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 Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have been involved with working with new and existing large industrial structures for accommodating process equipment.
From my experience, I am absolutely certain the WT7 could not have collapsed as it did without some form of explosive. With this in mind, the whole incident had to be staged. For this reason an independent investigation should be made. It could expose a significant amount of corruption we have in the world, which is leading to the demise of the world as we know it. The truth should be exposed and those who have done criminal acts should be brought to justice.

"On 9/11, I was watching the events at work with another electrical engineer. When the south tower collapsed, I turned to him and said, ""It is not possible for a building to collapse like that from fire. The building looks like a demolition."" His response was, ""It must be possible because it just happened."" Since then, I wish I had added, ""The buildings came down through the path of highest resistance but fell at near free-fall speeds. That is not possible unless the resistance of lower floors was removed. That is the definition of a demolition"". I have no idea who is behind these demolitions or their full motives, but I am convinced that these three steel structures were intentionally demolished on 9/11/2001. Nothing else makes sense."

Please, if you have not already invested the time to do so, take two hours to view Richard Gage's talk at http://www.911blogger.com/node/10025 and consider the evidence with an open mind. - - - - Among other things, the official story leaves unexplained (a) the source of heat that could produce 2700F temperatures required to deform the steel when jet fuel can only attain about 1400F, and (b) how a steel framed building with both core and perimeter columns could collapse at free-fall speed instead of being slowed in its fall by the columns and mass of the floors below the impact site, and (c) why WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapsed while no other documented instance of fire in steel framed buildings has ever resulted in building collapse, though some of the fires have burned more intensely for longer times than at WTC. - - - - When these shortcomings are taken together with the other lines of positive evidence observed in the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 and supporting controlled demolition, the case is very strong that the official story is at odds with the truth. Please examine it for yourself.

Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

My opinion is that US government knew about the Al Qaeda project and let it hapened . The US governement had programmed the collapse of WT7 and the twins tower too . It's so incredible to have done that!! The truth must be known. I just wonder how so many people engaged in those barbarian acts can keep silent after 10 years. The men who put the explosives in the buildings are the first to find.

There is immense video evidence that clearly depicts that these towers collapsed as a result of an accelerated decent. There is no probable cause that can allow a building to fall at free fall speed without the aid of explosives. Math & Science do not lie. There is no way that the laws of gravity and physics could of also failed on that September morning.

Very aware and am sick and tired of seeing greed ruin the world. I feel I am a well balanced mind and can view both sides of the coin before making a decision on what needs to be done in any situation. From the mundane to an all out crisis.
Even if all science is put aside and one uses basic common sense it is clear that what happened to the Twin Towers was not a result of the planes impacting them. Even if both Towers were hit in the exact same place by exact same jets at exact same speeds and with exact same fuel loads, the outcomes would be different. When steel beams fail, the structure shows it visibly by reacting. The first beam to fail, would have caused the structure to tilt toward that beam. Even then, it's doubtful the building would have collapsed. Yet the buildings went from standing, to dust in mere seconds. Without any signs of internal failure. The amount of perfectly focused heat on all the beams simultaneously to have this effect.. is nearly impossible. And the statistics of it happening TWICE in the exact same fashion, are beyond reason. The jet that hit the south Tower hit the outermost third of the Tower's southwest wall. Most of the fuel burned OUTSIDE the building just after impact. The jet didn't even hit the buildings core beams. THAT is supposed to cause the building to disintegrate? Are you kidding me? ANYONE with some common sense and who has never seen this event, can have this explained to them and they will bet against the outcome that happened.

I do not think it is possible for buildings with complex steel infrastructures to fall as quickly as the buildings of the World Trade Center fell on 11 Sept 2001. WTC 7 is especially confounding. There were fires in 7 but it was never hit by a plane. How could the fires destroy the infrastructure of the entire building in the blink of an eye?

Three buildings were rigged to blow at least 24 hours in advance. The military that was more than capable of handling two planes was sabotaged and made impotent on the day of the happening.

I have been following the 9/11 debate since 2003 after hearing a radio interview about possible anomalies within the official story. The subject of Building 7's collapse has been the most intriguing part of the puzzle and NIST's explanation for its collapse appears to defy construction principles if nothing else. I find it perplexing that they suggest a steel building fell to pieces internally whilst its exterior columns and beams collapsed intact. NIST do not explain how this was possible other than to describe the action in a few short sentences of a 130 page document (NCSTAR 1A). The symmetry, lack of initial rotation and free-fall acceleration of the building falling as a single unit is not explained.

An independent investigation needs to be conducted to collaborate or refute the information in AE911Truth videos. Until this is done, the evidence shown in these videos provides data that suggests the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down intentionally by someone.

Born into the industry, My father was a general contractor. I spent my childhood on a construction site. I worked in the field in every trade excluding electrical and plumbing. I have worked in new construction and renovation and demolition. At the of 26 decided to get a degree in drafting and started working for a local production builder named Admiral Homes. When Admiral sold to Lennar, I was recommended by our V.P. of design for a position with the engineering firm we used on our plans. Hulsberg Engineering was and is still the most reputable firm in Duval county. While I was laid off due to cutbacks (I was the last hire but made it to the 3rd round) I am freelancing work and just completed 2 home designs ( a 4048 and 3030 sq ft).
I was off that day. It was during the time I attended college. I called controlled demolition from the start. I watched from moments before the second plane struck til well after 2 that evening. The 1st hour, I expected the top to fall over and crush everything in its path. I have been to the top of the Towers when I was a kid. I felt the way they swayed and it scared me to death. The guide said it was to accommodate for the wind load. (I grew up around construction workers which did not alleviate my fears. I saw the initial reports of explosions. I saw the report of the van full of Middle Easterners (now known to be Israelis) arrested on the bridge. Every aspect of this theory I watched unfold before my eyes. I waited for reports of bombs parts found in the rubble. They never came.

I have extensive Engineering experience in heavy construction working round the globe Ceylon, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. I am presently retired but involved in international consulting.
When the event took place I was practicing Engineering in Malaysia and my immediate response was that the building was destroyed due to explosions I had vast experience in the use of explosives during my long years of construction. When I shared this view with my fellow engineers they did not want to believe it, as far the news was concerned they were brought down by planes crashing into them. I am glad that professionals are seeking the truth, and it is evident from the investigations so far that the buildings were brought down by using explosives. Truth will prevail at the end.

For me there are so many unanswered questions about the physical destruction of the buildings, without even considering motives or politics. Purely based on the video evidence, the uniformity and 'neatness' of the floor-by-floor destruction at freefall speed does not look to me like a building being destroyed by any falling mass or debris from above. Add to that the level of utter devastation of the building and contents and it is even harder to see how fire and gravity alone were enough to cause this outcome. I have yet to read plausible explanations for the molten steel, the squibs, and the girders which were propelled into nearby buildings.

I hold a degree in computer engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. While my day job is solving problem in the software domain, I apply the scientific principle to problems in all aspects of my life.
A straightforward internet search revealed in 2001 (as it does today) that no steel-framed skyscraper has ever before fallen to fire. Some have burned fiercely for over 28 hours; when the fire burnt itself out, the steel frame was left standing erect. Also, there are no examples in history of a steel-framed building falling into its own footprint without help. An asymmetrical structural failure, as would be caused by a massive collision and/or massive localized structural damage, would have caused the building to collapse first in the area of damage, begin to lean, and then topple towards the side which incurred damage. The loss of life and property adjacent to such a building would have been staggering. Simply put, the fact that the loss of life and property were so low is compelling evidence that the felling of the Twin Towers was a the result of a professional demolitions effort.

I believe there is overwhelming evidence that building 7, along with the twin towers, did not fall due to fire alone. Structurally, with the way and speed the buildings fell this would make no sense. Witnesses at the scene report explosions, as in a controlled demolition.
