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.

It is clear that there is much more to be learned than the 9/11 Commission report. Currently, many people justifiably believe that that report is in the same class as the Warren Commission report: a fraud. Because of this, many people are skeptical of all government activities. If, after a real investigation, the facts support the 9/11 Commission story, nothing could be more healing. If they don't, appropriate changes need to occur. And that could only be for the better. Clearly, the presence of molten steel and witness reports of explosions prior to airplane impacts or building collapse demand more research to either verify this explosive information, or debunk it with data.

Even as a lay person, there were parts of the official explanation that did not make full sense to me. Over time, my attention was brought to the various documentaries such as In Plane Sight and Loose Change. I have never been satisfied with the conclusions around JFK's assassination either. Both situations tear me apart because I don't want to be any kind of zealot or conspiracy theorist and I deplore thinking domestic entities regard us as expendable, yet there is evidence and/or the lack thereof which I cannot sanely ignore.

Occupation: Structural Engineer
I have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from West Virginia University. I graduated in 2007 and obtained my PE license in 2012. I have been working as a structural engineer for the same company since 2007. I design commercial, athletic, multi-family residential apartments and hotel low rise structures. The structures that I have designed include materials such as but not limited to: Steel, timber, concrete, masonry and light gauge.
After reading the NIST report on WTC building 7 it was clear that there was no way that building could fall at 'free fall' acceleration due to the failure of one column that bore a transfer beam. It's true that fire can cause steel to change it's structural yield point and maybe some of the connections could be compromised due to the fires but even if that whole column were to have vanished in thin air, the whole building would not have collapsed like it did.

I do not believe the official story whatsoever. There is ample evidence indicating a conspiracy has occurred. Evidence includes scientific testing of dust showing thermite like chemicals found at the site. Also, the buildings, including number seven, all fell with acceleration close to free fall indicating controlled demolition.

I have over 25 years of refining and petroleum engineering and project management and construction experience. I graduated with a BSCE degree from Montana State University in 1982. I was also a nuclear reactor operator in the US Navy prior to college. Although my degree is in Civil engineering, my career has centered on multi-discipline engineering design and the project management required for developing surface oil production facilities or refinery modification and expansion projects. I currently work for an engineering consulting firm in the Pacific Northwest. I have completed engineering projects for most of the major oil companies during my career. Typical projects range in capital cost from $5MM to $40MM.
The destruction of the WTC buildings had to be accomplished by a well-planned, designed and engineered controlled demolition. Richard Gage does an excellent job in identifying key physical evidence to prove controlled demolition was used to destroy all three WTC towers. The evidence he presents can be intuitively grasped by ordinary people and should be even more convincing to engineers experienced with the physics and engineering mechanics.

I want to know the truth on how those towers collapsed, and I want to have those responsible to appear in a courtroom, and admit what they did, to take full responsibility for killing thousands of innocent people, and why they did it, for what gain could they accomplish. I want to know if it really was terrorists who attacked us, and if not then who was it? I want to know how, why, and who caused this to happen.

I am not a professionally trained Architect or Engineer although I have been in an Administrative position in the Architectural and Construction fields for the past 5 1/2 years.
I am very concerned about the physical evidence presented in this A/E for 9/11 Truth Video. I am also concerned that eyewitness statements have been edited, removed or retracted. I don't think that the professionals listed here on this website, that are presenting this evidence, would do so recklessly, putting their careers and reputations on the line, if they didn't feel strongly that the story that has been relayed to the world, is in fact full of inconsistencies.

WTC 7 was clearly controlled demolition. As for the two towers, I have looked at the floor plans available on-line, the construction photos and articles about their construction from old engineering magazines, and the videos of their collapse. The official explanation falls woefully short in fully explaining how gravity alone, after the impact and fires had done their work, could cause the top 1/6 of the North Tower, by far the lightest 1/6, to collapse and crush the remaining 5/6 of the tower into a pile of rubble only a few dozen feet high in less than 15 seconds.

Ever since watching the building collapses on CNN live, I have always had a feeling that the official reasons given were untrue. I also remember the Pentagon was apparently hit by a commercial aircraft but the evidence found at the scene could not support the official story. The visual evidence seen on TV contradicts the conclusions given by all official sources. The truth will set us free...

It is from my point of view obvious that the buildings didn't went down this way by them selves in the law of physics. Very interesting that this subject has grown this big and constantly gaining attention. I hope they will put out a documentary about this in Sweden, we have (I hope) a free speech television here.

9/11 to me (and a few select friends) is nothing but an attempt by the government to try and change and reform our society. I believe that the towers did not collapse on their own, but were however brought down by controlled demolition.
