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 video analyses provided create a serious question (if not PROOF) of a inconsistancy in what the public has been told and what actually happened. The symmetry and speed at which not just two - but 3 buildings collapsed points to controlled demolition which is not able to be accomplished without significant planning, preparation and execution. There are many inadequately answered questions.

AE911Truth has researched and presented the technical proof that the collapse was not the result of the airplanes striking the building. I personally have studied proof of the conspiracy that leads to the collapse of the WTC buildings, and now of our Constitutional Republic. It is time to bring the guilty to justice. Our Country and the principals on which our Nation was founded depends on identifying and acting on the TRUTH.

I just found it really messed up how the second building that got hit was the first one to come down. I mean i can understand if the building tipped over or it broke down in several large segments but that kind of destruction down to fine pieces was hard to imagine once i took my classes about the strength of steel and its properties, its just not natural.

I do not subscribe to any conspiracy theory as there is a lack of evidence from all parties, those who are in government and those who are not. It reflects a supreme failure of the state to provide all its people with irrefutable hard evidence to support their answers to what happened on this day.

I have over forty years' experience in HVAC. I have been involved in the commercial and industrial building industry in many facets -- manufacturing management, wholesaling management, contractor, engineering consultant, and facilities engineer.
It seemed as if the collapses were classic implosions. While not a structural engineer, my HVAC design work has necessitated basic knowledge of structures to prevent overload from chilled water piping and rooftop HVAC machinery (chillers, air handling units, package cooling units, etc.). My placement of these items required interfacing and approval of the structural P.E. of record.

Even at the temperatures of building fires, the steel of construction could not lose sufficient strength to collapse under a partial structure load as is evidenced by 15 and 29 floors weight for each respective twin tower - the design load factors are simply too high to permit such failure. If mechanical failure were to occur, it would have occurred almost instantly and certainly asymmetrically.

I lived in Long Island as a kid from 1982 to 1984 and had the opportunity to visit the Twin Towers on two occasions then. By the way the buildings came down it is obvious to me that the cause would not have been the colision of both planes: if anything, when heated, steel structures should bend at the point that first looses the demanded resistance and would never colapse in a fragile manner throughout their entire length simultaneously. The world is onto one of the biggest and most obvious lies told in history and the truth is bound to come out. I'll be glad to help accelerate the process.

I am recently retired from a 30-yr career as a structural engineer in the military defense aerospace industry, holding DoD Secret Clearance throughout. My academic training was in civil structural engineering, and while I spent most of my career in space launch applications focusing on rocket structures, I managed the Ground Systems Structures Section at The Aerospace Corporation and have considerable practical experience with ground structures and facilities. I also have vast experience in failure investigations of launch systems and am well versed in the inter-disciplinary analyses -- thermodynamics, ballistics, structural dynamic and structures -- required to develop and explore credible hypotheses.
I was initially a skeptic regarding the possibility that the WTC was brought down by explosives. I erroneously thought that the conspiracy theories were based upon the notion that steel had to melt to precipitate a failure (it does not), and that rocket fuel doesn't burn at sufficient temperature to liquify steel (which is true). After reviewing the overwhelming evidence presented by the 911 Truth Organization, it is apparent to me that the steel did in fact melt, and that is incontrovertible evidence of the use of explosives. Together with the visual evidence, particularly that of WTC 7's signature implosion, there can be no doubt in the mind of anyone trained in structural engineering that these buildings were brought down by carefully placed explosive charges. NONE WHATSOEVER. As unthinkable as it is to me, it is hard to believe that anyone except agents of the U.S. federal government could have had the access and resources necessary to commit this atrocity.

I witnessed the first tower fall and thought the symmetric collapse very unusual but thought with an exact combination of circumstances, it could happen, but the chances were the same as winning a lottery. When the second tower collapsed, I became very skeptical and remain so. The third building collapsing erases any possibility of this attack being conducted without on-the-ground support. I believe the air attack was known prior to the attack and used as a diversion to demolish the buildings for some yet unknown reason.

When I saw the collapse of the buildings on television in Cuba, I remembered what my professor of Resistance of Materials said: the laws of physics can never be violated. When I watched the program on the Discovery Channel about the collapse of the towers I thought one of two possibilities existed: either it was a fault in the design of the building or it was a controlled demolition. The last explains everything without violating the laws of physics.

The government's official story(s) are highly implausible. The explanations contained in the 9/11 Commission's official report are unscientific and false, as David Ray Griffin has demonstrated in great detail in his books. The NIST reports on the collapses of the Twin Towers and WTC7 ignore key scientific data (nanothermate, near free fall collapse) and eyewitness testimony (of explosions in the buildings before the planes hit), and are based, not on objective physical evidence, but computer simulations whose inputs have been tweaked to somewhat agree with the video evidence of the collapses.

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 studied and graduated with a Civil Engineering degree focused in structures at Penn State University.
A uniform collapse of a building over its full width and length at free fall acceleration for 8 stories (as was noted by NIST for building #7), is more than likely not a product of office fires. To achieve this one would need simultaneous and almost instantaneous failures of all supporting columns in a building. The finding of iron microspheres and unignited material which has the signature of nano-thermite based on a team of international scientists (including nano-Chemist Niels Harrit with 60 scientific papers published in the best journals) is equally disturbing and merits an independent investigation into all 3 buildings.

It seems that the when it comes to the collapse of the 3 towers the 9/11 truthers and the 9/11 debunkers are talking about different parts of the collapse. The debunkers focus on the local damage caused by the planes and fires. Their claims of local failure might have some validity but they make no attempt to connect the local failures with the mode of global building failure we all observed. The 9/11 truthers start with the global building failures and work backward to what might have caused it. This seems to me a better approach.

After viewing videos of the collapse of both the Twin Towers and Building 7 and after carefully studying the Official 911 Commission Report and the technical report prepared by FEMA and the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, I am convinced that the airplane impacts did not by themselves cause the buildings to collapse -- particularly for Building 7, which was never impacted by an airplane. It appears that internal explosives must have caused the buildings' destruction, and the American People have the right to know who was responsible for this horrific act.

No steel skyscraper has ever collapsed from fire or, when collapsing, has been pulverized into a fine powder. The pancaking theory does not hold up, since we witnessed all 3 buildings collapse at the speed of gravity, and that would mean that there was no resistance as the floors were falling one on top of each other.
