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 a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. I managed large gun programs for the military. I have experience in root cause analyses when the unanticipated occurs.
Here is my synopsis of the situation: 1. The 3 World Trade Center buildings that collapsed were designed to withstand commercial jet impact and the subsequent fire. Unless the design margins were compromised, they should not have collapsed. 2. If the design margins were compromised, and they were reason for the collapse, the buildings would still not have collapsed in the extremely controlled fashion that was observed. Thus, design margin does not appear to be the cause of the collapses. 3. In searching for a plausible cause, the evidence first pointed to explosives. Evidence of explosions was provided by the numerous people that reported hearing them, by the evidence of high velocity radial trajectories of debris, and by the degree to which the debris field was pulverized. 4. The evidence then pointed to demolition-class explosives. Evidence of demolition-class explosives was provided by people seeing molten steel in a fire that should have been at least 1000 F below steel's melting point, by the debris field being permeated by bb-sized steel-based spheres that shouldn't have been 'vaporized', by the presence of elements unique to a demolition-class explosive in the debris field, and by the fact that all 3 buildings 'free fell' to the ground as if their infrastructure had suddenly disappeared (as is typical of demolition). 5. The evidence finally pointed to the use of military-grade demolition-class explosives. 6. If the conclusions from this evidence prove true, and to date they have not been refuted, the group of people responsible for the destruction of the WTC buildings remain at large, and the threat that destroyed the WTC buildings remains. 7. Unfortunately, the official root cause report does not account for the use of explosives at all. 8. For the United States to hold its own in a rough world, the reality of the situation must be irrefutably determined, and appropriate corrective actions taken. The current official report may be right, incompetent, or a cover-up. If the current official report does not withstand challenge, and the demolition claim stands, corrective actions must be taken against the people responsible, as well as the people that authored the root cause report, either for incompetence or for a willful cover-up. To do otherwise is to encourage a repeat performance.

I am a Structural Engineer with over 43 years of experience in bridge design, construction engineering, research and development, and forensic engineering. I have been project designer for the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (Skyway, East Tie In, and Oakland Touch Down Detour) and the Benicia Martinez Bridge (CA) as well as numerous other bridges valued at over $200M. I am currently working on the planned demolition of the old San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge (east cantilever truss) and the new Gerald Desmond Bridge at Long Beach Harbor in California. - - - - I have provided construction engineering services for several major bridges including precast and cast-in-place, prestressed concrete box girder bridges constructed by segmental methods, a major concrete arch structure. a cable suspension bridge, and steel truss bridges. - - - - I was Principal Investigator for the Applied Technology Council project ATC-32 for the development of seismic design recommendations for California bridges as well as serving on several other ATC projects. I have taught several courses on the seismic design and retrofitting of bridges for FHWA, Caltrans, UC Berkeley, etc., and was recipient of the ATC Award of Excellence for Extraordinary Achievement in Seismic Design and Retrofitting of Bridges. - - - - I have conducted forensic engineering studies and served as expert witness for the premature collapse during demolition of the Chile Bar Bridge in California, and participated in the forensic investigation of a steel eye-bar failure on the existing San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge.
It is clear from the additional evidence uncovered by A&E for 911truth that the people have not been told the whole truth about the building collapses during the events of 9/11/01. New evidence may point to sinister participation by elements within our own government. Because of the impact of these events on our current political and financial situation and on the future of our republic, it is imperative that the investigation be reopened to either lay these suspicions to rest or to expose any wrong doing. This will be necessary before we can heal as a nation.

I saw it on TV - the second tower hit live. I immediately commented to other science professionals in the room the planes must have carried bombs that generated super intense heat - it was no 'gravity fall' or airplane fuel fire that punched the towers straight down like they were built with 0 eccentricity!!! But today, 9/9/16 I received my first AE for Truth flyer. I had no idea other professionals had so gathered to document what the trained eye knew to be true. Your flyer gave me the link I knew had to exist but had no evidence of - thermite!!!!

It appears there is more to the story than we know or are told. I recommend: Set up a panel (independent of Government) of experts who investigates and evaluates all the factors leading to this unfortunate disaster. The American Public and the entire world are entitled to know the truth. In this day and age, truth must prevail. A lot of innocent people have already been killed and incarcerated. The whole world is in much worse shape than it used to be. Therefore, it is important we know the truth about this extremely tragic incident of history.

Trained beyond MTQ2 in the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps. Possess a broad knowledge of military armaments, explosives & demolition technology. A recent graduate who designs Open-Source Hardware, but not currently employed by an engineering firm, partially due to conscientious objections to work available.
To me it is obvious both by physical intuition and training that dropping the top 10-15 floors of a circa-100-floor steel-framed building onto the rest intact below can not possibly cause the entire structure to collapse under its own weight, regardless of how much fire is blazing in the building. If nothing more had happened in Manhattan on the morning of 11/9/2001 than airliners each hitting those floors of WTC buildings 1 and 2, it is possible that sustained fire could have allowed the remaining beams supporting the top section of either building to buckle, and for said section(s) to fall to one side into the street below, but nothing more. Within the present spectrum of human knowledge, such a complete collapse, nearly symmetrical, near free-fall speed, can only be achieved using controlled demolition.

As a Government Contractor-- Communications Expert in the Advocacy of the rights of Catostrophically injured first-responders, I have poignant, first-hand anecdotal evidence which will be useful at the sentencing (criminal) and/or damages phase of this case.
It is incumbent upon the legal profession to reconcile this malignancy-- this vexation upon our American innocence-- Truth? Not a realistic goal anymore... but we the people need the 911 Issue Adjudicated in a Criminal Jury Trial. Otherwise, it's a tumor sickening the American Zeitgeist in perpetuity!

Watching the buildings fall so perfectly and not causing damage to other surrounding buildings is very suspect. As long as there is anything suspect and unexplainable about the facts and answers given there will be doubt and should be reviewed again by a no interest party.

The Pentagon is the single most secure building in the world. Zero video footage of an actual PLANE approaching and hitting it but there is a short clip, albeit with the wrong date on it. Zero fighter jets sent to intercept a plane approaching Washington even after 2 buildings had been attacked. No black boxes from 4 aircraft. Building falling at free fall speed. WTC 7? Too many to list here.

I have never believed the official story. From the very beginning I felt the George Bush government was complicit. Then, when the story suddenly jumped from the pursuit of Osama Bin Laden to the pursuit of Saddam Hussein I felt again something was fishy. I think it's disgusting that the truth about this crime is slowly disappearing into the quagmire of American apathy and ignorance. I hope you will continue to pursue these criminals until they are brought to justice.

It's impossible for me to believe Building 7 fell the way it did without help from human hands. There was no smoke as you normally see in the case of a fire strong enough to bring down a building; and, the symmetrical collapse of the building in under 10 seconds resembles a controlled demolition too closely for me to ignore the similarity.

After looking at all of the 911 investigations and finding so many unanswered or covered up questions, I am left feeling there is far more than what we were officially told happened on 911. The world needs to know the truth, and if as it is appearing more and more that there was foul play by officials in our government then there needs to be hearings to prosecute anyone who was involved. Testimony from whistle blowers who have come forward needs to be heard.

9/11 was the crime of the century and its been buried by the media - ridiculed, due to disinformation agendas planting nonsense 9/11 theories like 'no planes hit the Towers'. Architects & Engineers represent facts and science about the three Towers that dropped on 9/11. We have to take the lead in stamping out disinformation as much as we put for the facts and evidence about 9/11.

I have kept up with many Supreme Court decisions and now with the internet have also kept up with news that is outside of the now 90% owned by 6 corporations puppet news. The drudge report, Alex Jones, NWD, Coast to Coast, No More Fake News by Jon Rappoport, Truthstream Media, Activist Post and others.
The day that this happened myself and a friend walked up to each other and at the same time said, ''Bush''. I know this was done with links to the New World Order take over by taking our rights and instilling fear in the people. The evidence does not lie. The official story is not the truth. I particularly like the interview with Rudy Dent the 32 yr NY firefighter that called it like it is.

There is no doubt in my mind that 9/11 was an inside job. Common sense (which is not common) and physics tell us that when a plane hits a steel skyscraper, the building wins. Also, impossible for a building to absorb a plane- which is what the videos show. The cockpit showing on the other side of impact! No way!! Holograms anyone? As far as Building 7 is concerned, I used to sell office furniture- there is no way burning office furniture could take down a sky scraper. It was obviously a controlled demolition. Now why has it been almost 20 years with no truth in sight?
