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.

The videos of the collapse speak for themselves. Any engineer must question the FEMA official report that avoided all the evidence pointing to controlled demolition. The truth must be let know to everyone. An honest understanding of all events is needed as future ones will chip away even further into what little is left of the USA's freedom. The beacon of freedom projected by the USA has been turned off.

I hold both B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemical engineering. My professional experience ranges from high-technology to petrochemicals; my specialties include field applications, process/design engineering, and R&D. I particularly enjoy being challenged with technical issues. I reside and work in the Bay Area of Calif.
The scientific method has never proven in any capacity that skyscrapers can completely implode, let alone efficiently and symmetrically, from external impacts or fire. According to official video coverage, it is not even clear what struck the first two towers (esp. by watching in slow motion), and WTC7 experienced no related impact whatsoever, aircraft or otherwise. Evidence that all three buildings were demolished professionally was observed by several eyewitness reports stating the presence of multiple explosions and confirmed through forensic analysis, specifically research by Dr. Steven E. Jones of BYU (whom to this date is the only individual I am aware of who performed ANY forensic analysis on the building debris). Further, Larry Silverstein's public pull it statement regarding WTC7 was particularly incriminating and obvious, his profit of $500M resulting from his prescient insurance policy on the building notwithstanding.

I have collaborated with a research chemical engineer( P.E. in CA also) and he has worked with NIST reports that positively show that the jet fuel contributed very little to the duration of the fires and that in fact all the fires were very weak in historical perspective. They were oxygen starved as evidenced by the black smoke. If you dig deeper into the NIST reports they confirm that steel temperatures were low. I presented for continuing education credits at the NFPA World Safety Conference in Boston, MA 6/4/2007 My presentation showed that all three WTC collapses have no resemblance to any previous high rise fire, full scale fire tests in the UK involving much higher steel temperatures, or computer simulations using finite element analysis.

It is an engineering certainty that the buildings could not have collapsed from fire. Why haven't any, to my knowledge, of the engineering or science departments of any university acknowledged this fact? - - - - It is probably because they are concerned that they would lose their endowments. I have personally posed this question to IIT but have not received a response. Direct questions from A & E to the engineering schools, if not already made, seem to be in order.

M Arch, University of Texas at Austin, 1983
Buena Vista, VA
Occupation: Owner/Project Director
I have a BA in psychology from Trinity University/San Antonio and a M Arch degree from the University of Texas/Austin. I worked in firms in Austin, Houston, and Dallas before working for 20 years as a corporate architect and project manager at Marriott International HQ and Sodexho (Marriott) HQ in Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD (NIST was 'next door'), and Austin, TX. I currently have my own design/build management and consulting business in Texas and Virginia. I have acted as project architect, project manager, and project director on many projects in high-rise buildings in Dallas, New York City, DC, Virginia, and elsewhere. I spent many years managing projects in mid-town Manhattan while living in the DC/Maryland suburbs. Not long before 9/11, I was at the WTC meeting with the Port Authority to evaluate their RFP to manage the operation of the Windows on the World Restaurant. On 9/11 I was driving back to Maryland from Florida where I had received a national design award for a project I had designed and built.
On 9/11, my wife (and eventually our 4 children) were in our home in Frederick, MD as both the Pentagon and the Shanksville incidents occurred. These events geographically 'book ended' our home and shocked us all. We also lost a member of my mother's family (the McBrayer Scots clan, who came to America in the 1740's) at WTC 2. His name is Ken McBrayer. He worked for Sandler O'Neill & Partners. He was on the 104th Floor that morning. We are all 6 degrees of separation at most, of course, including the other million and counting who have been lost in the senseless, criminal wars and other illegal operations our country has launched based on a dark and terrible lie. There is more than enough evidence regarding the building collapses to require a real world, independent, and 'under oath' investigation into them. There are so many troubling questions that all of us, including the casualties, are owed answers to. We must demand this as citizens. Our nation, our constitution, and the world will never return to even a semblance of normalcy until the events of 9/11 are subjected to a genuine investigation. It is not yet too late. Justice is not just needed, it is absolutely required. Like so many others, I am shamefully late in coming to this. I always questioned the 911 Commission Report but was not totally aware of all the others out there working selflessly for an investigation. Being of an age to remember JFK, the Gulf of Tonkin, MLK, RFK, Wellstone and so many others almost leaves one too cynical and shell shocked to keep paying attention. My children, the arc of justice can be slow. Metanoia is painful. However, this must be done.

Again, I believe these were controlled explosions.After six years of study in to structures, I feel very confident in my observations and conclusions of this tragic event

We said we would 'never forget.' Although, the stickers and t-shirts proclaiming that sentiment have all but disappeared the memory of that day haunts our hearts and memories. The generations of young people born within a few years of 9-11 need to be educated about this event, the most profound tragedy to ever occur to American citizens; and, they need to be informed of a truthful account of history. Though it is as unthinkable as 9-11 itself we must keep in mind the old adage about remembering history lest it be doomed to repeat itself. While I was not personally affected by 9-11 in that, thankfully, I was not in New York at the time nor had any loved ones there my conscious cannot rest with the lingering idea that next time it will be me, my husband, or a dear friend. Nor can my conscious rest in the belief (supported by the evidence of these courageous architects and engineers) that the people who did lose their lives and their loved ones have not been told the truth and have not received justice.

From all the information I have seen and read it is clear to me that;Explosives were used to bring down all three buildings into their own footprintS .No plane hit the Pentagon - it was a missile + explosives. No plane crashed in Pennsylvania where they said it did - the ground scar is visible in aerial photo from 1994. Evidence that I found convincing: Physicist Jones' work on nanothermite, molten steel pouring out of building, 45 degree angle cuts in the main columns, molten steel in the basement weeks after the event, dust coming of building as it shakes from a bomb going off seconds before plane hits - as per the janitors story of a bomb going off in the basement.

I am not a engineer but anyone with common sense could see something is very wrong with the official story. What is surprising is that nothing after 20 years has been done about it, and it looks like nothing will be. I smell gate keepers in the mix holding up the show .
It is quite obvious with even a Cursory observation, that building 7 was a planned demolition. The hard part is to bypass the dumbing down of the American people.

I am not satisfied with the investigation of 9/11 and want to know exactly what happened to all 3 buildings plus the Pentagon 13 years ago.....too many people were killed and too many First responders were injured and have died from being exposed to the devastation that brought those buildings down! The American public MUST know who and what were behind this great tragedy.

I have spent countless hours reading articles, data from engineers and contractors, and watching documentaries which all lead me to believe that the official 9-11 story is just that, a story. I want the truth spoken out loud for all to hear!
Thermite was used. I want to know why and how. Building 7 fell, why? It was reported on BEFORE it fell, why? Why the buildings straight down when it was mathematically impossible and they were built not to do that? Why did Bush just sit there when he was told we were under 'attack'? Why were the planes not shot out of the sky? How did paper passports survive the crash but no plane pieces were ever found at the Pentagon or in that field? Why did rescue workers and regular people report on hearing explosions while inside the WTC? Nothing adds up!!

Just got my bachelor degree in mechanical engineering. 22 y/o from Delft, the Netherlands. During my studies I've had relevant classes on dynamics, material science and thermodynamics.
The images of the WTC 7 collapse strongly suggest a case of controlled demolition. Since the official reports state false statements about the collapse of this building an independent investigation is needed. I do not have any complex conspiracy theories but the official reports just cannot be correct.

It's true I am not a physicist, but when large, high rise steel buildings disappear into the ground in seven seconds, it may be time to start doing one's own research, independent thinking and investigation into the matter, and realize that the media may not be an entirely reliable source of truthful information, on 9/11/2001 events. The more I reflect on the video footage of the twin towers 'collapsing' the more I move away from the notion that weakened structures within the buildings from airline impacts and kerosene fires could cause the two towers to experience global, uniform collapse via complete desolation of concrete, in a time frame that suggests near or at free fall speed. I don't think one needs to be an engineer or a physicist to see that this is patently absurd.

I was a surveyor/civil engineering tech the day of 9/11. I sat in a room full of structural engineers and architects that were calling it bad as the towers were falling. I am not sure what freaked me out more at that time, seeing the event unfold or hearing the guys around me debunk the event as it happened based on the technical details. Now I am far more freaked out by what the Government is doing since. Stay out of Syria!!

The official story makes no sense when you look at Tower 7's obvious controlled demolition with a few fires in the building that had been put out. I've seen enough footage and enough information to tell me that that there is a story behind the official story that has yet to be told and we need to find out who the perpetrators are and bring them to justice. Why? Because everything in this country has changed as a result of what happened on that day-----everything.

Thank you to all the organizations and people who still to this day continue to work to get to the truth about what really happened on 9/11 so that those who did this can be brought to justice for the sake of all of those who were murdered on that day in broad daylight and all those who have died since for reasons related to this crime.
I do not believe the 9/11 story as told by the media on that day and thereafter. I request that a real investigation into this tragic event be made and that those who did this crime are brought to justice.
