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.

TERRY NORMAN, CEng., BSc Eng., M Inst.M & C. Terry is a capable and respected design engineer with a wide experience of production plant, process engineering, construction, commissioning and project engineering. After obtaining a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of London in 1969, this was followed by comprehensive industrial training with the Shell Company as an Instrument and Control Engineer. With over 20 years in the oil and gas industry and spells in the Steel Industry and in British Aerospace Military Division as a mechanical test engineer, Terry then spent 13 years with the Health and Safety Executive as a specialist engineer, covering safety case work and accident investigation on construction plant and lifting equipment. He has developed a thorough knowledge of the HSAWA principle of risks being as low as reasonably practicable, and has prepared and presented evidence for safety case assessment and litigation purposes on numerous occasions.
Simple observation of the falling of the towers shows typical characteristics of controlled explosive demolition. Even if it had been possible to melt the structural steel on the upper floors from fuel burning, which is doubtful, it is highly likely, virtually certain, that the upper sections of the towers would have toppled intact, leaving the lower sections standing.

The view of independent experts is obviously correct, it is physically impossible for a building to collapse at close to free fall acceleration, unless all resistance in the floors below has first been removed, requiring a blow out of all the columns on the floors below, in addition, localized damage could not produce a symmetrical collapse as seen in video footage of the collapse of building 7.

I witnessed a white line flash (no smoke noticed) around the first tower to fall on 9-11-2001, about mid-height of the tower, on television coverage, in Northborough, MA, where I was working as a structural engineer.I visited one of the towers circa 1996; went to the top of that tower to visitor's viewing area. My 40 some years of structural practice anticipated on 9-11-2001 that each tower would remain erect and, possibly, bend above the impact/fire level. However, to progressively collapse so neatly onto their footprints, from my engineering experiences, could only have been accomplished by professional demo charges; same with WTC7 Building collapse.

WTC Building 7's planned and triggered collapse (via controlled demolition) at approx. 5pm on the same day as the twin towers collapse is sufficient evidence that the twin towers themselves were also set up for controlled demolition. It is impossible to install explosives into WTC Tower 7 (on the same day) to then 'pull it' down.

The WTC destruction was eerily similar to that of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Both had bombs placed in strategic locations throughout the building to bring the buildings down without toppling over onto surrounding buildings. The Murrah Building, however, had television footage that told of firefighters and emergency workers taking unexploded bombs out of the building before the national powers were able to spin the story to use of only one outdoor fertilizer bomb. Both had the evidence carted off before a full investigation could be completed and both allowed critical documents concerning dubious projects to conveniently be destroyed. Finally, both had agencies that occupied those buildings that told their workers not to go to work on those fateful days.

From the beginning I have had serious doubts that 9/11 could have taken place as has been reported. From my own research there are too many important facts preceding 9/11 and on 9/11 that have been kept from the public. I find the government reports so far to actually be insulting to my own intelligence. For instance, the passports they found on the sidewalk outside the trade center and other such nonsense. I want a real investigation, not one of these insider politico hand picked hack jobs.

The buildings collapsed symmetrically which means they did not fall from side impacts. The buildings collapsed too quickly for the collapse to be due to fire. The investigations were not handled in a manner that satisfied my curiosity about the causes behind the collapse.

WTC buildings came down in their footprints with behavior of planned demolitions. Why was WTC 7 pulled when it wasn't hit by jet? This comment by Silverstein indicates a pre-prepared demolition of at least WTC Building 7, if not the other two buildings also. Numerous witnesses (Firemen, police officers, citizens, etc.) have testified that they heard repeated explosions indicating bombs planted throughout building. Testimony and evidence used in the official 9/11 investigation seems selective and incomplete and biased. The hole in Pentagon not big enough for a Boeing 757 to have hit it. In my view, numerous unanswered questions and unscientific analyzes prompt me to call for a new and unbiased investigation to get to the truth of this national tragedy.

I am the Newsletter Editor for Denton ABATE, a motorcyclists rights organization and a chapter of Texas ABATE. We lobby for safer roads and better education for drivers and motorcyclists. But the evidence I have seen about the Twin Towers collapse makes me think I am focusing on too small an issue. There are bigger things to be concerned about, like the probability that the Twin Towers were deliberately demolished. This cannot be ignored.
The morning of 9/11, I turned on the TV as the first tower fell. Not knowing anything about the jets hitting the towers, I thought that it was a local news feed about a deliberate building demolition. After reading and seeing some of the evidence, it now appears that my first instinct may have been right on the mark.

It is revealing that few people are passionate about learning the true events of September 11, 2001. While it is a very difficult thing to face, the inevitable conclusion that our gov't had to be involved is empowering. One can then begin to question the healthiness of one's food, skies, seas, even media, and adopt at least some habits to counteract these onslaughts.I do have a question: Why aren't people talking about the fact that one man owned all 3 buildings, that Rumsfeld announced $2.3 trillion went missing the day before the Pentagon accounting dept was obliterated, or that the evidence collected during an FBI/SEC investigation of various WS firms went down w/ building 7?

I follow the peace movement in the United States and although I admire many of the people involved such as David Swanson and Ann Wright, I deplore the movement's hands-off attitude toward 9/11, which is the root and cause of the last decade and a half of global conflict. Without exposing the truth about what happened, and naming the people behind it, peace will allude us. There is one thing that didn't get enough coverage when it was revealed, but is just the same of great importance to those of us trying to make sense of 9/11. The reason Bush gave Chirac for invading Iraq:Bush, Chirac, Gog and Magog.

I am a writer and researcher, and I've spent several years battling the troubling unanswered questions surrounding the events of 9/11.
I was living in Boston at the time of the attack, and can remember my initial reaction to the news reports as the buildings came down: Wow. That looks like a demolition. Upon further research, the facts pertaining to historical precedent surrounding the destruction of steel-framed buildings due to fire (there is none); the temperature at which jet-fuel, paper, fabric, wood, etc. burns compared to the temperature at which steel is compromised; and the odd fact the WTC7 was not even impacted by an airplane and the fire in that building seemed under control-- all these issues bring up deep questions about the veracity of the official story. Further, the events that have taken place on a global stage under the pretense of preventing another 9/11--the Iraq war, the Bush administration's relationships in the region and with domestic corporate entities-- raise further questions about how an event like 9/11 might in fact be advantageous in implementing certain policies that would otherwise not gain public support.

Throughout history, there has never been a recorded incidence when an airplane struck a modern skyscraper, and the fires resulting from the crash caused the building to collapse. Those towers were made with construction-grade steel that were tempered to withstand fires hotter than the jet fuel used to fuel the planes could neither maintain nor even reach. Yet the building collapsed at near free-fall speed and landed in a straight line, in the same manner as a controlled demolition. In addition, there are several recorded incidents by both civilians and reporters of explosions being heard in the WTC area after the initial impacts. I also fail to understand why the black boxes of the planes were never recovered, or why weeks after the tragedy there were still hot-spots(allegedly caused by thermite) where the vertical steel supports once stood.

I thought if it were burning wouldn't it take a long time to burn? Especially made of all that iron? Also - my friend lived in Brooklyn (a long distance from the WTC) and she said that torn bits of papers floated into her yard - now how could a fire make torn bits of papers blow that far?

I am a post-secondary student, not studying a science but am nonetheless interested and always apply it to my life. Since I am guided by scientific reason, I see no way to reconcile the logic that is the truth with the reports that are nonsense.
Though I was very skeptical at first, a reviewing of lectures and scientific literature have now convinced me that the numerous official 9/11 reports are not adequate to explain, scientifically or otherwise, why the World Trade Center buildings collapsed. The integral reason for my conversion is the symmetry of destruction, as well as the completeness of it, that can only be explained by planned detonations.

What I value most from this experience (particularly in trade publishing) is discovering how it is possible to convince the public of something's reality in complete defiance of facts or probability by relying mainly on consensus and unchallenged authority.
I'm as uncomfortable with the implications of why it happened and what has been done in its name, as with the improbability that it could have happened the way it is officially claimed.

I am gravely concerned about the impossibility of the official story, that 2 airplanes somehow managed to knock down 3 steel framed buildings into their own footprints at nearly free fall speeds, but then, all of the evidence was swiftly removed. the repercussions of this official falsehood are still being felt in an ever expanding circle of fear mongering, wars and lies. We need to re-examine as well the policies and actions that were enacted based upon a serious fiction, yet how much easier this will be when the fiction itself is revealed as such, it will be a small but crucial step in reclaiming our ability to breathe easier and think critically and clearly, to bring light and truth to all this terrifying and tortured darkness.

I've been a writer and poet for many years in San Francisco. Active in the spoken word scene, and supporter of the 9/11 truth movement since early 2004. My photos have been in numerous shows, and two books by RE/Search Publications. Also, for what it's worth: four years of college (liberal arts). I have been working as a part-time legal assistant for a criminal defense attorney (specializing in the death penalty).
I had doubts about the official cover-up story of 9/11 early on - the absence of the Air Force made no sense, and neither did the way the buildings came down. There is a photo of a woman standing in the jagged opening that one of the planes made in one of the towers - which suggests that the fires were cooling down and the buildings would have survived the plane crash - except for the fact that explosives had been planted in the building. Nothing else could have made them collapse the way they did. This happened in broad daylight and yet many people still want to believe the myth rather than the truth (partly because the truth is more disturbing). Reminds me of what Galileo was up against - with the church saying people had to be protected from certain facts, such as the earth not being the center of the universe. Somehow we are able to live with that knowledge, as future generations will be able to live with the knowledge of what really happened on 9/11.

Like everyone else I watched the collapse of the world trade center, over and over again on TV. Had no particular theory of how they collapsed, since the media didn't present any of that. Mostly it brought us human interest stories. I must admit, when I look at the pictures now, it seems odd to see such incredible damage resulting from the impact. When that small plane hit the Empire State building, it caused very little damage, and I remember thinking about that. Since I saw the presentation here, (admittedly I have no technical knowledge in this area) I feel quite strongly that that you have shown us is plausible and seems to indicate an engineered destruction more powerful than anything the planes could have caused. It is a chilling story you have to tell!

I am a honors graduate with a degree in English Language & Literature; I am a writer, not an architect or engineer. However, I have reviewed the evidence and arguments put forward by 'Architects & engineers for 9/11 Truth' and find it compelling and convincing on grounds of scientific evidence, not political motivation. The laws of physics, it seems, were suspended for one day only, on September 11th 2001. Only an examination of the physics can explain how that could have happened.
Never before has a steel framed concrete skyscraper collapsed like that due to fire. Never. But on September 11th 2001 it happened three times in one day; and one of them wasn't even hit by a plane. Impossible. Then there's the multiple explosions and nano thermite/thermate residue and pools of molten steel still flowing days later. a building fire or jet fuel fire simply cannot produce anywhere near that kind of heat. The official story tells us one thing, but an alarming body of evidence tells a horribly different story. The appointment of Philip Zelikow as Director of the 9/11 Commission is no coincidence: just look into the man's background in 'using public myths to shape views of history' especially in the context of 'catastrophic terrorism'. He sounds like the expert on false flag operations and how to implant a lie into the public consciousness, doesn't he?

We are intelligent and awake people, and we deserve and demand the truth and justice!

The free fall, symmetrical, vertical collapse of the towers seems to me to be the most compelling evidence. Also, the evidence of Thermite in the dust, and the pools of molten metal seem to me to be very strong evidence.
