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 been working for ten years in software development. I'm mainly concerned with electronic signature, ciphering, time stamping functions, and PKIs.
I 'm still unable to find any explanation in the official commission reports that stands...I've just read the NIST, NCSTAR report for public comment pdf for the WTC7 collapse explanation, but there's almost no point about the time to collapse! F.R. Greening report about WTC 1 and 2 seems very well informed but doesn't take into account that the top of north tower lean while falling: that's completely missing in his calculations...whereas it obviously should have had a great importance to calculate the developed strengths in his pancake collapsing theory...but that simply can't be the truth because it's obvious to me that the leaning should have increased unless another strength was applied.

It is obvious to me that the planes did not bring down those three skyscrapers on 9/11/2001. An independent, public investigation must be conducted to allow the truth to be known so justice and strengthening of America can follow. There is a high probability the U.S. attacked innocent people due to this sophisticated False Flag Operation. As a 30-year military veteran, I am committed to doing everything possible to restore truth and justice for the American people.

I have been involved in engineering and construction for 38 years. I had worked for the Defense Department for 8 years and held two secret clearances, and I had worked on the space program for four years. I come from a military/law enforcement family background, and I have always questioned the cover-ups involving the assassinations of the 1960's. I teach at the college level now. I went down the the pile to try and find a policeman friend who perished in the collapse of the south tower. We never found him. I also went to five firefighter funerals. In total, I lost 7 friends in the towers - 6 NYFD and one NYPD.
With my Defense Department background, I kept wondering where our fighter jet response was that morning of September the 11th. I also immediately suspected that there was something amiss due to the speed and the manner in which the two towers collapsed. As I watched them fall, my mind said: Does not compute... Furthermore, when the Pentagon got hit, it did not make sense to me due to it being the most heavily fortified building on earth. When Building 7 collapsed, I was then finally convinced that there was definitely subversion occurring...

Watching the WTC twin towers destruction, live on television, I was of course shocked thinking of the lives that were lost at that moment. I also thought that the engineers that constructed the building must have made a terrible structural error. Two months ago I saw a video of WTC 7 for the first time from the events on 9/11/2001, and I got an awful feeling. I realized immediately that I was watching a preplanned destruction of the building. What was shown was simply not something that a terrorist organization could accomplish. The only organization that had the sophistication to pull off what happened on 9/11 are sitting in the White House in Washington D.C. This compelled me to search on the internet to learn more about the events surrounding 9/11. It is too obvious that the facts presented by ae9/11truth.org and 911truth.org are a frightening reality that one day, all of us must accept. The question to answer now is; what can I do about it? As an individual there is little I can do, especially when the Congress of the United States are somehow controlled and manipulated. As a member of a group, we may be able to take action that will save the United States of America from a future far away from peace, freedom, and democracy.

Based upon observation of debris field, smoke patterns, lack of standing columns, presence of bent columns with no visible stress fractures, photos of column remains indicating use of linear explosives, as well as lack of historical evidence of steel buildings of this nature collapsing from fire, it appears highly improbable that not one, not two, but three steel towers collapsed from fire within several hours of each other.

I have studied the collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7 for a while now and have come to the conclusion that they were brought down in a controlled demolition. The theory that it collapsed from damage and fire violates several laws of physics. The two most important being the Law of Conservation of Momentum and the law of Angular Momentum. Building 7 was a classic example of a controlled demolition. The fact the Building 7 was never mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report is alarming. We need a new investigation into the events of 9/11.

I am a 40 year old patriot. Grandfather served in WWII. Father was a civil servant for more than 20 years. I am former military. Business owner. Concerned citizen.
It was apparent to me at 9:15 a.m. or so that this was false flag. I asked a physics professor from Russia if the physics were normal for a building collapse. She said, They couldn't.. and stopped talking to me. I am not a science major, but it was evident to me from the get go that it was controlled demolition. Pulverized cement that was combined with hardened steel removed from its place and plop, right into the foot print. Controlled demolition, right Dan? I was not a popular person for a few years. No one wanted to hear me out. Spoke out against the president, W., I did. Don't go to war. Don't believe the story the bush administration tells you about Bin Laden or Iraq. Outcast. The laws of Physics ceased to exist on 9/11. Jet fuel, and aluminum hit concrete and steel but the three of the most well engineered buildings in Manhattan free fall into their footprint. I make model airplanes out of aluminum and smash them into my refrigerator to demonstrate the absurdity. Your approach is better. In order for the buildings top sections to fall at free fall speed, the under structure would have to be removed. The demolition's planners would have to get access for extended periods of time to critical points of structural engineering with the proper materials and expertise without being discovered. Who can pull that off? Count them on my fingers and toes. Residues and structural indicators would have to be rushed away before any analysis could be verified, and let the first responders in to eventually die from toxicity. Aren't those criminal acts? But science found what evidence was left behind. Strong indications and evidence of thermite, then nano thermite, which further narrows down the suspects to one hand. You have put the science together in a convincing manner. I believe that if the science side stays strong in their mission, that the social impact will continue to grow.

It is my unreserved opinion based on my years of working in structural steel that the 9/11 collapses could not possibly have occurred as the government investigations have put forth. American Airlines itself is the source for information that AA Flights 11 (North Tower) and 77 {Pentagon} did not fly on 9/11. These flights are critical to the government's crumbling cover up! Without those flights, Bush and his murderous co-conspirators will have to revise the big lie.

I believe that 2 inexperienced pilots, would not have been able to redirect the plane flight path to hit the Buildings as it was done. The aircraft Black Boxes were retrieved, but are hidden. Their content was sensored. I am not interested in theories. Just facts. Also, I wish to know why the burning of the steel structure was at a higher temperature than that of cumbusted kerosine. Why was the the structural steel removed and recycled so quickly without the ability of a 3rd party to investigate? Also, who benefited financially, by shorting the Ailine Stocks via put options.

Concrete cannot be pulverized to dust without an explosion. Steel cannot melt at lower than 2750 degrees Fahrenheit, and jet fuel doesn't burn that hot. It was impossible for jet fuel to bring down these steel reinforced buildings.

While I am not in a position to read and personally evaluate every scrap of evidence pertaining to this situation, there are far too many anomalies and unanswered questions for me to accept the party line.

I've always thought that the way the buildings fell so fast and almost straight down despite asymmetric damage to each tower was a little strange. I can't fathom a reason that WTC7 fell at all. I don't believe what our government tells us and since Dick Cheney was involved, I absolutely don't believe the official story.

I was still in college at Mines when the towers came down. I remember going to one of the 'presentations' that they had on campus to help explain how it could have happened... how the first steel structured building in history had suffered a full collapse due to fire damage(and 3 of them ta boot!). It was some expert from somewhere, and he was quite convincing in the fact that the fuel from the planes had burned hot enough for the steel to fail, and then the 'pan-caking effect' and weight from the stories above caused the accordion type collapse of the towers. Not really being an expert in melting steel (or anything yet, for that matter...) i bought this explanation without further investigation and got back to my classes and trusted it in the hands of the expert investigators. Ever since then, when I truly began to critically think about the disaster in 2001, I cannot bring myself to believe the 'official' explanations of what was reported to have happened on 9/11. It is obvious to me that all 3 buildings were brought down in a planned/controlled demolition, and that there is way more to the 9/11 story than we have 'officially' been told. Please re-open the investigation, and let us not be victims of repeating such dark pasts... by not letting our history be such a dark lie...

He has developed a thorough knowledge of the HSAWA principle of risks being as low as reasonably practicable, and has prepared and presented evidence for safety case assessment and litigation purposes on numerous occasions.
Simple observation of the falling of the towers shows typical characteristics of controlled explosive demolition. Even if it had been possible to melt the structural steel on the upper floors from fuel burning, which is doubtful, it is highly likely, virtually certain, that the upper sections of the towers would have toppled intact, leaving the lower sections standing.

The collapse of the WTC towers and WTC 7 strongly resemble that of a perfectly carried out controlled demolition: a straight-down collapse of the structure at close to free-fall speed. Video-footage showing flashes of light across the buildings and witnesses talking of hearing explosions shortly before the collapse support this.

I have reviewed the available evidence over the past several years and it overwhelmingly supports the controlled demolition hypothesis concerning the WTC buildings on 9/11. There is more than enough evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the 9/11 commission report is not only substantially incomplete, but glaringly incorrect; yet this document still stands today as the official account of an event that continues to affect our everyday lives.

The nearly uninhibited free-fall of all 3 buildings is contrary to laws of physics (Newton's laws of motion and the conservation of energy / first law of thermodynamics). The collisions during the building collapse (i.e., upper floors dropping into lower floors) would demand that the falling body (upper floors) should slow down far below natural gravitational acceleration value (32.174 fl/s^2 or 9.81 m/s^2) due to momentum and collision losses. The momentum / mass of the lower stationary floors (f=m*a and m1v1 & m2v2 products) would reduce the average speed and acceleration rate of the falling mass, and 2) the energy absorbed (force * distance) via the collision and material distortion (i.e., steel bending), or material disintegration (i.e., concrete crumbling) as the falling upper floors collided with the floors beneath must also reduce the acceleration rate. Also, the jet fuel and office fire burned BLACK (indicating an oxygen lean/fuel rich fire), which would not produce a temperature hot enough to melt such a massive steel structure, much less weaken the structure to the point of collapse, especially as the collapses do not occur with any sort of directional bias (falling toward the failure or weak point).

When I first saw the planes hitting the building I was a engineering student I believed and the media made the whole world believe that it had collapsed by burning of jet fuel.But practically the whole story of collapse of towers by hitting a plane came to me when started investigating on behavior of steels. And this website has even more reason to find the truth. Hope it exposes the truth to the world that the 911 was an inside job.

Without even speaking to the two tallest towers, it is obvious that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. I have training in structures, being a graduate in Civil Engineering. I have training in physics, having passed the rigorous curriculum at Ga. Tech. And it is obvious that building 7 came down at the acceleration that the force of gravity would require. That means that every connector that attached vertical members to horizontal connectors, at each floor level, had to give way completely, and simultaneously, such to bring down that building at the acceleration due to gravity. The 911 Report did not even address the spontaneous implosion of Building 7 at 5:20 PM on the afternoon of 911. The subsequent NIST Report issued years later, failed to explain it's conclusions, or at least failed to explain then in a manner that makes any physical or engineering sense. Therefore, in the interest of truth, and indeed of national security, a fair and impartial commission needs to be placed in charge of a new investigation. And sense the same engineering and physical concerns also surround the conclusions of the 911 Report that did deal with the twin towers, this investigation also needs to have the entire set of events of 911 as it's subject scope.

I have practiced Civil & Structural Engineering for the past 30 years. I graduated as a Structural Engineer in 1979. It's hard for me to accept the collapse of building #7, as this building sustained no Structural damage and that the building came down due to an office fire. Technically and structurally this is impossible for a steel structure to come down by a fire. Therefore I strongly feel that there needs to be an independent investigation as to the cause of the collapse.

By examining the facts of the three buildings that collapsed on 911, the official story appears to be missing some major aspects. Not only was the collapse of building 7 completely avoided by mainstream media discussions, but the fact that they fell at free-fall speed, no explosives were officially tested for at ground zero and rubble was removed so quickly after 9/11 begs the question that there is more to the official story than originally suggested. If anything, the fact that so much of the current state of the world in terms of removing of individual freedoms and expanded domestic and international government powers, as a people we should be questioning this catastrophic event more.

It is very clear that something more than the plane strikes took down those towers!

The amount of evidence about what really happened on September 11 and more importantly, why the buildings collapsed, is overwhelming. The American public should not be kept in the dark. They should demand a response for the 3000 lives lost on that day.

I am a 26 year old degreed Electrical Engineer and live in the Central New York area. I am currently employed as a Power Systems Engineer for a Company which is very well-known throughout the world. In this position, I focus on electrical distribution system analysis for power systems ranging from 208V to 115kV. I am presently studying to take the New York State Professional Engineer examination to earn my license.
I was a sophomore in high school in September of 2001. At the time, I did not really attempt to better understand the events any further than the basic information the media was providing. This changed in early-2012 when I was part of the electrical engineering team working towards approval from Con-Edison for energization of the new WTC2. As I watched the progress being made on the new WTC complex, I felt that I needed to go back and better understand what had really happened on 9/11. As I began research on the topic, I quickly came to the realization that the official explanation did not make sense. I am very interested in pursuing this personal research further and am grateful that I came across A&E 911 Truth. I feel this is a fantastic organization which is asking all of the right questions!

After being made aware of the AE911 video by a technical associate, and watching the video, I was somewhat shocked to learn about the structural collapse of building 7. The associated videos prompted me to watch the collapse of the other buildings with a more critical eye. I was shocked to see the explosions and resulting ejections of structural materials that were occurring a few stories below the collapsing structure above. The real cause of these explosions needs to be determined and made known. Further, how this was accomplished, and by whom, also needs to be exposed.

I believe that 9/11 was a demolition and not an attack by terrorists.

While I received a BS in ChemE some time ago, I have spent little time pursuing that elusive career. I have instead pursued other interests. This would not make me an expert but I do believe that my studies in the field do qualify me to claiming a science based opinion as to what smells and what doesn't.
With the passage of time, the preponderance of evidence related to the WTC collapse events indicates to me that there are many ignored questions which need to be addressed. IMO failure to address these questions through a proper investigation will only serve to fuel rumor and sensationalism and this is matter I think we would all prefer to see finally resolved and relegated to history.
