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.

In October 2018, I viewed the video '9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out' and, as an engineer with over 34 years of experience conducting engineering investigations, designs, and construction, I was appalled by the inadequate scientific and forensic investigation conducted to evaluate the 9/11 building collapses. The observational data alone easily disproves the collapse theory put forth by the U.S. government. The citizens of the U.S. deserve a full and open investigation with the entire process peer-reviewed by appropriate unbiased experts.

BS Engineering, Arizona State University, 1989. I am a mechanical engineer specializing in industrial ventilation and filtration systems. Early in my career I worked in the design and erection of steel elevated water tanks and pedestrian bridges. I then became a filtration system specialist, working with process equipment in numerous industries including cement, lime, and steel. I've visited and worked on projects in more than 35 countries. I have also conducted technical seminars regarding design, operation and troubleshooting of ventilation systems. I am known to have the ability to explain complex technical subjects to non engineers (plant personnel) in simple language. I'm perfectly fluent in English and Spanish.
From the day 9/11 happened, my intuition was that the twin towers could not collapse the way they did without explosives. These buildings did not fall, they clearly exploded. As for building 7, it's almost comical how Mr. Shyam Sunder from NIST is able to keep a straight face when presenting the official story. He's likely the best paid actor in the acting business. Or his knowledge of this subject can be used to put all of the demolition companies and experts out of business.

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.

Always thought there was something fishy about this. If there is nothing to hide, then why are they hiding everything? Originally from Maine, I grew up in a somewhat conservative family and when I could vote for the first time I voted for Nixon. History has shown that I made a massive mistake and feel I owe George McGovern an apology for believing Nixon's lies about him, especially after reading about McGovern's WWII bomber pilot exploits in Stephen Ambrose's excellent book 'The Wild Blue'. While discussing politics with a conservative friend, he asked me how my political views could change from being conservative to Liberal. My response was I got an education. That's what we need here. We need to learn the truth, educate people, and take steps to ensure this never happens again. Remember The Maine!

Earlier in my career, I have worked for a City government for 3 years and two different industries. For the last 34 years, I am engaged in my own Engineering firm. Even though my degree and my specialty is electrical, most of my work and income relates to the structural discipline (within expertise limits -- i.e., no high rises, schools, parking structures, etc.) I've worked with and can deal with all materials: soils, wood, masonry, reinf. concrete, steel, aluminum. I've even done forensics; 1 elect., 2 struct.
Well, I haven't read the official report. But I have watched many of the conspiracy theory videos. Also, I distinctly remember, nearly 9 years ago on the news report(s), the symmetrical collapse of BOTH towers, then the very underplayed (by comparison to the towers) PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL collapse of Building 7. I thought at the time of controlled demolition and, by extension, an inside job. The gov's intent is to move on, but too many unresolved issues deserve proper focus, before all die.

The TV clips showing explosive ejection of dust, together with photographs showing steel girders embedded in neighboring buildings are proof that the collapse of the towers brought about by explosions. The latest evidence of thermite residue adds yet more evidence to a case that is already conclusive.

The buildings, particularly Bldg 7, look like controlled demolition. Also, my suspicion is aroused due to the lack of airplane victims. And how about black boxes? As for the towers, I am amazed that the steel girders melted - they were built to withstand a plane crash.

I believe that a rigorous, independent investigation into the specific events of September 11, 2001, is necessary. The resulting accurate report will allow history to ultimately record the truth of what happened, and to identify exactly which people were involved, how they were involved, and what were their individual motivations for involvement.

The toasted automobiles at ground level surrounding the towers following their 'demolition' are the culprits showing that there was more to the buildings collapsing than just planes hitting them. NIST said that they never proved that the towers indeed 'collapsed'; a rather amazing admission. It's too bad now that our present administration wants to only look 'forward' which means that the 9/11 catastrophe will be all but forgotten.

I am in shock at the disturbingly inconclusive investigations that have taken place at tax the tax payer's expense. It is clear that the current official conclusions are severely lacking in their fact finding. It seems that the only conclusions one can make without a full and complete investigation looking into ALL possibilities is that the government is attempting to cover something that they do not want the American public to know.

I am a lifelong resident of Maryland. I would like to believe our government is truly for the people and by the people, however, more often then not we have learned that it is not for the people I have no technical education or training, however, I have worked as an administrative personnel in the construction business for the past 20 or so years. I have seen what goes into the structure of a building and am not convinced that the towers fell that easily after they were built to withstand an airplane crash.
I believe the photographic evidence as well as the fact that the original premise behind the design for the WTC was for it to withstand a possible crash from an airplane; shows that the destruction of the Twin Towers was brought on purposely rather then accidentally.

I'm a college graduate from Iowa, and lived in Brooklyn around the time of 9/11.
I believe WTC 1 & 2 were hit by planes, and were later brought down by a controlled demolition--I do not believe fire made those buildings explode and collapse. I also believe WTC 7 was also brought down by a controlled demolition, and the minute number of fires on a few floors could not have caused that particular building to collapse.

I'm well aware of the extreme care that's taken to engineer buildings and steel ships to avoid unnecessary casualties in the event of fire, freak weather, catastrophic earth quakes and in the case of the twin towers a stray passenger jet as I took an interest in its design and construction. As I was working on steel high rise buildings at the time with blown asbestos covering the steel structure. Though much smaller in scale. When I saw the collapses of the towers the thought of controlled demolition came immediately to mind. I really didn't believe the planes could have done it on their own. Eventually when others began to question it, I made a point to investigate further and was soon convinced I was right in the first place. Now I'm positive that all three buildings are the result of deliberate controlled demolitions.

In some way people near me resulted affected, some of the dead people at WTC NY were workers from Mexico and specifically from Puebla and their families, until now believe that was terrorist attack but the explanation do not are accord to the facts, these people must know the true about this tragedy iat which their relatives died. But how a fire can cause a collapse of a bulding? The official explanation is not enough, no one building in the world had been collapse by fire, why the WTC buildings, with the best of architecture an engineering of the world came down?

I was first made aware of the problems with the official 9/11 story in August of 2006. My reseasrch since then has led me to the only conclusion that is rationally possible and that is that 9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by elements within the US Government with the possible assistance of other governments. A new investigation is warranted to find answers and prosecute those responsible
It is painfully obvious that these buildings were brought down by controlled demolition..forget about who or why...just acknowledge that it had to be an inside job...look at the media control to prevent full disclosure of the truth!
