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 experience in a vast array of projects from single family homes to extremely technical data centers in building such as the Trans America Building in San Francisco.
I believe unequivocally that the official Government story on the events of September 11, 2001 are false. The evidence is simply too overwhelming to think otherwise. Laws of physics and scientific certainties have been ignored and dismissed and as a licensed engineer dealing with and responsible for public safety, I demand an independent SCIENTIFIC review of the events be preformed.

It is impossible for Building 7 to have collapsed in such a perfectly symmetrical manner by any means other than an intentional controlled demolition by a large team of experienced engineers. I have no idea who did or why, but it was not a natural collapse caused by office fires.

At most, only the top half of the North Tower should have fallen, because heat rises and fire tends to travel upwards, given the very high location of the impact area. And then of course many buildings have suffered serious building fires without being brought down like the WTC.

All of the buildings at the World Trade Center Site were destroyed by controlled explosives on September 11, 2001. You do not have to be an Architect or an Engineer to tell that they collapsed due to all of the structural columns being destroyed at the same time and sequentially floor by floor. This is the only way the buildings could have fallen into their own footprint. It is impossible that they were destroyed by the 2 planes that crashed into the 2 World Trade Center Towers.

I have an engineering degree in electronics. I have also obtained an engineering degree in information technology. I now have 20 years of professional experience in advanced software projects in the high-tech technical automation market.
The way the WTC1 and WTC2 steel-towers collapsed, after burning less than 1 hour, simply cannot be explained by the oxygen starved office fires which were the result of the plane impacts. Especially after the kerosine had all burned off. The buildings disintegrated at almost free-fall speed. The part of the towers below the impact zones, which should have been completely intact and strong, did not provide any resistance in the symmetrical freefall collapse of the buildings. The limited pile of rubble remaining is not consistent with a 450 meter tall towers. The symmetrical nature and freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

There are hundreds of inconsistencies in the events. The most striking for me are the collapse of WTC 7 and the foreknowledge of the events. If the collapse of WTC 7 was totally unanticipated, then how many other buildings in the world are in danger of seven second complete collapse due to a few small fires? Foreknowledge includes Gulliani's interview where he states that he was informed that the first tower (south tower) was going to come down in 10 minutes. Additionally, there are the elevated levels of stock put options on United Airlines, American Airlines, and Boeing; Larry Silverstein's comments on pulling WTC 7; Silverstein not eating breakfast at the top of the north tower on that day which he did daily otherwise; and CNN and BBC's anouncing that WTC7 had collapsed 20 minutes before it did.

The scientific evidence is overwhelming that the events of 9/11 involved participation by the Bush Administration...at the very least treason, at the most murder. We need an independent investigation to expose the lies and bring the real criminals to justice. We need the mainstream media to stop supporting policies that lead our nation to war (which in turn feed their own coiffers) and investigate the news, reporting the real facts.

I knew from at least Sept. 12, 2001 that the 9/11 events were a false-flag operation due to the literally impossible rapidity and thoroughness with which the government's full, profusely-illustrated story of what had happened was publicly released. All subsequently available information since has completely verified my the judgment I made about the bottom-line responsibility and authorship of the attacks that day.

If planes brought down the two Twin Towers buildings, then why are they they only two buildings in the entire history of the world to be brought down by planes? Why did they fall in on themselves and not just burn at the top, as one would expect from other, similar crashes? Why did the third Tower fall? Why were explosions heard by many eye-witnesses prior to the collapse of the buildings?

After obtaining a Diploma of Agriculture (Longerenong, Victoria) I spent my early years as an employee, then contractor, in Queensland. I obtained a block of virgin bush in Western Australia which I cleared and developed as a sheep and grain farm. With that accomplished I moved to Perth and enrolled at the University of Western Australia. On graduating I worked as a research officer for the Department of Agriculture for a number of years then embarked on a project manufacturing solar tracking devices based on a patented concept and finally moved to consulting.
It is my belief that it is important for those who dispute the official explanation for the WTC collapses to stick rigidly to the evidence which stands up to scientific scrutiny. I have now written and co-authored a number of papers examining various aspects of the collapses (Journal of 9/11 Studies). All observations are in accord with controlled demolition but not with fire and impact damage. The NIST report falls far short of a proper scientific study.

You will find no secret agents sanity for embarking on a murderous rampage against his fellow Americans, when he knows pertinent that those who ask him to do that, probable men will be gone in the next election, and that they will no longer cover it.

It seems incredible to me that anyone can believe that these collapses of buildings into their own footprints at near free fall speed can be attributed to the forces of gravity aided by structural damage from the planes and heat from burning office materials weakening the steel structure. Once I read the work of Stephen Jones, BYU Physics Dept., Emeritus, on thermite reactions I concluded that a controlled demolition was the most likely explanation of how the 3 trade center buildings came down in the way they did.

The main evidence which makes me believe there's a problem in the official version is the lack of transparency of all those Commissions, and the way they still refuse to discuss questions raised by scientists and experts.

On the balance of physical as well chemical analytical evidence available from NIST, EPA, FEMA and and the open peer-reviewed scientific literature, it appears to be possible that the three buildings WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 were in fact brought down by a controlled demolition using (resonantly wired) Al/S/Fe2O3 based thermite explosives, possibly in form of a silica based sol-gel coating applied to the central steel cores of the towers and/or WTC-7. A truly independent group of engineers and scientists (possibly composed only of non-US citizens from other NATO/G-7 countries) should be set-up to investigate this possibility.

Initial steps towards an electrical engineering degree were cast aside when I discovered linguistic anthropology, a field that I still enjoy after 39 years of teaching it at the University of Texas. I have not lost, however, a deep interest in physics and engineering.
Common sense suggested from the moment of watching the buildings fall, that they were demolished deliberately and by explosive means. Such demolition and the required time for set-up, as well as the subsequent cover-ups by various government agencies and commissions requires the conclusion that multiple elected agents of the executive and legislative branches of this government were complicit in the 9/11 crime.

The official investigation was insufficient in it's scope. Much of the post-collapse evidence has been left out of the official investigation. The questions that have been raised due to the post-collapse evidence have been ignored and certainly left unanswered. The official explanations for the 3 major collapses are not backed by physical evidence. Catastrophes that would be considered minor compared to the events of 9/11 have been investigated with greater care and completeness than what has been done and reported by NIST and FEMA. A more thorough investigation of the cause of the collapse of those three buildings is long overdue.

I'm a tenured professor at MIT, and have been teaching there for the past 15 years. I started off as a field consultant working with structural engineers, and gradually moved up in the industry. After I received my doctorate I moved back to Boston, and started teaching at MIT.
It all started when I first saw the attack on television. There was an abundance of information, supplied by, 'experts', and the media. However, there were so many questions left unanswered. I took the liberty of running some of the numbers myself. I had to do this because the collapse just seemed too precise, falling onto it's own footprint, the near freefall speed of the collapse. Even other factors, like the explosions heard on the lower floors, are trivialized by the media. The numbers just don't add up.

I am an economist and a student of public affairs. I have no technical expertise that qualifies me to judge these matters. But I can read, can listen, and have become convinced that the official story of what happened on 9/11/01 simply cannot be true.
The official story of the collapse of building 7, delayed until August 2008, not mentioned once in the 911 commission report, defies credibility. The NIST report on the towers, to a lay person, could, possibly be true. But the official story of the collapse of building 7 cannot be true. And if that isn't true, the tower collapse story probably isn't true either.

This official version of 9/11 is simply NOT believable! This is clearly a controlled demolition independent of the plane collision

Statement: The events on 9/11 will remain one of the worst crimes of the 21st century, and served already as pretexts for wars that claimed thousands of lives. They compromised the relation of Western countries with large parts of the world, and have already been used to strip the population of Western countries off vital democratic rights. There is compelling evidence that, in contrast to what the world has been told about the 9/11 events, the WTC towers were destroyed by controlled demolition. Consequently, one may conclude that the so-called 'attack on America' was in fact an inside job. Bringing the truth to light is crucial for enabling future generations to live in a more peaceful and just world.
