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've been aware that the official account of 9/11 was false since before AE 9/11 Truth was founded, but for professional reasons I was unable to sign until now. My guess is that for every AE that signs there are at least ten that don't for the same reason as me. I have the utmost admiration and respect for Richard Gage and everyone engaged in this effort. The evidence of controlled demolition for all three World Trade Center towers is overwhelming. In contrast, the official explanation relies on assertions but no evidence. The failure of the United States to investigate 9/11, the crime of the century, has placed a stain of corruption on our nation. Those public officials who continue to block a legitimate investigation of the events of 9/11 are complicit in the crime. Only the truth can set us free and restore integrity to our nation and government.

The Grand Lie born out of the Grand American Strategy for the New American Century must once and for all be debunked, brought to light, and explained by physics and nothing else. The official story of the 9/11 and the WTC collapses violates all the known laws of physics. Period. We must all seek definitive and final proof. Nothing else will honor to the thousands of Americans who were killed on that day!

Given an even basic understanding of high school physics, it's painfully obvious that high rises do not suddenly pulverise mid-air; fire-protected structural steel will not melt when exposed briefly to a pool of burning jet fuel; and virtually undamaged office buildings built to code simply cannot collapse symmetrically at near-free fall speed due to a few limited fires. Clearly, the 9/11 tragedy was not a physics-defying Hollywood blockbuster, despite what the official narrative desperately would like us to believe. It was a real-world event, with real people perishing, and with untold suffering and damage as a direct consequence. We owe it to the victims of that fateful day to expose the nonsensical reasoning (or lack of reasoning) that makes up the bulk of the NIST 'investigation' -- we would merely have to let the evidence and the laws of nature speak for themselves, that's all.

Occupation: Engineer
I am a retired Major General, Army National Guard, and I have 38 years of work as a mechanical engineer with the department of Navy in the design of weapons, components, and transportation means. Lifting and handling was the basis for my experience in strength of materials and the analysis of failure therein. I'm degreed as a mechanical engineer, Louisiana Tech, 1962.
I have read numerous reports containing both calculations and science as well as opinions, watched numerous videos of interviews with experts, watched the collapse of all buildings more times than I can accurately state and there are many factors which simply do not fit the scenario. What I have read of the residual chemical evidence pointing to materials for which there is no logical explanation, other than that an explosives expert with unique access to materials was involved. Most importantly, perhaps, is the indisputable fact that all three buildings fell as in a controlled demolitions scenario. The fuel from the planes did not have enough energy to transfer to the massive central support beams and cause structural failure. Therefore, something else had to be in play to cause what we saw. Then in Building 7, it had no damage from a plane strike. What would have caused it to fall shortly after the owner's decision to 'pull it'? My view is that this is a false flag operation and the USA is up to it's eyeballs in it. I have not continuously followed this crime because it was clear from the beginning that it was being swept under the rug, but there were some very resourceful engineers who studied the rate of acceleration of the fall of the two towers and determined that there was insignificant deviation from free fall. Meaning that the towers did not take a detour and crash their way down one floor at a time, overcoming the strength of each floor, which equates to time, thus loosing that straight-line acceleration we would expect unless a number of floors were assisted by controlled demolition. And what about all that molten steel that was running like a small stream in the basement with traces of thermite in it?

Loose Change, (did not beleive it all at first in 2007) 9/11 Demolitions (This did it for me) Zeigeist confirmed it for me. Now, this AE911 site is truly well organized and at last getting some real credibility. So I have over 300 serious questions some at a high level Construction based query and some general questions relating to works and dealings that went on before the collapses. However many questions I may have does not give me faith in the system that was in place and predetermined to bring these asbestos laden buildings down and break every single record in the building and construction record books, my problem goes deeper. We knew about asbestos in the 60's. Why were these giant buildings ever allowed to be laden in asbestos at the time when we knew about cancerous fibers?

My work has involved design analysis, product development, problem solving, project management and customer liaison.
It has become clear to me that the official story, that describes the reasons for the 911 WTC building collapses, is fundamentally flawed. There are hundreds of gaping anomalies and unanswered questions. The most obvious question is how Building 7 collapsed. The much delayed explanation appears fraudulent. Similar very substantial issues remain with the Building 1 and 2 official reports. The most plausible explanation appears to be that of controlled demolition - for the destruction all three buildings. It is important that the truth is known - of what really happened. Most of all, this is owed to the families of the victims, who had to fight long and hard for the first official report - which was a dismal failure. A new investigation is needed imminently.

The official account of 9/11 is not credible. Steel does not melt in office furniture fires and airplane turbine engines don't vaporize. It would be like your BBQ grill melting if you put wood chips in it.

My knowledge of engineering principles tells me that the goverment's explanation for the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 is inconsistent with the observed speed and symmetry of the collapse of those buildings. If the government's explanation was valid it should have significant implications for building codes and the way we design and build high rise buildings. Yet virtually no changes have occurred in structural engineering codes since 9/11/01. I am upset that an NFPA 921 investigation was never done on these three buildings, nor a proper forensic investigation of the structural components of these three buildings.

Being that 9/11 is one of the most formative events of our lifetimes (socially, legally, geopolitically, etc.), it seems imperative that the truth of the events be known. The official story has entirely too many holes, inaccuracies, and contradictions, making the need to reevaluate it self-evident. The evidence on this website, and collected in many other locations across the globe, bears the mark of truth and deserves public recognition.

I graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering from BYU. I have studied heat transfer, kinematics, static and dynamic structures, as well as structures of materials. I currently work as a design engineer at a top aerospace engine manufacturer specializing in CAE tool development including finite element analysis.
I have an analytical as well as gut-level feel for how structures should behave under loads. WTC1 and 2 buildings were designed with redundant load bearing members for the explicit purpose to be able to absorb impacts from airliners as this was one of many design considerations at the time. The buildings should each have remained intact for longer than was witnessed below their impact zones - if a dynamic failure were to occure with upper levels impacting the lower levels, each structural framework in each floor below would offer some resistance, significantly slowing the speed of collapse compared against a free-falling body. The rapid speed of descent as seen in footage indicates no resistance in the members meaning something more was going on in the levels below the impact and fires. The clouds of pulvarized concrete billowing out during the collapse also raises flags. The amount of the dust generated is extreme and its pyroclastic behaivor indicates it had been superheated which is not readily explained in a simple collapse scenario. When I first saw the collapse of the towers on September 11, I was just out of high school and had basically no engineering background. In my journal that day I noted how it looked like the buildings were being demolished like the old casinos in Las Vegas. Concerning the complete casino-style collapse of Building 7, this was simply overt and is beyond suspicious. I hadn't seen the videos of Building 7 until several years later, but anyone who watches these videos is hard-pressed to explain the complete symmetrical collapse of the building with the top descending at near free-fall speed as a result of fires only.

My wife and I were horrified as we watched the live news reports of that day, particularly when we saw the second plane hit Tower 2. Over the next few days I continued to watch video replays of Twin Towers 1 & 2 and could not comprehend how both towers could collapse as they did. As a Structural Engineer, it made no sense to me how the structural framing system below the impact level did not continue to support the structure. It was only in the last few weeks, as I researched and found this site, that I found out that building 7 had also collapsed. I agree that it has the classic signs of a controlled demolition. Thanks to all of you who created this site. I am proud to be part of the cause to get congress to conduct a full investigation.

Also responsible for checking drawings and design calculations done by other engineers. Some of the projects can be seen at my firm home page.
In the case of Building 7 I'm very confident that there was a true and very well studied implosion, demolishing the building so that it collapses straight down into its own footprint (the total area at the base of the building). This feat requires such skill that only few and very experienced demolition experts in the world will attempt it. Among other evidences, the way and time of the building collapse indicates a previous study of the building structure. The motion during the fall was almost vertical and therefore cannot be by hazard, or even caused by a fire, because all supports must be cutted at the same time, or in a specific way that the columns at the center of the building are cutted before the other columns so that the building's sides fall inward.

I believe that we have not been told the whole truth about the skyscrappers destruction. Evidence collected on that day clearly point toward some kind of controlled demolition in addition to the plane crashes.The explanations that have been given by governement officials do not explain what can be observed on the video fottage collected on 9/11. Somethings have not been told, information is being kept from the public.

It is my view that a truly independent investigation about the episodes concerning the collapses of the WTC buildings is required. The official 9/11 Commission Report does not provide a satisfactory analysis: it has omitted evidences and its argumentation scheme has strong value assumptions and ambiguities that make its conclusion not acceptable from my critical thinking perspective.

I have been a consulting engineer for 20 years. My main area of expertise is in land development and infrastructure design. I have had some limited exposure to structural design of bridges and small structures.
As an engineer it is hard to refute the evidence that this appears to have been a controlled demolition. It seems to me that there were just too many things that had to occur at exactly the same time for the collapse to have occurred solely from a plane hit.

I don't believe that the three buildings came down as a result of fires. They were steel buildings, and, from what I have read, jet fuel does not burn hot enough to burn steel. Also, the free-fall of the buildings appear to be that of a controlled demolition, not due to fires. The buildings came down so fast, and without stopping at each floor level, which doesn't seem possible, unless the columns were pulled out, as would have been done to start a controlled demolition.

It wasn't until 2009 that I came across issues related to Tower 7. Prior to that, I barely even recalled that there was a third structure that collapsed that day. I have not been involved in a tower demolition yet, however I've built enough concrete, steel and composite high-rise buildings, from planning and design to ground-breaking through hand-over, to understand and appreciate methods needed to bring a building down in a matter of seconds. I am mostly interested in finding out how and when the towers were prepared for such a demolition as that activity alone is 1.) is extensive and time-consuming, and 2.) on its own, enough to substantially weaken the buildings and render them unfit for occupancy. I am convinced that the official story is indeed untrue and an independent investigation is warranted and appropriate.

The core column for the twin towers was a combination of massive steel rods and cement and were amongst the strongest steel columns in the world. A fire in open air could potentially have weakened the steel in the column at a single point on the 100-sotry buildings, although this is highly unlikely given the steel melting point is much higher than a fire by kerosene in open air. But the cement in the column would still have sustained the building upwards. The problem is the column could have flexed and broken at that point, but the building would have fallen sideways. The floors below were designed to sustain 10 times the weight of all floors above at full capacity. The only way the column could have collapsed upon itself is if it was brought to malleability from top to bottom simultaneously, including the skeleton structural steel rods. But this was not the case. And even if it was, all the floors, walls, and other structural components would have created resistance and the collapse would have been slow. What the evidence shows is that they collapse at free fall speed minus air resistance. This is only achievable in a controlled demolition which removes the matter with explosives before the above floors reach the ones below. This is not to mention building 7. You don`t need expertise to break that one down.

The scientific evidence seems overwhelming this appears to be a controlled demolition. Why is our government not investigating this?

The laws of physics also apply on 9/11. The way WTC1, WTC2 and Building 7 collapsed cannot be explained by just the impact of planes and fires. The video footage available (showing almost freefall) and other evidence clearly points to controlled demolition, a hypothesis that should be thoroughly investigated. The symmetrical nature and large portion of freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

#NAME?
Because of the implausibility of the official theory, the eyewitnesses and the evidence on file have to be investigated by a real and independent commission.
