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.

How is it possible that such a massive structure with steel core, collapses by fire strictly vertically? How is it possible that material gets blasted out of the building so far if fire is the cause of the collapse? Why was there such a high temperature at the base of the building several days after 9/11? Why could comparable buildings resist fire over more time an did not collapse?

One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I have been in the mechanical and electrical field of repair and modification for about 12 years. I have worked closely with engineers of many disciplines. I was in the military for 4 years. I have been involved in the root cause analysis of many accidents. Some of failed structural steel and other composite materials. I have studied metallurgy and what can cause fatigue in metals. I have also studied the live and dead load of flooring and the stresses caused by each to different materials used.
Steel buildings do not naturally collapse in the manner that was witnessed on 9-11. It is not possible that 2 would have collapsed in the same manner, yet we are told to believe that 3 collapsed in that manner. (within their own footprint and at near-free fall speed) We have had much smaller incidents that have been better studied than this world changing event. It has lead to laws being passed and conflicts with at least 2 nations. Yet the study of this incident has been incomplete and in most cases compiled of flawed testing... which is shameful.

I believe that 2 inexperienced pilots, would not have been able to redirect the plane flight path to hit the Buildings as it was done. The aircraft Black Boxes were retrieved, but are hidden. Their content was sensored. I am not interested in theories. Just facts. Also, I wish to know why the burning of the steel structure was at a higher temperature than that of cumbusted kerosine. Why was the the structural steel removed and recycled so quickly without the ability of a 3rd party to investigate? Also, who benefited financially, by shorting the Ailine Stocks via put options.

No commercial airplane (or military) could possible bring down one of the twin towers. Any such aircraft would be shredded by the collision, not poke its nose out the other side. Further, there would be aircraft parts everywhere if it had been aircraft that impacted the towers. The impacting vehicle had to have been something more along the lines of a bunker buster cruise missile, which would also not bring down the building. Also, even the best pilots in the B-1 test program would have a tough time hitting the towers at that speed. Again, the precision needed could be realized using a cruise missile.

I know complex systems, i.e the electrical grid, and the modes of dynamic response. Within the timeframes of these building collapses it an improbability approaching near zero that discrete components can fail symetrically. I have better odds winning the powerball lottery - three times in a row.Furthermore when systems fail energy release is asymmetrical because, well, something failed. All one has to do is watch movies like the latest Superman, Pacific Rim, or The Avengers to see how a building would collapse if catestrophically damaged on one side. It topples over, it does not fall straight down at free fall rate.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

Cannot understand how the twin towers collapsed in the floors below the airplane crashes and the other building collapsed without airplane impact. Only rational explanation is controlled demolition.

2 aircraft hit 2 buildings and 3 buildings collapse. WOW! 3 buildings collapse at free fall speed, but there were only 2 aircraft. WOW! Pancaking would take much longer to collapse WTC1&2 and the rubble pile would be much higher. The basements had to be cleared in order to take the volume of the material. WTC7 did not pancake, as seen from the footage this was controlled demolition as confirmed by the landlord.

Like Richard Gage and the ae911truth organization, I accepted the official story until April 2008, when I read a paper written by Steven Jones, BYU physics professor. The towers and building #7 collapsed at near-freefall velocity, consistent with a controlled demolition. The NIST report is inaccurate, if not entirely bogus. The collapse of the trade towers should be re-investigated as a joint scientific (like the Challenger space shuttle disaster) and criminal (a team of independent forensic scientists) investigation.

I have been working as an electrical engineer for over 5 years. I am deeply interested in studying the events of 9-11, arguably one of the most pivotal events in modern human history.
I never questioned the official explanation of events of 9-11 until the winter of 2006 when I saw a brief video on youtube of WTC 7 collapsing. At the time I never even knew there was a 3rd building collapse. Even though it's difficult not think of the political implications, I try to focus purely on the physics and science of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapses. After reviewing the videos and witness testimony of the building collapses I have very little doubt that all three buildings were brought down in a controlled manner.

It is obvious that the controlled demolition theory is the true one. It is also obvious that the official theory is not correct. I particularly note that the politicians involved even today are strongly ignoring the facts and are doing everything they can to cover-up, and fight against the truth coming out.

Having seen several videos over the years about 911, I thought there was sufficient doubt thrown on the official explanation to warrant further investigation. The way the towers fell (especially building 7), the speed of collapse, the claim that the fires were hot enough to melt steel, all seemed suspicious to me. Having just read David Ray Griffin's book on the collapse of world trade center building 7, I am convinced that the whole scenario needs to be revisited and scientifically investigated by a non-politicized panel of experts in all the applicable fields: structural engineering, explosives, physics, chemistry, etc.

In my view, the vertical collapse of the Twin Towers core structures could only take place because the structures' pillars and the corner pillars in one or more of the lower floors all at once were cut by explosive charges, thereby entering the entire structures above into a free fall, gaining sufficient downward momentum to make the structures below crumble. However, I do find it hard to explain how the core steel-frame structures could disintegrate and why the disintegration happened in the same way in the two towers. To me it seems likely that in an uncontrolled collapse one or both towers would have capsized with even more catastrophic consequences. As regards WTC7, it seems obvious to me that the sudden collapse was controlled, although the videos that I've seen do not show explosions in the lower part of the building. I have not read the official reports explaining the vertical collapse of the three buildings. However, if the civil engineering community cannot deliver a proper peer-reviewed explanation of these collapses, it has a serious professional problem. Explanations of major structural failures has always been essential for progress in the design of safe structures and in the education of civil engineers. Future textbooks on the structural design of steel-frame high-rises must contain factually consistent explanations of the collaps of WTC towers - otherwise we must admit that we do not know the essential properties of such constructions when exposed to impacts and fire. Which is clearly unacceptabel for the professional community.

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

WTC 7 - Controlled Demolition - - WTC North and South - Even if the impact from the planes and subsequent fire were able to weaken the main structural components of the towers there is no possibility for them to fall in their own footprint, at the speed of gravity, nonetheless.

The scientific method has never proven in any capacity that skyscrapers can completely implode, let alone efficiently and symmetrically, from external impacts or fire. According to official video coverage, it is not even clear what struck the first two towers (esp. by watching in slow motion), and WTC7 experienced no related impact whatsoever, aircraft or otherwise. Evidence that all three buildings were demolished professionally was observed by several eyewitness reports stating the presence of multiple explosions and confirmed through forensic analysis, specifically research by Dr. Steven E. Jones of BYU (whom to this date is the only individual I am aware of who performed ANY forensic analysis on the building debris). Further, Larry Silverstein's public pull it statement regarding WTC7 was particularly incriminating and obvious, his profit of $500M resulting from his prescient insurance policy on the building notwithstanding.

I am a Civil Engineer-in-Training working for the City of Milwaukee. I have researched this event continuously for the last 2 years and have been interested in it for the last 4. This event took place on my birthday so I feel compelled to find the truth about what happened that day. So many pieces to this disaster don't seem to mesh with what the government told America and I want to find out what happened. If our government is this corrupt, they must have their own agenda and are not making decisions by the people for the people.
Even though Debunking 911.com says there was a hole in the south side of building 7, that conspiracy theorists did not take into account, it does not mean the building falls neatly into its own footprint. If there is a hole on one side of a building, the building will tend to collapse toward the weakest point, toppling the building over or collapsing in some sort of non-symmetrical manner. Videos from building 7 show the building, at the same time from all 4 corners, collapsing straight down into its own footprint, not damaging anything else around it. How does this happen if there wasn't some other element helping with the collapse?

Obviously impossible according to official story. All buildings of that size are designed with safety factors against exactly such an occurrence. The odds against both primary buildings and WTC7 collapsing due solely to aircraft impacts without planned demolition are absurd. Clearly controlled demolition was used to assist in the destruction of these symbolically significant structures.

When I realized that WTC 7 fell the same way as WTC 1,2 at free fall speed. I knew there was a massive cover up in the terrible event occurred in 911 by the US government. I was also deeply troubled after seeing the conspiracy theory presented by Jesse Ventura regarding the supposedly missing black boxes, was actually seen physically by the first responder.

I have a BSEET from DeVry in Atlanta, Decatur campus, June 1986. While my field is Electronics, I have long been an admirer of architectural sciences and science in general. After seeing the horror of the 9/11/2001 catastrophe, I knew my gov't. would be using this unfortunate event to further their endless global war agenda by sucker-punching the American people, as they have historically, regardless of who was truly responsible.
I recalled some of the nightmares I had in the immediate weeks and months following of how surrealistically the twin towers seemed to simultaneously explode and disintegrate as if they were not really made of modern steel and steel-reinforced concrete and multiple-redundant load bearing design to withstand hurricane-strength winds and earthquakes. As a former seasonal resident of New York City in the early 90's, it would often give me and other New Yorkers no small amount of anxiety to be at the WTC, if only to change trains while commuting from the Newark PATH trains to the A & C subway lines, after the '93 attempt to bring them down. It's as if we collectively knew this wouldn't be the last attempt. I'll never forget my sister calling me in a panic just the minute before the second tower was hit to make sure I wasn't in NY after her husband, who was a concert tour bus driver had just checked out of the Marriott WTC-3 hours before it was crushed by debris from WTC-2. Later we found out that our aunt, a native of the Bronx, had a cousin who was killed while working at one of the financial firms in the towers. Throughout the unparalleled horror of the predictable clarion calls for an endless global war for vengeance, what they call their Global War On Terror, I call the War On Rationality, I managed to set my sights on opposing the impending catastrophe that the naked empire would pile on top of this tragedy in Afghanistan and Iraq with the World Can't Wait anti-war coalition. After just a few years, I noticed the intense debate regarding the improbable collapses -especially Bldg. 7- via the work of Stephen E. Jones and instantly realized the full depth of horror of an inside job.

I received my Civil Engineering degree at Texas A&M in 1978 and have worked for ExxonMobil for 32 years as a Mechanical and Machinery Engineer.
I originally did not question the 911 reports or attacks by the Middle Eastern radicals until a few years ago, when I became involved in the 2008 Presidential campaign because of my concern for our country and the obvious corruption of both political parties. I was using the Internet for news information due to the inadequacies and bias of the Main Stream Media, when I stumbled across the video clips of World Trade Center Building 7. The more I investigated and researched the events of 911, the more questions I had. As an engineer, the video of the collapse of Building 7 was an obvious demolition. One other disturbing aspect of the 911 events was the attack on the Pentagon. I am aware that there are numerous cameras all around the perimeter of the Pentagon, as this is one of the most secure and highly protected buildings in the world, yet not one video was able to record the actual plane impact on the building? The video provided by the government is a farce and clearly is missing video frames that would obviously show a Boeing 757 hitting the building. My question is what are they trying to hide, and who exactly is trying to hide it. That's why I'm signing this petition for a further investigation of the 911 catastrophe.

I have watched the DVD 9/11:Blueprint of truth: Architecture of Destruction and I want to support independent investigation of 9/11 attacks.
I believe it is indeed a controlled Destruction of all three towers..especially WT7

Currently not working in the field of Engineering but was employed for over 20 years in the areas of design, manufacturing, management and consulting.
It would be interesting to see how much difference there would be between a report based on true scientific analysis and the governments theory pertaining to the collapse of the twin towers.

I have NO DOUBT that from the physical evidence, and engineering principles, that none of the WTC buildings came down solely as a result of the plane intrusions. It is my opinion that the evidence of an 'inside job' is so prevalent, and so sloppily carried out , that the perpetrators, are ASKING TO BE CAUGHT ! By being so SLOPPY, the perpetrators are inviting us to end the decades of 'behind the scenes/inside job manipulations' that have enslaved so many. Let's honor their subconscious request !

I do not believe that the steel reinforced structures of the WTC buildings could have been brought down by fuel fires alone. There is another explanation...
