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.

It is obvious the 3 towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Fire and even burning jet fuel will not produce enough heat to melt or weaken the steel structure to the point of failure and collapse.

I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering in 1975 and was registered in California as a civil engineer in 1978. I was registered as a geotechnical engineer in California in 1988. My practice has predominately been limited to geotechnical engineering. I have worked on numerous residential, commercial, education, transportation, oilfield, water related projects.
There are enough questions being raised about the events on 9/11 in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania that a new investigation is appropriate. There are numerous question that this group, and others have raised. The rebuttals that I have seen have often been vague and have not addressed the specific point that was being raised. These rebuttals have left me uneasy about the 'official' story.

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. I went on to design pipelines, facility stations and compressor units and then worked with hydraulic flow analysis software for gas and liquids. I have been working in the oil and gas industry for over seven years now.
One does not need to be an engineer to see the twin towers and building 7 could not fall at free-fall speed without extra energy. The media kept saying steel does not need to melt (2750F) in order to be weaken to fall. The max temp of jet fuel of ~1350F, (fire was black, so ~300-600F, most of the fuel burned outside). At ~1600F, steel holds 50% of it's strength. And, I have read that skyscrapers are designed 10 times stronger than physically required. So, impossible even if you grant the highest jet fuel temperature. It is evident to the most simple-minded person that studies it for any length of time that it was completed by the government. Rumsfield stated on 9/10 that they 'lost' track of $2.3 trillion dollars. And, the Pentagon was hit in the very department that held on the staff and computers for audits. Now come on.

Architect. Master Degree. Have been working with construction of smaller buildings, and have knowledge about high rise buildings.
Laws of physics cannot be overruled. A building built with safety-factor 5, and strong enough to withstand storms, earthquakes, planes etc can not 'fall down' like it's made of paper. Buildings have resistance to collapse - that's why they don't just fall. When they just fall, the construction has been tampered - and I would like to get further into this problem.

The following questions need to be addressed and answered, without the use of explosives, for the official story about 9/11 (as described in the 9/11 Commission Report, the FEMA report, and the NIST report) to be true. 1. The first question deals with the total collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. This 47-story skyscraper was not hit by an aircraft and would have been the tallest building in 33 of our states. Yet, it collapsed into a tidy rubble pile in 6.5 seconds in the exact manner of a controlled demolition at 5:20 PM on September 11, 2001. Please describe or explain a non-explosive scenario for the total collapse of this building that is in agreement with all the evidence known to date. 2. The second question deals with the Twin Towers (World Trade Center Buildings 1 and 2) and the 90,000 tons of metal decking, concrete floors, drywall, office furniture, and missing bodies that were pulverized in mid-air during the total collapse of these buildings. Please describe or explain a non-explosive scenario for the complete pulverization of all of these materials into dust in 10-13 seconds. 3. The third question deals with the free-fall speed of the collapse of all three buildings. Please describe a non-explosive scenario that explains the symmetrical collapse of each of these buildings straight down'through the path of greatest resistance'at an acceleration that is indistinguishable from free-fall acceleration in a vacuum. 4. The fourth question deals with the molten metal that was observed below Ground Zero by many people after the buildings collapsed. Please describe a non-explosive scenario that explains how Ground Zero remained an inferno and how molten metal remained fluid for a least six weeks after the collapse. 5. The fifth question deals with the steel framework in most modern skyscrapers including the Twin Towers and Building 7. This metal framework conducts heat rapidly, distributing it throughout the entire structure, which explains why no steel-framed skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire prior to 9/11. Please therefore describe or explain how the massive framework of structural steel in the World Trade Center (which had a melting point of 2750 degrees Fahrenheit) could have been fatally weakened by localized jet-fuel fires (which reach a maximum temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit) without the aid of explosives.

I was scheduled on a flight to Chicago for a meeting with other Network Associates engineers when my wife was watching the collapse of building 2 on September 11, 2001. I was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with the picture. A few years later I saw a video of the collapse of building 7 and recognized immediately that it was a planned demolition. At that time, I became truly outraged at the lies that were being told. As I watched the video, I realized that 9/11 was probably a 'false flag' attack. All my friends thought and still think I am crazy. Signing this petition is important to me in my role as a teacher of Buddhist Meditation in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We must have the truth be told so that our confidence in the government can be restored.

My obvious opinion is that this was without doubt a controlled take-down of the towers. Working in the steel industry for years, we all know that jet fuel cannot produce temperatures high enough to melt or weaken steel beams to the point of a total collapse. No one to date can explain the collapse of building #7; Big RED FLAG of pre-planning.

I hold a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from Uppsala University and a Master of Environmental Engineering degree from The University of Queensland. I have knowledge in engineering thermodynamics, combustion and other important skills.
I calculate the collapse of a 417 m high building at 9.22 sec in vacuum which is consistent with the 417 m high WTCs 1&2 which proves highly effective removal of resistance, which cannot happen naturally. To reach the steel melting point of 1500 degrees C requires about 400% air combustion and additional use of an effective energy source such as methane. These were not the natural circumstances on 911 which proves the use of explosives or similar.

I have never believed that the Twin Towers and Bldg. 7 of the World Trade Center could have collapsed as they did as the result of fire and damage caused by aircraft collision. I have seen your video and another that raise serious doubts in my mind as to the actual cause of the destruction of these buildings.

Charles Carreon has served as a California attorney since his admission to the bar on January 17, 1987. His practice included work as a securities litigator and product liability and personal injury trial lawyer in Los Angeles. He was a Deputy District Attorney in Jackson County, Oregon during 1994 -1995, and a member of the Criminal Justice Act Panel for the District of Oregon under contract to the Federal Public Defender. He has tried homicides and participated in and reviewed thousands of crime scene investigations. He has tried approximately 60 jury trials and hundreds of bench trials, acquiring a strong knowledge of the scientific method from working with engineers and medical doctors as expert witnesses.
The daylight murder of over 3,000 people in the nation's largest city has gone un-investigated and un-prosecuted. The cleanup of the disaster, conducted by untrained volunteers, was a massive destruction of evidence, and a mockery of a crime scene investigation. The conviction of one lone madman, Mr. Moussaui, who missed the plane on 9/11/2001 but still managed to proclaim his homicidal intentions in open court, was an absurd end to the pathetic efforts to prosecute the culprits. If other people are prosecuted for being part of the conspiracy in military commissions trials at Guantanamo, it will prove nothing, as they will be based on confessions forced from unwilling witnesses, i.e., statements that lack all veracity. The evidence of our own eyes tells us that the towers fell due to massive, instantaneous forces that had little to do with the airplane impacts. The collapse of Building 7 that suffered no airplane impact and fell just like Buildings 1 and 2, plus Larry Silverstein's admission that after the terrible loss of life, we just decided to pull it, make it clear that the same conspirators knocked down all three buildings. Steel and concrete skyscrapers don't just burn down -- that is of course the reason they replaced wooden buildings the world over. When the fire-bombings of Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, and other cities, proved that steel skyscrapers do not crumble, even when engulfed in a 2000 degree firestorm that melted human bodies into puddles. Somebody did this to us, and our nation has let them go free. It stinks in the nostrils of Justice, and I pray that the scales will someday be righted through the efforts of scientists, lawyers, and disbelievers everywhere.

The incident was a precursor to a war in which a young man I had been a surrogate father to was killed by an ied explosion.

Being an ex- policeman I am appalled at the lack of any true investigation and also the destruction of evidence. As a pragmatist (and not a conspiracy theorist), which is a true by product of my time in the Police service all I am asking is that a thorough bi partisan investigation take place into the scientific material presented on your website. I have read most of the statements made by firefighters and policemen about the events in New York on 9/11 and their evidence plus the scientific facts DEMAND a new inquiry. This is a plea for justice not just for America but for people the world over.

Agree with you 100%. I am not a professional engineer or architect but anyone with a shred of intelligence could tell the buildings did not fall because of fire from a jet engine, since the fuel is mostly a liquid that does not get hot enough to melt steel. I have researched this event and found the original report to be full of holes and completely untrue. THEY are the conspirators!

I am a New York resident and a student of John Jay in Manhattan. I intend on joining the NYPD and possibly emergency services.
On the morning of the attacks I was in school. Before the day was out I was pulled from class and brought home. At the time I was unaware of any political or world events. While watching the videos of the collapses on the news and, being an adolescent, not paying attention to the headlines I immediately assumed that the buildings were demolished in a controlled fashion. Then I was told by my father that it was a terrorist attack. In hindsight I look at the attacks in a different way now. Many people look at situations superficially. Most make assumptions. Its amazing how only hours after an attack they not only knew who attacked but also how and why it happened. With my criminal justice education I think to myself self...how can they solve the murder of 3500 people in hours, when some murders are solved over the course of years? strangely people just accept it. Analytically you cannot make assumptions or you will find yourself barking up the wrong tree. Just because a plane hits a building does not mean that the subsequent collapse was of direct or indirect result. If someone is hit by a car and is mortally wounded and then he has a heart attack after realizing his he won't see his family again, he still did in fact die of a heart attack. However in my example, a lay witness would draw the conclusion that his expiration was pursuant to the accident. The question I seek is why did they collapse. Structurally there was no reason for the buildings to collapse suddenly (especially building 7). The public has been lied to.
