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.

BSCE, while I don't work in Structures I've had enough physics, mechanics, thermo and design classes to know when the explanation does not match the facts.
The published official explanation does not match the facts. I do not know what happened on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, but I know what didn't happen. Two planes cannot bring down two buildings, much less three.

The cause of building WTC 7's collapse per the single point failure article did not show how the forces were transmitted through the truss members from the supposed column on the east side of the building (the initiating event) through to the other columns which were several hundred feet away. The article mentions progressive failures from this initial event, however the video of the collapse shows no such progression. Each and west sides fell simultaneously.

Any critical thinker can clearly see that the official story is bogus. Personally, there is nothing more urgent to resolve than the anomalies of 9/11 and to bring justice to the real perpetrators of this crime. This is paramount to halting the destructive wars that continue to this day.

I have BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering. I won a nationwide engineering competition during my senior design project for my BS degree. This offered me a paid research position at Oak Ridge National Laboratories to do my Master's thesis research, and I worked there for a year in their materials science division. I specialized in heat transfer and fluid mechanics for my thesis, as well as materials science. Graphite foam was the material I used for my research, because it was newly developed and has many applications due to its extremely high thermal diffusivity and conductivity.
9/11 was the most horrifying day in American history. To any engineer or physicist, it is also one of the most mysterious days in our history. On that day, the official story claims that small range office fires (less than 10% of the total floor area) made two 110-story skyscrapers burst into dust in 10 seconds each. At 5:20 pm the same day, WTC7 also collapsed. NIST noted that WTC7 fell at 'free fall acceleration' for 2.25 seconds of its collapse, which proves that that tower was demolished. For a building to go from being in static equilibrium one second to undergoing full free-fall acceleration into its own structure the next second, the interior structure of the building must be compromised before those members were forced to buckle due to being overloaded. The twin towers collapsed very fast as well, at over 80% the acceleration of gravity. Since the bottom sections of each tower were undamaged, and also built with thicker columns than the top section, one would expect the collapse to slow down and then stop as floors were being crushed (absorbing kinetic energy). However, this wasn't the case. If people continue to believe the lies we were told that day, our country is doomed to a future of tyranny.

It's impossible for a typical stock commercial airplane to enter a skyscraper as if it were butter at achievable sea level flight speeds. It's impossible that a small amount of jet fuel could weaken ALL steel columns to collapse SIMULTANEOUSLY, FLOOR AFTER FLOOR. It's impossible for a building hit from the side to fall straight down. It's impossible for a skyscraper to be pulverized by a commercial plane, especially when it is built to withstand plane crashes. The list goes on & on....

"Building 2, the second building hit and the first to ""collapse"" was hit two thirds of the way up. It breaks off at the impact point and a photo shows it leaning over at 20 degrees. The pile driver effect is gone at that point. The top third of the building is no longer pressing down on the bottom two thirds. No load = no buckling. Imagine a tree in the woods being struck by lightning two thirds of the way up. The top third breaks off and falls over. Then, starting at the top of the remaining ""stump"" which is two thirds the height of the original tree, a wave of destruction starts and goes down at near freefall, spewing out wood chips and sawdust. Where did all this this energy come from?"

I got interested because of the polls showing an international opinion of over 50% believing it wasn't terrorists. When I saw this I felt the government had a responsibility to prove the case. When they didn't and wouldn't, I did an investigation of my own. I used my ability to trouble shoot situations where the investigator is even presented with lies, which is often the case, to conclude the buildings did not come down from fire or the damage from planes. The Silvestein interview was the first bad data point concerning the situation. Then I found more than I needed to support my theory beyond any doubt.

The 'official' story has too many discrepancies. As an attorney I wonder why the area was not treated like a crime scene. As an engineer I have many questions; the most obvious one is how did building 7 fall?

I studied Civil & Structural Engineering at University before completing an Associate Diploma in Science (Construction) in 1991. I had my builders license in Australia and owned a small Construction Company prior to my calling to the priesthood in 1995. In 1994 I visited the Twin Towers and was amazed that it was design to withstand the impact of a plane.
Having had a career in the Construction Industry, I believe that all three towers at the WTC were brought down by controlled demolition.

I graduated high school in 1986 , I currently hold no professional license in anything , I am a single white male over 50 so my opinion doesn't matter much to the mainstream society we have nowadays , but I am glad and honored to sign this petition , I learned 3 years ago of the corruption concerning 9/11 and I've followed it ever since , I feel like I have a good idea who was behind it although I don't talk about it much because when I do people will want to change the subject they're not open-minded. Thank you for this opportunity and God bless you and God bless America.
I remember what I was doing the day it happened and I never thought of it being an inside job until about 3 years ago when I saw a documentary about it I now believe that a lot of politicians know about it and the wrong persons were blamed for it.

I have been working in the construction industry on and off since the mid 90's and I have witnessed enough controlled demolition to tell the difference between free fall due to controlled demolition and building collapse due to fire. The towers were designed to take a hit from the largest aircraft in the world like every other skyscraper in this country since before world war 2.

9/11 definitely was an inside job. Omaha really only has two major towers that my company services. We have been everywhere in them and with all the supports in a 'small' big city like Omaha. A plane alone could never cause the damage we all witnessed.
