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.

My brother (Shawn) and I are historical researchers, primarily in the 20th and 21st century in American politics. We have met with many 9/11 researchers. We live in Manhattan, New York and indeed witnessed the collapses of WTC I & II from a few blocks away.
As I stated above, my brother and I witnessed the collapse of WTC I & II. Through our research and what we saw on 9/11 it is our informed opinion that the collapses were the result of high-tech means not associated with NIST's conclusions. We believe that demolitions, at the least, were used to bring down the buildings, especially Building 7. We have read David Ray Griffins books and others.

I have for a long while been curios to the events of september 11, 2001. I have adopted the stance that emperical evidence and experimentation is the foundation for good science, something the official explanations of 9/11 seem to be overlooking.I am still searching for some good documented experimentation proving the official claims that WTC 7 collapsed due to fires, and that WTC 1 & 2, could collapse and pulverise almost completely due to the upper sections freefalling falling a couple of floors or so.

The available evidence points very clearly to controlled demolition. Most remarkable to me is the free-fall acceleration of all 3 towers, which every video camera that day documented. It cannot be refuted. This means that every single column provided precisely zero resistance (ie. zero support), all at the same time. This can only have been achieved through explosives/incendiaries. Again, this holds true for all 3 towers. Also, airplanes are designed to burn their fuel at as high a temperature as possible, for maximum efficiency. Jet fuel can not melt titanium or structural steel, let alone vaporize it. To suggest so is absurd.

Even comparing it to the recent Surfside, FL apartment collapse where the floor layers ended up resting resting successively upon each other, one can see it was not a normal collapse. The non-symmetric damage would not result in a symmetric failure.

I remember pretty clearly what I saw on 9/11, even if 18 years have passed by and I was only 16 years old at the moment. What I saw that day it was incredible to me, out of rational facts. Not only the impact of the planes and sudden fall of the towers (including a 3rd not related with the impacts) but how it was all narrated by the mass media: it was like a film, not journalism. Nobody on TV or press made questions about all the inconsistencies between the official version and the real images everybody saw on 9/11. And some things did not match.Three or four years after (I was then in the Engineering School) I randomly read something on internet about the truth movements and I started to look for alternative sources about the attacks that lead me to further news, reports and videos pointing out many of the black holes occurred during the 9/11 events. And that's how I found AE911. And that made the whole sense for me: people with similar degrees I was studying were giving rational facts and using science to try to understand how it could happen. Nowadays, the most astonishing to me is how the scientific method was deliberately trashed in the official investigation and nothing happened. Like if there was an only 1 possible predefined interpretation and what did not fit in it, it simply did not exist. Are these the lessons learned for the future generations? Not to pursue the truth at all costs but create it. If our thoughts annoy our government, better to shut up or you'll be treated like an insane person. No matter what you do, it won't be useful. Sit down and swallow the news.

A perverse fiction continues to be sustained concerning the willful destruction of the NYC Financial District, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The entire scientific establishment is complicit with (no offense intended) no more than modest dissent from the likes of AE911truth and University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The facts might be buried but they cannot be denied any longer. Perhaps the most blatant crime in History never to have been investigated. High time to organize, publish and review openly in the name of Science. Never investigated!

The official report is complete hogwash. The jet fuel burned up on impact. Jet fuel burns at 800' to 1500'F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750'F). Consider the sheer mass of the building compared to the mass of the jet. Buildings don't fall faster than free fall. The buildings falling resembled controlled demolitions. What happened to building 7? Why were 4 foot cross sectional I-beams cut at 45 degree angles? Why were they finding hot molten steel in the sub basements weeks afterward?

I watched the second plane strike the WTC tower on TV as it happened and the subsequent collapse of the towers. Totally unbelievable that they easily withstood the impact, stood firm for more than an hour while a smoldering oxygen limited diesel oil fire bellowed thick smoke indicating anything but an intense out of control and growing fire capable of compromising the structure. Then the first tower collapsed - UNIFORMLY, straight down and later the second tower in a significantly shorter time from impact. The case for, and prediction of, the Building 7 collapse - straight down, later that day is TOTALLY suspicious and absurd. I believe the 'CLEAN UP' was a deliberate destruction of the crime scene evidence, hurriedly with the intent to prevent any analysis of the true cause.

For our representatives to deliberately ignore or discredit the overwhelming evidence of a planned demolition of the WTC buildings is a travesty of justice and treasonous to not only the American people, but the entire world. For the media, government, or society itself to ridicule or penalize people who stand behind the righteous cause of seeking truth in what happened during this cataclysmic event, is representative of just how deeply the propaganda machine has entrenched itself into our collective consciousness. 9/11 is not just about the loss of 3,000 Americans. It was the event that led us and the world to a never ending series of wars in which untold millions of innocent lives were lost. It was the event that transformed the military/security/information industrial complex into the unstoppable all-encompassing monster that it is today. It is ultimately what enabled governments to steadfastly strip their citizens of their fundamental rights as citizens of a 'free' nation. Therefore, it is imperative that this event is investigated more thoroughly and independently than any other event in our modern history, and hopefully, the truth is uncovered for all to see so that guilty parties can hopefully be identified and brought to justice, regardless of whom they may be.

The last 5 years I have been designing foundations and structural steel supports and platforms for the oil and gas industry.
I was in college taking tests when the event occurred. My most salient memory is getting a parking ticket at my apartment due to 'street cleaning' (in september ... really?). I guess I was too distracted to take notice that day. It wasn't until mid 2018 that I became aware of building 7 collapse. The media has spun its spell very well, as NO ONE I have talked to about building 7 was aware it even collapsed or the reporting from Donald Rumsfeld report the day prior! I always suspected that a typical fire should not have been able to bring the towers down when a high speed plane impact only made a hole, but accepted the narrative that BOTH towers had similar floor connection failures which precipitated a cascading collapse. I no longer accept that theory after finding out that the investigation was mandated to only the events leading up to the collapse. After learning of building 7 and the reporting surrounding it, it is clear we need a thorough unbiased investigation into this even to give the country closure and hold any guilty parties accountable. We need to restore law and order!

I believe there has not been an adequate investigation into the crimes of 9/11. In order to bring peace to our society, we need to find the truth and bring the real criminals to justice. The current story the US government provided does not add up. The Americans deserve to know what really happened to the innocent lives killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a result of the US government's story, deserve justice.

The pancake theory of the collapse of the World Trade Center is not logical. It is clearly evident that the buildings came down due to pre-positioned explosive charges, set to go off in sequence. No other steel framed buildings have ever behaved in this manner due to fire. World trade center seven is even more proof that this whole thing was orchestrated by entities unknown.

I earned a bachelor's in petroleum engineering, graduating cum laude, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in 2012. Subsequently, I went to work for BP (British Petroleum) as a petroleum engineer in 2013, working there as a drillsite engineer for 6 years, from 2013 until 2019. Prior to this, for 5 years I was an excavator shear operator at C&R Pipe & Steel in Fairbanks, Alaska, that processes all oil field scrap from the Alaska North Slope oil fields. In this job I operated a 70-ton 345 Caterpillar excavator with a Genesis shear head attached. On a daily basis I cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base.
Based on my job experience and engineering background and education, I know for certainty that structural steel, especially the thicknesses and amount of which was in WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 cannot fail either by weakened steel above it or from office fires. For 5 years, from 2004 to 2009, I operated a 70-ton Caterpillar excavator that had a 24,000 lb Genesis shear head on the front of it. I used this on a daily basis to demolish pre-fabricated steel structures, cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base). The aircraft in particular were paper thin and fell apart like paper when manipulated with the shear head. Steel, on the other hand, is a different story. From this work experience I know intuitively that steel cannot fail in the way NIST says was the case, and I also know from my engineering schooling that a steel structure failing in a collapse would not accelerate as quickly or quicker than the acceleration of gravity. Also, if the potential energy of the building was the only energy supplying the collapse, there would be no energy surplus available to eject multiple ton steel beam segments laterally, away from the collapse. NIST's official story is a sham, and that anyone is expected to believe it is laughable.

The observed collapses of all three WTC buildings lack sufficient explanation consistent with the laws of physics, historical record and known mechanisms of mechanical failure. The official investigation lacked transparency and scientific rigor in many ways. Furthermore, independent study by professionals in the fields of architecture and engineering indicates that the NIST report made many false assumptions in order to reverse engineer the produced result. For these reasons, and many more, the incident warrants further investigation by independent parties.

Straight free fall at 9.81m/s2. Perfect demolition execution. Surely not done by a sherpard's son. The minute I saw it live on TV, I knew the collapse was chirurgically controlled. Twice.

I don't believe it is possible for the buildings to fall the way they did from the bottom by being hit by planes at the top. The plane would have only damaged the top floors, the building fell as a result of a second and immediate occurrence. My experience shows this was a demolition.

Critical thinker and mechanical engineer from an accredited university, but my high school physics class was sufficient to help me understand that asymmetrical damage from office fires does not cause perfectly symmetrical total collapse of a building not even hit by an airplane. My career has been largely in medical device, and I have made it (so far) into the top 200 of a 7 billion dollar corporation with over 20,000 employees. So my experience is less relevant than, say, an architect, but I haven't forgotten the fundamentals of physics, statics and dynamics, materials, pattern recognition, etc. There is so much plain sight evidence, I cannot understand how the majority of Americans believe what they are told to believe. They made so many mistakes in orchestrating this tragedy.
Asymmetrical damage does not cause perfectly symmetrical collapse and the vaporization of 3 buildings. Who benefited? Who was in charge of security? Why was opium production restored in Afghanistan soon after? Wake up America!!

As stated so well in a Europhysics journal, the evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. Given the far-reaching implications, it is morally imperative that this hypothesis be the subject of a truly scientific and impartial investigation by responsible authorities.

I have read the detailed analysis of the destruction of the trade towers presented by structural engineers and physicists. I find that the scenario of the trade towers being destroyed by the impact of airplanes is unsupportable scientifically. The evidence is irrefutable that the trade towers were intentionally demolished with controlled demolition.
