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 graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with my degree in mechanical engineering (BSME)
If you take a look at the material characteristics and the melting point of the structural steel, there is a discrepancy in how the steel of the towers just gave out in the way that they did. They would not have fallen in a uniform manner because that would mean all the structural beams would've had to fatigue from the heat at the same rate. Also when looking at the aftermath you can see there are angled demolition cuts on the steal beams.

Upon receiving my BS in Chem.E. in 1980, I studied Linguistics at University of Michigan graduate school and have worked abroad as a translator of technical documents since 1984.
Because I consider the collapse of the three high rises at near free-fall speeds to be evidence of something else having gone on behind the scenes that day, most likely controlled demolition, even otherwise intelligent progressives consider me a tinfoil hatter now, most probably because of the recent National Geographic special. This is sad, but I believe that in time the psychological need to believe in the official theory will diminish, and the truth will be widely acknowledged. The most compelling evidence was broadcast worldwide repeatedly, ad nauseum. It will eventually be undeniable.

Cassel, France
Occupation: Engineer (Retired)
Degreed as a chemical engineer in June 1965, in a French engineer school. I prepared a thesis on a physical chemistry subject until obtaining a graduate Docteur-Ingenieur in january 1970, at the university of Lille. The main results of my work were published in 'Le journal de physique' (French scientifical journal about physics) in march 1971 under my name and that of my bosses. After that educational period, I joined the steelmaking industry for my whole career. I worked much of the time for french USINOR group and finally during some years for the german THYSSENKRUPP when this company bought some parts of USINOR activities. I retired in May 2002. During my career, my job was about liquid steelmaking (special converters AOD for stainless steel) and hot rolling. I was a good specialist of reheating slabs of very special steels at a temperature as high as 2550 'F ! I've got a medal from the french steelmaking technical association (ATS - Association Technique de la Sid'rurgie fran'aise) for that job.
Concerning the 9/11 events, I am absolutely convinced that the softening of any of the inner columns of the WTC under a fire is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. These colums were similar in shape with the slabs that I had to reheat from the room temperature to that of hot rolling mill. Flames, as high as they can be, are unable to heat the metal in the whole thickness. As a matter of fact, to reheat a 10 inches thick steel slab, it takes a least 3 hours in a very special hot rolling furnace. The system is very close to the theoretical black body (radiation is the main heating process, despite the type of fuel used). This furnace demands two complete days of preheat to be operating. And, naturally, the slabs are not insulated as the colums of the WTC.

I have experience in commercial and residential design. I am very skilled on the computer aided drafting and can create designs in 2D as well as 3D.
I don't believe that the fact that the airplanes that struck the North and South Towers by themselves made the Twin Towers fall. I do not doubt that the possibility of a controlled demolition was used to purposely bring the buildings down. Somewhere in a remote desert, maybe in Arizona, a scaled down version of the World Trade Center - ALL 7 buildings as they once stood, should be built and then have similarly scaled down - remote controlled U.A.V.'s flown into them with a fuel similar to what the planes were carrying and let it burn for the exact amount of time before the collapse, to see if the reenacted fires would by themselves result in a collapse of the towers. This would be a test similar to the tests that are conducted inside wind tunnels for the design of aircraft.

As an intelligent and highly trained professional I do not believe that it is possible for the destruction that occured to the Twin Towers to have been precipitated by an airplane colliding with them. I operate on logic and the offical story doesn't make logical sense.

I seriously believe that further investigation of the case of the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 is warranted. Building 7 was pulled. I do not believe that there ever was sufficient inquiry into these losses and that we owe it to both the victims and families of all those who have lost their lives, in addition to the cause of Liberty to insure that a full and conclusive investigation is conducted.

God willing and the creek don't rise. And I'm an atheist.
I've never believed the conventional wisdom regarding the collapses right from originally seeing them on live TV. The angle cuts on the beams is evidence that should scream out that more was going on. After watching the film how can anyone not have at least a compelling doubt and desire for a clearer, truer explanation?

I don't see buildings collapsing, I see buildings being pulverized by some explosive force, turned into rubble in midair, from top to bottom, completely destroyed before they reached the groundin incredible swiftness. An awesome display of destruction, possible only with expertise.

The attacks on America were horrific enough, but to see the Twin Towers collapse was even worse. I watched it and then had to explain to my special education students what happened (although they had not been in the room at the time, they heard the adults talking and saw the reactions on their way back to class), why (which I still can't answer), and will it happen again. No child should have to witness that, especially after they went through the attack on the Murrah Bldg in OKC! A complete and thorough investigation, without any more cover-ups, is needed. 9 years is too long to wait.

Artist, writer. I had recurring nightmares about the towers collapsing for years after 9-11. I made a lot of artwork, channeling my anger into it, to work that demon out of my head. It took a long time, but it worked. I would like to see each and every member of the Bush administration hanged at Ground Zero.
The 'official story' is a lie. I never believed it. I still don't. I've heard just about every idiotic excuse (for the towers collapsing) from people who used to be friends. I no longer associate with people who do not see what's coming down the road. We were all told what we saw on TV. I didn't listen. I know what I saw: I saw buildings exploding. I also never believed the 'box cutter terrorist' theory.

I am no architect, or scientist, but I would like a thorough investigation of the 9/11 collapse. If there was a demolition, I want the truth and facts behind it. I just hope to god this isn't true that there was a demolition with thousands of people involved.
I have watched many videos of building collapses. Just by physical evidence, I have reason to believe it is a demolition.

I am not an architect/engineer, but I could see with mine own layman eyes that the collapse of all three towers was due to some form of controlled demolition. That much to so many of us is obvious. It is the ongoing massive government and media cover up, the pretense for a global war on terror that disturbs me most. What are the deadly implications for such well coordinated and sinister control?

The explanation given as to how and why the THREE buildings collapsed on September the 11th 2001 has raised a number of important questions which in my opinion deserve a third party examination.
