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.

Graduated with a BSAS degree in architecture from UNL in 1977. Worked 2 years doing estimating with the Kiewit Construction Company in Omaha. Then, for 2 years while apprenticing with a small multi-disciplined architect-engineering firm in Omaha (The Schemmer Associates). Obtained professional license in 1985. Worked 2 years at DoD (Offutt AFB) doing architectural assessments, as an apprentice architect. Started with the National Park Service in 1984 as a Historical Architect (preservation). Still with the NPS.
The evidence produced as the official story related to the supposed collapse of three buildings at ground zero in New York City simply cannot be true. Much more comprehensive, scienfitic evidence has been independently produced. Mounds of evidence were rapidly removed from the site, and the presence of molten metals and dust particles containing evidence of thermate are too compelling to ignore. The official story, however, does just that. It is an insult to our professional intelligence to take the official story at face value. Too many questions remain as to exactly what happened on 9/11/01.

I have a Bachelor degree in Engineering Science and Mechanics, 1971 BESM includes much of the curriculum for structural engineers including Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, truss design, the dynamics of deformable bodies, plastic deformation, etc. I have been in the development business and built buildings up to five stories.
As documented by this group, never in the history of steel framed skyscrapers since 1908 has a single one of them failed from fire damage, other than the supposed fire imposed collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7. A number of researchers have well documented horrific fires in steel buildings, none of which failed and all were reconditioned and still in use. It was patently obvious as I watched the original footage from Vienna, Austria that these were commercial implosions. Building Seven housed CIA and other federal agencies, all of which would have had to have known and approved of plans and capability to implode the buildings months in advance. The America public deserves to know the truth.

My concerns with the Twin Towers lie in the inconsistency with the method of collapse, i.e. a symmetric free fall collapse, when damage incurred was asymmetrical - one would anticipate a toppling of the upper tower. - - Tower 7's collapse is not at all consistent with the collateral damage it received - it's collapse was as well completely symmetrical and within its footprint that is difficult to rationalize from asymmetrical damage and fire. - - It is my opinion that the official story falls well short of explaining what happened on 9/11 and further investigation is required.

I find it staggering that anybody believes the lies published by the official WTC collapse report. We all have a degree of common sense and make daily decisions based on perceptions of gravity, mass and balance. The official report throws all this common sense out of the window and asks that we believe a physically impossible option. You do not have to be university trained to understand that a huge amount of energy was required to destroy the undamaged elements of the WTC buildings. The only energy they claim was gravity + mass of the damaged building - no way. Lets not forget that the strongest part of the build was the base.

I have been a hospital plant engineer and HVAC service engineer for 31 years.
The day the Twin Towers collapsed, I wondered why New York City Port Authority decided to demolish the World Trade Center just after selling it too Larry Silverstein. I e-mailed that question around to many on-line contacts and was alarmed to learn it was due to a terrorist attack. The reason I didn't know about the attack the hour it happened was due to a hard disk failure. When I had the spare hard disk changed out, I was amazed to see the smoking ruins falling in free fall. I had studied these buildings from their first construction days and full well knew they were built up on a central core. From that core, the floors depended. It was impossible for me to believe jet fuel, which burns at 1200F could have caused the floors to pancake down. From my study of buildings in general over the years of my plant engineering career, I knew if the pancake theory held any validity, the core should have still stood and due to the absorption of kinetic gravity, the collapse would have stopped at some point in the collapse. I speculated from very crude calculations that the fall point should have run out of energy at the 55 floor. But even that was a fantastic leap to fantasy and I well knew it. From that first day to the present, I am convinced the Twin Tower World Trade Center was imploded with well placed charges as in controlled demolition.

Retired. Work on F4D, A3D, DC-10, T-45, and F-20, in flight tests and flutter models developing instrumentation systems and some instruments. Developed instrumentation tape recorders both ground stations and high environment types for aircraft and missiles. Was a problem solver and project engineer from the beginning as a technician before finishing my degree, and through out my career.
As I watched the TV of the planes hitting and the collapse of the towers and Bldg 7, I said to my wife, They were imploded. To me it was obvious that was the case, because they came down in their own footprint. Later when they cleared the site before forensic evidence could be collected and examined, as was done in Oklahoma City, I became certain that it was setup. My theory is that after the first attempt on the towers, the powers-to-be managed the installation of the charges, how I didn't know, but then they waited for the Muslims to strike again; using it as an excuse for the war and Patriot Act.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering, a B.S. in Engineering Physics. My emphasis has been on the seismic retrofit of existing structures for masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.
Buildings with localized damage to vertical structural elements (columns) cannot collapse globally and in a uniform fashion. This is a physical impossibility never once observed prior to 9/11/2001. Steel is a ductile material (it flexes, deforms, stretches, large amounts before fracture). In the case of all three WTC towers, ductile behavior is not observed. We see no large deformations of the columns prior to collapse. Instead, we observe sudden, catastrophic failure. No energy is dissipated through deformation. A free-fall collapse. Impossible in a structure where columns are not hinged (i.e. severed at the floors).

Owner of WTC admits publicly that they pulled building 7. Pulled means controlled detonation. Controlled detonations take months sometimes years of planning and permitting before they actually drop a building. Building 7 came down the same day just hours after the collapse of 1 and 2. This would only have been possible if the building was already rigged to go. Its doubtful that even the most skilled demo team could have or would have rigged a building that fast and brought it down. Correct me if I am wrong but structural steel needs temperatures of more than 2000 F to weaken or melt. JP8 or common aircraft fuel burns at around 900 F No building in history, even after hours of intense burning, has ever fell down because of the heat. The WTC towers were built to withstand just such an impact from a large passenger airliner, I recall that they were built to withstand a direct hit from an even larger plane than the ones that hit them on 9/11.

I have a B.S. in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology from Spring Garden College, Philadelphia, PA. I am a licensed contractor and an inventor with US Patents (mid 70's to present).
It definitely appears that Bldg #7 was a controlled demolition along with the other towers. It was announced on TV that #7 was going to come down and I also saw a clip of Larry Silverstein say pull it, which is a demolition term. Popular Mechanics said it was brought down by fire, which is totally contradictory to what the news and silverstein said. How could all these explosives be set for #7 between 11AM and 5:20PM? It takes weeks of planning to set explosives for demolition. This leads me to believe that the explosives were set long before 9/11. The fact that the ground was still burning up to 3 months after is also an indication that jet fuel was not the culprit. Witnesses said there was greenish smoke coming from the ground and some rescue workers said there shoes were melting. What happened to all the office furniture and door knobs in the buildings?

There are serious problems with the official 911 commission's findings regarding the modes of collapse of the three WTC buildings and collection and interpretation of forensic evidence and eyewiteness testimony. Apparantly , the scientific method was not applied by those that directed and oversaw the investigation into what actually happened on 9/11/01.

From WTC 9/11 footage I've seen it is apparent that the planes did not bring the buildings down, and I am not an expert. Anyone can see this. I am convinced that there are those in our government who do not want the truth of 9/11 to be known by the American people.

It seems painfully obvious that all buildings we're rigged for demolition prior and that only very powerful people with inside control could orchestrate such a task under the radar. What does it all mean and what is the motivation?

The perfect collapse of building 7 was clearly not caused by a fire alone. I don't have an engineering degree but I do have common sense which tells me that a controlled demolition was most likely used to destroy building 7 and possibly buildings 1 & 2 which looked like they exploded rather than collapsed.

After watching and hearing the events on 9/11, I was very uncomfortable with the official report. I found it hard to believe a man in a cave could orchestrate such a complex plan. While talking to a friend one day, he told me to banner up. I did. I must say there were many many events involving the Government that never sat right, JFK, Pearl harbor, I can go on but you get it. From that day forward, I made it my business to seek the Truth. I Am The Face Of TRUTH.

Viewing the slow motion videos of the collapses of all three WTC buildings shows direct evidence that the buildings did not fall because of the fires and damage from the planes; Building 7 was not even damaged by a plane.
