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'm a graduate of Rowan University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in Spring 2009 and I am not employed yet. I love winnowing out the truth of everything that happens and working hard to do it. I exercise when I get a chance to stay in shape and keep the stress off and I am a Christian who loves this country and the freedoms that we are entitled to.
I think the idea that it is too harsh to bring up 9/11 is a huge crock. My family and friends cannot wrap their minds around how this could have been staged but as you said, all of the signs are there. Thank you for your very professional and detailed presentation. I hope that more people will watch this and finally come to the truth, and I really hope that I am not old and gray before we can get a true statement from our government. Keep up the great work.

I specialize in Digital Electronic Design, which has nothing to do with Structural Engineering, however, Physics is Physics and it doesn't take a genius to see the truth in the proof.
AE911Truth.org has done a tremendous job and service to true Americans and the American way to objectively and clearly state the dramatic contradictory evidence to the official 911 government storybook fable. The fact that the information is coming from degreed and licensed professionals in the Architecural and Structural Engineering community provides a level of credibility that will hopefully propel the issue into the public spotlight. I was skeptical until I recently read about the nano-thermite particles independently found in the WTC dust remnants. Coupled with the facts: that NIST did not test for thermite or explosives; NIST avoids the thermite discussion; and the pancaking collapse of the 3 buildings that looks exactly like a controlled Las Vegas style hotel demolition; denial seems impossible. NIST officials should be indicted.

My relationship the clients, engineers, contractors, subs, governmental agencies, and their trust have led them to praise me and say 'they only wish they had met me sooner.' Being highly visual, nothing slips by me ... nothing.

Occupation: Electrical
I am a 13 year master electrician in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I have done work in our 42 story office building and other steel beam buildings, as well as in concrete buildings with fire proofing on the structural steel and concrete and on the deck (under the floor).
With all of the fire protection that is done to the structural components and floors and the fire patching I have to do for pipes or cables through walls or floors in buildings in the Milwaukee area, I would think a hi-rise in New York City would have even more stringent codes. Even an older building should have been brought up to code for public safety. With all this, and from what I've read on how the WTC buildings were constructed, I don't think they should have fallen as they did. Maybe the floors above the plane impact floors would have fallen, and some below, but not every single floor, even all the undamaged lower floors? Also, that they fell in such a short time after the plane impacts for Bldgs. 1 & 2, then Bldg. 7 falling hours later for no reason. I'm just an electrician but that doesn't seem right.

The WTC destruction is clearly a controlled demolition. The evidence is overwhelming and beyond doubt. The alleged conspirators had neither means or opportunity to conduct the crime. As 9/11 was never investigated as a criminal event the actual criminals have never been identified, but one can easily identify the potential suspects. This crime needs real investigation by proper trained, objective, independent police.

Building collapse appears as coordianated demolition. Failure simultaneously of main support columns due to a non localized heat souce is folly. The claim it allegedly occurred twice is an outright charade.

Factory Automation Engineer since 1985. Mostly in Aluminum Plants working with aluminum melt and holding furnaces as well as automating many continuous and batch process that require a thorough understanding of forces and inertia. - - - - For 3 years I worked at an A&E firm doing building power in steel frame buildings up to 7 stores tall and have observed the fire proofing put on the support columns. I have been tangentially involved with fire rating of control and transformer rooms.
The building collapses have never made sense to me because of the following reasons. - - 1: The free-fall time. Objects colliding do not operate like that. - - 2: The melted steel. Without preheated air, I see no way to obtain those temperatures. and oxygen starved fires, as shown by the red and flames and smoke, make it impossible to obtain those temperatures. - - 3: The instantaneous collapse. Although I am not a structural engineer, that makes no sense to me. Heat processes take time. - - 4: Even the NIST says the jet fuel burned quickly and the fires were office fires.

Electrons also follow the path of least resistance. For a building to collapse into itself the structure must be compromised ahead of and in proper symmetry for the effect we see in these buildings.

Engineers can far more easily sift through the available data discarding all the false info (and planted interviews), making it much easier to understand the remaining data (and any minor variations that may appear). Having watched Waco in real time and thus seen some very revealing things, I was most impressed with the first and subsequent Waco reruns, that had each of the most revealing parts deleted by all the media.

This is very obviously an inside job with the heavy use of explosives, as any engineer can tell, when he is able to confront such an evil project. Since Nero burned Rome. After my investigation of all the facts about the 3 buildings, there are no doubts: They were pulled down by high-tech professionals of the trade, this needed months of preparation, cooperation of the security services in the building and lots of manpower and money.

My technical experience has been in IT as well as civil design. After graduating from Vanderbilt in 1999, I found myself working NYC a few blocks from the WTC. After the tragedy, I moved to FL and started doing civil design work.
There are 2 things that bother me about 9/11. The first is the fact that I bore witness to in the path train station under the two towers. I took the path train in that morning and arrived around the time the first plane hit the north tower. There was smoke in the station. How did it get there? The station was at least 4 to 5 levels below ground level. The second is building 7. It is physically impossible for a building to fall at free fall speed without some sort of assistance. This means that something must have been in the building to remove the objects from below the falling debris. This needs further investigation and the 9/11 commission failed to address this issue in their report.

I am a professional environmental engineer working in the consulting industry since 2012. I became interested in 9/11 collapse theories after finding out about the mysterious collapse of WTC Building 7 and taking college courses in thermodynamics and structural analysis. My professional career has continued to reinforce my position that the official collapse explanations are significantly lacking. As engineers we have a ceremony to wear a ring on our little finger that is based on the memorial of a 1900's Canadian bridge collapse that killed 75 people so we do not forget our duty to public safety before our own interests. As engineers, is it not the duty of our profession to ensure that the collapse of the three WTC buildings is fully understood so that this tragic event that killed nearly 3,000 U.S.citizens and still counting from the chronic health issues, is not repeated?
The official collapse explanation of the three WTC towers on 9/11/01 is a continued shame of face as the event grows more distant in history. While the governmental position to avoid questions and significant evidence of explosive collapse is deeply distressing, the general public's response to turn their back with no outrage to such evidence is truly tragic in light of the founding of the United States. As a professional engineer, I support AE911 Truth in their mission to request a new investigation into the events of 9/11/01 as it is of grave importance for public health and safety, especially for the families struggling with loss and chronic illness resultant from 9/11/01.

Explosive residue was found in the debris. Also, the fact that molten iron was found at the site which would imply an explosion because jet fuel doesn't ignite at that temperature. The fact that the police told people 'to get back they were bringing down building 7' and the fact that the British radio aired building 7 had fallen before it actually had.

On 9/11, I was in Barcelona, Spain and watched, on CNN, as an airplane hit tower #2. I also saw flashes of light on a floor below the impact. My immediate conclusion was that there must have been preplaced explosives that caused the flashes. I have always wondered about that.

It is simple, myself and other family members want to know what really happened on 9/11, not the fable prepared by the NIST staff members. The way the collapse of the twin towers is explained is out of any engineering logic and highly skewed towards proving the unprovable.

The evidence is overwhelming that the government's investigation omitted a huge amount of forensic data. Many items were not addressed in the official government report. How did a hit on one corner of a tower cause a symmetric collapse? How did a fire on one end of building 7 cause a symmetric collapse? What about building 7 free fall, all of the witness testimonies that have been blocked out by the media, molton steel, thermite, the whole US defense apparatus failure. Why? We invaded the middle East countries largely because of 9/11. There has been a lot of dying and maiming over this. The truth must be exposed. So far both political parties and the mainstream media are complicit in allowing the cover up of the 9/11 attack. The dead and their loved ones deserve a real investigation.

Classical electronic control demolition on all three buildings. At this point all the engineering information about sequenced steel beam cutting must be available. 3000 people plus murdered on US soil and no one is accountable. Unbelievable. There evidently are so many people involved in this, that there have to be people willing to come forward.This is a black eye for the people in America for not holding a proper inquest.

"The morning of September 11, 2001, I watched the second tower fall live on television as I prepared to leave my home and get to my junior level engineering classes. My father and I watched building after building fall that morning and each time, we echoed each others' reactions. We both said incredulously ""that looks planned, like those skyscraper demolitions."" Then my father asked me if, from an engineering perspective, if it looked normal. I explained that I was hardly an expert at structural engineering but from what I had already learned, it seemed unlikely that those building would fall completely down. I could have believed that the parts of each building above the impact point would shear off of the structure, but for the entire building to implode was, even on that hectic morning, far too much to swallow."

Steel frame buildings do not collapse into their own footprints, into the path of most resistance, without the use of explosives or incendiaries (or unknown technologies that I am unaware of). If this was the case, why would one pay a controlled demolition company to wire an entire building, to demolish it, when one could just pack a floor with some jet fuel and slam a wrecking ball into it? Or, in the case of Building 7, just use the wrecking ball. There are just too many unanswered questions that the powers that be will not even acknowledge, let alone answer.

Neither steel nor concrete can be burnt by open kerosene fires at all, especially not in a way that it just dissolves to dust. Given high enough temperatures - the steel columns would have bent down in the area of the fire, leaving the lower sections intact.

It appears that the only way a building of this type could fall in the manner it did is because of actions which cannot be explained by the official investigation. A new investigation is required.

15 years practice of forensic engineering and weighing the facts in the light of forensic engineering science.
The result of the official USA government reports on the 9/11/01 tower(1 & 2) collapse including the WTC bldg 7 were not only an attack to the truth of the actual event but an attack to the very core of factual science and factual engineering practice. We have to throw almost all books of engineering science to the rubbish bin if we are to accept such report. It will be better to watch the science of the Hollywood films like StarWars. It is in my opinion an implosion to replace the old buildings.

We need more clarification on the fire temperatures and make comparisons to buildings that burned for hours and never collapsed.
