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.

Three decades of professional civil engineering experience. Work included utility design and design of structures.
I concur with the Chief Editor of Fire Protection Engineering, who cited the 9/11 Report as a half-baked farce. The report is worse than a farce; it is criminal in its negligence to investigate the truth. Steel buildings do NOT fail in the manners we witnessed, except for those demolished by controlled demolition.Until this matter is properly investigated, the truth revealed, and the perpetrators punished, America will NOT be a free country.

Abdul Rasheed is a recent graduate from UK University. He always had a passion for electronics and that motivated him to get a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Bhopal, India) to understand the basic concepts of any engineering field. After completion of the bachelor degree, he gained experience in Industrial Automation and Project Management of power plant renovation and modernization. Due to learning curiosity, after the gap of 3 years, he pursued Master of Science in Advanced Electrical and Electronic Engineering from (Leicester, UK). There he gained an in-depth understanding of industrial machine and 'system engineering and spacecraft systems'.
Based on the evidence available and the knowledge of engineering, it is concluded that WTC destruction was a planned demolition, conducted by powerful authorities who have the access to the building and explosives supply. Further investigation needs to be conducted and moreover, the US Government has the duty to provide all the available evidence to the experts for examination.

I am outraged that NIST has actively ignored first hand witness testimony verifying the existence of liquid iron at WTC. The NIST numerical model of the WTC7 collapse illustrates that their explanation of the cause of collapse does not match what actually happened. Symmetric vertical acceleration is not possible without uniform and simultaneous severing of all support columns.

Am obviously concerned about the implications for Canada.

I have designed many large structural projects over a 40 year span including such projects as a one million square foot industrial plant, largest oil and gas drilling rig capable of drilling to 25,000 feet below surface, and the largest freestanding steel cross standing 19 stories and weighing 2.5 million pounds (to name a few).
Engineering is the only exact science in the world -- we know how to erect structures and how to demolish them also. We do not practice engineering as the law and medical professions do. Without a DOUBT, these structures failed from a deliberate controlled demolition effort. There is not a tall slender structure anywhere that would fail in a symmetrical footprint mode like the 3 towers did unless it was designed to do so. Jet fuel combustion temperature would not even get close to the temps required to bring down the core columns of those structures (ASTM E-119 steel).

There must have occurred explosions inside the towers before and while collapsing, who caused tons of material to be blown horizontally (and up) away from the buildings. This cannot be caused by simply collapsing. Nor could that explain the gigantic metamorphosis of thousands of tons of material (including steel) into dust consisting of very small particles.I am still very hopeful, that a truly independent investigation of what happened on 9/11 2001 will finally take place and I hope I will live to see it. My hopes are for my children and my grandchildren, whose Mother is a citizen of the United States, though it may turn out to be very hard for the American people to face the truth of 9/11, like it was for German people after world war II.

I just cannot quite believe that some people still think the planes/fires caused the collapse. It has been proven that this could not happen and that there is a whole host of evidence that was 'overlooked'. The fact NIST or the commission still refuse to appear in public and defend their theory against peers, further reinforces the corruption. WTC7 is the real smoking gun though. What destroys any credibility of the official theory is the live BBC news report that reported WTC7 as having collapsed when it was still clearly visible from the window behind them. This is damning evidence that all of the media had prior knowledge about what was going to happen. There is no way anyone could have known WTC7 was about to collapse from the small pockets of fires that were blazing. Owing to the weeks of planning that had to go into bringing that building down, this in itself is irrefutable evidence that the building had been planned to come down that day by a team of experts.

It is important to arrive at the truth as it will help frame proper standards for design of building against catastrophic collapse under fire. Evaluating existing standards, setting new standards is important and this is important to safeguard property and life in future.

It is clear that the aircraft used to impact the WTC buildings were not the commercial aircraft alleged to have been the ones. Our news media is a part of the conspiracy to keep this quiet. Clearly the size of the impact zone reflects that as the truth, something our news media (involved in the conspiracy) will keep from the public.

As an Fire Alarm Professional employed by ADT I frequently visited their HQ at the WTC in the mid 1980s. I witnessed, first hand, the lack of horizontal fire suppression (vertical risers were installed) and the sub standard building life safety conditions that were allowed by the NYS Port Authority. These defficiencies may not have contributed the collapse but might have saved many lives had they been installed. There are many unanswered questions that need to be researched and reported. I completly support the re-opening of a full investigation. After working with the Federal Government for many years, the TRUTH will only come from an independant study.

We must conclude that the Report of the 9/11 Commission is a sham and cover-up. It's impossible not to conclude otherwise. The events of 9/11 have been used as justification for so many dark deeds on the parts of governments. Only a new independent investigation can encourage national and international repentance of the order of magnitude required. Be part of the solution. Propagate the truth! Encourage this excellent and sophisticated movement.

I witnessed the collapses of the towers and of WTC 7 on live TV. I am certain these were due to demolition explosives that had to be placed BEFORE the alleged surprise attack, thus proving a conspiracy. WTC 7 was an obviously standard demolition by explosives. In the towers, the collapses began at the TOP, not at the points of plane impact, showing the explosives were detonated in sequence from top down to simulate a pancake collapse. The presence of molten iron under the debris of all 3 collapsed buildings proves the use of thermate, as the fires could not possibly have been hot enough to melt steel. The small human body fragments found on the roofs of nearby buildings could only have been caused by the detonations of high explosives.

There is a lot of compelling evidence in the fields of engineering and aviation to the fact that the official story of 9/11 is not true. Especially the collapse of WTC 7 in total free fall for 100 ft clearly shows that the building was not an isolated system: Energy (in the form of explosives/incendiaries) must have been added to hinder the supporting structure below from resisting the structure above). This can not happen due to a local failure in a steel structure. Once one of the many evidences gets you started it is impossible for people with some sense for righteousness to remain passive. The petition from ae911truth is a very good opportunity to speak up.

I have reviewed and endorse David Chandler's methodology for calculating the acceleration of World Trade Center 7 as available in the video footage. The evidence strongly suggests World Trade Center 7 is in freefall for a substantial amount of time (~2-3 seconds), which is inconsistent with a natural collapse; freefall indicates the absence of any structural resistance and in my opinion this absence can only be explained by human intervention.

I've been working in the software field with 10+ years of professional experience. My interest primarily lies in economics and the corresponding policies that follow.
I was first introduced to 911 around 2005/2006 when I saw 3 documentaries, Loose Change, 911 Mysteries: Demolitions, and Fahrenheit 911. While at that point in time, I was not very convinced by some points shown in them, the one that caught my attention instantly was the towers falling. The more I watched it, the more I was convinced there was something very seriously wrong here. In the recent past, I have revisited 911, and had a look at it in a more objective manner. Here is what stands on top of my list today: 1. Eyewitness reports and video evidence have been completely ignored and kept aside. I would think, this is the first step when it comes to solving any crime. One need not look further to be convinced that something is seriously wrong with the 911 investigation and media reports!!! 2. Three buildings that are designed to withstand enormous loads, 2 of which are 110 stories tall, and had an acre sized floors, and both falling at free fall speed like there is absolutely no resistance below. Seriously? Did the building resistance decide to take an abrupt vacation and crumple down to earth? 3. The energy simply doesn't even begin to add up for the buildings to get demolished! I don't even need to get a calculator. A building with an acre floor span, 110 stories tall, is designed to take loads multiple times its actual load. The energy required to demolish such a building and so quickly, is off the charts. Anyone who has a basic understanding of real world science will tell you that the massive energy hole between what was needed and what was available means that the extra energy had to come from another source. 4. WORST CASE scenario, if something seriously had gone wrong in the buildings, I would absolutely expect the buildings to tilt and fall over. Again, this is a worst case scenario!! Falling straight down through themselves and their enormous resistance, and this at free fall speed, is not even a possibility here. No way. Not happening. 5. The buildings crushed/demolished themselves in such a way that would make it seem that buildings are brittle by nature. 6. If 911 happened the way it was told, it should be called The Amazing Coincidences Day! There were that many amazing co-incidences and all in the same day. Even if one of these amazing coincidences happened on one day alone, would be quite amazing, and we saw a spate of these happen all on the same day. Jaw dropping!!! Enormous capital is controlling most of our planet, and it has strategically made media very expensive. This has in turn coupled media tightly with enormous capital; hence, media is now the voice of capital interests. This is why media is no longer free and unbiased, and exactly why mainstream media does not cover 911.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in 1981. In the intervening years I worked at a variety of jobs, the most applicable being the 12 years when I did instrumentation & controls and then mechanical design engineering for a variety of industries. I have a typical plodding but thorough and mechanistic and engineering approach to any subject I approach.
I felt indignation when I first heard that people were questioning the official version of 9-11 events. It took several years for it to filter through to me that building 7 fell at free fall speeds 7+ hours after the towers. I've perused the NIST report dated 2008. I do understand the elaborate chain of events described therein and they sound very unlikely. I've heard some expert testimony questioning many of the premises and details NIST used to construct their report. I'm convinced the NIST report is unsatisfactory and that we owe it to the victims, their families and to ourselves to continue investigating. The bad guys are still out there. Their monumental arrogance and sociopathic mentality will continue to surface if we don't.

Most state engineering license regulatory agencies state something to this effect: Registrants shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property and welfare of the public. (OAR 820-020-0015) This is paramount to a licensed engineer's duties. I've studied and pondered the information and comments made by engineers and architects who are likely guided by such licensing rules and who have more expertise in the subject than I do - both in and outside of your web site. I believe them. The facts presented make logical sense and reinforces the intuitive engineer in me that thought something was suspicious regarding the events of that day. My doubt of the official story has increased accordingly over time - thus I sign your petition.

My husband and I were hiking the south rim of the grand canyon on Sept. 11th, 2001. I told him then, as I have many times since, that from my view, there's something not right with the math and science aspects of what I saw happen as showed by the media. I have always maintained that opinion, along with some other opinions about why and how 9/11 happened. None of my opinions were ever brought to light in the mainstream news. I continued searching for answers and found this site while searching. I'm glad I did.

I woke and saw the news of the Towers on fire. - - I evaluated the situation and the comparatively minor damage compared to the size of the structure. - - The flash heat of jet fuel is unable to melt protected steel. - - Although I was greatly disturbed by the destruction, I saw no possibility of complete collapse. - - I watched every minute of news and was completely confused when and why the Towers collapsed. - - Further confused why the collapse was perfectly symmetrical. - - Asymmetric damage should result in asymmetric failure. - - - - I feel an odd sense of confused repression of what I thought I held as a solid scientific facts of physics when I see or hear about 9/11. It bothers me psychologically. It's as if it's possible that gravity may not work tomorrow. - - - - Please, the truth must surface.

Controlled demolition is the most logical explanation for the collapse of the WTC. If a fire could cause such devastation, no one would be allowed to live and work in high rises. The risk would be too high. If the official story was true, the government would be looking to blame (prosecute) the designers, architects, engineers of WTC for ineptitude.

The collapse of all three buildings appears exactly like building demolitions I have seen before. The most logical explanation for the buildings collapsing vertically so quickly is that it occurred due to planned demolition, as proven in the film.

The 9/11 Commission Report neither includes all aspects of the given incident, nor explains comprehensible the collapse of the involved buildings. Considering the magnitude of political and social change within the US and worldwide due to this day, it is to expect, that its investigation is flawless, unbiased, comprehensive, scientifically exact and adequately discussed. The fact that it isn't and the procedural violations it contains made me sign this petition to resume the investigation to find out about the truth of 9/11.

There is only one way that Building 7 could have collapsed the way it did. That's if all the structural joints failed at the same time. Controlled demolition explains this perfectly. There is lots of other evidence that supports this theory as well. The most convincing is just the time study of the collapse of Building 7.

I believe the evidence at hand certainly indicates failure modes alternate to the currently accepted report. The evidence should be fully investigated and alternate potential root causes investigated. We need to explain the nature of the collapses, using all video recorded from the events.

The way the building collapsed makes no scientific sense. The buildings fell down as if it were pulverized , like what occurs in a controlled demolition. In addition, there were parts of the building that seemed to be falling in the horizontal axis as well as downward, as if they were exploded outward from the building.. Pieces of the building were found very distant from where the buildings stood.

I watched the second plane hit on the internet as it happened, and saw the fall of the last tower on the internet as it happened. I wondered at the time why it looked so much like a typical building demolition.

BS in Chemical Engineering. I am a process engineer.
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.

Is there downward accelerating movement of upper floors above aircraft strike relative to the stationery floors below the aircraft strike? Or does the entire tower accelerate downward in freefall in ONE PIECE?

Although I see much video evidence that contradicts the NIST report (free-falling buildings, firemen comments, melting steel), the biggest problem I have with the entire event is the rush to clean up the sites without performing any real forensic science.
