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.

The light shed upon the events of 9/11 by Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin and others like them suggest most strongly that our government's version of the cause of what happened on that fateful day is far from the truth. Further, our government's continued refusal to satisfactorily answer questions about obvious conflicts in their version of causes and its refusal from the onset to allow a full and open investigation of these causes by an impartial and empowered body strongly suggest that certain elements in the current administration were complicit in facilitating the events of 9/11 as well as engaging in a cover-up of that complicity thereafter. Lacking a full and open investigation for cause it is highly unlikely that the truth can ever be proven.

I am a licensed master builder. In the last forty-years of my working life I have worked on many high-rise buildings from the footings to the fit-out.
In my final year (1970) at the West London College of Art and Building, we completed a unit on the slurry-trench and the spread footings of the World Trade Centre. I know the Twin Towers could not fall in the manner they did, unless the massive footings holding them aloft, was first destroyed. It is beyond all reason to believe a jet airliner slamming in to the eighty-second floor of WTC would cause the footings to fail six storeys below grade, not possible. It is in the interest of all people on earth to know what happen on 9/11 and who the real culprits are. We need a new and independent inquiry into the death and destruction at the WTC on 9/11. After all, the happenings on that direful day have resulted in two murderous wars, which still rage to this day.

The collapse of the WTC towers on 9/11 was a remarkable and puzzling event. Several aspects of the collapse have yet to be satisfactorily explained: the collapse was extremely rapid (near free fall); the destruction was nearly symmetrical (in spite of highly asymmetric structural damage); the collapse generated significant explosive upwelling pyroclastic-like clouds of pulverized material. The most widely cited explanation is a Progressive Collapse Theory published by Ba'ant and colleagues. This model however has significant weaknesses. It is 1D (hence ignores the WTC towers' excellent capacity for load redistribution); it is not able to explain the highly symmetrical nature of the collapse; nor can it explain the generation of clouds of pulverized concrete and other anomalous aspects of the collapse. In my opinion the hypothesis of controlled demolition needs to be seriously investigated.

First, as a Chemist who has worked in Petroleum Refineries, I can Testify that Jet-Fuel made from the Glycol Distillates in a Cat-Cracker do NOT burn hot enough to melt the steel that was obliterated in the 911 incident. Further, the only thing that can do that and cut the steel girders clean across angles as seen in the aftermath photos is a form of Thermite Incendiary. I believe that a 'basement' nuclear type explosive may have been in this as to Building 6 and the crater left behind below sea level. This is possible as evidenced by the University Project of John Aristotle Phillips in the 1970's where he used Declassified Manhattan Project papers to create a prototype Nuclear device the size of a small beach ball. He was forced to sign the US Secrecy Act and was not aware his Professor was a US Government operative when he turned in his project at Princeton University then. He wrote a book on this subject also. This was clearly controlled demolition and I have seen also firsthand how Thermite operates and have even made it. I can also Testify that controlled demolition was used at the Oklahoma City bombing in the 90's and a common C4 type of ammonium-nitrate explosive could not do that damage. Author/Researcher Christopher Bollyn has been explicit in the raw mechanics of the 911 incident and the cover-ups and the ties in those events that are clear manifestations of the Hegelian Dialectic in their execution.

In my amateur, but rather educated opinion, there's no way the Towers collapsed without the aid of explosives...coincidences happen, but not 10 of them all occurring in the same moment, which is what it took to bring down a structurally sound building built with the intent to survive a plane hit. Pools of molten steel is evidence of high intensity explosives. And that's not even counting the numerous studies done on the WTC dust which shows high levels of manganese and thermate.....the first lowers the melting point of steel by 500 degrees and the 2nd flash boils metal to 4500 degrees. This alone is proof to me that someone (not terrorists) orchestrated a timed, well planned, and deliberate demolition of those Towers. At some point, someone, or some group, must be held accountable for the senseless murder of nearly 3000 American citizens, and the invocation of their death to murder nearly a million abroad. The nation must know the truth, and those responsible, deserve to pay for their inequities against humanity.

From the evidence I have seen, such as explosions seen and heard by witnesses, as well as the very uniform way they fell, it is not possible to melt steel at the temperature at which kerosene burns, so another substance such as Thermite must have been used. Also where are the black boxes from the planes? Never in the history of flight has a black box not been recovered, yet mysteriously neither have ever been found.

Everyone with a grin of brains knows that the event was staged by the usurpers of the U.S. sovereignty. But, the time has come in which it is not enough to just say that, not even with thousands or even millions of voices.

Free fall speed indicates no resistance. At no point in history has a steel building of similar structure as the 3 Towers fallen from fire.

I don't know what I will do in my life but I carry with me high moral standards. I care for individual freedom, honesty and transparency. But, I do want to give my support for this petition. You can ignore my signature because I am not a US citizen. However, if there will not be a proper investigation of 9/11, I will inform everybody I know about the rational scientific arguments that point to the use of thermite explosives.
It is physically impossible for the WTC Towers to have collapsed due to the airplanes. The amount of Energy that has come free from the fall, could never have come from an airplane crashing in to them. A lot of indications point to the use of thermite, which would explain the amount of energy that came free, the melting of the structure and the presence of all the metals in the dust and the rubble... So why would anyone put these explosives there while terrorists flew into those buildings?

I am also working at a consulting engineering firm specializing in building sciences and have been working in this field for over three years now doing draftwork, site surveys and reports among other responsibilities.
It is rather clear to me after reviewing the evidence presented by this organization and countless others that the official account of the 9/11 event by the American establishment (government, media) is physically impossible. This has even been noted by NIST itself when admitting to the free fall of the WTC 7 building, while still refusing to address the fact that it would take explosives loaded on the lower support columns to achieve this free fall speed. The public needs to bring this issue to the forefront of mainstream awareness and the opinions of verified professionals and qualified individuals needs to be taken seriously and not ignored.

At first, and without much thought, I accepted the collapse of the two main buildings as possible if much of the fuel had fallen down through the center cores and a substantial portion of the main supports were somehow weakened. But the collapse of Building 7 made no sense. Now, having listened to various theories and analysis, including: 1) audio analysis in which evenly-timed explosions can be heard for no explainable reason, 2) evidence that thermite or thermate was found in the ruins, 3) videos that shows puffs of smoke exiting the building below the critical fire zones, 4) and analysis that explains why nothing in the buildings could cause enough heat to melt or substantially weaken the supporting steel girders, I'm baffled. There seems to be no logical reason why the buildings collapsed other than by controlled implosion, and that makes no sense either unless there is a shadow government that exists outside the government we supposedly control acting in its own interests.

I have no formal engineering or architectural education.

I have a degree from Eastern Connecticut State University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I have also taken Physics 1&2 at the University of Connecticut.
I know of no other structural fire in the history of steel construction that have catastrophically failed due to a structural fire. I know that the buildings fell at near free fall speeds, in an untypical symmetrical fashion. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel. Building number 7 was never impacted and had minimal fire on several floors, then v-ed and fell like you would expect to see during a controlled demolition. Also, there is footage of firefighters and police officers telling cameramen to move back because the building was going to come down.

I entered the college of the University of Chicago 1946 on the GI Bill. I took several courses in the Math and Physics Departments and obtained a PhB degree form the college. After working for two years I returned to the University Physics Dept. and obtained a BS degree. No courses on Semiconductors were offered at the time but the job I got was primarily designing and developing Large Power Silicon Devices. The largest was a 4,ooo,ooo watt SCR (silicon control rectifier) or switch.
I had a hard time believing that the airplanes crashing into the twin towers could cause the amount of damage that occurred but when I saw the film of building #7 going down I became convinced that it was a planned demolition. This conviction increased my suspicion about the cause of the excessive damage to the twin towers.

On some videos of WTC 1 and 2 collapse one can see core columns still standing in clouds of dust while the building surrounding them is already gone. In my mind they needed some core columns to stabilize the straight downward movement of the towers to prevent major damage of the buildings surrounding the WTC towers. The remaining core columns are than brought down a few second later. There is no technical evidence to support the official story of WTC collapses, the official story does not make any sense except for the political agenda. I will give back my degree in physics and engineering if the official story is true.

The free-fall speed of a collapse is suspicious. Visually it is strikingly similar to controlled demolition. Big media was talking about computer models used by an investigation, and, from my experience with computer models, they can be misleading, or fudged whichever way one wants. If computer models were used by investigation, these must be open sourced, so that (a) it can actually be run on my computer to at least validate that there is a model that supports official claims, and (b) to see what sort of actual computational paths are used, what assumptions are present, what physics is modeled, and whether it is real.

While not an architect or engineer, my knowledge of Physics leaves me no doubt that the AE911truth analysis is completely correct. To me, there can be no doubt whatsoever (unless Congress had repealed certain laws of Physics that day) that all three buildings were skillfully wired for controlled demolition beforehand, and were purposefully imploded via these explosive devices on 9/11. Other than your expert analysis and our own eyesight and common sense, the most damning evidence came from Larry Silverstein, the owner of the WTC complex, who said from London on 9/11 that, due to the fire, they might have to pull, i.e. implode Building 7. Americans must know the truth!

Presently I only hold an Associates Degree with studies in physics and a publication. My directed research at UCF included Micro-Raman Spectroscopy and Non-Linear Stochastics.
After viewing the buildings collapse for the ninth time that day, one of my first responses was that the Buildings had collapsed too quickly. It was not until Dr. Jones published his article online in 2004 that I finally had some reliable conjecture to support that hunch. When I later did some of my own calculations was I truly convinced that indeed the controlled demolitions conjecture was more reliable. Ever since I have put forth the effort to relay the information to anyone willing to examine the evidences. Unfortunately Shopenhauer's statement regarding truth has proven to be correct. So far we still seem to be around step two.

The official account is not physically beleviable. The buildings were designed to withstand impact of large aircraft and the fires were not catastrophic or capable of heating the structural steel sufficiently to cause failure.

I have had doubts about the official investigation for about 9 years now. The more research I do into it, the more convinced I am that explosives were used. In actual fact, now I am 100% convinced that explosives were used on 9/11. There is no way a building i.e. Building 7, can fall at free fall speed for 10 floors, without explosives being used. The support columns offered no resistance at all to the fall, which is impossible, unless all the support columns in the building failed at exactly the same time!

I have studied mathematics and physics at Tulane University. I have taken numerous classes in mechanics and thermodynamics. I have also taught high school physics, and am now applying to both physics PhD and M.D. programs.
If a building collapses without assistance, all of the energy available for any sort of motion, pulverization, rotation, etc. is purely from the initial gravitational potential energy of the building. Building 7 fell at nearly perfect free fall acceleration for more than 2 seconds. This implies that if gravity were the only source of energy, all of the energy was being perfectly converted into the kinetic energy of the downward falling motion. By the conservation of energy, this leaves no energy to do the work of pulverizing the material, moving broken pieces around, rotational kinetic energy of the pieces, etc. I take this to be an argument of the form reductio ad absurdum using conservation of energy of the official story of the building's collapse. I am currently working on a lower bound reliable estimate of the energy that necessarily went into these other forms of motion and the pulverization of the concrete. This energy is not such that it could hide in the error of the free fall analysis. This is a large amount of energy, not a mere 1% but possibly on the order of the total gravitational potential energy. In short, the gravitational potential energy of the building was far less than what was quite clearly needed to both have the building fall at free fall (perfect conversion of all gravitational potential to kinetic energy) and to destroy the building as the destruction progressed. By physical necessity, using basic and known laws in a clear and obvious case, it has simply been PROVEN that there was a separate and very large input of energy beyond the mere gravitational potential energy of the building. There are many other issues, such as the high reliability of the identification of thermetic material in the rubble. There are several smoking guns in the story of Building 7. Physical theory is the most highly reliable theory available. If a valid and aptly used physical argument leads to a conclusion, no political ideas or feelings of what is 'historically or politically possible' have the epistemic authority to defeat these claims. 9/11 has simply been proven to be an inside job. There is no wiggle room, there is no error, there is no 'well what if'. It has been proven!

As a practicing physicist and inventor for over 5 decades, I have always felt that the collapse was not what was described by NIST and others. On the morning of 9/11 I was driving into Manhattan coming over the Manhattan Bridge and saw the second plane hit. I will never forget that. Late and over the years watching over and over the available video clips, I am certain as a scientist, that this was a deed most foul. By who remains still a mystery, but with our speaking out will also bring forth the truth.

The destruction of all the towers is suspicious due to many factors, however the collapse of WTC7 defies any reasonable explanation based on widely accepted and proven physical principals. This undeniable fact, along with all the other suspicious observations, calls into question the official 9/11 story.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the official story is just plain wrong. If it is true, it defies physics and everything we thought we knew about buildings and their durability. It is easy for me to see which is false. What I don't like is how many are blind to the truth or simply don't care. What originally caught my attention was how neatly WTC7 fell. When seeing videos of it falling I thought straight away this can't be, this has to be near free-fall which I knew has never happened in a steel-frame house fire. I am writing this exactly 10 years after the events and I am truly sad the majority of the population is completely ignorant about what really happened. I feel that HAS to change.

The official story about the collapse of the three buildings consists of a series of statements that contradict totally the laws of physics and chemistry and offers physical impossibilities. I am a physicist and cannot ignore the incorrectness and wrongness of its scientific arguments (mechanics, chemistry, metallurgy): they are highly primitive. There is no doubt, they are lies!

Physics clearly states that the towers fell symmetrically as if the structure was taken out from underneath each tower in a programmed sequence of events.
