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 engaged in the design and project management of public buildings in diverse environments for most of my 35 year career. Half of that time was as principle architect in my own 15 person firm, and half as senior project manager in several larger E/A firms.
Do not attribute to deviousness, what can be explained by stupidity. (Lew Wallace, while Territorial Governor of New Mexico). I have no doubt that controlled demolition played an essential role in the collapse of all three buildings. But I can imagine scenarios in which the explosives were placed (for stupid reasons) without expecting the attack by airplanes and then were implemented in response to that attack (again for stupid reasons). Conspiracy requires a level of intelligence not in evidence. Cover up is the primal response to stupidity.

Maybe it won't be ever possible to know who was behind the terrorist attack in the saddest day in the history of the USA, but every person who analyzes carefully the evidence exposed by A&E for 9/11 truth and other groups dealing with the issue, can conclude by him or herself that the official version is not only incomplete but strongly biased in order to avoid the knowing of the truth. Physics can't be corrupted by money.

I am a chemical and environmental engineer and I attended the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, a school that is highly recognized all over the world. I have designed industrial structures as part of chemical engineering, and have done engineering consulting for many years.
Jet fuel's capability is to create instant heat that can be immediately converted to mechanical energy. It does not have staying power as opposed to heavier organics like tar that hang around and help things burn. Jet fuel can help start a fire but it cannot be the the fuel that continues to burn something for a long time. So the world trade centers did not have jet fuel burning in them; it was merely office fires after the initial explosion. There was nothing capable of heating giant massive thick beams throughout the length of the towers or at any single point to cause the observed collapses. Only a controlled demolition can do what was seen and what was heard as well - multiple explosions, way past the jet strikes.

It is clear from my own research into the matter that the government is not telling us the whole story about 9/11. This does not imply 9/11 was a government conspiracy, but it does mean that important facts are being withheld from a public that has a right to know them. I believe the focus should be on Building 7, which underwent a symmetrical collapse that did not account for the mass resistance of the vertical pillars that were designed to hold the building up in the first place.

I doubt very much the story that is given, about the buildings collapsing upon themselves due to the fire as a result of the planes hitting the building. For two buildings to collapse upon their own footprint in exactly the same way defies probability. Building 7 of the World Trade Center, a steel reinforced building that only had a few office fires, just confirms that this was an inside job.

Recently retired structural engineer with 46 years experience in design of steel and concrete structures, including low- rise and mid-rise buildings. My experience does not extend to true high rises although I have designed buildings up to 16 stories in height. I was a founding member of the Structural Engineers Association of Alabama, which currently exhibits a membership of over 200 practicing structural engineers.
When the buildings fell on 9-11, I said to my wife, That looks like controlled demolition. Under the pressing duties of running an engineering business, I soon deferred my concerns to those of my business. After witnessing the ESO video, I am more than ever convinced that the buildings fell from pre-set charges. While there may be some small comfort involved in thinking a few deranged terrorists in an airplane caused this devastation, there is too much evidence that screams otherwise. The pattern of collapse exhibited by the Towers and building #7, do not occur in an airplane impact. They most definitely do occur everyday with planned explosives demolition.

I watched the burning of the WTC towers and was confused by what I was seeing in the showers of sparks coming out of the building in various places. Then I was shocked, not only at the collapse of the buildings, but the near perfect collapse and virtual free fall.

With others, I will be publishing our results over the winter and spring. I also have operational engineering experience overseeing and running engine spaces aboard various oil support vessels in the Gulf of Mexico.
The events of 9/11 are unprecedented both in history and in science. Due to the manner in which all three WTC buildings fell, taking their construction into mind, the official story defies several areas of established scientific understanding. These areas include, but are not limited to, strength of materials, thermodynamics, statics, and column loading. These buildings fell with acceleration (not constant speed), and collapsed inside of their footprint. If we were to apply sound probability theory to this, you would find it easier to find a particular grain of sand on Daytona Beach.

I watched the 2nd plane hit the building as it happened. I could tell that there was something wrong with the way everything had gone down. Nothing seemed right. I was ostracized from the that first day as a result. I knew at that point how hard it was going to be to get past this. A few simple thoughts about certain physical claims: 1. If steel is softened at low temperatures, aircraft engines could not get off the ground. 2. Getting out a phone call above 10,000 feet doesn't require an elaborate organizational plane, just one radio transmission amplifier in the aircraft. 3. What happened to the water cisterns within the buildings? Something I could never understand - Why bring down the buildings when the people on the planes had already died? What difference would it have made whether it was 300 people or 3000? Attacked we were. Why produce so much more carnage? Who else knew about these attacks prior? Who seems to be in the loop?

As an engineering professional and a researcher in scientific issues, I know its not a question of belief to say if the towers were brought down by demolition or fires. All evidence points to demolition, so demolition it is. About who did it or why they it is an entirely different matter, which obviously must also be subject to unbiased invetigation.

Agree with professional assessment that this was a controlled demolition. Everything from plane impact not able to cause structural failure to temperatures reached to produce molten steel to the floor by floor collapse instantly prove to any educated and rational architectural or engineering mind the absolute ridiculousness of the assertion that two impacting jet liners caused the towers to fall. This is the most diabolical lie and cover up known to humankind. Whoever is responsible for this sham is far more evil and dangerous than any militant Islamic terrorist could ever be. Obviously the purpose of this ruse was to fool the much greater number of less educated and lesser informed individuals of the American public who would never be able to see past the illusion due to their lack of experience and expertise in architecture and/or engineering.

I've watched countless hours of video evidence from 911 starting in 2005. The collapse of WTC building 7 is clear cut in that it resembles a collapse into its own footprint due to demolition when comparing to video of other multi story buildings deliberately destroyed by this method. No engineering degree or architectural qualification is needed to know that the twin towers did not fall due to fire - simple high school physics is proof enough. The collapse of both towers happens incredibly quickly - with stories seemingly finding no resistance below as they fell. There are other glaring anomalies such as a top section that was keeling over but then stopped its rotation movement and collapsed vertically ' this makes no sense if the official fire-based collapse is to be believed. Other glaring evidence includes steel beams being jettisoned outwards for huge distances as the tower fell ' there is simply not enough kinetic energy present in a fire-based collapse to cause heavy beams to make this movement outwards. The only explanation can be demolition by explosives. Moreover ' the fires were oxygen starved and cool burning (burning with dark smoke) which allowed people to walk down past the fires to escape and allowed a woman to stand calling for help in the hole created by one of the planes. Such small cool burning fires could never cause the towers massive steel structure to collapse ' the core center girders were several meters thick.

Where is the technical information on the failure modes of the core column supports? How frequently did they buckle along their length? Where is the photographic evidence to prove it? Did they ever re-assemble one column? Were there breaks in the columns, and if so, how many, where, and where are the pictures? Was the entire site, the largest crime scene in American history, photographed in detail as it lay after the dust settled? Why does the upper section of the building crumble as it falls?

Since 2006 I have reviewed a large amount of evidence that is available on this topic, considered and debated many opinions, met personally and spoke with several core members of AE911Truth and other truth-seeking organizations, and I stand with the firm belief that the Twin Tower and Building 7 fell aided by controlled demolition. I do not like to speculate about anything that cannot be proven by scientific fact, and as such I do not hypothesize on what exactly happened on 9/11. I am however convinced there is a much deeper story that needs to be thoroughly and publicly investigated, so that the public at large can come to terms with the truth about what happened on 9/11 and who planned and benefited from it. It is only through society getting to the truth and coming to terms with an even like 9/11 that we can truly start addressing the broader challenges that our world faces, including wars, climate change, and education.

Building 7 is the smoking gun. A steel framed skyscraper such as this cannot fall from any kind of fire. Clearly the vertical steel columns were severed simultaneously at or near ground level. This required a highly skilled and time consuming operation. Probably over several months.

The explanation of why the WTC buildings collapsed given by the commissions certainly ignored scientific research and general engineering and materials knowledge. I do not think that all the years of education and training that all Architects, Engineers, Researchers and Specialists received collectively could be ignored and purposely wiped by the biased and incomplete reports presented by the commissions. The professional community should speak and demand an honest report that will once and for all put an end to all the lies and contradictions.

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.

If one chooses to significantly study all of the evidence and to think critically on the same, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the official story of 9/11 put forth, in its entirety simply cannot be true from any perspective. It is an impossibility. Additionally, there is overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness statements, photographic and videographic records, timelines, scientific and engineering data, irrefutable laws of physics, and the like which directly and unequivocally refute the official story of 9/11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 ' 1860) There will come a day when our children & grandchildren will look us in the eyes and ask us what we did and what action we took when we learned of the truth of 9/11 . . .

Worked in the Advance Technology Lab at UCLA, School of Engineering while earning a BSEE in computer science, and attending a year of graduate school. Professional career included wide array of engineering, systems analysis, program and project management, marketing, strategic planning, business development and general management, in computer manufacturing and financial information systems, with senior and executive management responsibility. Founded several start-ups, including a small family business severing Yosemite National Park visitors since 1995. I am active in community affairs, and have served in an elected position.
I worked in the World Trade Center for several years. It was seen by many as a trusted feat of engineering, but more importantly a safe place to work and view the City - even in sever windy weather. Not knowing, for sure, why it collapsed will forever leave scars and breed doubt about the safety of such structures. Not only those who lost love ones, but those who place their trust in new structures, need to know that everything of conjecture was thoroughly reviewed; that design, fabrication, and operation of new buildings breed out whatever weaknesses that could lead to such a collapse. The evidence clearly leaves in doubt that this was not done. Trust in our government is just as important. As it stands, how can the public trust their elected officials or appointed staff? A new, properly conducted investigation is critical to all concerned!

Served as a systems analyst developing prototype applications that, after successful deployment by users, are left as is or are converted to MS SQL server applications. Born and brought up in New York (Brooklyn); PhD Systems Management, Ohio State University; Chairman Ohio Moratorium to end Vietnam War; Member New Mobe; Worked in Washington, D.C. for 30-years as an employee and consultant for federal and state governments in the areas of criminal justice, health (Medicare) and social programs and later as a business systems analyst for CSC. Retired and moved to California Oct. 2010; then to Arizona November 2011. I have been active in the occupy movement and as a blogger to expose how the new education reform program (common core, testing replacing teaching, etc.), intends to privatize public education, freeze children from (mostly non-white) poverty homes out of post-secondary education and continue to swell the student loan debt (a cash cow for the federal government) to greater and greater proportions.
Evidently pulled off by big monied interests of the world who needed to employ US military in the oil countries and support efforts to set up world government under the Rothschilds, Morgans, DeutchBanks, etc. Obvious that the USA is being forced to do all the dirty work by the fact that we are broke and owe everything we have to the big banks that own the Fed. What else do you need me to say?

I am a civil engineer for 33 years. I am the co-founder of Proscape, one of the leading landscaping companies in the Middle East.
I cannot believe that the twin towers fell symmetrically in less than 12 seconds, just because of airplane impact. But the biggest surprise is building 7. I didn't even know about a third building until last year, and it is absolutely unbelievable for it to fall the way it did due to just fire.

The statements by witnesses, particularly trained observers and emergency responders, on the films investigating the WTC buildings collapses, as well as the Pentagon attack on the same day, and the lack of required, necessary, and appropriate investigative protocol for preservation of forensic evidence and failures in the application of proper procedures by governmental agencies and professional societies reveal much more than just common incompetence on the part of the government-appointed, so-called investigative professionals. Too many questions went unanswered, and too much evidence has been excluded, to consider the investigation of this disaster to be complete. I consider myself a reasonable person, and as a reasonable person I doubt the official story in it's entirety based on facts presented by AE911Truth and others.

There needs to be an unfettered international investigation of the 9/11 crimes.

Looking at the videos from collapsing buildings with the laws of physics in my head it's only believably for me, that they had been blown up by explosives.
