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.

Having checked out the 9/11 Truth sites, I believe that there is a great deal more here than meets the eye. I want to be of help and will do anything I can to circle the wagons and help defend the constitution against those who are guilty of treason. I will start by reading David Griffith, Mark Gaffney, Craig Unger, Gore Vidal, and hundreds of others to try to capture the entire background of 9/11. My reviews of those books will appear in the collection of Shvoong.com under the heading of 9/11.

I earned a bachelors degree from Florida International University in Mechanical Engineering in 1997. I have a very good understanding of machine dynamics and kinematics. I am a very successful reliability engineer because I understand the physics of how machines are supposed to work, and subsequently, why they don't work.
I was an FAA licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic before becoming a mechanical engineer, so I know that jet fuel is only kerosene. I was suspicious of the news stories that said that a jet fuel fire collapsed a modern steel frame skyscraper....as if kerosene had the heat capacity to melt steel or there were even enough calories in the fuel tank of a single airplane to melt the massive steel columns of the WTC buildings... all the way to the basement. It also bothered me that two chaotic events (separate airplanes hitting WTC 1 and WTC 2 in different locations) resulted in identical failures.

Dear Mr. Gage: Thank you for taking on the architectural and engineering review of the collapses on 9/11 of the buildings at the World Trade Center site. I was dubious of the official explanations from the outset. You see, as a professional city planner in New York, I knew those buildings and their design. I attended and participated in the hearings at the New York City Hall when the buildings were first proposed. I argued for the buildings on the basis that the interior core represented a way of internalizing the cost of mass transit, which in our system is almost impossible to finance through public bond issues. So I was well aware of the strength of the core with its steel columns, surrounding the elevators, and stairwells. I should also mention that with a degree in architecture and instruction in steel design (my Yale professor had worked on the Empire State Building) I was and am no novice in structural design. When I saw the rapid collapse of the towers, I knew that they could not come down the way they did without explosives and the severing of core columns at the base. The spewing of debris from the towers where the planes entered also could not have occurred simply with just a structural collapse. Something else was happening to make this occur. Moreover, the symmetrical collapse is strong evidence of a controlled demolition. A building falling from asymmetrical structural failure would not collapse so neatly, nor so rapidly, as you have pointed out. What we are faced with is a lie of such proportions that even to suggest it makes one subject to ridicule and scorn. Who could have done such a terrible thing? Certainly not our government or military. Rogue elements in the intelligence agencies? I have no idea. But I do know that the official explanation doesn't hold water. An open, honest re-opening of the case is in order. A near majority of Americans agrees with this view. Let us keep pressing for an honest investigation.

AE911truth.org listed a lot of undeniable facts based upon structural and physical principles, that are in conflict with the official explanations of public authorities and politicians. Some of these facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that there are not more voices in the world who express their unbelief.

The most important issue confronting the United States citizen is the courage to demand the Truth, and not to be satisfied until an independent, objective, through and complete investigation is conducted into the collapse of the Twin Towers as well as Building#7, and also the attack on the Pentagon, and the overall events of the entire day on 9/11. The investigating committee must be well funded with subpoena powers. No one is above these subpoena powers, and Contempt charges must be lodged against anyone not obeying the subpoena. The hearings should be broadcast across the country, around the world every day until they are concluded. The findings will be made public and law enforcement will be expected to continue any further investigation if necessary and to indict anyone suspected of being involved in this national tragedy. The government explanation of the events that day are fantastic and unbelievable. The major media, free press has for the most part disgraced itself. Buildings don't collapse at free fall speeds unless the bottom structure is blown out. Nanothermite is not a natural ingredient found in Manhattan soil. Airplane fuel does not melt steel. Steel structured buildings do not fall from fires. Paper passports do not fair better than steel and concrete. Concrete does not become a powder from collapsing. Buildings do not collapse on their own.

I graduated from Clarkson University in 1998. I focussed my attention on structures, optimization, and renewable energy. I took a graduate level course in Finite Element Analysis and that gives me some background to critically review the NIST studies on the WTC collapses.
Upon seeing the video of the WTC 7 collapse, I could see immediately that this was a classic case of controlled demolition. Clearly the core columns were cut first -- as shown by the center of the roof beginning collapse before the rest of the building -- and then the rest comes down at free-fall. Classic and unmistakable. If the WTC 7 was demolished, why not WTC 1 & 2? If there were any demolitions, then clearly 9/11 was an inside job. Period. We must find out who did this crime before they strike again in America -- perhaps with an even greater crime.

After a preliminary evaluation of the evidence presented by competent architectural and engineering professionals since 2001 including information presented on the Architectural & Engineers 9/11 web site, it appears that a separate independent review is in order. Answers to many lingering questions directed to the collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings, including Building 7, need to be addressed and the results presented to the American public.

I was fortunate to develop expertise in fields of Aeronautical Engineering particularly Vibro Accoustic damage on trans-sonic applications and damage mitigation from nuclear events.
True, both WTC 1 & 2 , North & South structures were impacted by commercial 757's killing innocent passengers, crew & hijackers along with occupants in the building floors at point of impact. The devastation and human loss beyond the impact site was due to other influences because of the proven design and features of the Towers. The temperatures in the impact areas due to burning Jet-A fuel and the office furnishings and business tools could NOT rise to the level of 3000-4000 deg. F necessary to deform and fail structural steel joints and the total collapse of the structures. Such failure could only be caused by man-made features of pyro-technical assets pre-placed by outsiders. Look at the destruction of WTC 7. No aircraft or heavy debris collateral from the Towers struck that building. All destruction was in the classical method of building REMOVAL to make way for new assets.

As I continue to learn more regarding the events surrounding 9/11, I have to begun to see that this has the hallmarks of a controlled demolition. As such, I am interested in exploring who did the elevator work in the buildings during the period just prior to 9/11: who was this company? Even more: who were the specific workers assigned to this elevator project? What specifically was the upgrade that they performed? These workers should be deposed as part of a larger independent investigation.

For those with a knowledge of science it is clear what happened to the WTC buildings. Controlled demolition. Even many with just common sense know the official story is inadequate. The questions that need to be addressed are who was responsible for the terrorist act and who was/is responsible for the continuing cover up.

Retired after ca. 40 years as primarily an analytical engineer with approximately 30 years doing stress analysis. Have extensive experience analyzing structural steel frames for Fuel Cell Power Plants. Also have extensive experience performing heat transfer analysis on high temperature fuel processor components and using the results to perform thermal stress analyses.
The official story has so many holes in it it is a wonder that it does not collapse under its own weight. The evidence presented by the engineers and architects seeking the truth about 9/11 makes sense. The collapse modes of the WTC buildings do not make sense based on any structural evaluation based on airplane crash damage and subsequent fires.

From and engineering standpoint, I believe the most powerful evidences against the official theory are as follows: 1) Molten and glowing steel under all 3 piles of rubble found months later. This would be impossible if the only thing burning were smothered remnants of office supplies and remnants of jet fuel which mostly burned off in the first few minutes. Temperatures of combustion of such an oxygen starved fuel could not even make steel glow. 2) The inability of the remnants of jet fuel and office supplies to provide sufficient heat to significantly weaken key structural members evenly to the point of failure. 3) The towers falling at near the acceleration of gravity into their own footprint. Even if the impacted floors somehow gave way due solely to fire, they certainly would not give way at the same time all around the structure. One side would have been weaker than another causing that side to fail first causing the upper structure to tip over imparting rotational momentum to the upper structure and shifting the CG away from the stronger side and onto the weaker side causing the weaker side to collapse faster... and so on until the tops of the buildings toppled over. There is no way an uncontrolled demolition would be so neat as these were. The mass and structure below the failure point would have absorbed enormous energy and momentum slowing the fall to significantly less than the acceleration of gravity. 4) Building 7 sustained minimal damage with only a few cool fires and its collapse has yet to be explained officially. 5) The many vertical structural members would have no cause to buckle and shear off at 45 degree angles. If the floors were to pancake as supposed, they would have had to shear off of the vertical supports leaving hundreds of feet of beams sticking up in the air. ...and I could go on...

The Bldg #7 NIST report of thermal expansion initiating a global gravity collapse, is not supported by the video evidence of gravity free fall without resistance of the structural members below, which would inhibit the fall of the structure. Thermite evidence is very strong. Controlled demo is strongly supported, not weakened steel strength due to fires, most of which were diminished. Twin towers have strong evidence of controlled demolition.

Because I was familiar with controlled demolition and I have seen quite a few, including high rise apartment buildings in Spain, the moment I saw the WTC towers collapsing on 9/11, I got the strong feeling that they were brought down with explosives. The highly professional job done by AE911Truth has consolidated by beliefs. Today I have no doubts whatsoever that all three towers were demolished in a controlled fashion. Furthermore, I believe those demolitions were a master piece that one day may be tought in engineering schools.

Professional experience has been in the Manufacturing realm. Also in Quality Engineering. I have been studying the 9/11 attacks closely for the past year and a half after first hearing credible evidence that they were contradictory to the official report.
I do not believe the official explanation of the collapse of not only the towers, but especially the collapse of building 7. The recent NIST report claims that the building collapsed as a result of fire induced thermal expansion. The completely uniform failure of the building (causing it to drop straight down at freefall speed) is completely contradictory to the computer generated model they provided as evidence. The simulation showed one section of the building collapsing and then the remainder. Video evidence of building 7 proves this was not how it fell. Knowing a good bit about physics, I don't believe building 7 could have come down as the result of anything other than controlled demolition.

I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

My thoughts are a pancake of floor down to next floor would have created a uniform dust blast in all directions, like dropping a book on a dirty garage floor, not individual squibs in certain spots. I did not see uniform displacement, I see squibs. I hear too many eyewitnesses reporting explosions in different parts of the building. Clip of firefighters is key, boom boom boom all the way down, like a controlled demolition. More than one source reported that the firefighters knew bldg 7 was about to be pulled. Compare film of other controlled demolitions; building 7 was a planned, controlled demolition.

The cause of the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 could be argued in court (unfortunately). WTC7 failure mode (complete collapse) is not possible, the building had no fire and minimal exterior damage as per TV footage. If anything, the expected structural failure mode would be partial collapse (shearing across 30-45 degrees), located nearest WTC main towers. - - Note: Highly likely that collapse of WTC 1 and 2 would trip out all electrical power in WTC area, including WTC7.

Jeremy Beck is the Citizens Electoral Council's Victorian State Chairman. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering Hons, and worked in quality management in the photographic industry before joining the CEC in 1999.
Even someone who has passed High School physics should know the official story of 9/11 is a fraud. Buildings will not collapse at near free-fall speed from fire and/or aircraft impact. Any scientist suggesting such a possibility is a liar or incompetent. There are too many unexplained inconsistencies in the official story of 9/11 to mention. Having studied much material from Lyndon LaRouche's publications, particularly from Executive Intelligence Review magazine, I see that BAE Systems and Dick Cheney have a lot of explaining to do in relation to 9/11.

I received a BS in Architectural Engineering from the University of Wyoming in '98 and worked as a Consulting Mechanical Engineer for 5 years after.
After reviewing the data, photos, video accounts, statements from first responders, explanation for the collapse, etc. I believe that the FEMA explanation is inaccurate and requires further investigation. The upper floors affected by the impact could have caused structural failure, but this does not explain the complete and total failure of the supporting structure of the floors below. The explanation of the fire from the impact and jet fuel causing the total and complete failure of the supporting structures is false due to the relatively low temperatures of the fires and the massive amounts of structural steel at the core of the building. The pancake theory of collapse would support the evidence of several of the lower floors at ground zero. There was no evidence of anything that resembled a floor structure, nor any concrete pieces that were bigger than the size of a fist. This is evidence that would support the use of explosives instead of a natural building collapse due to upper level failure and subsequent gravitational impact.

Two little planes in two big towers and the towers fall down... That's the first time I saw that...

Served as a US Naval Officer for four years and then worked many years as a US Navy Shore Facilities Construction Manager, GS-12 in San Diego, at Moffett Field, Pearl Harbor Hawaii, Midway etc. Am now retired.
Video, from any angle, of WTC-7's 'collapse' is all which needs to be seen.

I finished the Master of Science degree in Energy engineering in 2007, including one year at CERN. Since then I have been working with research and development in the field of wave energy conversion.
Even though I have difficulties in accepting the explanation that is suggested for 9/11, I think it is very clear that official explanation is even less likely.

Get some dust and look for the metallic microspheres and red/gray chips. The spheres are evidence of temperatures beyond the capability of jet fuel, and the chips produce molten iron droplets when ignited!

I am an ASE Master Auto Mechanic. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. At that time, a lack of job offers and a love of fixing things motivated me to learn to fix automobiles.
There is absolutely no reason to believe the official story. The black smoke pouring out of the towers obviously indicates a rich, or air starved, fire not capable of being so hot to melt steel.

Involved in design and development areas such as product development, manufacturing process development, manufacturing tools, and research. Have an interest in precision engineering.
I agree, completely, that physics and the scientific method do not support the official story. I remember thinking it odd that the towers fell on themselves, but didn't question the official explanation - out of blind trust. When I first learned that the WTC buildings collapsed in freefall, I realized that something was wrong. Then I learned that the amount of energy required to pulverize concrete into the size of the resulting dust particles was much larger than the amount available. Then I learned about thermite and evidence of its use. None of these things are explainable by the official explanation of 9/11. I love the rights I used to have, liberty, justice, & the pursuit of happiness ... and want them for my children and their children too!

Was Environmental Consultant for 15 years. Familiar with Air Pollution, Radionuclide contamination, contamination of groundwater systems. Conducted investigations of air pollution in regards to Worker health and safety.
I have studied the fall of those three buildings extensively. All three were obviously brought down by demolition charges. The health effects (very high cancer and other disease rates) to the site workers and the locals clearly leads to these conclusions. It is obvious from watching the buildings fall that demolition charges were used to bring the buildings down. The official story was provided by those who have committed the fraud. The means of the investigation was clearly not according to the methods that are normally used during a crime scene investigation. As much evidence as possible was loaded onto trucks and then barges and removed from the site to be immediately smelted in India and China, thus eliminating the most damning evidence, the signature of the super high explosives, and Thermate. These very hot explosives were used to cut the massive girders within that building. All involved in this giant scam need jail and capital charges.

Today, we can not ignore that a significant part of public opinion in the world does not believe in the official explanation on 911 events. Recent polls indicated it clearly. Partitioned initially on the Internet, the challenge appears increasingly in the mainstream media. This global movement is often opposed by sociological approach not based on the analysis of the facts, but on subjective or dogmatic considerations. Our Western society make a premise on a rational approach to reality. As such, it can not be the economy of a technical and public debate on the events of 11 September 2001. To those who complain extreme use of the principle of the doubt', we remember their words of Age of Enlightenment French philosopher Ren' Descartes : If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

Having watched the 'attack' on live television at 4:30 in the afternoon in central Europe, what was shown to the rest of the world leaves it clear in my mind why a distaste for Americans has developed the world over. My main fear about 9/11 is the amount of secrecy that enveloped 'ground zero.' By not allowing independent investigators access to the site seems awfully convenient. Another 'convenience' occurred when building 7, holding valuable CIA and DoD information, collapsed as neatly as the Twin Towers without having been directly damaged. The ever-growing list of questions concerning the events that September morning MUST be investigated if we are to accept the fate of a war justified by such an act.
