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.

I hold a Master of Architecture degree from SUNY Buffalo, 1991. I have worked in almost every city in NY, I have been licensed 24 years doing a variety of work from residential to industrial. My favorite project is a clock tower I did on the Robert Wesleyan College Campus.
I was on the phone with another architect on 9/11. We both noted the flashes on the floors below the collapsing floor when the towers came down. The news anchors or commentators said something about it but were quickly told that those flashes were electrical transformers on each floor being overloaded and it was not brought up again... 2 years later I was involved in demolishing 6 buildings in Kodak Park. I realized it was like watching 9/11 all over again. I have no doubt that WTC was controlled demolition. If the mast was not controlled it would have been a sideways fall killing 10,000 more. After one of our projects failed to demo correctly...low bidder...I can tell you the WTC jobs were very professionally done. So tragic. I tell everyone. Great work you are doing.

9/11 forever changed my life. I lived in Florida at the time and 2 months after it happened, flew to NYC simply because I felt I had to show respect and share the grief and somehow let others know strangers out in the world cared. 7 yrs. later, I quit work, sold my home, left Florida and moved to New York. There is a feeling here that cannot be described. Something in the eyes when you look at someone else walking the streets of the city ......... I am a charter member of the 9/11 memorial org.

There are hundreds of additional facts that contradict the official story of 9/11. It is time for a truly independent investigation that addresses all the questions asked by the citizens. - - 9/11 was one of the most pivotal events in world history. Its impact will be felt for years to come. We owe it to ourselves to go beyond the sound bites and the simplified official story. This is an extremely complicated story with numerous players and motives. The 9/11 time line facts don't all make sense or fit neatly together. It's a story full of espionage, deceit, and lies. But if there are forces out there tricking us, they can only succeed if we, the general public, remain ignorant and passive.

The official stories are just impossible to believe, the exact same failure/collapse on three buildings, only two having been even struck/damaged. Falling in free fall into their own footprint (path of greatest resistance!). In fact, in Structural Engineering classes at Montana State, the scenario of an airliner hitting one of the WTC Towers was actually studied, (and determined to be safe). The professor discussed that this scenario was actually considered in the design of the towers, and they were designed to withstand it.

I received a BS in Civil Engineering from a four year accredited university in 1986. I became a licensed Civil Engineer in the State of California in 1991. I have worked in several fields of civil engineering including structural design.
The Official story does not appear to be supported by the evidence. It would appear much more likely that demolition brought down the twin towers and building 7 than the burning jet fuel. The fact that the floors and columns came down so fast and in the same footprint along with the chemical analysis of the molten metal indicate the buildings were very likely brought down by controlled demolition. A through investigation by independent engineers, architects, and explosives experts is necessary for the truth to be known about what actually happened on 9/11/2001.

Jennifer Lynne Seeley is an artist passionate about focusing on overall truth without ego. I am also an actual living relative of Albert Einstein which inspires me to consider how we can truly make the world a better place for all people globally. I believe that starts with facing the truth and focusing on protecting our environment (aka our water, shelter and food supplies).
I inherently knew it was a set up from the moment I saw it. If we took all the dialogue from the Bush Administration and run it through a database, I would guess a large number of FEAR-based words would come up followed by a large number of Patriotic misleading terms that label anybody who disagrees as a Terrorists. Bush and all who knew and helped create this are the only real TERRORISTS. Our country owes the Middle Eastern countries an apology as well as our fellow dead Americans and honest fire fighters.

There are way too many unanswered questions, not the least of which is: how the hell did building 7 completely collapse neatly into its foundation with only a few fires burning on a few floors? And why was the debris which contained all of the forensic evidence hauled off and gotten rid of before independent investigation teams could do any analysis?

Currently he is serving as a Program Manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District located in Wiesbaden Germany and Forward assigned to DoDDSEA to work the MILCON program for the school system.
A formal investigation should be conducted to address what appears to be NIST report that is flawed and we need to know the truth. The collapse does not make sense even with the extent of jet fuel brought into the structure by the jet aircraft and the findings of thermite are suspect. I would have re-built all the buildings just as they were before 9/11.

My technical experience has been in IT as well as civil design. After graduating from Vanderbilt in 1999, I found myself working NYC a few blocks from the WTC. After the tragedy, I moved to FL and started doing civil design work.
There are 2 things that bother me about 9/11. The first is the fact that I bore witness to in the path train station under the two towers. I took the path train in that morning and arrived around the time the first plane hit the north tower. There was smoke in the station. How did it get there? The station was at least 4 to 5 levels below ground level. The second is building 7. It is physically impossible for a building to fall at free fall speed without some sort of assistance. This means that something must have been in the building to remove the objects from below the falling debris. This needs further investigation and the 9/11 commission failed to address this issue in their report.

The debris from the scene is far too small. The core of the structure should be found in large pieces. An investigation for a catastrophe of this size should consider all hypothesis and carried out by an independent, well funded team. The consequences effect all people in the world.

A lifelong interest in audio and acoustics led me to study both engineering (receiving a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering) and science (receiving a Masters in Mechanics, the physics of moving bodies). My Ph.D. research involved sound localization. so I have also studied various aspects of human perception and psychology.
The witness accounts of explosions and the official explanation of these sounds in the NIST report are impossible to reconcile. Justice demands an open commission inquiry into the numerous inconsistencies between documented facts and official explanations.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering, a B.S. in Engineering Physics. My emphasis has been on the seismic retrofit of existing structures for masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.
Buildings with localized damage to vertical structural elements (columns) cannot collapse globally and in a uniform fashion. This is a physical impossibility never once observed prior to 9/11/2001. Steel is a ductile material (it flexes, deforms, stretches, large amounts before fracture). In the case of all three WTC towers, ductile behavior is not observed. We see no large deformations of the columns prior to collapse. Instead, we observe sudden, catastrophic failure. No energy is dissipated through deformation. A free-fall collapse. Impossible in a structure where columns are not hinged (i.e. severed at the floors).

The collapses of all buildings appear to be controlled demolitions, particularly building 7, which was not impacted by a plane, did not catch fire, and was not otherwise compromised by heat damage. It was merely hit by falling debris, yet it collapsed, pancaking one level upon another. In comparison to other buildings which have toppled due to outside factors, one simply does not see the pancaking seen in the demolition of the WTC buildings. The official story is bunk!

It is an absolute scientific certainty that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were destroyed by energetic material (i.e. explosives) in a controlled demolition: all three buildings came down at nearly free fall acceleration, meaning that the gravitational potential energy from the weight of the buildings was entirely converted in kinetic energy. So the energy that pulverised all the concrete and cut all the steel beams and columns in mid-air necessarily had to come from something else. Only explosives can release that much energy in such a short time. Furthermore, the unnatural symmetry of the collapses requires a very accurate timing => it was a controlled demolition.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in biomedical engineering, and have worked for years in the biotech industry with nano/micro scale materials. I am reasonably familiar with various characterization techniques used in imaging (SEM, TEM, AFM) and chemical/solid state analysis (DSC, XEDS, etc.).
The video evidence suggesting controlled demolition is very persuasive. Further, I am a biomedical engineer with familiarity with the characterization techniques used in documenting the existence of nanothermite. Although the video analysis is persuasive, I think more independent studies of the tangible forensic evidence would be very helpful to the cause.

I chose to graduate in electrical engineering. I loved statics and dynamics and have learned to love chemistry as well. I learn science as a passion. After playing poker for a living over 7 years now, another passion of mine is learning about people; how they develop to be who they are, and how we interact with each other.
As a professional poker (think casino, not clicking a mouse) player, I know how to read people well. I think it's safe to say that most of the people in the Bush White house, as well as the leaders of NIST and the 9/11 Commision Report, are lying to us about what they know, or chose to not look into. I have seen lists of 15 items long of evidences of explosive, controlled demolition. For those guys to say they say NO evidence, and didn't even consider it an option, they are obviously lying. As a lover of science, I agree with all of the points made by Richard Gage and AE911truth.org I have pledged to be more influential in spreading this news to my friends for them to spread.

Clearly, the building steel and contents were pulverized/shattered by a powerful shock-wave which resulted form a detonation designed for such. This happens naturally in volcanic explosions, where granite is also pulverized into ash. The connection is very clear. Somebody developed the technology to harness this effect. Must be very classified.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

I believe the truth will set you free, and taking action toward that goal is a right that people should take into consideration.
I believe that the buildings were set up for collapse by other means. The building 7 collapse is just the fatal piece of evidence that could have being found in US soil to prove it. The way the buildings collapses is a perfect scenario of demolition procedures that can be seen perfectly clearly with no structural education required. I mean that with simple logic you can state that it is impossible for a structure to fall the way it did without other means. Investigation of these acts has taken too long and fallen on deaf ears ... it is time for the people to stand and demand it...

I have designed many large structural projects over a 40 year span including such projects as a one million square foot industrial plant, largest oil and gas drilling rig capable of drilling to 25,000 feet below surface, and the largest freestanding steel cross standing 19 stories and weighing 2.5 million pounds (to name a few).
Engineering is the only exact science in the world -- we know how to erect structures and how to demolish them also. We do not practice engineering as the law and medical professions do. Without a DOUBT, these structures failed from a deliberate controlled demolition effort. There is not a tall slender structure anywhere that would fail in a symmetrical footprint mode like the 3 towers did unless it was designed to do so. Jet fuel combustion temperature would not even get close to the temps required to bring down the core columns of those structures (ASTM E-119 steel).

The question is all about investigation techniques: Look at the facts of the WTC, specifically Tower 7, collapses: 1) Terrorists used explosives on WTC 1 in 1993. 2) Over 118 first responders reported hearing explosions before all 3 collapses, many said it sounded like the 'bang-bang-bang' you hear during a demolition. 3) We have video, photographic and audio evidence of explosions after the impact and before collapse. 4) Live news was reporting multiple explosions, and the possibility terrorists also planted explosives. 5) Barry Jennings, the Emergency Coordinator for the NY Housing Authority reported explosions in Tower 7. He also reported being knocked down by explosions prior to the collapse of the tower. 6) Molten steel AND concrete were found at Ground Zero 'remember, hydrocarbon fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel or concrete.'N.F.P.A. 921- 19.2.4 Exotic Accelerants states that molten steel and concrete could indicate the use of exotic accelerrants, specifically Thermite. 7) WTC 7 was the first concrete and steel high rise to collapse during a fire that had not been struck by an aircraft. It was determined not to be significantly damaged by the falling debris, and diesel fuel tanks DID NOT contribute significantly to the fire (according to NIST final report 2008). So, with all these indicators, would you test for exotic accelerants/explosive residue/Thermite? How could you confirm or rule out the possibility that terrorists planted explosives in addition to the aircraft hits? Why does N.I.S.T. REFUSE to this day to test for exotic accelerrants in the most heinous crime in U.S. history? With the first high rise building collapses in history, why would N.I.S.T. NOT test for accelerants? Especially, with so many indicators, one in which we have lost so many lives, so many Brothers, so many Freedoms, and our Economy. I have not found a single fire investigator who can give a reason other than they didn't want to find exotic accelerants or they were incompetent! Well, if it was incompetence, we can go back and still test. If you can't answer why, then please take the time to investigate. Browse our website, and please sign the petition. Our communities trust us. If we let them know this is not how professionals investigate, or how we treat our Brothers and Sisters who gave so much, they will listen.

If WTC7 were to have fallen due to a fire you would see each column collapse, setting up a chain reaction that would pull the others down with it. Instead what we see is a simultaneous collapse of the entire structure at free fall speed.

From day one, I did not believe that the fires could bring down those huge buildings. (WTC 1,2 and 7) It's very clear that they were destroyed on purpose. In the end, science and evidence can not be ignored.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

The WTC collapse being caused by planes is ridiculous! In the 1st semester of studies I learned about steel behaviour due to any influences, so it's really easy to discard the official explanation of fire being the cause.

I am a structural engineer with over 26 years of experience designing concrete and steel structures.
It is an absolute impossibility for one skyscraper to collapse within its own footprint, especially within a dense major city, without the assistance of man... let alone three independent skyscrapers on the same day.

I am a retired Engineer. I have a BS and MS in Civil Engineering and a PhD in Engineering Mechanics. I have worked as a structural analyst in the offshore oil industry and as a viscoelastic materials expert working on the redesign of the Solid Rocket Boosters following the Challenger disaster. I have also been on the engineering faculties of the University of Illinois (1967-1970) and Mississippi State University (1970-1980).
It is utterly impossible for a modern, properly designed high-rise building to collapse due to localized fires of only a few hours duration. Steel buildings are required to have fireproofing material on all structural members which is designed to prevent the steel from experiencing severely high temperatures for many hours. I believe that a thorough finite-element analysis of all of the WTC buildings (pretty expensive analysis which I do not have the money or computer facilities to undertake) would demonstrate that no reasonable scenario would cause WTC7 to collapse symmetrically except the simultaneous failure of all columns as in a controlled demolition.

I became familiar with steel structures as a draftsman for Kerr McGee designing offshore drilling rigs from 1979-82. After spending 3.5 years to earn a BS mechanical engineering degree at the University of Oklahoma in 1985, the oil industry was in a deep recession. The next couple of years were spent developing and designing robots and industrial manipulator arms. 1988-90 were interesting years at Rockwell Rocketdyne developing rocket engine systems for Star Wars. Since 1990 the technical challenge of electrical submersible pumping systems for the oil industry has been my profession. Currently as Principal Engineer at Baker Hughes International I mentor young engineers and serve as a technical adviser for a wide range of system and mechanical challenges for the BHI Centrilift products.
The case made in these documentaries is virtually 100% against the official record and points to some very disturbing likely possibilities. A proper investigation is needed before some very dark elements in our government are able to deliver us all the way down the road to serfdom.

From the day it happened, the WTC Building 7 collapse looked suspicious. Seeing the collapse for the first time seemed surreal and caused me to wonder how this building could possibly collapse and come straight down. There didn't seem to be sufficient damage to WTC Building 7 for it to collapse especially when considering that the entire building came down virtually within its own foot print. Therefore, if this was a planned demolition, then there is suspicion cast on the events of 9/11.

Studying electrical engineering with strong background in physics and classical dynamics. Class of 2012. Very mechanically minded and intuitive. Strong attention to detail.
When I was a child of 12 even I was shocked and strongly confused that the buildings fell and that they did so in a fashion that resembles a C.D., exactly. When 7 fell my ultimatum was if unexplained, it was a C.D.. When I came across thermite and saw a video of it burning through an iron engine block within a second, it became clear how it could be done.

The pictures of the WTC buildings falling straight down at almost free-fall speed make it hard for me to believe two airplanes were the sole cause of failure. This is especially true of Building 7.

There is no way that building 7 could have collapsed due the the light fire damage it sustained from the other buildings, the eye witness testimony also points to this fact. All building collapses defy the laws of physics - energy is needed to pulverize the concrete, thus if explosives were not used then you would expect to see the buildings as they fell. The buildings also collapsed through the path of greatest resistance.
