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 10 years of experience in the construction industry as an architect, mostly in conservation (as well as sustainable architecture). Conservation necessitates looking at old buildings and existing evidence of what happened in the buildings life. Looking at how buildings deteriorate or fail sometimes and assess method of rescue, reuse, adaptation and so on, is part of my everyday livelihood and experience.
Looking at the evidence of the 9/11 it makes me question what the media and government had broadcasted at the time, and that the debris was swept away so quickly without scientific investigation is not right. We need to learn from the experience, not run away from it. If we are to protect people's lives in the future, we need to know what the real destruction process was, how any aspect could be improved (whether it is building design/layout, engineering or security... ) and not let the distraction of the crashing planes play smoke and mirrors with us. Facts, for better understanding. Truth, for building a better future.

' As a former fighter pilot, I regard the failure to intercept the first airliner on 9/11 prior to impact, as one of the worst derelictions of duty in the history of this nation. We routinely scramble fighters 80 to 100 times every year to intercept 'unknowns,' some even turning out to be flocks of birds or radar ghosts. An alert interceptor from FLORIDA could possibly have arrived in time to intercept the first airliner. I'm sure it would have broken the pilot's heart to shoot down an airplane full of people: the inevitability of its flightpath makes the math simple: they were going to die, drop them somewhere that minimizes additional deaths on the ground. An airliner switching off its transponder squawk, turning 180 degrees off course and failing to respond to radio calls, sets off alarms across the entire Eastern seaboard. Don't try to feed me the crap the media was spooning out, that Boeing 767's 'disappeared' from radar. Civil air traffic control routinely informs pilots of flocks of birds, which show up well on low-tech air traffic control radar even though their squawks lack airspeed and altitude telemetry, and NORAD TRACKS SCREWS DROPPED BY ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE. Failing to intercept an aircraft in these circumstances is equivalent to gunners smoking and joking on the deck of your ship watching kamikazes crash into it. That's just the first impact. Recall that at that moment, there were two or three other aircraft 180 degrees off course with transponders and radios off: CONFIRMED HOSTILES FLYING TOWARDS OUR NATION'S CAPITAL. National defense policies adhered to for decades require enough interceptors sitting strip alert 24 / 7 / 365, within striking distance of the world's most heavily defended target in the most powerful nation on earth, to get most of a *squadron* on station in the time available. And instead, several news crews perform the intercept successfully WITH HELICOPTERS; so we can watch on TV while it happens TWO MORE TIMES. Next you have two buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprints, in defiance of the laws of physics, after taking hits they were specifically designed to withstand. And then a third, that wasn't hit by anything. After that, we watch while for some 200 days firefighters pump water into the steaming wreckage, to cool down exactly what? YOU CAN'T MELT STEEL WITH KEROSENE, right? Black smoke means low-temperature, oxygen-starved combustion, right? Water from fire sprinklers will not extinguish a petroleum fire, fuel spills absent retardant generally burn until all the fuel is gone, right? Why do you suppose the steel scrap recovered from the debris was shipped off to CHINA as quickly as it could be loaded onto trucks and ships, while even routine analyses was FORBIDDEN, if only in the interest of discovering why this steel failed so remarkably--a failure unprecedented in the history of engineering? As a military man you could not look me in the eye and try to tell me that an operation the size of our invasion of Iraq was possible without planning begun more than a YEAR prior to 9/11. I don't give a damn about any 'conspiracy theories,' theories are not relevant to the dereliction, omissions and obviously preplanned fabrications associated with 9/11.

My life time of using logic wherever it leads and critical thinking enabled me to quickly see 9/11 was a huge government sanctioned lie. It is almost a carbon copy of Pearl Harbor where the US government at the highest levels decided murdering US Citizens was a price that had to be paid to achieve their ends. If you look at the thousands of Strange Coincidences and plug the individual odds into a probability model the chance 9/11 occurred without tacit and active support at the highest levels of government is a decimal point followed by innumerable zeros preceding the one. For example on 9/11 the average loading of a airplane flying to the west coast from the east was about 75%. The four hijacked airplanes were loaded at an average of less than 30% With the flight shot down over Pennsylvania loaded at 20%. The odds on this single 9/11 factor is much less than 1 in 10,000. The official story of 9/11 is a deadly fairy tale. I do not understand how any person with an ounce of critical thinking skills could believe it.

In my opinion, what happened at the WTC on 11 Sep 2001 cannot be the result of 2 planes slamming into the towers and 3 towers collapsing. If that version of the events, as described by the 9/11 Commission is true, then as engineers, we must immediately put an end to our activities, and proceed to bring down all the buildings in the world, as they are wholly unsafe. Furthermore, that is also an indictment on the education we received in applied physics.

My BS was also in Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC Davis, June 2003. I worked as a civil engineering consultant in the private sector for nearly 10 years. My projects included building foundation design and construction oversight.
I have training in civil engineering and structural steel design; structural steel buildings do not collapse in a brittle catastrophic manner. Structural steel connections are designed to yield with plastic deformation, allowing for significant ductility/elasticity. After observing the WTC video collapses on video, I can state that it is impossible for such rapid loss of structural support to occur in the underlying floors. With fully movement-restrained connections, some mobilization of structural capacity should have occurred, resulting in a slower rate of decent, and an irregular collapse configuration.

If Building 7 fell due to something other than fire, then questions regarding the other buildings come into play. I demand a proper investigation into 9/11!

I've seen projects through from planning and SD to CD's and project management, meanwhile maintaining an IDP record. I plan to start licensing testing in the coming year.
The NIST report referenced throughout the official 9/11 commission report has too many inconsistencies with expert analysis and eyewitness / first-responder testimony of what happened on September 11th, 2001. There are too many repercussions from not putting forth the effort to speak truth to power and demand a new study be done on what happened on 9/11 and who was behind it. This is the next step we need to take to bring catharsis to the families affected by the attacks and justice to the people committed this crime 13 years ago.

First, the design of the towers is being glossed over. The core of each consisted of a large number of massive steel beams bundled together that would be unaffected by a supposed floor collapse. Where did the core of each tower go??

I work for a large hardware/software company in the Silicon Valley and currently work with media and graphics technologies.
I have always been concerned about the ways in which the Twin Towers and WTC 7 fell. WTC 7 didn't suffer nearly the damage as the other buildings, yet it collapsed. The video footage of how WTC 7 collapsed and fell into its own footprint, very cleanly (as seen from aerial photos) has always seemed suspicious to me. The fires alone should never have caused any of the buildings to be destroyed in the manner in which was reported. A comparison among the temperatures for burning jet fuel and the melting points for steel (buildings) and aluminum (jetliners) should make this clear. The official stories about a pile driver effect from the upper stories of Twin Towers fails to explain what even a student, taking undergraduate physics courses, knows: that the velocity of the collapsing material should not be free-fall with so much material beneath the pile driver to impede it, reducing its velocity at each stage/floor. The pile driver story doesn't add up, too, partly because the videos show the upper stories being blown apart. This would significantly diminish the mass of the pile driver. The evidence clearly points away from the official stories about how fires from the burning jet fuel caused the collapse of the Twin Towers. The evidence instead points to controlled demolitions of the Twin Towers and of WTC 7.

9/11 is the boldest ever attempt to manipulate a democracy and manufacture consent for subsequent policy (Propaganda). Following many other suspected 'false flags' the cynicism and scale of this plot is unprecedented, and the entire future of the world and especially the future of democracy revolves around either its success or its exposure. Though there are thousands of reasons for doubting the official story of 9/11, these reasons rely on circumstantial evidence/testimony, and while persuasive in their entirety (If a person has time to investigate them), they still lack the swift killer blow of persuasion needed to draw more attention to the issue quickly. I believe that the freefall/demolition argument of the towers, but especially WTC7 is the quickest and most persuasive evidence that can expose and explain the plot. The problem is attracting attention to the issue and explaining the impossibility of wtc free fall to a public without entry level physics knowledge. It is obvious that there are many people/organizations who produce media intent on dissemination and disuading people from questioning the official story, and the 'battleground' is the media, but you can't argue against 'freefall' if you understand it.

The physical aspects of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers has not been adequately explained by the official inquiries. The observed phenomena of flowing, molten iron in the basements, the complete destruction at near free fall speeds, the gaping holes in the official conclusions all beg for a thorough, independent, impartial analysis.

The evidence is overwhelming for a controlled demolition. The one basic fact is that no building has ever fallen straight down the way the towers fell without a controlled explosive demolition. In addition, the controlled angled cuts of the beams at the bottom cannot be explained by any other means than a controlled demolition. The facts are overwhelming that there is at least one motive for the destruction based on the buildings were an albatross and a financial disaster. The owner already had a denial for the destruction because of the asbestos problem an explosion would occur.

In my opinion, the World Trade Center's Twin Tower buildings in Manhattan, New York on September 11, 2001 were pre detonated based on my personal knowledge in chemistry, engineering, and materials. On September 11, 2001, I watched one of the towers collapse live on television. My opinion on this day was, and still remains, that both buildings were pre detonated due to the fact they collapsed symmetrically floor by floor exploding outwardly into dust.

From a chemist's point of view the reaction afterwards such as presence of rust on cars is an indication of explosives used in demolitions of the WTC buildings.
After closely reviewing your work and presentation, I am strongly convinced that Twin Towers and Building 7 were demolished using explosives which should immediately, not months later, lead to an independent investigation.

After reviewing the collapse of Building 7 numerous times, I can only come to the conclusion that it was destroyed via controlled demolition. It is very disturbing that Building 7 was not mentioned in the 9-11 Commission Report and that NIST concluded that its collapse was due to fire. Recalling the iron ring ceremony, and the responsibility towards public safety that the engineering community bears, I strongly support the efforts of Architect and Engineers for 9-11 Truth.

I am studying chemistry in Berlin (Germany) beginning of the last semester. My education bases on a wide physical, mathematical and obviously chemical knowledge base. It gave me the ability to question investigated data with the weapon of a logically thinking mind.
Regarding my education and experience in scientific circumstances the probability of the collapse of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 caused by kerosene/ fire is physically and chemically impossible. It becomes obvious that it was a false flag operation comparable to the Reichstag Fire in 1933 in Germany 5 years before WW2.

I've been looking at evidence on this issue for about 4 years. I was initially convinced of the official story by hearing an interview with one of the original WTC engineers shortly after 9/11, in which he said that when he saw the buildings burning he immediately felt they would come down. It wasn't until after I began stumbling on video excerpts from that day that that picture began to fall apart, and I haven't stopped looking since.

Anyone that has watched a building demolition in person as I have knows it again when they see it. Anyone that has seen a building burn down knows that it doesn't fall symmetrically at near free fall speed with no resistance by the floors beneath. There are too many inconsistencies in basic scientific facts put forth in the official account by the 9/11 commission and also the fact that NIST didn't test any samples from the rubble in their recent report

I have an Excellent Physics intuition, very competitive Analysis, and I got an excellency letter from the Department of Physics on Engineering Mechanical Dynamics. I'm currently majoring in Chemical Engineering CPC (Computer Process Control). More than 2000 Americans were Murdered on Sept 11. If they could murder their own citizen, so would they murder other non American for their own good. A government is nothing without their citizens. So why are they acting like they can control people's lives, people's future, and people's destiny. The next victims would be our family, our children, our good friends, our loved ones, or even ourselves if we let them win. They (the people behind 9/11) have all the money, and the longer we stay calm, the richer they will get, and the harder this movement will be. So, We should act now. American government is a bad influence to children. They teach our children to lie, to manipulate, to cover up lies.
As I got an excellency letter on Engineering Mechanical Dynamics, I can say: I'm 100% sure that the building collapsed at nearly free fall speed. The special steel has a high compression stress yield. that's why the bottom part of the building could hold such a tall building without even bending a bit. And the Ultimate Compression of the steel should be much more than the weight of the whole building. then why does the top part of the building could not even hold such a short fall of some floors. The top Floor should have been able to stop the falling roof, but instead, they fell down with a free fall speed. NIST Engineers degree should be banned from practice..I wonder what catastrophic would happen if they keep their license. Another collapse would happen, people would die, and they don't care about it because they would cover it up.

I am a graduate student in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have been studying and researching nucleic acids for 4 years and I have sincere doubts that Army Scientists were able to recover DNA samples and positively identify these DNA samples as belonging to victims from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crashes where there was sufficient heat to destroy the entire plane. This magnitude of heat would have incinerated the DNA as well. The building fell very suspiciously. I have been thinking this for the past 7 years and the only major scientist I knew who spoke about this was Stephen Jones of BYU who ended up being fired for his opinions on the collapse. I sincerely doubt that hydrocarbon-fueled fire was able to bring the 47-story building down in that fashion. I am highly suspicious of the WTC building 7 investigation and I demand that the investigators be interviewed. Why did this investigation take 7 years?!

The collapses are part of the tip of the 9/11 iceberg. I have doubts if the people in USA is capable of facing the truth about 9/11.

Nothing to say here. I have researched this topic for years. Am convinced it was an inside job.
All the evidence points to controlled demolition. Let's do another investigation looking precisely at this evidence.

I' m horrified to think thousands of americans has been killed on the 9/11 and I don't understand how I wasn't allowed to open my eyes during all these years. In my opinion,the most important evidences of the controlled collapse are: - the speed of the collapse - the building collapsed straight away - the potential energy which is necessary to project so far away the heavy columns didn't exist in the twin towers , so where did it come from?? Thanks for your work, I don't want my children to grow in a world full of lies .

I find the probability of three buildings collapsing cleanly, by chance, as a result of the plane collisions to be staggeringly low if not completely impossible. It would be much more sensible for the government to investigate who planted the explosives and where rather than to dispute that explosives were involved. Three unprecedented collapses occurring on the same day would represent a statistical coincidence on the magnitude of the formation of the first life form.

All the evidence is very interesting, I have watched the collapse on CNN and I also think the fire of jet fuel was not able to damage whole building. I agree with demolition explanation.

The facts about the collapses do not jibe with the official reports. Where there is smoke, there is fire, especially if there is a lot of smoke.

Studied chemistry and specialised for almost 50 years in controlling colour in industrial applications in UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and the USA, the last 36 years being spent in designing software for computer colour match prediction mainly as Managing Director of private companies in which I was/am the majority shareholder. I am now semi-retired and over the past 7 years have promoted 9/11 truth on various internet news groups.
I believed from day one that the official explanation was incomplete and did not match the visual evidence of what actually happened, as recorded on the internet. No explanation other than controlled demolition fully fits the observable facts, particularly the free fall of building WTC7 and the photographic evidence of diagonal cuts in the steel girders, characteristic of thermate cutting charges. Another particularly important event in 9/11 Truth was the belated discovery of the announcement by the BBC of the collapse of the Salamon (WTC7) Building almost 30 minutes before it actually happened.

Looked like controlled demolition. Did I hear traces of thermite was found at the site? The lack of a thorough investigation into this tragedy leads to suspicion that truth of what occurred was not discovered by the investigating team.

I am in pursuit of my Chemical Engineering Degree at Northeastern University. I am currently on an internship with a process engineering company 'New England Controls'. I currently am working on the design of the program for a new facility for Genzyme Pharmaceuticals. I have completed past internships with Dr's at UCLA @ Riverside and have been published in an original study for my work. I am a member of American Institute for Chemical Engineers and International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineers.
I have been greatly impressed with the amount of evidence supporting the request for an investigation of the 9/11 'collapse'. The rate at which the towers fell (almost free fall speed) gives rise to the question of internal explosives, which, when evaluated, sheds light on the existence of Thermite in the explosion. Upon further research, I believe the usage chemical compound, thermite (specifically thermate), is an essential part of this investigation. The BYU Physicist, Jones who coined this idea stated that 'Large amounts of 1,3 diphenylpropane strongly suggests the high-tech thermite arson used on the WTC buildings...' Yes, this could have been caused from the burning of drywall and plastic and other aggregates, but at such high levels? And on the indicative demolishing diagonal cuts on the Iron beams blown out to support the building? It all just fits too well in my opinion.

I received an A.A. in Chemistry at Polk Community College- with an emphasis in engineering. I later attended the University of South Florida and reached junior status in the Chemical Engineering department. I later studied Nuclear Medicine at Hillsborough Community College and completed one clinical site. Once again, I changed my major and plan to re-enroll at the University of South Florida in either Mathematics Education or Finance. Certainly I am undecided on what profession to enter; however, I have a solid interest in learning.
I doubted the original investigation/explanation from the 9/11 commission. However, after watching NOVA's Impact to Collapse I thought the matter was resolved. Well, they failed to sufficiently explain the cause of the collapse of building 7. Considering that buildings 1 and 2 fell on the same day, I find myself doubting their model. Conspiracy theories really hurt the truth finding process and I'm glad to have found a site that tries to filter those detrimental opinions.

I was pre-med at Emory and finished with a Chem major, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1983. My degree included a year of physics as well as probability and statistics as well as calculus and P-Chem (physical chemistry). I worked as a research lab tech at Ciba Vision for two years, then later earned my MBA at GA State (1992). As a financial analyst and planner for the City of Atlanta during preparation for the '96 Summer Olympics, I witnessed the demolition of downtown buildings and was involved with the construction financing of several new venues, including a new convention center and arena. I also served as Treasurer on the HOA Board of a 72-unit high-rise in Atlanta called the Bradford Condominiums on Peachtree St. This building was foreclosed on during construction and required extensive renovation and roofing. During my term as treasurer we undertook major commercial renovations to bring the building up to code. As a result, I doubled the value of my own investment there in five years and helped other owners achieve the same returns. Since then, I've also owned and renovated several multi-family buildings and high-rise condos in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Florida.
The rapid, perfect, vertical collapses of three buildings, resulting from two asymmetrical horizontal impacts simply defies too many laws of physics, probability, and common sense, all at the same time. The fact that most Americans STILL haven't heard anything in the mass media about Building 7's collapse, or even its existence, for that matter, is extremely suspicious to me and suggests a massive coverup. The more I research the history of our country's foreign wars and the incidents that started them (i.e., Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, etc. ) the more doubts, lies and contradictions I seem to find. It suggests a long-running pattern of classic war crimes and scams on the American public for the benefit of a tiny elite, beginning with the early industrialists and their offspring.
