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.

As a Engineer I know that the right amount of energy would have been needed to cause the towers to fall at the speed and symmetry in which they fell on 9/11/01. As I learned in school and in the industry about Material Science that for the towers to fall, the steel in the towers needed to reach their yielding load before reaching their tensile capacity and then they could finally fail..I hope that a new investigation addresses these basic concepts!

I'm a degreed engineer (Mechanical Engineering Technology) with over 30 years of experience at a U.S. National Laboratory. I'm a certified project management professional with significant experience in facility decontamination and demolition. I am also a very experienced nuclear facility assessor and root cause analyst.
I watched live the afternoon of 9/11 when WTC 7 collapsed. Having been involved in controlled demolitions in the past it was immediately obvious to me that building 7 was a controlled demolition. It fell at free fall (or very near) speed in its own footprint without suffering significant damage. In addition, WTC 1 and 2 were observed with molten steel flowing from them. We are expected to believe that jet fuel and office furniture burn hot enough to achieve this; however, structural steel like that used in the construction of the WTC buildings would need to reach around 2800 degrees Fahrenheit sustained to change from a solid to liquid state. Jet fuel burns at around half that with the ideal air/fuel ratio.

Earlier in my career, I have worked for a City government for 3 years and two different industries. For the last 34 years, I am engaged in my own Engineering firm. Even though my degree and my specialty is electrical, most of my work and income relates to the structural discipline (within expertise limits -- i.e., no high rises, schools, parking structures, etc.) I've worked with and can deal with all materials: soils, wood, masonry, reinf. concrete, steel, aluminum. I've even done forensics; 1 elect., 2 struct.
Well, I haven't read the official report. But I have watched many of the conspiracy theory videos. Also, I distinctly remember, nearly 9 years ago on the news report(s), the symmetrical collapse of BOTH towers, then the very underplayed (by comparison to the towers) PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL collapse of Building 7. I thought at the time of controlled demolition and, by extension, an inside job. The gov's intent is to move on, but too many unresolved issues deserve proper focus, before all die.

Recently Pilots For 9/11 Truth have analyzed the speeds reported for the aircraft utilized on 9/11. Numerous aviation experts have voiced their concerns regarding the extremely excessive speeds reported above Maximum Operating for the 757 and 767, particularly, United and American Airlines 757/767. These experts are captains who have actual flight time in all 4 aircraft reportedly used on 9/11. These experts state the speeds are impossible to achieve near sea level in thick air if the aircraft were a standard 757/767 as reported. Combined with the fact the airplane which was reported to strike the south tower of the World Trade Center was also producing high G Loading while turning and pulling out from a dive. The whole issue becomes incomprehensible to fathom how a standard 767 can perform such maneuvers at such intense speeds exceeding Maximum Operating limits of the aircraft. This is so especially for those who research the topic thoroughly and have expertise in aviation.

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).

It is clear to me that the Official story has been promulgated in order to hide the real truth. To me it is obvious that all three buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Who was behind it is the big question which I hope an independent investigation will answer.

My first impression was 1. Stupid private pilot hit the building. Then, I saw the hole which it created??? Too large for private plane. 2. Second plane hit. My thought terrorists hit it??? After it fell I was puzzled about how it fell so smoothly ??? And now I believe there is a source outside of the planes that brought it down??? And here we are!!!!

The basic laws of physics, math, chemistry, and the other sciences have served me well throughout my career. These laws were cast aside during the NIST investigation, the 9/11 Commission hearing, and the on-going debunker attacks. The speed and manner in which WTC 1,2, and 7 structures collapsed are not supported by the expert statements.

Convinced that the official findings of the investigations are false, and based on hidden testimony. Clearly, there was no combustible material in the North and South towers to melt steel. Clearly the fires in Building 7 would not have induced collapse of the frame. The sonic evidence convinces me that the buildngs were deliberately demolished

Evidence for explosives warrants new investigation. If fire can do that much damage to a building then proper unbiased investigations must take place so future architects and engineers can design accordingly.

I have witnessed various presentations of people that are very respectable. In regards to the events of 9/11 it seems anything you would need to prove the explosive theory and consequent cover-up is present. From the wonderful work of Richard Gage to prove the physics of an explosion to the documentation of eye witness accounts to the very weak cover ups by the media and 'authorities' such as nist and the commission report. It's all there, we need to show it to the world.

I have worked in the fields of architecture and landscape architecture and construction ever since. My background is in residential estate, commercial and institutional designs including schools, hospitals and assisted living facilities.
I really have no opinion on the collapse of the buildings. My interest is in the apparent refusal by congress to accept an independent investigation to just put these rumors to rest. If there is any doubt still left in the minds of even a handful of people, there should not be any road blocks in putting these issues to rest through an independent study that includes officials on each side of the table, overseeing the study, Unless, there really is something to hide. The fact that we even need to go through all of this petitioning to congress for such a study, raises red flags for me.

I am unqualified as an expert. It appears Off. The long burn time is a big problem, as is The collapse of the buildings. (All of them.) The visible below collapse explosions bother me a lot. The melting temperature of steel being inconsistent with the burning temperature of jet fuel is also a problem.

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.

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.

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.

The 'pancake' theory was used to explain how WTC 1,2 & 7 collapsed. They fell at the rate of free fall so clearly this claim by the 9/11 commission has no scientific basis.
