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.

Physics was my favorite subject in high school, although I also enjoyed mathematics greatly. I attended WPI for engineering, and took courses in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc., graduating BSCE with distinction, with an emphasis in environmental engineering. Following graduation, I have worked in water resource management, and most recently performing civil engineering and land surveying work, mostly associated with single family house construction. I am the owner of a small engineering and surveying firm in Great Barrington, MA. I have no particular experience with explosives. I don't watch TV.
The collapse of WTC was used as justification for an illegal unprovoked attack upon the people of Iraq, and an assault upon freedom and liberty at home and abroad. Scott Ritter, U.S. Marine, following 9/11, predicted our invasion of Iraq, and has further predicted a planned invasion of Iran. The U.S. government needed a reason to enter Iraq, and I believe 9/11 was it. I have watched Mr. Richard Gage's compelling video How the Towers fell, and I believe after watching it that he is correct. Controlled demolition, an inside job. A truly independent investigation is needed!

The NIST report of a progressive gravity collapse of the towers and WTC #7 initiated by the fires, is unsupported by the video evidence of gravity free fall of the structural members without resistance. Such a conclusion would clearly contradict Newton's Laws of motion and the principles of conservation of energy. Evidence of unreacted nanothermite and the by-products of a thermitic reaction found in the dust is very damning and cannot be ignored. This and other evidence presented here strongly supports the theory of a controlled demolition of the towers and a new proper investigation needs to be undertaken.

My first doubts came up when, on 9/11/2001, I saw the towers collapse for the third time, as with controlled demolition. When I later heard that 10% of the 30000 people who worked there had died, I was convinced that the official story was wrong.

My concerns range from political motivation and benefit to physical impossibilities. A plane cannot bring down a skyscraper or melt structural steel. Building 7 didn't even have a plane hit it and it got demolished as did the twin towers. The NIST is full of it and when I say it I'm missing two letters.

No steel framed high-rise had ever collapsed due to fire before 9-11-01, none since. Yet we are asked to believe that THREE buildings collapsed due to fire on 9-11-01. Many buildings both before and after 9-11 have fallen due to planned explosive demolition. The official pancake theory of WTC1 and WTC2 doesn't hold up. All you have to do is watch a video. The pancake theory posits that the floors collapse one on top of the next. That's not what you see. To say that the three buildings collapsed is not really accurate, the buildings disintegrated. Large amounts of material were ejected laterally from WTC1 and WTC2. Reinforced concrete turned to dust in midair, and the buildings fell so fast that it's clear that the building structure presented no resistance at all. In the words of Dan Rather: Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when a building was destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down. Where came the energy to slice steel girders and pulverize concrete? Not from a kerosene fire, that's for sure, yet that's what we're asked, no told, to believe. We need to reopen this investigation.

I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

I received my BSME from Portland State University in June 2014. I've only recently begun my professional engineering career.
I've long been concerned by the speed and thoroughness of the collapse of the three WTC towers. If high-rise steel structures could collapse from fire alone, I can't imagine that most people would feel comfortable stepping foot in one. I appreciate what AE911Truth is doing to raise awareness about building 7 because it is the key.

I remember quite vividly when the buildings came down ' I saw it on TV in real time. I was stunned, it didn't make any sense to me, especially that they came straight down. I asked many colleagues including structural engineers to see if I had missed something. No one had a good explanation. And I was unaware of any steel framed building that had collapsed as the result of a fire. I was not particularly aware of Building 7 until I saw the video at the AE911Truth booth at the AIA convention. That collapse really doesn't make sense. I don't know what really happened, but I am glad to know that there are lots of others with specific knowledge of building structural performance who are also wondering. The official report seems to be full of holes.

It has been shown through video evidence that the towers have fallen at free fall speed. This cannot be accomplished without demolition explosives. This occurrence was not mentioned in the 9/11 report and therefore the report is not useful and does not illuminate what happened on that day. A true investigation needs to follow to know precisely what happened and why explosives were present on each and every floor so that they could fall at free fall speed, as well as why building seven which was not hit by a plane could be destroyed by fire alone.

Given my knowledge of basic structural mechanics, properties of steel, and the structure of a light construction office towers, I think it would be impossible for the buildings to fall as they did from the jet crashes and subsequent fire, which was not hot enough to melt steel.

World Trade Centers 1 and 2 fell at the speed of gravity, with none of the concrete supporting below the fire line impeding it's progress in ANY way. The buildings did not simply just grown, roll and break over the edge of the fire line level as would be the natural expectation. There has been much not said about the subterranean explosions heard prior to the buildings falling into their own footprint. WTC7 was far more blatant in that it was imploded. Early (same day) reports from the ground, to clear the area by foreign accent troops that were recorded, played, and never shown again by it's own right show prior knowledge of the planned destruction. Not to mention the obvious way that this building was de-pillared and forced to drop straight down, (where the claims are that 60-some pillars would have had to strategically given way simultaneously). Educated, savvy, and average people raise an eye to the fact that never before, and never since Sep 11 2001, has any concrete and steel building ever fallen due to fire, let alone fire only burning for 1 to 7 hours. CRITICAL THINKING IS NOT A CRIME!!!

There is too much conflicting information and the official sources continue to maintain a shroud of secrecy around the events that led up to the collapse of the WTC. A complete and transparent investigation is needed to set the record straight.

I have worked with explosives in the surface mining area: designing the drilling & rock blasting, mine design and production.
In my opinion the twin towers and building 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition: According to all the reports the towers took about ten seconds to hit the ground. therefore the buildings collapsed at free fall (by using the law of gravity, H=1/2 at2). In controlled demolition the explosives are distributed on the building key points and detonated simultaneously.

The building collapse seems a result of other explosions that was places at the lowest part of the buildings, and at some other locations located on the main bearing points of the structures. no lateral forces applied at the upper level of such huge structures would cause the sudden collapse of the entire structures.

I first became aware that the official government story regarding the building collapses was suspect after attending the 911-Inquiry Conference in San Francisco in March 2004. Since that time, I have been part of the 9-11 Truth Community, and have kept abreast of the developments arising from the ongoing research efforts of a number of dedicated individuals. In particular, watching video footage of the building collapses, hearing the numerous eye-witness accounts of explosions prior to the buildings collapsing, and learning that molten steel was present in the building debris (which, due to the laws of physics, could not possibly have arisen from a hydrocarbon fire--even under ideal circumstances--given the significantly higher melting temperature of steel), lead me to believe that the official story is simply not plausible. Learning more recently that evidence of nano-thermite was discovered in a sample of the building material, was particularly disturbing and I believe strongly that we need to push for a new investigation into the events of 9-11.

It definitely appears that Bldg #7 was a controlled demolition along with the other towers. It was announced on TV that #7 was going to come down and I also saw a clip of Larry Silverstein say pull it, which is a demolition term. Popular Mechanics said it was brought down by fire, which is totally contradictory to what the news and silverstein said. How could all these explosives be set for #7 between 11AM and 5:20PM? It takes weeks of planning to set explosives for demolition. This leads me to believe that the explosives were set long before 9/11. The fact that the ground was still burning up to 3 months after is also an indication that jet fuel was not the culprit. Witnesses said there was greenish smoke coming from the ground and some rescue workers said there shoes were melting. What happened to all the office furniture and door knobs in the buildings?

The fall of WTC 7 did it for me. The fact that BBC had announced it prior to the collapse, and that it had not been hit by any airplane. Then if fell perfectly...the third skyscraper that day that just fell perfectly into its own footprint. No way...Then the media blackout on that building and not a word in the commission report...WTC 7 was very obviously a controlled demolition and no one puts that together on the day of 911...It had to have been planned. Inescapable conclusion.

The building 7 collapse was obviously a controlled demolition. There was no direct plane crash, and a diesel building fire somehow caused a perfect demolition internal collapse. This was no accident, and to me, completely discredits the official report, and must be investigated and scientifically explained. I would like a release of any and all evidence related to 9/11, so the public can decide. There are many unanswered questions in my mind. How come raw materials from the demolished building are hidden away in warehouses, and not publicly available? Let independent auditors test metal from the wreckage for nano-thermite. Why is there no open scientific scrutiny and study? Why is the public prevented from seeing an analyzing the evidence? Why were air force pilots kept occupied training for the exact scenario (hijacking exercise) the day of the attacks? (air traffic controller saying is this real world, or an exercise). Where are the black boxes? Security footage tapes? Release the pentagon footage - all of it (there must be some hi-res footage not publicly released), showing the crash, to refute claims it was a cruise missile / inside job, and confirm it was a plane. Explain the Pennsylvania crash - why are there no large plane parts? Explain how black boxes can fail to survive all crashes. These are designed to survive, and yet *all* 4 vanished? This isn't possible. If it were, then there are serious problems with black-box design and a national redesign should be in force. Again, science to overcome this exact scenario (crashes) somehow failed? This contradicts the official report, and must be explained. Explain how diesel can melt steel. Modern material science is advanced enough to show jet fuel can't melt steel (1400 degree jet fuel fires can't melt steel at almost 2800 degrees), so how *did* it melt? Refute nano-thermite questions with evidence. Again, why does science contradict the official report? If it is eventually determined nano-thermite was actually used (contrary to the official findings), then go further, and identify who could have done such a thing? On such a massive scale? Undetected? Open up video security footage from inside the buildings to help identify the individuals involved, expose street camera footage to allow vehicles in/out to be identified so we can understand who could have done this and how they pulled it off. Motive and opportunity. Who stood to profit from 9/11? Follow the money trail. This hasn't received enough investigative attention. The whole affair smells of a cover-up. Too much contradiction with science, too many (easily answered) unanswered questions. If there is nothing to hide, why is all the evidence hidden away in private? All of these issues and many more need serious investigation, openly, by the public, which can only happen with access to the evidence in question. Currently there are too many secrets, too much evidence held in secret, preventing people from analyzing the evidence openly, drawing their own conclusions, and thus determining their own truth. Let's make the evidence public, so people can find truth, get closure, and move on once and for all.

Before 9/11 no steel-frame high-rise building had ever collapsed due to fire, and the collapse of WTC 7 was straight-down, symmetrical in nearly free-fall, extremely improbable except in a controlled demolition.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering from California State University Long Beach and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of North Dakota. I also did work toward a Ph.D. (uncompleted) in Energy Engineering from the University of North Dakota. Since August 2001 I have been employed by the USEPA in Region 5, Chicago in the permitting branch of the Water Division.
There is nothing I can add at this point that has not been covered, with evidence, by many professionals and eyewitness accounts. All I can say is that the perpetrators of this ghastly crime must be brought to justice and be held accountable for their crimes. They are responsible for what happened on that fateful day and for the results that continue even today.

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.

I was EXTREMELY skeptical to say the least when first told of this possibility of 9/11 being staged. Putting by disbelief aside for a while proved to be the most eye-opening experience of my life! Further investigation into the WHO & WHY has been akin to a born-again experience in finding the REAL truth of who runs this country and the world. I've always wondered why things are the way they are and now it makes total sense. If you truly LOVE & CHERISH this country as I do and want it to remain FREE for your children's children,,, then pass the word to anyone who will listen about this site and what really occurred on 9/11. If we gain enough support,,, this can be the TRIGGER that awakens the rest of the world to the real reason behind this travesty! Wake-up and be the Patriot you were meant to be! You don't have to go fighting in the streets to be a patriot. Simply spread the information and let the process of information exchange and learning take care of the rest. May God truly bless us all!

Elected to Village Trustee for three terms (6 years); EMT volunteer since 1993; Scout Master; Sailor; Progressive
I never believed the official story since day one. Three of us watched it on TV and all agreed what we saw is not possible. I understand what it takes to melt steel. I understand that lots of smoke means a cool limited active fire. I simply do not believe a small band of foreigners could so completely fool the entire US security system. I do not pretend to know who was behind this; but it is clear all three buildings were controlled demolitions. I suspect Building #7 was used to bring down the Towers; then demolished to hide evidence. The Pentagon story is just as un-believable/Improbable. An investigation must be started ASAP to find out what actually happened. Rocky M. Van Asten, P.E.

I earned my BS degree in Civil Engineering from San Jose State University in 2004. I worked as a Project Manager for a general contractor for a year before going into design. I have worked as a design engineer for a private consulting firm for approximately 5 years. My work experience is mainly in commercial and mixed-use land development and transportation engineering.
I have a hard time believing that the impact of the planes alone caused the towers to collapse. I would like to see a full investigation conducted by an impartial party to determine the truth about what happened to the twin towers on 9/11.

I am a retired nuclear power engineer. I spent almost 30 years in various engineering, operations and training areas within a nuclear power plant.
As a Canadian I must admit that I fear the U.S. (and its allies) and their agendas more than I fear terrorists. I don't believe governments or special power groups are smart enough to pull off a 9/11 event without disclosure and leaks - but something terrible is a amiss. If you look at the major decisions coming out of your Obama administration, many of them defy logic and seem incredibly suicidal almost. There is a sinister agenda being executed and we must expose it.
