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.

So many things I have heard and seen about the destruction of the twin tower buildings, I did not understand. I thought my material science and building construction lectures set me up pretty well with all the principals if not all the mathematics. So how come the buildings just dropped like a stone? Why didn't they fall sideways? The planes did not hit dead centre! and they hit more columns on one side! Why does the mast on top of the building start collapsing before the top deck? Why does the top of the building just start breaking up straight away? Why does it not move as one piece above where the planes hit? Why was there so much dust, billowing clouds,surely not including asbestos? Then they fall down in less than 3 hours? (approx 80minutes and 120minutes) Whats wrong with the Fireproofing? What sort of fuel burns hotter than diesel or petrol also stored in these buildings? What destroys the fireproofing and melts steel, not just makes it sag. Why Molten Metal in the basements weeks after the collapse? Whelen the Wrecker men with boots too hot to wear? Despite continually flooding the basement the fires continue to burn without oxygen. Then a third 47 Storey WTC building fell, again dropping like a stone, despite only being hit by the main tower only on one side. In the Towering Inferno movie the building stays up, time for people to get out despite chaos. We as architects and engineers need to know how to stop the next terrorist plane knocking down one of our buildings.

The following questions need to be addressed and answered, without the use of explosives, for the official story about 9/11 (as described in the 9/11 Commission Report, the FEMA report, and the NIST report) to be true. 1. The first question deals with the total collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. This 47-story skyscraper was not hit by an aircraft and would have been the tallest building in 33 of our states. Yet, it collapsed into a tidy rubble pile in 6.5 seconds in the exact manner of a controlled demolition at 5:20 PM on September 11, 2001. Please describe or explain a non-explosive scenario for the total collapse of this building that is in agreement with all the evidence known to date. 2. The second question deals with the Twin Towers (World Trade Center Buildings 1 and 2) and the 90,000 tons of metal decking, concrete floors, drywall, office furniture, and missing bodies that were pulverized in mid-air during the total collapse of these buildings. Please describe or explain a non-explosive scenario for the complete pulverization of all of these materials into dust in 10-13 seconds. 3. The third question deals with the free-fall speed of the collapse of all three buildings. Please describe a non-explosive scenario that explains the symmetrical collapse of each of these buildings straight down'through the path of greatest resistance'at an acceleration that is indistinguishable from free-fall acceleration in a vacuum. 4. The fourth question deals with the molten metal that was observed below Ground Zero by many people after the buildings collapsed. Please describe a non-explosive scenario that explains how Ground Zero remained an inferno and how molten metal remained fluid for a least six weeks after the collapse. 5. The fifth question deals with the steel framework in most modern skyscrapers including the Twin Towers and Building 7. This metal framework conducts heat rapidly, distributing it throughout the entire structure, which explains why no steel-framed skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire prior to 9/11. Please therefore describe or explain how the massive framework of structural steel in the World Trade Center (which had a melting point of 2750 degrees Fahrenheit) could have been fatally weakened by localized jet-fuel fires (which reach a maximum temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit) without the aid of explosives.

Graduated from Berkeley in 1962 - the beginning of the radical years. HUAC hearings in San Francisco, blatant government lies about Vietnam, CIA involvement in Central and South America, all these things make me very suspicious. The truth needs to be exposed. I'm perfectly happy to accept that no conspiracy happened on 9/11 if it can be demonstrated, but we must know the facts.
This has always seemed strange to me, along with the Pentagon attack where no photographs actually show penetration by an airplane. Whether there was a conspiracy or not, when the government hides facts and information there must be more investigation.

Bill Genitsaris, Consulting Struc
BA Engineering, Uni. of Melbourne
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Consulting Engineer with over 20 years experience in Civil and Structural Engineering. Worked in the fields of structural engineering design, construction, demolition, investigation of building movements and disputes. Worked for many years as a senior consulting structural engineer in the residential and commercial fields. In those years, provided professional services from engineering design advise for new and existing buildings, construction and demolition advice/procedural recommendations, to remedial works recommendations for buildings which are cracking/moving. Currently specialize in investigating movements and structural issues/disputes related to buildings, providing advice on remedial works, for both new and existing/old buildings/structures. Often oversee the remedial works (from engineering, architectural and construction/project management perspectives). Have viewed well over 2 000 houses/dwellings/buildings, subject to movements/cracking issues, in addition to the countless building designs, consultations and construction management. With experience in the design, construction and demolition of buildings, (residential to high-rise buildings) I have developed a great knowledge base to aid in determining the cause of structural problems, provide an appropriate/practical solution, estimate the costs of the required works and oversee/manage the project.
this space is too limited to list all of the structural issues and laws of physics/nature that have been violated by the official story, let alone go into the non-physics related issues (ie motivations, who was involved, etc). however i will state as follows: i often ask people 'how many buildings came down on 911 in New York?'. when the answer is (almost always) 2, i then ask them 'why the did not know about the 47 story building, which was not hit by a plane, yet it collapsed approx. 7 hours after the twin towers'. Even with this fact, they still cannot accept that the media has withheld the truth from them and it seems that they wish to remain (willfully) ignorant. As many others have stated, this is the definitive smoking gun. It is impossible for an unoccupied building, which only has 2 very small fires, to collapse. 2 points which i have not seen raised to date: If the pancake theory is correct, then as each floor truss disconnects from the steel RHS columns (both the ~47 core columns and the ~200 perimeter columns), it would mean that the columns should have remained in one complete length (ie over 100m/300 feet long) and as the building was demolished, oops I mean collapsed due to planes hitting them, the columns should have at least remained erect (especially the core) for that height. Or they should have fallen onto the adjoining buildings, at 100m long, causing major damage (in a plan view leaving a shell type of appearance, or like holding a bunch of straws vertically and letting them fall). Second, in the docs I have seen to date, I have not heard anybody talk about the actual floor loads on the building floors, just prior to collapse/demo. As an engineer, I know that every building on earth is basically designed to support floor loads (usually live, furniture/equipment & dead). A 'factor of safety' is included in the design, thus making the completed structure easily able to remain erect, even if each and every floor was loaded to its capacity (ie the building was jam packed with people in every room on every level and each floor was loaded with the maximum amount of furniture weight). Yet the twin towers were nowhere near their floor load capacity, just prior to collapse, (many people didn't go to work that day and many people managed to exit the building prior to collapse, (I don't know the official number of people that each floor could support)), and no people were present in WTC7!!! So, the issue is; How is it possible for empty (or almost empty) buildings, which are not subject to the live load component and hence not experiencing stresses anywhere near their elastic limits or ultimate limits, collapse at free fall speeds, as a result of fire?

I am a freelance Graphic Artist working in print and web media, with a passion for drawing & painting, printmaking, photography, and more recently, reclaimed artwork using recycled print materials that would normally find their way into a landfill. I find this medium is a great way to encourage recycling, while minimizing my own effects on the environment.
On September 11th I was working at a technical call center supporting a legal research provider. Some of our employees were on the phones with clients who witnessed a plane hit the world trade center before terminating their calls. Every one around me had news reports on their monitors, some of them describing explosions at the WTC. Suddenly, access to major news media websites was disrupted. Page Cannot Be Displayed was the only message on news outlets for several minutes. When the websites returned, all the reports of explosions were gone. I got off work just in time that day to witness WTC7 collapse on the news. Since then, I have researched anything and everything I could find about reports of explosions that day. The videos of the towers collapsing definitively show sequential explosions and flashes up the corners of the towers in multiple videos, from various angles. These flashes cannot be reflections when seen from several angles on the island. These sequential bursts are accompanied by sequential explosions, as recorded on video and reported by first responders. The official report doesn't address it, and I feel deliberately oppressed this information. Now almost a decade later, there are still no answers about the explosions, the molten metal in each footprint, or the mis-handling of the investigation. With this considered along with the revelation of nano-thermite materials found in the WTC dust, I feel only an independent peer-reviewed investigation will ever put any of this to rest.

As a taxpaying U.S. citizen for the past 40 years, in New Jersey and Maine I have a right to request an investigation of the events leading up to/encompassing 9/11/2001, and after the demolishing of the World Trade Centers buildings. It is obvious that the facts of that time period have been manipulated, ignored and suppressed by a terrorist faction involved in the power structure of my government. It is my faith and belief that the terrorist factions involved should and will be brought to justice, but only by honest and forthright investigation. Your oath of office binds you as an American to do just that.

I'm grateful to AE911 truth for upholding the principles of evidence based science that are consistent with those I encountered during my early undergraduate studies and training. Their questions are my questions and I believe that the institutional ethic is undermined by its implicit endorsement of the destruction of valuable data sets, its dismissal of independent inquiry and its bad faith deployment of institutionalised science to subvert the scientific method. The negligence of a single professional, be they medical, scientific or otherwise can result in a custodial sentence. The negligence of a generation of professionals may result in the loss of faith in evidence-based engineering as a tool for good. As such I feel that AE911Truth better represent me in what I was trained to be 'science' than the institutions do at present. I trust this situation will resolve itself eventually to the benefit of all as it always does, hence my membership.

The surviving evidence on WTC collapse, namely: * Photographs of WTC on September 11, and Ground Zero afterward * Videos of the attack * Seismic records from the Palisades station * Evidence of persistent underground fires at Ground Zero * Limited metallurgical examination of the structural steel * Analysis of samples of dust that settled around Ground Zero * Firefighter reports documented by audiotape * The apparent admission by Building 7's landlord that the FDNY demolished Building 7. All point incontrovertibly to a planned, controlled demolition of all these structures.

I've been with my current employer for 4 years.
I have long held doubts in private about the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers since I first witnessed it on TV in '01. I was given Mr. Gage's video by a friend and was relieved that I'm not the only professional who feels this way. In my profession, everything you do is calculated to the Nth degree. Everything is precise. Everything is over-engineered for future expansion and controlled for safety. I have built many installations that have met UL, C-UL, CSA, CE, and NFPA standards. Many things I have built have been inspected by federal, state, and local governments. I am very doubtful that the collapse of building 7 was accidental. I have held the belief from day one that the World Trade Center buildings did not implode because of the impact of an airplane. I had watched movies of the remarkable construction of the buildings prior to the attack of 911. To say that the collapse of the towers was due to internal structural failure is a slap in the face of every individual who designed, built, inspected, and approved these structures. That includes federal, state, and local approving bodies. This also includes all standard policy bodies such as UL and NFPA. If I worked for one of these agencies, I would be worried about a law suit.

Only recently have I begun to examine the structural collapse of the buildings. Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition.

WTC 1, 2, and 7 show that the official story is false because of the symmetrical collapse, the free-fall speed of the collapse, the pulverization of the concrete to dust, the cutting of the columns to convenient lengths, and the persistent molten pools of steel. The Pentagon event shows that the official story is false because of the improbable flight path flown by the 757. The Shanksville event shows that the official story is false because of the characteristics of the aircraft debris field.

My first doubts about the official story began when I read the heavily documented The War on Freedom by Nafeez Massadaq Ahmed, listing all the public records of warnings to the US government. I was especially alarmed by the fact that standard operating procedure to dispatch fighter planes against a high-jacked plane had been violated. The technical evidence presented since then certainly warrants a full and honest investigation. I know several people in NYC were trying to initiate a suit to open such an investigation in the spring of '07, but have heard no more about their effort.

I've done extensive research online, and of videos, and have concluded that at the very least, building #7 was 100% a controlled demolition. Although there are literally hundreds of discrepancies, and unexplained things surrounding 9/11, I consider the collapse of building #7, and the fact that Controlled Demolition (the Company) was hired for site clean-up to be an unexplainable coincidence. The fact that we spent much less than the investigation of Flight 800 is also questionable. The destruction of the crime scene evidence is inexcusable. I did not witness any raging infernos that the media claims existed on 9/11.

One does not need to be an engineer to understand that contradictions cannot exist. If the pancake theory is true then we should sure have seen some pancakes, not pulverized concrete and neatly severed sections of steel. Further, buildings such as WTC 7 do not spontaneously collapse from being hit by debris or from fire. The fact that public officials intentionally destroyed most of the evidence is, itself, as in any crime, a suggestion of guilt or complicity in the crime.

I am trained as an Electrical Engineer. I've worked for NASA and other companies designing control systems for mechanical motion control systems. This background in math and physics of motion have allowed me to do some technical inquiries into the dynamics of collapse of the WTC. I have also spent several years working in hte field of avionics and air traffic control. These experiences give me some insight into issues brought up by Pilots for 911 Truth. I am currently working in the area of computer security working on a team designing internet firewalls and endpoint protection of networks.
We must perform publicly and with peer review an extensive analysis of the WTC collapse. The official explanation stops at the onset of collapse. To even explain the start of the collapse without explosives requires some far fetched ideas. There are lots of energy analyses to do that I have not seen done. How can multi-ton steel beams be ejected with enough force to embed themselves in buildings far away? What explains the symetry of the collapse? Uncontrolled phenomenon are seldom symetrical.

I am a citizen who believes it is every citizen's duty to watch over government. The true story of the defining event of our era ''' 9/11 ''' should be known.
The notion that the towers' disintegration was caused by the impact of airplanes is not consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If the energy of collapse went into keeping the collapse going, then there had to be another source of energy ''' the energy that destroyed the buildings' structures and pulverized the concrete floors and all the buildings' contents.

Received MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from Technical University of Istanbul. Received PhD degree from Brown University in metallurgy. After a short stint in academia, I worked for the Turkish Technical and Scientific Research Institute. I did research on explosively forming welded truncated-cone steel preforms into hemispheres. Materials subjected to very high strain rates behave similarly to highly plastic materials and can change form (deform) without developing external stress cracks. There is a photo that was taken of some 9/11-damaged steel structures where a very big cross section heavy beam has been bent into almost a 180 degree U-shape without developing any cracks on the tension side of the bend. This could not happen under the weight of the building forcing the lower sections to break up into pieces. It proves that a chemical or physical high energy source was in operation at the time the buildings were destroyed (not collapsed.) No amount of static force big enough to bend the heavy beam into a 'U' can produce this effect without creating multitudinous cracks on the tension side. This can only be done by a 'high energy rate forming' mechanism and by either a chemical or physical energy source with a large enough capacity. - - More recently, I was involved in design and production of castings and forgings in industry, and production plant management until retirement.
I am convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that:1- NORAD could not have been rendered helpless by anyone or any organization but persons in or close to the U.S. government. 2- The two towers could not have come down in near-free fall speed if explosives were not scientifically planted and distributed throughout the structures and sequentially exploded through computer control. Explosions occurred ahead of the advancing debris so that the near-free fall speed can be achieved.3- The 9/11 wars and war on terror were pre-planned and executed according to these plans. The WTC skyscrapers were obviously destroyed by a high energy producing material such as nanothermite, which was somehow placed in the buildings. There is no mechanism known to humans, other than explosives, that can destroy buildings of that size at free fall speeds while converting all the concrete and other office materials into a thick cloud of dust. It is futile to argue whether x number of columns were cut by the planes or Y amount. Even if the upper portions of both buildings were totally severed from the bottom portions and the top was allowed to fall onto the bottom, and even if all the bolts/pins holding the metal skeleton of the bottom portion together were in an un-tightened condition, the destruction of the bottom portion of the buildings by the effect of the top portion could never have been accomplished within the time necessary for a free fall. The fact that the buildings were destroyed at free fall speeds is the greatest evidence that the buildings were purposely destroyed by well placed explosives. No passenger plane hit the pentagon.

I'm very interested to hear from professional hi-rise engineers that believe the 3 buildings could have collapsed without the use of explosives. It seems very clear from the direct and indirect documentation, that the explosives were the cause of the near free fall demolition.

My biggest concern is that neither FEMA, NIST reports explain WTC 1, 2, 7 velocity of the collapses as well as the destruction of the evidence

The evidence proves that 9/11 was not performed by merely 19 hijackers. The evidence proves that there is no way that ANYONE could have used cell phones to call people from those planes. The calls just would not have been successful. The plane is acting like a faraday shield and would prevent the signals from reaching the towers, especially with the plane over 4,000 ft and traveling over 200 MPH. The evidence also shows that there was thermite/thermate used in the destruction of the WTC's. The complete and utter destruction is not possible by a natural collapse, and it is not possible to destroy the lower columns completely as they become thicker and stronger the lower you go in the building. It's like a tree, it's bigger at the bottom to provide better support.

The official conspiracy theory, relative to the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7, makes sense if, and only if, none of the universal laws of physics were applicable on Sept. 11, 2001. As for the Pentagon, the expert opinion of Gen. Stubblebine should convince anyone of the falsehood of the official version.

The collapses of WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7 violate the laws of physics. The events of September 11, 2001 needs a real, independent investigation.

I earned my BSCE degree from the University of Massachusetts with a major in structures and later an MS degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. After graduation from UMass, I was employed in the field by two of the nation''s largest building construction companies, first the Austin Company (a design/build firm) and later the George A. Fuller Construction Company. The construction of one of the Austin Company building projects was the basis of my master's thesis. I also taught building design and construction related courses to civil engineering and architectural students at Vermont Technical College for twenty years.
In 2006 I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed. Professor Steven Jones' video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call. My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones. I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory. I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington: Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated. They are patently false. Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false.... The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning. However, this nationally respected 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7. Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01. Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day.

After getting M.S. in M.E. I did post graduate work in engineering economic systems and computer science. Later worked at Xerox Parc, Electronic Arts, and Autodesk designing and programming computer graphics programs such as Deluxe Paint and 3DStudio Max.
After viewing the videos of the collapse of Building 7, knowing that no airplane hit that building, I feel that there is a very high likelihood that a controlled demolition was the cause, and it should be investigated.

The collapse is in complete opposition to Newton's Laws of Motion. Free fall speed with all of the structural opposition is not viable. - - - - The collapse story is just one of many, many inconsistencies in this fable.

After I finished the study of Landscape and Environmental Planning at Technische Universit't Berlin I worked as a documentarist and editorial journalist for the German television, focused on natural science topics. Now I'm working as a Landscape Architect - but most of my time I spend with writing about political topics on one of the widely read German blogs.
The collapse of the three WTC Buildings was caused by a controlled demolition. There is no other way to bring down buildings into their own footprints in free-fall time. My witnesses are Galileo Galilei and Isaak Newton. I joined the German truther movement as a writer, blogger and journalist one year ago. In the official story I never believed, just as I never kept faith with speculative explanations.

Despite early claims about fire induced collapse of WTC 1 & 2, evidence suggests that the collapse of the three WTC buildings was due to controlled demolition. WTC 7 was particularly suspect in this regard, as it had never been struck by an aircraft. Pyroclastic-like clouds, symmetrical collapse, and molten steel are all indications of a controlled demolition, and all are seen at each WTC site.

It's strange that there are so many fundamental observations that can be made that prove, beyond a doubt, that the events of that day differ from the generally accepted causes. - - Seems it is more like a religious debate, or a political debate, and many people will take a side and not budge the slightest, even when presented simple observations or facts. For example, - 1. Rate of collapse of the buildings - 2. The projectiles that are projected perpendicular to the force of gravity - 3. The destruction of an entire building, below the impact point by a significantly SMALLER 'hammer' ie, the top part of the building - 4. The repeated observations by credible witnesses, ie the fireman, that observed many, many explosions - 5. In the videos of the destruction, anyone can see the significant emissions of material horizontally out from the building - - And on and on... You don't need a microscope to figure this one out.

The collapse of the three WTC buildings would seem to defy the laws of mechanics, conservation of energy and known structural failure behavior. The case for the destruction of the three WTC buildings by means of controlled demolition is overwhelming.

it doesn't take an engineer to see that the WTC buildings were obviously demolished by pre planted explosives.
