folks.

Although I ended with an business degree, I took all the core engineering courses while in college. I actually had more engineering credits than business, so I know engineering. I worked in the drilling business and learned much about steel structures such as derrick and their potential causes of collapse.
The data is overwhelming that a controlled demolition occurred. The lack of resistance from the lower intact structure as the building fell, the explosions and molten steel that are not explained, the evidence of prior knowledge, all point to controlled demolition. The only question would be one of motive, but after also experiencing the lies that got the U.S.A. into the Iraq war, it seems obvious that military presence in the Middle East by whatever means necessary was imperative for the Bush Administration

The authors are stating the obvious, the unthinkable. Controlled demolition of three occupied high rise steel-frame office buildings. The pain of acknowledging this is almost too much to bear. Those who perpetrated and profited from this horrific crime should be removed from power, forever.

I am a 62 year-old citizen who is currently an insurance inspector, and I am one who loves my country dearly. However, I do not like what I see going on with the current administration. The lust for power over everyone in this country, and the world, has got to be stopped. It isn't necessarily OUR president, but people who are behind the scenes (international bankers who control the FED) who need to be corralled and taken OUT of the picture. When does anyone start talking about those who schemed to take over our money supply in 1913?????? WHEN??
am a citizen who, without any doubt in my mind, believes that the very top leaders of our government designed the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Towers for the purpose of getting the Patriot Act pushed through Congress, when the members of Congress did not even have a copy to read before voting for this insane piece of legislation. This act of terror was, I believe, intended to install absolute FEAR in the minds of the American people so they would believe that their Government HAD to pass these new laws in order to protect us from any further such attacks. I will be willing to whatever I can to help disseminate the truth of this despicable and unforgivable act on this country, and I want to see those involved in this conspiracy brought to justice. If determined to be treason, then death should be their sentence. Nothing less will be considered satisfactory if that be the case.

Like many other people I was traumatized by the events of 9/11. I remember watching the WTC 1, 2, and WTC 7 building collapses on TV as they occurred and thinking life as we know it is over. This website revealed numerous key points I was not aware of. WTC 7 was CLEARLY a Controlled Demolition, and it's likely that WTC 1, 2 were also. The evidence is overwhelming that the government is lying.
