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.

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.

To be quite honest, after learning the truth of 9/11/01, I chose to drop out of high school. I never appreciated the extremely boring and lethargic days, the constant appeal to authority, the compliance expected through punishment. After learning this truth, I chose to educate myself, and its turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. I have fifteen years in metals construction, I've worked on many skyscrapers, I've been certified in 3G and 4G unlimited SMAW for fourteen years now, and last year started my own company in high end metals fabrication. I'm the President and founder of Kisiah Ornamental Iron, Inc, and continue this fight, until my dying breath.
As someone who has worked with metal their entire adult life, I know to the core of my very being that this was a controlled demolition. I'm a blacksmith, and know quite well the temperature and energy necessary to turn A36 steel into molten pools. The microspheres found are the smoking gun, no one can debate why they're present, no one!

My thoughts are a pancake of floor down to next floor would have created a uniform dust blast in all directions, like dropping a book on a dirty garage floor, not individual squibs in certain spots. I did not see uniform displacement, I see squibs. I hear too many eyewitnesses reporting explosions in different parts of the building. Clip of firefighters is key, boom boom boom all the way down, like a controlled demolition. More than one source reported that the firefighters knew bldg 7 was about to be pulled. Compare film of other controlled demolitions; building 7 was a planned, controlled demolition.

There are too many unanswered questions about 9/11 in order to believe the official version of events. A more thorough investigation is needed to arrive at a more accurate assessment. There is not enough energy contained in jet fuel to explain the total collapse and destruction of the central core. The molten steel found in the basements of the towers needs to be explained scientifically. The collapse of WTC 7 is also very suspicious.

While at Boeing, I participated in an accident investigation and witnessed how many parts (hydraulic actuators for spoilers, elevators, and rudder) were salvageable despite the high-speed impact of that crash (Silk Air 185.)

Currently work at Integration, Innovation, Inc. a defense contractor working on hypersonic missile design.
I skipped work on 9/11 to watch the whole day's coverage of the various attacks (WTC, Pentagon, Shanksville.) I absolutely remember hearing explosions, hearing people describe explosions, watching WTC 7 go down (I always knew 3 buildings went down that day.)All of the high-speed impact debris that I have examined have left significant portions of the original vehicle clearly identifiable and not entirely vaporized. The Silk Air plane hit the water above mach 1. Other identifiable debris I have handled have been from impacts from mach 2.5 to mach 5.None of the 9/11 events involved such high-speed impacts. Therefore, HUGE amounts of clearly identifiable debris should have been recovered from the World Trade Center, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. Otherwise, the official story doesn't make sense.

Was graduated U of Manitoba (Can.) 1950,started career @ Can. Gen Electric (Toronto) Commercial Communications, then 1953 to RCA Commercial Communications, Camden, NJ, design & install long haul systems Mil AUTODIN, pipeline ,rail, Broadcast TV network sys. In 1981 joined MITRE Corp, Bedford MA as Lead Sys Engineer design and acquisition, integration/test airborne Wide Body Presidential assets. This extended to Special Service classified systems in both fixed wing & rotary wing platforms until my retirement in 2004. This career was far beyond EE. I was fortunate to develop expertise in fields of Aeronautical Engineering particularly Vibro Accoustic damage on trans-sonic applications and damage mitigation from nuclear events.
True, both WTC 1 & 2 , North & South structures were impacted by commercial 757's killing innocent passengers, crew & hijackers along with occupants in the building floors at point of impact. The devastation and human loss beyond the impact site was due to other influences because of the proven design and features of the Towers. The temperatures in the impact areas due to burning Jet-A fuel and the office furnishings and business tools could NOT rise to the level of 3000-4000 deg. F necessary to deform and fail structural steel joints and the total collapse of the structures. Such failure could only be caused by man-made features of pyro-technical assets pre-placed by outsiders. Look at the destruction of WTC 7. No aircraft or heavy debris collateral from the Towers struck that building. All destruction was in the classical method of building REMOVAL to make way for new assets.

WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?

I'm an Architect, Engineer and Urban Designer graduated from the Federal University of C'rdoba, Argentina. Today I am living in Brazil. I've been following the investigations about the 9-11 events since the first day. I've followed the investigations of Dr. Steven Earl Jones who was the first to find physical and chemical evidence of explosives for controlled demolition. I found in January of 2002 one of the first blogs in Argentina about the events.
As an Architect I had always been concerned about the way three skyscrapers with resistant methallic structures had fallen by the impact of two airplanes.

They way the towers fell does not follow the laws of physics. Localized asymmetrical damage does not cause symmetrical failure. The way the three buildings collapsed are more controlled than catastrophic failure.

Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means. The American public needs to be informed. We have been caught up in a massive disinformation campaign and are suffering from an identity crisis. We can no longer remain deaf, dumb and blind to this.

I have seen films showing controlled demolitions. But the collaps of building 7 is the most perfect controlled demolition I have ever seen. So symmetric. Building 7 did not collaps due to normal office fires. In Spain and China skyscrapers did not collaps, eventhough the fire was much worse. Don't tell me that american engineers don't know how to construct buildings properly, because I would not believe you. Did building 7 collaps because of shoddy construction work?I doubt it! The authorities would never allow that. We need an investigation!

I have been designing power systems and components for 25 years at various divisions of Lockheed Martin. I was responsible for the design and development of switching power supplies for satellite communication and space shuttle systems at Astro-Space Division in Princeton NJ. I performed detailed design and analysis of high-density DC-to-DC converters. I was involved in all aspects of power converter design including part selection, control loop theory, magnetic design, PSPICE analysis, thermal management and EMI suppression to meet MIL-461. I advanced to a technical lead position at Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems Division in Moorestown, NJ to design power systems for AEGIS shipboard radars. There I defined system architectures to achieve high performance at low cost. I also designed energy storage components to support pulse loads and power distribution configurations for high reliability. I transferred to Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, FL to develop new high-density energy storage capacitors. Prior to Lockheed Martin, I was developing power systems for computer and peripheral commercial products at Formation Inc in Moorestown, NJ. There, I specified AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC power modules for distributed hot swappable (n+1) redundant power systems. I was involved with computing reliability using MIL-HDBK-217F, and assured products met safety agency UL, CSA, and TUV requirements. I have written many papers related to power conversion and system configurations. I have four patents related to power electronics and thermal management systems. I have a BSEE from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.
I believe that on 911 the towers were hit by hijacked planes but it was the thermite activated at the base of the structures that made the building collapse. Building 7, the third tower that fell that day, made it even more obvious.

I have no answers, but there are far too many unanswered questions concerning the engineering details of the events leading to the collapse of three steel and concrete structures - that fell (at near free-fall rates) within their own footprints. How could this happen? No one has come close to answering those questions to the satisfaction of any knowledgeable engineer. It simply 'doesn't compute' to people familiar with the supposed process. I do not believe the stories that were floated - they were 'made up' by people who did not appreciate the information that engineers could extract by studying the videos of 9/11.

BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have extensive experience with CAD and CNC programming, project management and mentoring, new product design and testing, thermocouples and data collection equipment, metal fabrication processes, and heat transfer of various metal applications. I have taken classes in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and have general knowledge and understanding of the physics involved in a building collapse.
I become interested in 9/11 on 9/11/2012. I happened to be watching videos of the attacks online and found a video of building 7 coming down. As I watched the way it collapsed, I knew something didn't look right. As I dug a little deeper into all 3 towers, I began to realize that the official story was anything but true. The observation of molten steel pouring from the towers is particularly interesting to me because I work with steel on a daily basis in a metal fabrication plant. It is deeply troubling that NIST has denied the fact that molten steel was present before, during and after the collapse. The presence of molten steel is evidence that this collapse was not natural since jet fuel can't achieve 2,700 deg. F in open air. Then we saw the pyroclastic-like clouds of pulverized concrete and hot gas mix rise into the air like we saw during the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. We saw buildings coming down at free fall acceleration, symmetrically down to the ground. The discovery of thermite in the dust samples only proves this further. In my opinion NIST and many other organizations and departments have deliberately ignored and covered up the evidence of explosives and molten steel in those buildings. What disturbs me the most is that the scientific and engineering community including my own peers and colleagues, have refused to examine the evidence and have turned their back on the truth. Shame on those who are supposed to be role models and leaders of this country for doing nothing, for fear of damaging their reputation or compromising their wealth or social status. And shame on the members of the media who carry the responsibility of reporting the truth to the American people, but instead have spread lies, disinformation and propaganda. I sincerely hope that more people will join in and fight for the truth. It's the least we can do for all the lives lost on 9/11 and as a result of 9/11.

I remember September 11, 2001 very clearly. I had the day off from working as a substitute teacher and I heard on the radio about something happening in New York City. I turned on the television in time to see both towers on fire. I remember shortly afterwards watching as the first of the towers started crumbling. I screamed at Peter Jennings (ABC News anchor) - who seemed oblivious to the building coming down on the screen behind him - to turn around and see what was happening. When the other tower came down a little while later, I was in complete shock. I stayed glued to the television all that day and remember distinctly commentators talking about another building that they thought would be coming down soon. And, sure enough, it came down. (As I learned later that building was WTC 7.) I was still in shock but I can distinctly remember saying to myself over and over, 'I didn't know buildings came down like that.'I didn't give the subject much thought after that. I remember starting to watch a NOVA documentary 'Why The Towers Fell' like a year after the events. The explanation seemed plausible but it made me feel uncomfortable watching it and I turned it off. A few years later a student told me about the 'Loose Change' video and I showed some parts of the video in my History of World War II class in conjunction with a discussion about the controversy surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor. I remember trying to keep an open mind about the 'Loose Change' video but I was turned off by the sensationalistic nature of the film and the questionability of many of its claims.It wasn't until the summer of 2013 - while I was searching online for documentaries for a class on East Asian Studies that I was preparing - that my eyes were opened to what actually happened on 9/11. I was looking at the website topdocumentaryfilms.com and the site had a Documentary Category called '9/11.' At first I avoided clicking it, thinking there would be more videos like 'Loose Change.' But after about a month I decided to go ahead and click it to see what was there. The first documentary I watched was 'Hy.poth.e.sis' (2010) recounting Prof. Steven Jones's story. I remember saying 'What the f*** is this?' This was nothing like 'Loose Change'! I was immediately hooked and look at all the 9/11 videos on topdocumentaryfilms.com and then went out looking for more. I shortly thereafter found Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth as well as all the good work of so many others. The summer of 2013 was truly an epiphany for me and my life has not been the same ever since. Everything makes much more sense now.

A practicing engineer for 3 decades and an avid student of engineering nearly my entire life, I have analyzed, designed and studied structures of all types, sizes and materials. I have not been directly involved with the design and construction of high rise steel frame, concrete core buildings. However, I have over the years designed steel framed facilities of every sort and have worked on a number of low rise steel and concrete office buildings. I have followed closely the official story of September 11, 2001 with a very keen interest as it pertains to my structural engineering profession.
Since shortly after 9/12/01, I have considered WTC 7 to be an intentional and very well executed controlled demolition. Every bit of evidence I have seen since that day has only solidified this belief. I withheld my opinion about the other WTC buildings until the 'official' building 7 story was released. I had decided that if the NIST report acknowledged the controlled demolition of WTC 7, I would grant latitude to the rest of the report. But it was all or nothing. That is the degree of my certainty about the fate of building 7. The official story of WTC 7 did not conclude it was a controlled demolition. Therefore, I find the entire 'official' NIST report subject to scrutiny. I assume that anything questionable in it is patently false until scientifically proven otherwise to my analytical satisfaction. This is the depth of distrust the building 7 story has created in me.

Numerous physical evidence casts doubt on the official review of the events of 9/11. Because of such discrepancies, the collapse of the buildings on 9/11 warrants further technical review.

I can't believe how scary it is to say it, but it needs to be said: skyscrapers do not fall down at free fall acceleration rates. When the towers fell I was an undergraduate in college and barely into the engineering curriculum. By September 12th I knew something was incredibly wrong.

Video suggests building 7 collapsed due to structural failure at or near ground level and in a totally controlled manner. A normal fire alone could not cause this. I would imagine it is very unlikely aviation fuel in such a quantity from the crashed aircraft would find its way to building 7 and fuel any fire.The adjacent towers had a totally different failure mechanism

It's all a bit creepy. You wouldn't want to think that information on such destruction would be hidden for any reason. But time and time again we have seen the public's interest take a back seat to that of corporations. The government would rather thoroughly investigate the lives of our citizens than revisit the cryptic events surrounding 9/11.

When a thorough job of reviewing the evidence is undertaken, it is obvious that the citizens of the United States and individuals the world over have been misled as to the real cause of the building collapses on 9/11. We need a genuine investigation conducted into the real cause of this tragedy.

The tragedy of 9/11 has been used to drive our nation into war and circumscribe the personal freedoms of the American people. The conclusions of the government investigation do not account for all of the phenomena reported, so the current explanation is incomplete and the investigation must be reopened.

WTC7 is the definitive smoking gun. The rate of fall of all 3 towers is without a doubt impossible to achieve by the airplane strikes and after effects. The fact that the 3 towers fell in a matter of hours is impossible to attribute to the airplane crashes. Witness accounts of explosions and the recordings of radio communications between first responders are further proof of another cause for all 3 of the collapses.

I'm currently co-founder of Prototek Corporation, an R&D company which has been developing technology for underground locating since 1990.
I can accept that the fires in building 7 went unchecked given that the fire department took such a tremendous 'hit' earlier in the day. I could even accept that the frame could be weakened and the structure might lean in a crazy and dangerous manner. But I cannot accept that it would collapse with perfect symmetry in a matter of seconds. It has long been my opinion that the collapse of building 7 is the 'smoking gun' which will eventually unravel the official narrative.

I have been a practicing electronics hardware engineer in the tech field in Silicon Valley ever since receiving a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara. Though the BSEE ultimately focuses on electronics, electronic devices, and materials, like most engineering degrees it also requires significant background study in physics, mechanics, and mathematics to sufficiently ground the recipient in the general discipline of engineering.
You hardly need college physics to show that the mechanics of NIST's collapse model doesn't fit the evidence collected on that day. A simple conservation of energy problem (taught in most high school treatments of mechanics) suffices. Take the twin towers for example: if the tops of the buildings accelerated towards the ground at the rate of free-fall, which I believe has been adequately established through video and seismic analysis, it follows that all of their stored gravitational potential energy is being expended accelerating their mass towards the surface of the earth. From whence came the energy responsible for dismantling the steel support structure below the falling mass then? How can one source of potential simultaneously be totally expended in the acceleration of mass earthward while also providing the energy to pulverize hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel and concrete? It simply can't... and that's one of many reasons why NIST's explanation is totally unacceptable.

I am a licensed professional engineer with over 18 years of industry experience. I have expertise in analyzing and managing risks in information security and privacy, with more recent skills acquired in machine learning. I have a bachelors degree in Systems Design Engineering and a Masters degree in Mathematics (Computer Science).
The collapse of WTC building 7 is unprecedented: a building that collapsed supposedly due to fire and structural damage. The facts regarding WTC7 are compelling; it experienced a duration of free fall, it was a building outside of the main block of the twin towers, and the two buildings next to it experienced only superficial damage. Furthermore, other WTC7 evidence is suggestive, such as eyewitness accounts of explosions and news accounts and first responders as eyewitnesses that indicate foreknowledge of WTC7's collapse with certainty. For these reasons an investigation into the truth of WTC7 is warranted, and that truth weighs on the veracity of other 9/11 information.
