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 poured plenty of iron and iron based alloys in my career. Liquidus temperature for construction type steels is around 2735F - 2750F. It is impossible for the steel structure to have been compromised to the point of the type of failure that was experienced. There are many different technical things from material science to metallurgy to computer science issues that are obviously incorrect and or fabricated.

Even someone who has passed High School physics should know the official story of 9/11 is a fraud. Buildings will not collapse at near free-fall speed from fire and/or aircraft impact. Any scientist suggesting such a possibility is a liar or incompetent. There are too many unexplained inconsistencies in the official story of 9/11 to mention. Having studied much material from Lyndon LaRouche's publications, particularly from Executive Intelligence Review magazine, I see that BAE Systems and Dick Cheney have a lot of explaining to do in relation to 9/11.

Arturo Moreno is an educator and designer living and working in the Kansai area of Japan. He was trained as an architect and completed his studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. He has worked in the offices of architectural professionals in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas. His work has included residential, commercial, institutional and urban design. Additionally, he is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces.
Without the aid of having done much research into the phenomena of the collapse of World Trade Centers 1 & 2, I have held a sense of surprise that the buildings essentially collapsed into their own footprints. It strikes me as unlikely that neither of the two towers would only partially collapse, partially fail or topple away rather than drop in identical fashion. During the 1993 bombing event, I was concerned for loved ones who worked in the financial district. Their workplaces were not in the towers themselves, but in the surrounding neighborhood. I was expecting the possibility of a toppling tower damaging or destroying several nearby buildings. The fact that not one, but two towers did not fall this way appears to be somewhat improbable. - - Further research has alerted me to the collapse of Building 7. How the events of the collapse of this building missed the sustained attention of 9/11 commission and the researchers from NIST seems to be without satisfactory explanation. This event alone should warrant further inquiry by all who are aware of it. - - Every day, there seems to be more evidence and revelations that do not square with the official explanation. In my mind, the official reports and studies seem inadequate at best.

On 9/11, I was just starting 7th grade, throughout the day students were leaving class to go home, they were being picked up by their parents. The students in middle school, such as myself, had not been told of what happened, they only told the high school students for some reason. When I got home my father surprised me because he was home early. As I walked into the house I saw him watching CNN. They were just showing the video of the collapse and the towers burning earlier that day. He told me that the Department of National Defense, which he worked for, had sent everyone home after the second plane hit. My initial reaction after seeing the footage of the Twin Towers collapsing was: It looks like a controlled demolition. My father went on to tell me that Arab extremists had attacked the building by flying hijacked planes into it and that the impact of the planes had caused the buildings to collapse. I repeated again But it looks like a controlled demolition. Of course at the time I was only 12 years old and did not realize the implications of it being a controlled demolition. After watching the TV footage CNN had on replay, I later asked him Why would anybody attack a building full of innocent people. It doesn't make sense. He replied: Well that's Muslim extremists for you, they're just crazy. It just didn't make sense to me. That is all I really remember from my experience on the day of September 11th 2001.

Having watched and read all of the testimony and evidence posted by Richard Gage over the past decade, I urge the Congress to create an independent commission to fully investigate the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings, and not to arbitrarily rule out any possible scenario or conspiracy that could have led to the patently false official NIST report. Testimony by the first-responders who observed and heard what they have reported were explosions, melting steel, and chemical traces which are not consistent with the theory that airplanes caused the fires and collapse of WTC I and II; and the full unedited free-fall photographic evidence of the collapse of WTC 7 should be included in their study. If Congress does not agree to this, then a public subscription for an independent analysis by distinguished experts from universities abroad should be undertaken.

I think as Building Professionals we should be able to share knowledge freely. This has a bad smell about it. The people who died, and those sent to rescue them, deserve better. Their relatives have a right to feel that lessons have been learnt and it won't happen this way again.

I support a new independent investigation. The way the WTC twin towers fell vertically looks like a demolition with explosives rather than an asymmetrical collapse as would happen with a plane crash. It defies physics for the buildings to have fallen this way and at the duration of free fall. WTC 7 needs further investigation as well because one column failure does not make sense with collapse of the entire building or the way it fell. Again it appeared as if all supports had been demolished at regular intervals at free fall speed which looks like a controlled demolition.

It's becoming increasingly clear that important details of the 9/11 horror are not being reported. For example, and in addition to to the demolitions in New York, an airliner (757?) could not have hit the Pentagon without leaving large holes (from the massive engines) on either side of the central (fuselage) hole. Those engines are made of steel and titanium. They couldn't simply disintegrate.

It's ridiculous to think that two state of the art buildings, designed to withstand aircraft impact, high winds, and earthquakes, could go into free fall after the damage they sustained. The damage was immense, but not enough to create the conditions necessary to produce what happened. Those were controlled demolitions. I am an American, and I almost feel unpatriotic to say, I feel this was a government job to kick start a financial machine that would benefit a few people at the expense of so many others. But, that's how I feel. It's so obvious in so many ways. You would have to be blind, patriotic to a fault, or invested in the industries that profitied to say this was anything other than an inside job.

There are too many doubts. All three WTC buildings appear to have collapsed according to controlled demolition, even those hit by planes. The collapse is not a true progressive collapse, as it is too fast. All three collapse under gravity. So the base of each was removed by explosives and plenty of eye witnesses testify to hearing them. The fact that a crime scene was cleared as quickly as possible clearly points to official involvement in 911. The fact that no military aircraft were scrambled into the air when the planes were hijacked points to involvement at the highest government levels. The fact that almost immediately President Bush was able to announce that the culprit was Bin Laden suggests very strongly a plan for military action. I believe 911 was, like Pearl Harbor, intended to alter the nation's mentality to prepare it for foreign war, which had not been possible since the trauma of Vietnam. So a massive event was necessary. It was very ambitious but a botched job and only the cooperation of the media could sustain the lies. The rush to go to war immediately after was to take people's minds off of the truth.

The NIST model of the collapse of WTC7 shows the top corner of the building collapsing before the building came down. The video of the actual collapse of the building shows the building collapsing while intact. The NIST model does not represent the reality of the collapse. Therefore, NIST model assumptions were wrong somewhere. In addition to that, the collapse of one major column would not cause the whole building to collapse, and if it did, it will not collapse symmetrically.

I can't belive in the official version. I only hope I can live long enough to obtain a credible version of the facts of 9/11 - today I'm 50...

A fire always generates asymmetrical forces, and thus a torsion of the structures during the collapse. When I discovered the images WITHOUT the comment, I instinctively thought of a controlled demolition: same sequence of destruction from the inside, so as to not scatter the debris outside the parameters of the demolition zone.

Occupation: Translator
Graduated from City College New York with a degree in Architecture and worked in the field for a number of architectural firms here in New York until 2008 when I lost my last architectural job, due to the economic crisis. I haven't been lucky enough to go back to Architecture and instead, I have dedicated myself to my translating due to the fact of me being a polyglot (I fluently speak, read and write Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and English). I have also taught these languages in Brazil on several occasions. One of my projects is to be able to go back to Architecture for it is my all time passion.
This may sound crazy but when I saw the towers collapsing, for some unknown reason I thought it was a guided demolition, I never told this to anybody until now.

When watching collapse videos, any member of the construction industry, whether architect, engineer, or contractor, must practically be compelled to ask for a formal and thorough investigation of the collapse of all 3 buildings, only 2 of which had planes which flew into them.

Ever since I first saw the failure, I felt something was wrong. The pancaking of the slabs as they fell struck me as the kind of failure one might see in a concrete structure building with the columns acting as shear punches at each respective failure. I was amazed when I was informed it was a steel building. Since then, I have learned of the mode of failure of WTC 7 and the temperature of burning jet fuel vs. resistance of steel to such temperatures. Something is just not right.

RIBA member, MA hons DipArch, Edinburgh University, in practice for 20 years. But you don't need to be a professional to notice some significant discrepancies with the official narrative.
The freefall collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7 must be impossible if only due to the entry of the planes, and in the case of 7, the absence of any impact at all. There is clear knowledge of the extremely robust structure in all 3 of them, and a pre-meditated scheme of internal explosions must have played a part. Further to that, the immediate vaporization of the structural cores must have involved some staggering level of explosives technology. The motives therefore seem heinous. In London last year, I witnessed the Grenfell Tower fire. It burnt visibly for at least 3 days with intense heat. 24 stories high, a year later it is still standing, with no deformation whatever.

My professional architectural experience consists of more than 10 years working on primarily steel-structure buildings. In addition to being a licensed architect, I am also an active member of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency). MArch, University of Utah, 2009.
In my professional opinion, the official explanations for the collapse of the WTC Towers 1, 2, and 7 are not complete, nor plausible.
