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.

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.

Materials science, heat transfer, thermodynamics I & II, fluid mechanics, physics I & II and reaction engineering: these courses provided me the necessary training to understand the deficiencies in the original 9/11 story. Of course, anybody that has reviewed the evidence can see the problems with WTC 7's collapse. With regard to the twin towers, their construction, i.e. the steel vertical columns making up the center core of the buildings, provides the most irrefutable evidence against the pancake effect promoted by NIST in the official report.

Occupation: Senior Engineer
I graduated from Bergen University College in 1990 as a building engineer. I studied subjects like: Steel structures, Concrete structures, General dimensioning and structural analysis, Wooden structures, Housing construction, Road construction and design, Water supply, sewage and waste management, and also other subjects, including of course university level mathematics, physics, and characteristics of structural building materials.Since graduation, I have worked for some time with general road design, but mainly with planning and design of public transport systems, facilities for bus systems and terminals, and I have extensive experience in designing Light Rail systems.
The way the twin towers collapsed is not consistent with general knowledge of steel and concrete structures. If a building were to collapse, the rubble would have been multiple layers of concrete floors on the ground, not an enormous cloud of pulverized concrete dust. The tremendous dimensions, and thus strength of the steel columns used in this structure, is sufficient to hold three or four times the actual weight of the structure. There is no way these would either bend nor break in a collapse under normal circumstances. To do this, they had to be subject to very large and rapid quantities of energy (heat), throughout the whole vertical structure, almost simultaneously. As is the case in a controlled and carefully orchestrated demolition.

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 have a Masters in Civil Engineering and a keen interest in Structural Engineering (not that that is needed to question the official story!). I have questioned the reports on 9/11 for many years now and am aware of all the evidence against the theory. I am hoping to get actively involved with the group by using these skills and spreading the message.
I have watched all the evidence and believe there is no physically possible way for three buildings to fall in this way unless it was controlled demolition. Fact. There's not much else to it.

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.

I was shocked to learn that Bldg.7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Investigation Report, as it is in my mind the key event in questioning all of the happenings on 9/11. But when few people even know that the building existed, it is difficult to discuss with them what happened to it and how it relates to the overall picture.

I am so saddened by the though that our Government could be responsibility for this. We need to know who is guilty of planning and excruciating this dark page in American history.
Regardless of what the official stands is, you have show a little more then a reasonable doubt We as need to find the truth in this matter, not matter where it leads.

For 2000 years one group of people have understood that the book of life is your subconscious acceptance.
The collapse of buildings is a mathematical impossibility and can be proven from using acceleration formula minus the resistance - If the resistance is worked out and then presented back to the structure it would prove that the building could never have stood up in the first place. The Truth is what will set us all free and political truth at war with scientists in the UK has just made a fatal mistake.

I have never thought that the stories offered by mainstream media matched up. I recently watched a debate between some 9/11 conspiracy theorists and some well-informed journalists. The conspiracy theorists could mention by name the individuals who they got their inspiration from, but the journalists only referred to their nebulous cloud of unnamed experts whom they had previously spoken to. There needs to be a thorough and legitimate investigation in this matter.

I am most interested in WHY the buildings collapsed due to fire alone. A serious investigation is needed to determine what happened and what we can do to prevent it from happening again. There are serious questions that have not been adequately addressed by the official reports.

I fail to see how three steel structures all can collapse at the same day from fire when that never before in history have happened. Fire should only under optimal circumstances be able to heat steel to a temperature of 1000 degrees. Steel melt at 1500 degrees. Melted steel were in fact found in high amounts on the ground or pits. How can this come? Also I demand an explanation about British news channel BBC live sending saying that World Trade Center building 7 had collapsed when it actually didn't collapse until about 20 minutes after they first mentioned it. From where did they get this information?

If I can get a few people involved on 9/11 truth every time we play, I've done my part. I do not believe in our government's explanation on the events of 9/11 only because when a single murder happens in the states the local authorities or the FBI and agents take about 6 months to 1 year or even many years sometimes to prove their case by gathering the proper amount of evidence to present their case. Our government knew the whole story from the get go on the same day that 3 towers came down. They even knew who did it and had identified them through their passports surviving in these building bomb explosions. Their suspicious behavior raised a lot of questions, which they refused to answer or they dodged the questions. Knowing how much money Dick Cheney's Halliburton company started to profit since the war began it even raises more suspicion. There are many different politics behind 9/11 occasion that we do not know and we will never know until we have an honest scientific investigation done.
9/11 event was purely done to take complete control of the United States government. These people who were behind the attacks do not wear rags on their heads nor do they scream allah o akbar. The real terrorist are here in our country and they wear $5,000.00 suites and run our highest governmental offices. The individual who sit on the presidential spot is mainly selected by the bankers such as the privet Federal Reserve Bank and the central bankers of the world to carry out their banking agendas by enslaving people with more taxation and communistic laws such as the patriot act.

I have read and studied this issue for several years, relying on information provided by technical experts, first responders, and other eyewitness accounts. The sheer volume of unanswered questions warrants a thorough, nonpartisan investigation of the events as they occurred in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., as well as the antecedents of those events.

In addition to all the physical evidence, there was even a news video taken at the time of these tragic events of an interview with Larry Silverstein, who stated clearly that they decided to pull the building [#7]. Is this yet another inconvenient truth that Congress wants to avoid?

Just an average guy leading an average life. The older brother to Sam and Emily - awesome people, and have a lovely partner in Lauren. Very much into 9/11 truth and the quest for justice, as well as just being a good friend, partner and brother. Was lucky to meet and sit with Richard Gage at the Hard Evidence tour down under in Nov 2009 in Sydney AUSTRALIA and he's an awesome person and true patriot. The event was excellent.
Had the Government showed footage of a proven controlled demolition on nationwide television and said that fire caused the collapse, not one person on planet earth would believe them. So why do they believe the 3 WTC buildings collapsed this way? Wake up people, research the HARD EVIDENCE and have your eyes opened to the biggest lie EVER perpetrated against mankind.
