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.

"Building 2, the second building hit and the first to ""collapse"" was hit two thirds of the way up. It breaks off at the impact point and a photo shows it leaning over at 20 degrees. The pile driver effect is gone at that point. The top third of the building is no longer pressing down on the bottom two thirds. No load = no buckling. Imagine a tree in the woods being struck by lightning two thirds of the way up. The top third breaks off and falls over. Then, starting at the top of the remaining ""stump"" which is two thirds the height of the original tree, a wave of destruction starts and goes down at near freefall, spewing out wood chips and sawdust. Where did all this this energy come from?"

Since witnessing the events of September 11th, 2001, it has been my belief that the World Trade Center buildings came down, not the result of terrorist attacks, but the result of a controlled demolition. Many have speculated on the contributing factors to the belief that within the U.S. Government, there were dark areas responsible for the destruction beyond that of the airline hijackings. AE911Truth provides compelling evidence that these beliefs are now supported by science and experts in the field.

While on active duty I never once allowed myself to consider any of the information some people were talking about; I believe it was that I didn't want that type of distraction taking away my energy in performing my assigned tasks. However, something happened to me after I retired and began working again as a 'civilian'. Over the last year, I've spent literally hundreds of hours reading, reading and reading, along with viewing excellent and fact-based documentaries on not just 9/11, but every major event in my lifetime. It has been an incredible awakening for me to realize that my own government has conducted such mass global manipulation, death and war, supposedly in the name of freedom and democracy. The more the people ask about 9/11, the less the media report it. For example, there is no reason for molten steel burning weeks afterward. There is no reason all three simply evaporated during descent. Why was all power cut off the weekend (maybe two weekends) prior to 9/11. Whoever planted the explosives had access to every single room in that building since all cameras and motion sensors were disabled. Building 7 could not have fallen on its own. No way. Pull it. But the biggest farce is the failure of the Pres and VP to provide testimony separately and under oath to the 9/11 commission.

As Artist /Shaman I have called in and developed a contemporary KwaHu Eagle Kachina the eagle animal protector spirit of America's freedom to help in the struggle to illuminate the truth of 9/11 and to heal the great pain and psychotic split this event has created. KwaHu Eagle first appeared in Charlottesville,Virginia this past 9/11/09 at the freedom of speech wall on the downtown mall. We opened sacred space and held a ceremony of healing and illumination. On the wall we recorded the 5 major signs of explosive demolition as seen in the dissolving of the 3 WTC buildings, on the ground we tied 800 prayer ties in memory of all 9/11 victims. KwaHu Eagle Kachina whose far sight gives insight into the unity of all peoples. May the healing truth prevail. KwaHu Eagle will appear again in Charlottesville this 9/11/10 to conduct a performance of illuminating ceremony, around the events of 9/11/01.
Seems apparent to me that when an event exhibits certain characteristics then those characteristics tell us what caused that event. In the case of the dissolving of the 3 WTC steel buildings on 9/11/01, The 5 major signs of explosive demolition were all present during the destruction of each building: 1)Swift descent of each Building 13.5 secs for each of the twin towers and 6.5 seconds for building 7. 2) volcanic size cloud of dust particles appeared as each building dissolved. 3) multiple explosions/blasting squibs were seen and heard by at least 115 firemen and many others present at the site of destruction. 4) Molten steel was present for many weeks afterward in the basements of the 3 destroyed buildings 5) 99% of the remaining steel fragments all fit nicely on flatbed trucks for ease of removal. On top of that we have active nano thermite present in dust samples collected at the event sites. This extraordinary combination of evidence indicating that all 3 buildings were explosively demolished certainly warrants a full independent investigation immediately!

On or about 9/12/01 I saw an article by the leading expert on demolitions with contracts with government, who unequivocally stated in his expert opinion the collapse of the twin towers was a controlled implosion. Within hours that newspaper page was removed from the web - and replaced by an article that stated essentially the opposite. No mention of a correction - just an Orwellian replacement of the record. Since then I have been very interested in finding out what really happened.

My shop has won most of the major Concours events in this country as well as events around the world. I was the in-house head of R&D for Arntz Engineering, San Fransisco, building the first Cobra replicas. My main responsibility was Chassis/Suspension design and development, including steel support sub-structures. I was an independent contractor for Excalibur Motor Cars, designing their Cobra replica and designing and building all the tooling and fixtures as well as the first 10 cars. I have been trained in most forms of welding. As part of that training I have had extensive background in metallurgy and the comparative strengths of various alloys and their uses. I have also trained as an aircraft A&P mechanic, specializing in WW II fighters, and have more than a passing knowledge of plane structure and design. I am an active 9/11 Truther, spreading info throughout the world.
As I watched the second plane hit the tower, I was astounded that it had not been shot down. When the Pentagon was hit, I knew that that could not happen. As I watched the Towers fall, I knew intuitively that what I was seeing was an impossibility. When I heard the official story I knew it was a lie. I have been searching for 9-11 Truth since 9-11. I would like a comprehensive explanation of William Rodriquez experience in the sub-basements of WTC1&2. The significance of the explosions (cutter charges) and what was the purpose of cutting the main beams (tension release/ loss of anchorage?). Publish the seismic evidence supporting his claim that the explosions in the sub-basements occurred approx. 9 & 14 seconds before the Towers were hit (source; Columbia University?). Explain how that ties in with Steven Jones thoughts on the molten metal pools in the basements and the Thermite/Thermate. A thoughtful analysis of a section of the Naudet Brother's film 9/11; Observation: The Fire Chief and the filmmaker walked into the lobby (first people in) and there were people horribly burned in the exit of the lobby. The marble had been literally blown off the walls. Most of the glass in the lobby was shattered. A fireman says . . . it looked like a plane had hit the lobby. They make the statement that they (the filmmakers)were later told that this damage was caused by fuel traveling down the elevator shafts and exploding into the lobby. Then they show people coming out of the elevators, and they have zero awareness that something is wrong. Fact:The towers were built as 3 separate buildings that were sealed off from each other to prevent just that type of fireball from traveling down the service/elevator shafts. The type of load that the planes put into the buildings would not have knocked the marble off the walls. An air burst of jet fuel into the lobby would not have the energy sufficient to blow the marble off the walls. But, high energy explosives that were

My main areas of expertise are welding, welding technology, and some metallurgy.
I've built truss, and support systems, at huge scales and I fail to see how the official 9/11 theory could possibly add up. I reserve any accusations, or judgments, but the Official story should bear the burden of proof. If for no other reason than to make aware to the Architects and Engineers around the world what could cause such a dramatic failure and how it can be prevented. Or if the buildings were properly, and/or overly, designed to handle the forces at play during 9/11, this issue is important on to many levels to be ignored, and deserves a complete and independent inspection that can account for the holes in the official story.

In mid-2003 I woke up to the truth of 9/11 after reading The War on Freedom by Nafeez Ahmed. Since then I have used the building collapse information as the strongest evidence of 9/11 having been an inside job. I have found that many people are not very technically-minded and cannot understand these concepts without a credible book or video presentation and have found Richard Gage's presentation and 9/11 Mysteries to be the best.

From my HVAC background, I know that hydrocarbon fires don't melt steel without a forced air supply. From my foundry and welding experience with many different metals, I know how long it takes to heat metals (steel) and I know about thermal conduction... it would take many hours of sustained, concentrated heat, to achieve the loss of strength alleged. But even if the steel was hot enough to remove 50% of it's strength, it still would have supported at least 10x it's design loading, since the engineers' design specified a 20x over-rating factor!!

I am currently an engineering student acquiring my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology in December of 2008, this year. My focuses are in thermodynamics, heat transfer, solidworks, and advanced dynamics. With Solidworks advanced flow analyses can be applied to the several modes of heat transfer for further analysis of structures. Also, metallurgy is another focus point along with structures. A vast knowledge of thermodynamics gives experience in combustion reactions and stoichiometry. While my soon upcoming degree is in mechanical, I am also versed in water chemistry as well, which, while it deviates from applicable sciences, it allows for further experience and knowledge of basic and advanced chemical reactions in a laboratory setting. Familiarity with error propagation and other statistical analyses in experimentation are also well within my range of expertise.
The investigations into the collapses are loaded with inconsistencies, missing data, and a lack of experimental data. There is not enough evidence in the official reports to have gained conclusive results or statements. While the evidence shown on this website is rather well presented, it does lack its own experiments performed on various types of structural steel using different modes of heat transfer. Empirical, video, and graphical representations of how heat (convective and radiative) travels through structural steel is needed to refute the most recent investigation's claims. Without this type of evidence to solidify theory, the NIST report will stand. Also, a fully-detailed, graphical representation of WTC-7's frame is needed to perform flow analysis on and simulate its collapse. The NIST investigation does not actually provide heat flow data for the entire-affected structure of the building; they in fact only show its collapse, which a video actually does a better job of showing. I may be mistaken, but was NIST not hired to complete the first investigation into 9/11? Why did they receive a second payment of 20 million dollars to perform a second, alternate investigation into just WTC-7. They should not have been paid a second time for an investigation they should have performed the first time around.

I am a student that is currently pursuing my diploma in welding technology that has an understanding in the reactivities of metals and alloys. I am constantly studying the anatomy of the collapses of the WTC buildings and Pentagon.
If the floors had collapsed on top of themselves (in a pancake fashion) there would have still been those 47 center steel columns rising into the air. It is scientifically impossible for a fuel that is kerosene based to significantly weaken, melt, let alone vaporize steel. The buildings were obviously detonated. All videos showing the collapse show detonations exploding out of the side of the buildings. NIST and FEMA have VERY questionable theories and bogus floor plans of the anatomy of the WTC complex

The buildings fell too quickly. Jet fuel burns at roughly 400F, compare that to the burning temperatures to steel, aluminum-copper alloy, and titanium. The b-b shape pellets of oxidized metal that were found on the streets of Ground Zero are similar to those given off from a torch cutting process.

I have been recycling metal for over 20 yrs. The metallurgy trade involves much manual labor to get all materials into small manageable pieces three ft. and under to get the best price upon sale, in my experience metal does not fail as what happened at the word trade center on 9/11/01. Small scale recycling of cars small sheds and buildings involves the handling up close of all aspects of a structure, vehicle, machine.
What happened on 9/11/01 does not in any way look like an accident,not anyone anywhere had ever seen such an event aside from a planned demolition ,the structural integrity of the three buildings known as the north and south towers and building seven was clearly manipulated to cause a controlled demolition,there is a preponderance of evidence that lends credence to this assertion, physics prove it so. statistically speaking I am very certain that the probabilities of the only three steel structures to collapse as a result of the brief fires observed on 911, for this to occur never before or since but only on that day there and then, those three buildings. it simply cannot happen I do not believe it not for a second!

The official 911 narrative of the WTC building collapses does not begin to explain the chemical or physical processses triggered by fire or otherwise capable of pulverising concrete into powder, hurling heavy steel beams hundreds of feet into neighboring buildings, or flinging human body parts onto rooftops. We cannot relent until questions like these are answered and those responsible for the evident controlled demolition of the three WTC buildings that collapsed nine years ago are brought to justice whoever they may be.

First thought was what they wanted everyone to believe. I have believed for a long time that things did not make sense or add up. Upon looking into all the videos and comments it is ubelievable how anyone can believe the fraudulant official story. The truth has to come out.

There are many 'things' related to the 9/11 Building collapses that have me aware of injustices done to life on site....I had friends perished and the emergency responders who perished and the truth of what happened to make the towers drop like that must be revealed in order for us to go on. Finding the truth is the only way to go. I want to live knowing the truth for those whom I lost.
