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 Engineering and Applied Science from the California Institute of Technology and an MS in Computer Science from Cal State Chico. I worked for 21 years designing high speed integrated circuits for gigabit rate data transmission at HP and later for Agilent Laboratories. I designed and hold the patent on the 64b/66b line code used in 10Gb/s ethernet backbone of the internet long haul network.
Whatever you think about towers 1 and 2, building 7 was only mildly damaged and it was not even hit by a plane. The fact that it fell in its own footprint, at near free-fall acceleration, can only be explained by the use of pre-planned explosives placed weeks in advance by someone cooperating with the building security. Given that the building was largely inhabited by government agencies, it is very hard not to conclude that 9/11 was a false flag, a 'new Pearl Harbor', designed to justify a fraudulent war in the middle east. If America is to retain any shred of legitimacy, it is essential that the truth about this event be uncovered and the perpetrators be punished.

After viewing the documentation about the evidence surrounding World Trade Center 7, and comparing it to structural characteristics of building materials under fire conditions, the explanations given by NIST don't quite match up. While some structural failure of the building after prolonged exposure to fire conditions fueled by office materials is possible, large structural steel beams would yield slowly over time and the building collapsing all at once is all but impossible, unless it was engineered to do so.

I'm a machinist and welder by trade with 10 years in the trade. Im familiar with melting points and temperatures of controlled and uncontrolled fires.
There's no doubt in my mind that 911 was an inside job. No steel constructed building has ever collapsed from fire, even after 10, 14, 17, and 19, hours of burning! These buildings collapsed perfectly. Dr. Steven Jones found traces of thermite from samples taken from the building site. The windows on both sides of the hole in the Pentagon were still intact where the wings should of hit. All the news media had the same questions when reporting live that day, questions about the lack of debris, questions about the sound of bombs, and explosions, but the next day none of those questions were asked or ever brought up again by these mainstream media sources.

My name is Carlos Ugarte, and I was a student at Jefferson high and was in their welding program for three years. My instructor (a great welder teacher and friend) Jack Mills taught me everything I know. I'm not certified yet but will be soon. I learned a lot about metal even gained a welders love for it. So I know when I say it starts to melt at 2500f no less, and its not even liquid at that point just structurally weak. An open flame fire being fueled by jet fuel(high octane) can only peak at about 1200f....???? there's to many blanks.
Not enough people know use these peoples techniques against them create a state of awe in the media make sure people are listening...that is the first step then we can pursue those responsible!

Welder and metal worker. Builder and innovator. Very familiar with the properties of steel due to experience in welding.
The natural upward-force resistance of the buildings, opposing the downward fall from the top, [especially in light that the buildings increased their strength very substantially each floor (from the top down) by the thickening of the central core columns], leaves no other possible conclusion than that an exorbitantly high volume of intelligently directed and provided energy was necessary to accomplish these unnatural, symmetric, plowing through of themselves at nearly freefall speed.

I am a welder/metal fabricator and have a pretty good understanding of how metals work.
Metal-framed structures do not fail due to fire unless that fire is oxy-acetylene fueled. Jet fuel is extremely flammable but nowhere near acetylene. Not to mention most of the fuel looked like it exploded on impact. Also, 10-ton steel beams were thrown several hundred feet from the building, and molten steel (which is on video to see) flowed from the windows... nothing about the official report makes any sense.

There must be a more thorough examination of the events that took place on September 11th, 2001. The fact the the official book published by The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States does not contain a single word regarding the collapse of WTC 7 in particular; as well as, many conflicting eyewitness testimonies and a list of unexplained evidence which is in stark contrast to the official explanation, simply warrants another look. It, the obvious planned attack, has not been satisfactorily explained to the many persons who have suffered due to the lack of a complete investigation. Until this honest investigation occurs, the negative impact of this event shall haunt the many persons who clearly see the open ended questions that linger and wreak havoc on the psychology of civilized society.

I am a student and learned how to weld when I was very young. I am not an expert, and I do not have a license. I do have logic and reason, which is enough to want to ask questions about events that seem strange.
I see the steel beams bent into horseshoe shapes, but the beam was not broken or even cracked. When welding, it takes a lot of heat to bend steel, and even then, I still manage to break the metal and make mistakes. I do not have the technology to bend giant steel beams. I live in the US where many chemicals can be made available to me through online purchases to heat any metals that need to be bent, but where would I find that in a cave in Afghanistan?

Prior to disability, I was an industrial construction welder/fitter. I worked primarily in the south on power plants, steel mills and paper mills along with some other projects and in one fabrication shop. I was Xray and bridge certified. I worked in this field until 2005 when hurricane Katrina took all my tools and forever changed my life.
I have experience in rigging and demolition. I've long had a fascination with imploded buildings and have been a sponge for knowledge of how buildings are imploded from the first one I saw. I could never reconcile the forensics of the collapsed buildings, the implosion-like free fall of the towers, the delayed collapse of Building 7 and the *cheesecloth* explanations, or lack thereof, forthcoming from the government *investigations*. There remains much to be explained and brought to light. The only things I can see that are clear are that the official explanations are invalid, that there is a strong network of interlinked motives for controlled demolition and that these clearly WERE controlled demolitions.

I have been around steel and welding most of my life. I was an inspector for a large rail car repair company for years and I had a lot of training in the field of inspecting welds and steel structure as well as other related topics. I know Jet fuel cannot melt steel or except in the most perfect condition weaken it.
The fact that building 7 fell at free fall speed as did the other 2 towers tells us that their were other forces in affect beside the short lived jet fuel fires that brought these towers down

It is painfully obvious to me... to anyone that has taken the time for personal investigation, that 9/11 is a government cover-up. A mass murder. For money, and political advantage. I am formulating a series of my own questions and concerns, and am in early stages of doing what I can for the cause. It is our collective efforts that will reveal the truth. If we as a nation cannot get to the bottom of this, we have failed as human beings, and will likely suffer a similar fate as the victims of 9/11.

I have been a welder for more than 10 years. I have taken special course for structural welding.
Low carbon steel used in construction of steel buildings bends under pressure. It does not break. Also the beams used in buildings are larger and stronger at the lower floors, it means that the fall of Building 7 must have been slowed down as each falling floor hits a lower floor.

I am a selfemployed welder who knows how fires could have never caused those core column beams to be sliced as the one showed in pictures why our government are so ignorant when it comes to looking for those who are responsible for this horrific crime are as guilty as those domestic terrorist who implemented and were at the highest levels of the Bush administration and I have a strong feeling after doing a lot of research that Israel had plaid a pArt as well there were many corporations who had motives to have a trillion dollar profit from suplying all the vbhardware that the two wars would require in search of the terrorist who never existed to kill .Following those that did profit and gained power and to secure security for Israel are in my oppinion those responsible this part I am sure of though and it was not Arabs with Box cutters responsible for sure the eviudence states so many diferent ways that a cover-up took place the only reason a coverup took place would be to protect the governments role in it.Any body who has the courage to look at the evidence comes to a painful truth that leaves them changed completely and have no longer the trust for government corporation real intent to provide safety to the people because they are cold blooded mass murders and need to be tried in a transparent trial by a jury .Obama is also as guilty as the previous administration with all the evidence to deny the people the right to see real true justice is helping to protect those criminals and that makes him one as well .These criminals are running our country for the sake of organized criminal glory for power and profit at the expense of killing innocent people terrorizing and torture for this shows how cold blooded and ruthless they are and have no care in the world for human life or suffering until there brought to justice wer are enslaved to the needs of real monsters hell bent on playing the same staged type event agin except you can count on it being more shocking than 911 was...
There is no doubt explosives were used. There are no doubts about it there was a cover-up to prevent evidence being gathered about the reason those buildings were brought down were irresponsible investigators to have such a bogus fraudulent report intended to put blame away from those in our government who were responsible and the military industrial complex , the oil cartels ,and new Nazi style government entities for control over people and removing rights to liberty .The Taliban gained nothing follow the money and at the end of that trail are the ones responsible for the collapses..

The forensic evidence is overwhelming to say the least concerning the events of 9/11 the barrage of information is more than just theory it is in fact truth. The Buildings were professionally demolished by other explosive means than what is said in the Commission report.

Work in a refinery for 25yrs. and steel will not melt from gas from planes. Steel has to get to a temperature of 2300 to 2400 degrees before it will melt. Jet fuel will only get to 900 to 1000 degrees, not hot enough to melt steel.
It was an inside job. There is no way it was brought down by a plane. It was a controlled demolition by the people that were leasing the building and some of the people in the White House. They new what was going to happen, that is why they were not there. Like the governor of New York. Why was he and all the other people in building 7,because they knew about what was going to happen.

I don't claim to know a thing about building construction or architecture, but I know at what temperatures hydrocarbons burn, and I know steel, and something just doesn't add up with the official story.

I am a welder, and I melt metal together for a living... the moment the first tower fell I knew that whatever made it collapse had to be hotter than jet fuel, the jet fuel would have had to burn at over 1500c to melt structural steel... and the fires inside the south tower were dieing... you could tell by how much black smoke that was coming out of it. I may not be an engineer but I know metal and there is no way in hell that that jet fuel was hot enough to melt steel.

From personal observation of explosive demolitions, the footage of the building collapses could be used as educational tools of the correct way to accomplish bringing down a building in the most effective way possible. An airliner crashing into a building absolutely could not achieve this result.

My skills are centered in various skilled trades that include: master electrician, welder, machinist, A&P mechanic, master hvac, plumber, carpenter. I have both theoretical and practical knowledge of structural design, mechanical design, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics. Some might consider them hobbies but I have a lifetime of employment history utilizing these skills.
It is my opinion that based on the visual evidence available from multiple angles that there are far too many anomalies to accept the conclusions drawn by the NIST report. The visual evidence suggests controlled demolition and not a structural failure caused by the impact of airliners. As an experienced welder/machinist I have a reasonable grasp of the physical properties of structural steel including its conductive properties. No reasonable explanation has ever been offered to explain the pyroclastic bloom that blanketed much of lower Manhattan. My opinion is that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. The Twin Towers exhibited near vaporization of concrete, glass and the ejection of steel at velocities impossible to have been caused by compression failure.
