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 a BS in Civil Engineering, with a major in Structural Engineering. I work as a project manager/engineer in the structural steel industry. I design and build large structural steel buildings for a living.
How the 3 towers failed defies the science and rules which we practice under as a profession. With respect to the future growth of knowledge, this event needs to be investigated correctly. We need to determine how the science of structural engineering and material properties seemed to stop being valid for that 1 day, for those 3 buildings.

I seek a narrative that stands the test of physical observations. Misdirection and oversimplifications fester in the form of distrust. The US Government is worthy of the truth, needs the truth and deserves the truth, regardless of the direction the investigation takes. Only the truth can preserve our existing government and keep Americans free.

I believe the people have the right to know the truth. As a building designer, I want to know for certain that that building will not fail and cost people their lives. Being lied to about how buildings fail causes all kinds of problems. We want the truth. The architect who designed the WTC deserves to be justified by assuring us that the WTC was a sound and safe building. The only thing that could destroy that building would have been bombs, because they destroy everything, don't they? We should also ask who benefitted from this financially, politically, and the like. We need to prosecute those who are responsible so they don't do this again.

I am an architect who retired in 2010 from the State of California Department of Transportation, Division of Engineering Services, after having worked a combined 29 years in Transportation Architecture and Project Management. Buildings I designed include numerous maintenance stations, an equipment shop, roadside rest areas, a tunnel ventilation building, and light rail transit stations. Many of these buildings were steel frame, all were in California. Before coming to Caltrans, I worked for Liske, Lionakis, Beaumont, & Engberg Architects and Engineers, where I designed the Pacific Telephone Administrative Complex in Rohnert Park, CA, which is also a steel frame building.
' Why were two extremely tall buildings (110 stories - 1,362 feet), completely destroyed, after burning for less than two hours, each coming straight down, symmetrically, at freefall speed, all elements characteristic of a controlled demolition, rather than toppling to the side and failing only partially if at all? - - ' Why did Building 7collapse? It was 47 stories high (571 feet), steel frame, more than 300 feet from the nearest tower (WTC 1), was not hit by an airplane, had no significant fire, and yet it too was completely destroyed coming straight down, symmetrically, at freefall speed as if by controlled demolition. - - ' What materials in the WTC provided the fuel to generate enough heat (2,500 degrees F) to create the pools of molten steel reported by firefighters and cleanup crews, when jet fuel has an open air burning temperature of 600 degrees F and a maximum burning temperature of 1,800 degrees F? - - ' Why did the US Government spend only $600,000 to investigate the collapse of all three WTC skyscrapers, when it spent $40 million to investigate Clinton's sex life?

Building collapses: they seem to be controlled demolitions! Aircraft impacts and resulting fires could not have weakened the buildings sufficiently to initiate a catastrophic collapse. I have read Eric Hufschmid's book entitled Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack and Griffin's book The New Pearl Harbor (2004) and I agree with their positions.

2 planes hit the 2 main WTC with different angle and speed. 3 towers collapsing the same way, nearly at free fall speed. It is very surprising in terms of probability. Not compatible in my opinion with office fires. I disagree with Nist and Fema reports.

High school physics tells us that the buildings could not have collapsed at their known freefall speed by the alleged pancake process. The alleged commercial airline which crashed into the Pentagon left no imprint whatsoever of either wings or 6 ton engines, flying at 500 mph. Impossible. It had to be a rocket.

I worked in downtown Manhattan for fifteen years, with an office on the 91st Floor of the North Tower (WTC-1) for three years. The airplane alleged to have caused the collapse of this building would have fit on our bond trading floor, with minor intrusions into walls and ceiling. Yes, the buildings swayed in a high wind -- it was part of their design. They were also designed to withstand airplane collisions, a well-known hazard. Of course, no building can survive being blown up floor by floor to produce pulverization of its support tresses and collapse at freefall speed. Let us help each other understand this monstrous aberration. Congress must be responsive to the people's needs and make a true investigation.

Pursued mathematics concentration in Moscow State U., U of T., then completed with a graduate degree from Cornell. Was fond of learning physics prior to that as well - during fun school years.
Nearly free-fall acceleration shows that DURING crumbling of each of the main WTC buildings, very little potential energy went into demolishing the supporting columns, as well as pulverizing concrete - so how come 90K of concrete & metal decking were pulverized into dust in mid-air? Let's really do a comparison - let's compare the energy needed for this task and ask where it could come from if not potential energy of the building standing up? Also, it's looks very strange that ALL columns totally failed at the same time without visible damage to lower floors and without slowing the fall of the building.

I don't have any real technical expertise, but am very willing to learn. However, I am a 9/11 survivor. I worked for the federal government, and my office was about one mile away from the Pentagon when the explosion happened. I have believed there was something wrong from day one even before the official story came out. As you will see, I moved to the UK and have been here for nearly five years. I intend to make Europe, if not the UK, my permanent residence, although I will be making trips back to the US on occasion and will try for a dual citizenship status.
One thing that has always bothered me about the attacks has been, where was the the NTSB investigators. None were ever called, particularly for the Pentagon. If a plane did indeed hit it, why were there no investigators there? I did not see any. I was able to get within 800 yards of the building, and when I asked a Federal Marshal where they were at was quickly told to leave. It was rather bizarre. A scientific explanation is one of the few ways to explain what precisely what happened on that day; we can inject our own realpolitik-er later, but let's get the scientific evidence out first.

Numerous architects, engineers, and controlled demolition experts testify that the collapse of WTC 7 (and quite likely buildings 1 & 2 as well) cannot be predicated on the reasons put forward in the 9/11 Commission Report, or the findings of the NIST, both of which operated under obvious conflicts of interest. It is time to open a truly independent, international court of inquiry regarding all these matters.

I worked in diabetes and obesity research but left for greener pastures in business selling equipment to scientists. I sold and programmed laboratory robots using VB and VBA.
Jonathan Barnett's work on steel recovered from the WTC7 debris was called perhaps the deepest mystery of 9/11. What does it prove and what conclusions can we draw? I believe the results cannot be explained by an ordinary office or fuel fire. I believe the results prove that sulfur was deliberately placed in WTC7, and that the sulfur was heated to a higher temperature than consistent with the official explanation. The sulfur could NOT have come from gypsum (calcium sulfate) in the drywall. At the very least, we must conclude that arson was committed in WTC7. Such evidence of arson justifies an investigation on any day except 9/11/2001.

Overwhelming evidence renders preposterous the official theories about the perpetrators, the physics explaining the cause and mechanism of the building collapses, and the reasons that no branch of the government, including the military, acted responsibly or appropriately during the events on September 11, 2001. There has been no credible explanation for the failure of every pertinent branch of the government to act effectively or react responsibly to the evidence before, during, or since the attacks. No credible explanation has been given for the admitted failure to investigate or follow the money trail (including the 100,000 dollar transfer to Mohammed Atta from the head of the Pakistani ISI, or the put options on the involved airlines and Boeing, or many other obvious leads.

On returning to NZ I spent the rest of my scientific career working mainly on the subject of deer biology in backing up a new industry in the farming of that species.
I have read a number of books on this topic mainly because my son pushed me to look at the subject of 9/11 and draw my own conclusions. Having done so I am convinced that an objective evaluation of what happened before, on the day and after the event is necessary. The official account about the events of 9/11 is not convincing.

Photographs and video clips of the destruction of the three large buildings in Manhattan show them exploding from within--long after two of them were hit by airplanes, and the third by airborne debris--and falling at speeds that could be matched only by the best professional demolition. No further evidence required than the video clips of such demolitions that circulate on the internet.The next step is to expose and publish who and why.

I have a doctorate, but it is not in science. I have worked since I was 16 but am now elderly and retired. I have lived an interesting life, and I am grateful for that. But I feel very sad for the people who died in the 9/11 travesty. A friend of mine works in Manhattan, and she had to walk home, saw the explosion, breathed the air....she said it was terrifying. I think that 9/11 should never have happened.
There are too many things about the official position that simply do not add up. I believe this 9/11 destruction was done for political reasons, and to make people afraid of 'terrorists'. But the 'terrorists' who did this spent a long time planting explosives in the buildings...they had that authority. It was planned in advance by certain government workers and nothing was done to stop it from happening. It was clearly designed to make Americans afraid, and was used to put through legislation that would never have passed. I remember how we all flew flags after that, and wore lapel ribbons of red white and blue. Out of fear that we would be seen as 'unpatriotic'...and then they passed the 'Patriot Act' which severely limits our freedoms.

I taught theology at a seminary in Albania for three years, then taught at St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM, for seven years, from 1998 to 2005. Since then I have worked various jobs, and have been translating the writings of a medieval Greek patriarch, John Bekkos, who supported the union of the Churches.
I am convinced that the collapse of WTC Building 7 was a planned demolition: if for no other reason than that news reporters were reporting that it had fallen down before it actually did. And there is much evidence to suggest that the same is true of the Twin Towers themselves, that the planes which hit the towers were not what actually brought them down. The squibs appearing in video footage of the buildings' collapse, especially at points of greatest structural reinforcement, are one of the clearest pieces of evidence pointing to timed explosives, along with the rate of free fall and the disappearance of the central steel pillars.

I have my formal training in economics, geological science, public health, and statistics. While I do not have much formal training in engineering, I am familiar with scientific methodology as well as international finance and politics. Any appropriate investigation will need to be thorough and multipdisciplinary in scope if we hope to get to the truth about 911.
911 is suspicious on so many levels but a better understanding of the available chemical and physical evidence is probably the best place to begin a more detailed and NON-PARTISAN investigation. Aside from the terrible tragedy and loss of lives associated with 911 directly, at least as many more died in Iraq and Afghanistan not to mention billions of dollars spent--which wars most likely never would have place without the pretext of a 911 Reichstaght type of event. Everyone either directly or indirectly is suffering to some level because of these events--even if it is only the loss of freedom and peace of mind which we had prior to 911.

It is clear from the evidence that has now been presented that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. The buildings could not possibly have collapsed at free-fall speed unless their structures were substantially weakened using carefully engineered explosive blasts and cutter charges. Analysis of the dust from the site shows abundant presence of chemicals that would not have been present under any circumstances had explosives not been used. Further, videos of plumes and anecdotal evidence show explosions occurring as many as forty floors below the 'collapsing' floors; other evidence reveals that sub-floor explosions preceded the collapse of the two main towers. At this point, hundreds of articles written by qualified individuals who have closely researched the evidence clearly establish these and many, many other points that the formal inquiry chose to ignore.

50 years of research experience and 30 years of graduate and undergraduate teaching experience provide the background for me to see many shortcomings in the government's explanation of events on 9-11-01, even if my field is not architecture or engineering.
The nature and rate of building collapses on 9-11-01 are not compatible with the government explanation. A new investigation independent of government agencies would likely reach a totally different conclusion.

I do doubt about the official stories. There are lot of stories which doesn't have a clarity. So it is necessary to do an independent investigation in this regard.

Planted explosives brought down all 3 buildings. The government and NIST have covered it up ever since and continue to lie to the world about who was responsible. I applaud the great work of AE911 Truth and I hope that someday soon the truth will be irrefutably revealed and justice will prevail.

With the work of Steven Jones, Niels Harrit, and their colleagues, it has been definitively proven that the three buildings fell as a result of controlled demolition. It is clearly criminal to prepare such inhabited buildings for demolition. Those at the origin of this operation must be prosecuted.

I am trained in research and examining information for the truth found in multiple contexts.
I have read the reports of nano-explosive residue found throughout the rubble, which makes me believe that something has been overlooked. Nano-explosives do not appear naturally in any circumstance unless they are used explicitly to explode. This alone makes me want to know where this residue came from and why was it in the WTC rubble.
