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.

In light of the fact that no steel (and concrete) structured building in history has ever completely collapsed due to fire, and observing the physics and other facts regarding the twin towers and bldg 7 collapses, one needs some factual engineering data to support the official story. The known facts and data suggest strongly that the official story is inadequate and erroneous to explain the collapses......but EXPLOSIVES do explain them.

I worked in the World Trade Center for several years. It was seen by many as a trusted feat of engineering, but more importantly a safe place to work and view the City - even in sever windy weather. Not knowing, for sure, why it collapsed will forever leave scars and breed doubt about the safety of such structures. Not only those who lost love ones, but those who place their trust in new structures, need to know that everything of conjecture was thoroughly reviewed; that design, fabrication, and operation of new buildings breed out whatever weaknesses that could lead to such a collapse. The evidence clearly leaves in doubt that this was not done. Trust in our government is just as important. As it stands, how can the public trust their elected officials or appointed staff? A new, properly conducted investigation is critical to all concerned!

I love and enjoy philosophy - and have studied all perspectives surrounding many types of events and ideas. My goal is to understand and comprehend every perspective in this world and regard it with an open mind, thus coming up with my own truth and opinions.
I have sufficient beliefs to understand that fear is the best and one of the only ways to undermine and control the public. The 9/11 collapse happened too quickly - way too quickly with regards to how firm the buildings were engineered. For this and other lengthy claims, I have no doubts that creating fear was an intent by who ever caused it (military project is possible), and thus a re-investigation should be undertaken.

A few years ago I saw a youtube video that shows that the BBC actually reported the collapse of building 7, 25 minuets before it actually collapsed. I did not even know what Building 7 was then, so I researched it, and that is when I knew that the official story did not add up. Building 7 was not hit by an airplane, yet it collapsed in an unprecedented fashion. The media kept did not report on it after 9/11, and it was not even included in the 9/11 commission report! That is enough to ask the question: What REALLY happened on 9/11?

Throughout my years in the working world, structured problem solving has always been foremost in approaching any issue. These same principles are the ones used in the analysis of the three World Trade Center collapses.
From the moment the towers collapsed, something didn't seem right when there was nothing left but a pile of rubble and a lot of dust. After becoming involved and researching numerous websites, I added my name to the petition because the evidence is overwhelming. Building #7 is the smoking gun.

I graduated Cum Laude with an Associate's in Mechanical Engineering from Cincinnati Technical College in 1984, and worked as sub-contract designer for various companies. Those involving structural steel design were Buschman Conveyor, Aircon Industries, Tri-Manufacturing and Formica. Performed calculations involving load requirements of structural members as well as deflection calculations due to loading of beams. I am very familiar with deformation and melting temperatures of many materials including aluminum, cast iron, and various types of steels.
Early on, after the 9/11 incident, I was very curious about many of the events that happened during the 9/11 attack and shortly after. It boggled my mind that there was nothing identifiable at the location of the site, such as telephones, desks, or any real chunks of concrete. It also boggled my mind how quickly all the steel found was quickly sent to another country to quickly be forgotten about. Nothing about much of what happened seemed to make any sense with what was reported.

Sufficient technical and architectural questions regarding buildings' collapse have risen to make quite reasonable of the need to do a thorough, objective and accurate analysis to either verify or disprove what has been presented by the mainstream media.

WTC twin towers and Bldg 7 - the way these buldings collapsed -symetrical- does not correlate to the forces induced by the planes impact .. in this case localized failure should have occured first at the level of the impacts before the the whole buildings collapsed .. in my opinion other causes colaborated to cause this tragic event.

The structure of the lower levels of a high-rise building is calculated to bear the vertical loads of all the floors above, as well as the bending moments caused by wind loads. It is impossible that these massive structures collapse at nearly free-fall speed as a result of the collapse of a number of floors near the top of these towers. Since the nature of the collapse is in contradiction with the NIST report, an independent investigation is needed.

Ever since 2001 I've been fascinated by the events of 9/11. At first I was shocked (as the whole world was) but as I started to dig deeper, something just didn't add up, particularly with regard to Building 7. I'm curious to find out why that building went down. That curiosity has led me here.

Especially in light of Rudolph Giuliani's politics and all that came out of 9/11 (Wars, surveillance, TSA, ICE, etc.) We MUST look closely at this. When ASCE supported the NIST report, I lost all faith & honor in my profession! I KNEW that towers were demolished on the morning of 9/11 just by observation. I didn't learn of Bldg 7 for about 2 years - but when I did, it was a mushroom cloud of smoking gun! (Also in light of the BBC reporter standing in front of Bldng 7 reporting it's collapse ~15 minutes prior.)

Graduate of the Provincial Institute in Toronto - that has been absorbed by George Brown College. I use George Brown College as my school.I started in the HVAC engineering field, then moved on to structural engineering with the Thomas H McKaig firm in Buffalo NY. During my tenure, I progressed from designer, to project engineer and designed many high rise buildings, schools and structures in the Buffalo and Western New York area. After 7 years, I went to Hooker Chemical Corp HQ in Grand Island NY as design engineer, then progressed to project engineer in the chemical industry and have engineered many structures in seismic and high wind exposure conditions. Since the late 70's I moved to Texas and became involved in the energy field, pipelines and process facilities and have been in project management in engineering and construction in various countries, USA, SE Asia, China, India and the Middle East.
In a brief summary, the WTC I & II were engineered to withstand a collision from a Boeing 707 fully loaded with passengers, freight and fuel.The design for wind is greater than the force of 9/11 aircraft strikes.The structural steel was coated with over 2 inches of fire protection to withstand fires that generate heat greater than paper or kerosene burning.This would contribute to the evidence the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition and fall on it's footprint.

The events on 9/11, as described by the US government, personnel and agencies, are a physical impossibility within the domain of our universe and its physics systems. The people of this country deserve better than to be brutally murdered by their own government. An in-depth, independent and actually plausible analysis and reconstruction of the events should be sanctioned and the actual terrorists need to be brought to justice, whoever they may be.

With the amount of control those building fell with, it was absolutely beyond a doubt pre-planned. It takes a very intelligent team to plan and place explosives that did bring down all 3 buildings. The structural steel is called red iron, by the Iron workers. It is made to withstand flexing, corrosion, heat, and fatigue. AS we can all imagine what kind of abuse mother nature can dish out. If anything building 7 should be an absolute red flag, and if that's a red flag so is the whole scheme. Their are interviews all over about how this 911 incident had to happen to inject our military into the middle east, 7 countries in five years.

After reviewing the evidence I believe that the official explanation of the destruction of the WTC buildings is inadequate. It fails to address the overwhelming evidence that controlled explosives / destruction was responsible for the remarkably controlled collapse of these buildings. I believe that a truly independent, public and transparent investigation should be undertaken to determine whether this evidence is substantial.

In my opinion, NIST's explanation of the building 7 collapse is flawed. It is unlikely if not impossible that the building would collapse due to office fires alone.

Building No. 7 fell much too neatly to have not been planned. It fell as perfectly as any other building I have seen over the years that has been professionally demolished. 9/11 was not an attack by terrorists. It was staged by elements of our own government to create fear and in return for our fear, to gain more control of our constitutional freedoms. On 9/11, we traded freedom for security.

For Building 7 to collapse the way it did could not be the result of office fires. The collapse was very fast and symmetrical. For this to happen all load bearing columns would have to fail at once. The collapse had all the hallmarks of a well planned classic demolition. This then leads to suspicion concerning the other two towers featured on the news media, Buildings 1&2. The Towers looked as though perfectly timed detonations were preceding the falls of the buildings, top down demolitions.

As an engineer I am able to see that all the three towers were demolished in a controlled way. WTC7: free fall. WTC 1+2: the demolition wave is clearly visible. The red-grey chips show that nano-thermate was used. The official story is faulty.

My father, who managed the fire department at a large international airport, woke me up to the strangeness and anomalies of the events on Sept 11th 2001. I have spent my building career studying engineering in most common building materials, although I live in a remote rural area where licenses are not required to build.
I have spent the last 14 years researching about those events, seperating the wheat from the chaff so to speak, and have come to the unpleasant conclusion that the three collapses in NY were not the work of some Arab hijackers under the direction of bin Laden, but a carefully planned demolition and mass murder by agents within the shadow governments of two nuclear-armed countries, for obvious geopolitical advantages.

It is absolutely astounding to me that people can be made to believe that buildings would collapse in the way WTC 1, 2 & 7 did without demolition. I have an engineering degree but were it not so, I think it would still be abundantly clear to me that anything above the point of impact would experience resistance of some kind from what's left below. You'd think it would be obvious to everyone. I guess that's a testament to the efficiency of the propaganda machine we call the news. People can be made to believe just about anything... even if it makes no sense whatsoever.

I graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering ITESMI have worked on engineering projects such as the Major Tower in Mexico City , the Banorte tower located in Santa Fe Mexico, Polanco tower in the downtown area of the city.
My only intention is to support its request that the US government reopen the investigation into what happened in New York on 11 September 2001. Based on the evidence, data , expert opinions ... but especially those who witnessed the destruction of that fateful day. The people of the United States deserve to know the truth about these facts.

How did tower 7 come down?Where are the plane parts?What happened to 85% of the debris? Where did thousands of tons of steel and concrete go?With the redundancy built into these structures , there is no way a relatively light aluminum airplane could penetrate this building like butter , resulting in a 1500 degree firemelting steel (which melts at 2800 degrees) thereby triggering a complete free-fall collapse of two of the World's best engineered structures into a pile of wheat chex. In addition , these skyscrapers are designed to withstand the impact of a large commercial jetliner.

Grew up in construction; Father was a Carpenter... Went 'Thru the Ranks' to finally become Project Engineer with Heavy Influence in ''Structural Logics''... Understand that Typical Building Fires do not get hot enough to create ''Molten Steel''... The Use of Thermite & High Explosives in this ''Event'' Obvious to a 10 Year Old...
Let's face it; it just 'doesn't fly'! Besides jet fuel not having the capacity to burn hot enough to melt steel, there's no way that there should've been enough force above to create the 'pancake' effect below. There is too much resistance from the floors below for the upper floors to have 'gone thru' as many floors below as it did. And building 7, what a friggin' joke! When I saw the penthouse drop two feet, seconds before the rest of the building dropped, it's game over, a controlled demo all the way. Of course, the fact that the building dropped at the same rate as a bowling ball would free fall from the same height, didn't help 'their' cause either; along with about a million other inconsistencies.
