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.

Not only would the fires never achieve a temperature to melt the steel, but even if the floors collapsed on top of each other, and the weight of the floors above pancake upon each other, they would 'slide' down the major vertical support columns. (which should have been left standing and toppled over bending and twisting) The vertical support columns cannot just disintegrate. Floors collapsing should have left a tangled mess, protruding from the debris field below, 30-50 stories high, bending over into adjacent buildings.

Something is obviously wrong. New investigations could help to get rid of rumors and abstruse conspiracy theories.

I graduated in 1998 as a civil engineer, specializing in structures, roads and railroads in the ISPAJE, Havana City, Cuba. I first worked in Cayo Largo del Sur, a tourist island in southwestern Cuba, in the construction of two hotels: Sol Club Cayo Largo and Barcelo Cayo Largo. In 2006 I started working in Jamaica on the construction of 3 hotels: Iberostar, Palladium and Secret. I am currently building and remodeling apartments and houses in the area of Montego Bay.
When I saw the collapse of the buildings on television in Cuba, I remembered what my professor of Resistance of Materials said: the laws of physics can never be violated. When I watched the program on the Discovery Channel about the collapse of the towers I thought one of two possibilities existed: either it was a fault in the design of the building or it was a controlled demolition. The last explains everything without violating the laws of physics.

The official report on 9/11 is fake; the resistance of the construction would slow down the speed of falling of both towers. There are a lot additional gaps in the government version - the heat had to be lower than stated and the construction would resist it too. The Pentagon, when you analyze the destruction, could not have been hit by the plane but possibly only the missile could operate so deeply and narrow. There are obviously others circumstances which make the whole picture and it is clear that the official version is a lie.

The case of 9/11/2001 is far too significant let go with so many, and a growing number of, unanswered questions. It is unfathomable that further investigations are not considered by congress; especially in view of the short duration, time boxed 9/11 commission investigation. Is this event not important enough for a deeper look? I think a permanent investigation is even merited.

My first thought besides horror, when I saw the disaster on tv, was no way, does a building collapse like that! And 2 at the same time! These building should have collapsed sideways above the crash place, and left most of the bottom floors standing. A masterpiece in perfect demolition! How many people in the world can do that? Later, when I saw building 7 went down, there was no doubt at all, that it was pulled down controlled. Collapse towards the center of the building, and almost simultaneously collapse of all walls. And still, I haven't heard and explanation why it went down? What

The analyses presented by AE 911 Truth raise a significant body of scientific evidence. It indicates that the causes of the WTC building collapses have not been adequately studied to reach supportable conclusions about them. If further scientific studies should determine that controlled demolition was a real factor, the ensuing issues of 'how' and 'who' are fearsome questions.

"The attacks on NYC and the buildings of the WTC in 2001 were destructive and deadly. The NIST Report and many of the ""official"" reports that have been broadcast to the public are incorrect and misleading about the causes of collapse. The scientific method has been grossly ignored, and much of the evidence of the truth has been hidden from the general public and the Professional community. These three Structural Steel Buildings clearly did not collapse due to fire from the fuel and combustibles within the building, as the NIST report claims. After reviewing Structural Analysis from Engineers and the evidence provided with expert testimony of many scientist and building professionals, I believe there is overwhelming cause to further investigate and reveal the full truth for future generations of Americans and the world. When the physics and the science is so contrary to the official narrative, correction is absolutely necessary."

I simply want the truth to be told. I have read the many accounts of the researchers, and find the official account sorely lacking in truth and common sense.

The official story does not add up. The pancake version contradicts Newton's laws. Burning kerosene will not melt steel. Witnesses heard explosions and bangs just before the collapse. These are only a few examples of unanswered questions, which demand a new independent investigation, in respect to the victims and to common sense.

I also am very good with fluid dynamics relating to water and related engineering processes. I am also a pilot.
As an engineer, I come to the same conclusion that many others have before me. There is no way those towers would have fallen due to any impact or collision. The only way to liquefy steel is with the use of some sort of explosive, or a chemical reaction. The jet fuel would not have caused the collapse. WTC7 is the key piece of evidence that the towers were taken down with explosives. As a pilot, I would say that not only would it be impossible to pull off a stunt like what was told to the public, but even if the pilots were able to do it, they would have needed the full cooperation of the entire airspace around New York. There are numerous entities that watch those areas due to the proximity to the capital as well as other very significant targets. The military controls the airspace and they would not have allowed anything to happen such as this unless it was a planned/orchestrated event with the cooperation of key individuals related to airspace control.

I've been looking, in excruciating detail, at 9/11 for almost a year now, and even if it doesn't seem long, I've collected mountain of information on the matter and have studied both the WTC destruction and the Pentagon at some points couple hours a day. I have never been all that conspiracy minded and bought the official story, but it is simply because I never looked at any evidence, including the live footages of collapses. I only knew the basic story of planes hit the Towers and it was directed by Osama bin Laden, but the very moment I looked at the videos, I knew something was terribly off about the official story. The more I looked at it, the more it became painfully obvious that government explanation it is an absolute monstrosity of a story, and have spread the word ever since, but for some reason a vast majority of my friends and colleagues have a hard time looking into it and basically don't even care what is the truth, not seeing how much 9/11 has affected the world and our freedoms. I gave the official story as many chances as I could to prove me wrong from that point on, reading all the government documents, making calculations and watching debunking materials, but every attempt at it fell apart because it didn't make any sense at all. How could it, the towers fell at free-fall! Whether it was a controlled demolition by explosives or some super-secret direct energy weapons, it is less important to me than a fact that the official narrative is a ridiculous lie that needs a new, fully independent investigation to expose those who were really behind it.

It's obvious to me all three buildings were brought down by demolition, as they came down in free fall, which would be physically impossible in the way purported by the official repport. I think we owe it to the world to have the truth come out, however difficult that may be; it's the only way to set us free from what cannot be true.

I am a physics student at the University of North Georgia, with a decade of experience in computer science, including in computer architecture, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I previously worked in finance and fiscal analysis, most recently at the University of Washington in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, supporting a broad range of research faculty across many disciplines. I am currently engaged in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of atomic-scale physics, electrochemistry, computer architecture, machine learning, and quantum computation, and have a manuscript in draft for the IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology. I also have some experience in computational molecular biology, specifically in the development of Polymerase Chain Reaction assays, and machine learning 'BioSeq analysis.' I am not a structural or architectural engineer, but am quite adept at reading and comprehending primary research in most any discipline.
I have heard theories over the years but the minimal research I have done prior to 2020, essentially amounts to reading the 9/11 Commission Report and watching documentaries from sources I couldn't verify the credibility of. I had seen videos of the twin towers, especially of building 7, that looked suspiciously like controlled demolitions, including what appeared to be timed blasts, but I previously had a mental block that would not allow me to believe that something so monstrous could be done by our government. That perspective has changed drastically since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, as I have a good deal of experience with PCR and can clearly see the blatant misuse of that assay during this situation. That realization led me to Kary Mullis, whose insights into Anthony Fauci, the AIDs epidemic, etc. have been highly illuminating. I also previously had no detailed knowledge of chemistry and could not rigorously analyze aspects such as residual thermite samples from building debris. Having a much more acute knowledge of physics and chemistry, as well as of the abundant corruption pervading our institutions, situations like 9/11 are becoming almost laughably obvious the more I research. I am continuing to review AE911 Truth's materials, but I can already see strong evidence for suspicion about the narratives espoused by NIST and the federal government. The families who lost loved ones and the public deserve answers to the questions posed by AE911 Truth, and I am happy to support their efforts with this petition.

Looking at the video of WTC #7 going down, which I hadn't even known about until recently, is deeply disturbing in the manner in which it free falls to the ground. It looks identical to controlled demolition with explosives. This, combined with the evidence of the usage of thermite such as molten iron and sulfur, is too compelling to be dismissed.

I am convinced that simple laws of physics, in fact some of the most basic laws, show that building 7's collapse was not due to fire alone. Added kinetic energy--VERY precisely added both in time and space-- must have played a role. Freefall is the hallmark of bottom-up controlled demolition; it is necessary, otherwise there it is not controlled. Conversely, there is absolutely no way a building with uneven weakening could freefall straight down for long at all. Given the nature of fire damage, the slightest resistance, which implies deviation from freefall, would surely be random and result in toppling. The bottom of the building went from enough strength to zero, almost instantly, across its entire width. The freefall continued for many floors! It had to have ALL of its many legs kicked out, in a word. Energy had to be added to remove ALL resistance. Explosives are the only explanation; any fire-induced collapse would progress non-instantaneously across a football field's worth of building. The roofline of one side was totally level for quite a long time during freefall. That's enough for me. This building free-fell for the first 2.5 seconds of its descent, despite NIST's efforts to obfuscate that fact at every turn. NIST still has no adequate explanation that does not involve explosives, yet they still stick to their model which does not match what actually happened, on network TV, by a full 1.5 seconds. They continue to make crude attempts to make their pictures match the reality, such as cropping/warping images derived from their computer model to make the front roofline look straight at a casual glance. Many thanks to David Chandler for his careful measurements...but given a hint or two, I did my own thinking. Anyone who uses their own head, and has a tiny bit of physics knowledge, or even a little common sense, cannot fail to reach the same conclusion as I did. I cannot say how it was accomplished, or by whom...or comment on the other buildings, YET...but we all saw a controlled demolition of WTC7 on network TV that day. Very beautifully done, I might add...perhaps a sloppier job would have been more convincing, if we are supposed to swallow the official story of heat-induced collapse. In light of this, needless to say, I fully support a new investigation...a REAL one this time, please.

Since the explosions first happened I noticed that the intrepid media was misreporting a lot of the events, but unfortunately clarifications never came. I'd expect journalists to be undereducated and unknowledgeable in matters that require logical thought, but I did not expect such a lack of clarification even years later from engineering and physics experts.
One need not even a G.E.D. to conclude explosives were present at the time of WTC building(s) collapse. He or she who thought the American public too stupid to understand thought poorly.

I believe in factual evidence, Factual evidence such as the countless videos of explosions in the building several stories down, the many pictures of the diagonally cut steel support buildings at the base of the tower (how does fire cut steel at a 45 degree angle?), as well as the presence of the explosive Thermate clearly indicates the towers were intentionally demolished.

I first was introduced to the possibility that the official story of 9/11 was untrue in 2002 or 2003, when I was in 9th grade. At that point most of the research into this had been historical. A short while later, I discovered Jim Hoffman's website, and for the first time was made aware of the forensic evidence. I have always loved physics, and was able to decently understand the information being presented. The arguments and evidence satisfy the criteria of proof. Key elements of the official story are impossible, and therefore did not happen. I know for sure that I will not allow the media and government to get away with the deadly hoax they have perpetrated. I am determined to improve my knowledge of physics and contribute whatever I can to bringing the September Criminals to justice.
The most compelling argument in my mind is that the best a falling object can hope for is 100% conversion of its gravitational potential energy into kinetic falling energy. The efficiency of this conversion can be calculated based on the time it takes to impact the earth. Efficiency is a function of whatever extra work an object has to do in addition to falling. If it has to use its energy to move the mass of air, efficiency suffers. The final time the object takes to fall gives us direct knowledge of what energy it in truth expended to fall, based on its mass. This must match the other side of the equation: the initial gravitational potential energy. Since the twin towers were able to not only simply push away the structure beneath, but PULVERIZE and SHRED it, and with great haste, the work actually done far exceeds the work potential. In other words, an additional energy source was at work there. Gravity as the only energy source is 100% impossible to account for the work done in the time it took. End of story.

Although I lack direct structural engineering experience, I'm knowledgeable enough to understand the evidence presented by others in this engineering field. I've followed the evidence accumulating shortly after the collapse.

It seems to me that the WTC7 tower is brought down by something that looks exactly as a controlled demolition. My experience of material physics and mechanical engineering also says so. I think that it is well motivated that an open international group of scientist and engineers investigate the anomalous collapse of all towers WTC 1,2 and 7.
