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.

Due to many different facts I doubt the official explanation on the cause of the collapses of WTC building 1, 2 and 7. 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 symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I find it truly astonishing that the professional engineering societies can be so cowed by establishment pressure that there is not a groundswell of protest against the absurd official version of the 9/11 Twin Tower collapses as well as the impossible WTC 7 collapse. I believe the National Science Foundation must be investigated for complicity.

Worked over 20 years in design and fabrication of large Mobile Steel structures for port cranes.
Tall slim buildings bear high side wind loads in hurricanes, so they are inherently designed and built to sustain a multiple of their own weight at the columns. The top parts were weaker structures than the bottom section of the building. Top would have certainly destroyed itself at the first hammer blow to the much stronger and intact core columns. It is SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE that those buildings could have collapsed so fast and so perfectly vertically without something quickly kicking and removing the column joints from underneath; especially the core columns. We should have seen and heard a hammer blow, collapse of the top part on itself, and then a side slide of the top section, with the bottom part staying put. Instead, we saw the top perfectly intact dropping through a cloud of air filled with dust. Not only did 3000 innocents perish inside the rubble, but this country sent its boys to war on three more countries with hundreds of thousands more innocents dead and maimed because what really happened was hidden from Americans. The climate of shock and fear stopped rational thinking and made people believe convenient lies rather than face the difficult truth. It is the patriotic duty of the nation's educated and professionals to arouse and illuminate the public awareness into seeking THE TRUTH.

We need a full, independent, impartial, public investigation into how and why Building 7 collapsed. Small fires at one side of the building (and no fire at the other side) can not be the cause of it coming down uniformly and at free fall acceleration. - - - - There is overwhelming evidence that explosives were used and this must be investigated rather than being seemingly covered up. - - - - For the safety of present and future generations, we must know what happened.

The collapse of Building 1,2 &7 are so similar to controlled demolition of other buildings...that it isn't even funny. Fire does not cause buildings to collapse at near free fall speed! Why does the government want to suppress a new independent investigation? We as the American people, not just professionals need to demand a new truly independent investigation!

I graduated from college and passed my Mass. state E.I.T exam in 1991. Upon graduation, I began working for a local engineering firm doing HVAC design for commercial buildings. I then moved on to performing structural analysis/ design for the same firm, and finally ended up as a manager in charge of demolition projects for a Natural Gas equipment company, where I worked for 8 years. I have since moved on to being self-employed in an unrelated field.
The buildings that fell on 9-11-01 appeared to me, to fall at near FREE FALL speed. Without performing any experiments or calculations, and just relying on pure, old fashioned common sense, this is not possible in a steel building .... even one that had the structure weakened by fire. If the Pancake theory is correct, it stands to reason the resistance that the falling mass would encounter as each floor collapsed, would slow down the fall, at least intermittently. I simply DO NOT believe the official report and would like to see a new independent investigation.

I became interested in a possible cover up of the true nature of the collapse of the WTC towers after reading some of Dr. Steven Jones research on the matter. Dr. Jones was an archeologist/physicist at BYU before resigning due to the controversial nature of his research into the 9/11 attacks. BYU had no desire to have their name associated with controversial topics of political nature, as I'm sure it is something most institutions would seek to avoid. Dr. Jones makes a compelling case for controlled demolition on the WTC towers.

When I watched the collapse of the WTC buildings, I knew there was something fishy about the whole affair. No building of that size goes down in free-fall speed, and collapses in his own foot-print. It looked to me more like a typical controlled demolition with explosive charges, remember the King Dome in Seattle. Jet Fuel is like Kerosene with a low flame point, its fire temperature is never high enough temperature to melt steel. There was a high-rise in Madrid that burnt for days without coming down.

I always felt that this happened too precisely and that it was very odd how it happened. Never thought that the way that the planes hit and went through the buildings could actually happen that way (the Wiley Coyote pattern). As I get older and wiser, I've not got a lot of confidence in what is being revealed to the public as to what is actually happening today with politics, technology, and otherwise. I feel that there is a huge mask placed over much of what is happening in the name of National Security.

When I saw the collapses on TV, I thought they were unusual but did not question the mainstream media (MSM) account. I heard about Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth on Coast to Coast Am last night, and they presented the evidence for controlled demolition. I am now aware of it and believe it is the truth; it is obvious that it was controlled demolition. I want to know who was responsible and how they did it.

There needs to be a structural evaluation of the failure of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 on September 11, 2001 in New York City. I believe there is no possibly way the buildings could have collapsed the way they did without a professional demolition effort. All three buildings should have fallen over first.

I am very concerned that the government can present a story about what happened on 9-11 and everyone, including the press, just believes it because they say so, regardless of conflicting evidence or lack of supporting evidence for the official story. Something terribly bad happened on 9/11 and after. This country can not get back on the right course until the events of that day are THOROUGHLY and TRULY investigated and justice served for the 3000+ of my countrymen that died that day and those first responders who are still dying.

Clearly there is NO WAY the buildings of 9-11 could have collapsed (especially at free fall) from the fires and damage they sustained. Why there has not been a total debunking of the official 'report' before now is a total mystery to me.

The aircraft were not controlled from the cockpit when they hit buildings 1 and 2. The aerobatics with aircraft full of people, full of fuel, full of cargo, could not have been done by human control. They precisely bank and swerve into specific floors, middle, with precise bank to allow floor above and below to slice open the fuel tanks in the wings for immediate surface-of-building fire and smoke (maximum psychological/terror affect). This required a quartz altimeter (accurate to two feet elevation). The inexperienced Saudi alleged pilots would have simply flown straight into the buildings, open above surrounding buildings, not requiring any radical maneuvering what-so-ever.

After viewing the building 7 collapse, I have to say if somebody told me that a demolition expert was reducing building 7 to rubble I would agree. The thermite connection is strong evidence that somebody orchestrated cutting the under-pinnings of building 7 and probably had the twin towers prepared for demolition.

The few videos I have seen and interviews I have heard were taken with much skepticism. However there are many troubling questions that I feel the 911 commission did not answer. The most troubling to me is that the investigation was obviously not done in a completely objective and scientific way. Much evidence was neglected, and those on the panel most likely had prejudices to the findings.

I am extremely concerned about the melted metal found versus temperatures found in a normal 'office fire', as well as the quickness and direction of collapse. A friend of mine receives full physicals every 3 years, paid for by the government, since he helped in the recovery effort; knowing that he could have/has inhaled metallic microspheres is alarming.

First, verify the facts. Leave the speculation to later. Based on the photographic evidence of the collapses alone, there are a host of issues that cry out to be openly debated until there is a complete and consistent explanation of events. Without a truly independent commission, speculation will remain rampant and conspiracy theory(ies) flourish. It would be even less likely that those responsible will be brought to justice if we can't agree on what brought the buildings down.

It is difficult for me to believe from a technical point of view that building 7 collapsed as the official report indicates from fire and debris damage. Portions of the building may have collapsed from damage however, the entire building collapsed symmetrically including the portions of the building which were in no way compromised as a result of the collapse of the twin towers.

Major holes in the official story: - - - - 1) Building collapse geometry and timing (Straight down near free fall speed. - - 2) WTC 7 collapse impossible within any conceivable natural disaster scenario. - - 3) Nano-Thermite - - 4) Imbeciles supposedly have the ability to flawlessly fly jet aircraft directly to their targets. - - - - My opinion is that the 9/11 investigators don't even believe their own report - otherwise why has their been NO call for a revision to the structural building codes? Supposedly there had been a major structural steel frame building collapse at near free fall speed due to very minor structural damage and fire only (WTC 7). If that was actually the case then at the very least the structural building codes should be reviewed and revised as needed. And then with that new code in hand every steel-frame high-rise building in the country should be evaluated with probably most of them requiring retrofitting and redesign. Do you see any of this activity? Wouldn't that be the responsible action to take if WTC 7 and the other buildings had actually failed as the official government story? - - - - The buildings were brought down - that's not a conspiracy theory, that's a fact.

Occupation: Engineer
I have 23 years experience as a mechanical engineer. I hold a BS in Civil Engineering and a AAS in HVAC design. I have worked as a consulting engineer, marine engineer, mechanical contractor, waste-water plant operator and building maintenance engineer. My educational background in civil engineering combined with my work experience, mainly in mechanical engineering, has given me a broad background in all aspects of engineering and construction.
I was working for a consulting engineer (Lizardos Engineering, Albertson, NY) at the time of the first bombing of the Towers in 1993. Two of our engineers were in the building at the time of the bombing. They returned to the office unharmed but certainly shaken up and covering in soot. I don't really think anyone needs to be an engineer or physicist to look at the footage and evidence from 9/11 and come up with many questions.The manner in which all three towers fell is not remotely consistent with the official explanation. The official explanation, in fact, is not even remotely consistent with the laws of physics!
