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 have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. I managed large gun programs for the military. I have experience in root cause analyses when the unanticipated occurs.
Here is my synopsis of the situation: 1. The 3 World Trade Center buildings that collapsed were designed to withstand commercial jet impact and the subsequent fire. Unless the design margins were compromised, they should not have collapsed. 2. If the design margins were compromised, and they were reason for the collapse, the buildings would still not have collapsed in the extremely controlled fashion that was observed. Thus, design margin does not appear to be the cause of the collapses. 3. In searching for a plausible cause, the evidence first pointed to explosives. Evidence of explosions was provided by the numerous people that reported hearing them, by the evidence of high velocity radial trajectories of debris, and by the degree to which the debris field was pulverized. 4. The evidence then pointed to demolition-class explosives. Evidence of demolition-class explosives was provided by people seeing molten steel in a fire that should have been at least 1000 F below steel's melting point, by the debris field being permeated by bb-sized steel-based spheres that shouldn't have been 'vaporized', by the presence of elements unique to a demolition-class explosive in the debris field, and by the fact that all 3 buildings 'free fell' to the ground as if their infrastructure had suddenly disappeared (as is typical of demolition). 5. The evidence finally pointed to the use of military-grade demolition-class explosives. 6. If the conclusions from this evidence prove true, and to date they have not been refuted, the group of people responsible for the destruction of the WTC buildings remain at large, and the threat that destroyed the WTC buildings remains. 7. Unfortunately, the official root cause report does not account for the use of explosives at all. 8. For the United States to hold its own in a rough world, the reality of the situation must be irrefutably determined, and appropriate corrective actions taken. The current official report may be right, incompetent, or a cover-up. If the current official report does not withstand challenge, and the demolition claim stands, corrective actions must be taken against the people responsible, as well as the people that authored the root cause report, either for incompetence or for a willful cover-up. To do otherwise is to encourage a repeat performance.

I wrote a simulation of the towers collapse and convinced myself that the laws of conservation of momentum would not allow the buildings to collapse in the manner described, and that the only alternative that I could ascertain was that the buldings required charges to fall with the speed observed.

Sydney, NSW, Australia
Graduated B. Civ Eng at UNSW with 1st Class Honors, majoring in Geo technical Engineering. 2 yrs experience with geo tech consultancy in sydney, followed by a 2 yr contract involving quality control and technical support for earthworks at a major green fields mine construction project in New Caledonia. Work areas have included, building foundations, road pavements, dams, drilling investigation, slope stability analysis and construction supervision of rock and soil cuttings.
The collapse mechanism / sequence of all three buildings is of great interest considering that the official 'story' is that the superstructure of each of the buildings was damaged principally by fire and the in the case of the twin towers also in part by plane impact. In my opinion, as a professional engineer, these factors could only act to weaken the structures asymmetrically, which in turn would lead to asymmetric failure modes - ie at least some signs of toppling which when initiated would continue. Instead, the extensive footage from the day shows a complete, symmetrical drop in all three cases. This lack of asymmetry in all three failures coupled with the rate of failure (comparable to gravitational acceleration) suggest that the entire superstructure of all three buildings ceased to bear load almost instantaneously. From my knowledge of the US government reports, these issues are in no way dealt with. Other explanations, such as the possible role of pre-placed explosives, must be considered, as the official version is inadequate. In particular, the failure of Building 7 so closely resembles that of a controlled demolition it is extremely difficult for me simply accept that a number of fires within the building was the sole cause of it's collapse. The evidence presented by the remains of the collapsed buildings also requires careful consideration. The abundance of pulverized concrete and segmented steel beams /columns resulting from all three collapses is of particular interest. As a qualified engineer these are the principal issues which are of interest to me when considering the validity of the official explanation of the WTC collapses.

No building is designed to collapse like the twin towers, and that side building which wasn't even hit. The Oklahoma bombing destroyed more then half the building and it was still standing afterward. 911 seems like a Wall Street self-destruction plan with the approval of the government.

Studied electrical engineering at TU-Ilmenau, finishing in 1999. Following, scientific assistant at University Department of Engineering Mechanics at TU-Ilmenau. Since 2002, worked in own engineering company.
If a building is falling down with nearly acceleration of free fall, the resistance of the mechanical structure had to be nearly zero. The sudden disappearance of nearly all stability in the structure of the WTC buildings can neither be explained by planes destroying some floors, nor be explained by fire damage. So the official explanation is in opposition to basic physical laws. It has to be wrong. We need a new report based on a new investigation.

I was in state MA (USA) at 9/11 2001. Everybody was scared what happened. Lot of rumors like - how come that army jets did not attack those aircraft's before hitting WTC. I believed also that Al Qaida and their boss arranged it. a Year after, heard that a suspicious few number of people came to work at 9/11 2001 in WTC. I was still convinced that Terrorist does all the evil. Until I watched speech of Richard Gage and he technically proved that WTC was brought down by controlled demolition. After that I watched movie form Aaron Russo, I watched Zeitgeist where were also mentioned how those buildings fell down.

9/11 happened when I was just 8 years old. I am 29 now and have seen the world change so much in the wrong direction since the fall of the towers. I have always suspected foul play. In a country as great as America, stupidity like this doesn't just get slipped under our noses. So I'm signing this from a patriotic point of motivation.

I also have a BA in Art History and a 2 yr. degree in professional food service. I gave private cooking lessons and have consulted with companies on food service management. Was employed by Neiman Marcus as a management trainee and salesperson.
I have been researching the events of 9/11 ever since it happened to get to the truth. I think it was an inside job with foreign help. The people responsible for these deadly attacks on our country should be exposed as criminals and traitors. The guilty parties should be tried for their crimes in a court of law and given appropriate sentences. They should be held financially liable as well. This nation deserves to know the truth about 9/11.

Americans and the world deserve to know the truth of what happened. We must return to a place where our government and media can be trusted to not misguide us into wars that are not justified and only represent some kind of profit or advantage to a few citizens or power to others outside of our country.

I'm a seventy-one yr. old mother of three grown children. I attended college for a while, but lost interest in continuing. I've traveled some, and became a bronze sculptor, which is still my passion.
I just have a question. Can a pyroclastic flow occur only in an explosion? Isn't that what happened on 9/11? Surely that can't be so hard to prove. The way cars parked on the street were fried and things were melted and fused together, The molton steel etc. Anyone should be able to see that A pancaking highrise can't produce these effects.
