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 am familiar with all sorts of materials testing - compressive and tensile strength, microscopy, spectroscopy, etc. My undergraduate program especially focused on the chemistry of materials.
I recently re-discovered an interest in the phenomenon known as creep - how a material such as steel under an applied load may fail at temperatures far below melting. I recall a colleague saying 'creep is what caused the buildings to collapse'. Before watching the movie at this website, my biggest concern was how could creep cause such a symmetric collapse? I would expect instead to see the buildings fold at the weakest point(s), instead of falling straight down at nearly free-fall speed. But it is hard to imagine how local heating combined with coincidental insulation failure could cause the necessary uniformity of temperature along the massive steel columns. I enjoyed seeing analysis of the buildings' design, especially the heat sink near the base and other fire-safety measures.

As an engineer (BSEE, Carnegie-Mellon University), it is my professional opinion that all three WTC towers that were destroyed on 9/11 were brought down by controlled demolitions. The evidence supporting this conclusion is abundant. The best evidence includes:' Near free fall acceleration through the path of greatest resistance.' Vertical, symmetrical fall of all three towers.' Very rapid onset of fall.' Compete destruction of all 3 WTC skyscrapers.Only controlled demolition can accomplish these four characteristics.

Both degrees were obtained in the UK which is the country of my birth. I reside with my wife and oldest son in Brooklyn New York.
From my own 30 minute observation of the burning towers, from the south in Battery Park, I noted at the time that the fires were subsiding. The flames were diminished and the smoke was thicker. I left to return to my office on the east side of lower Manhattan on Water Street, believing that I had witnessed the worst of the damage. I did not have sight of the buildings when they collapsed, but have spoken with people who were close to the towers as they collapsed. They all heard explosions as a chain of thuds going off just below the collapsing material at each level.

The official inquiry was not broad enough, and specifically excluded the consideration of deliberate implosion, ie a controlled demolition. Significant physical, video and witness statements evidence exists to support the controlled demolition theory, but has never received a thorough investigation.

If these buildings fell as we are told they did at the speed they did, then I have wasted thousands of dollars and 9 years of education. Looking at hours of historical data on the design and construction of these buildings it would boggle the mind how that much steel disappeared. Also, unlike any other disaster, the crime scene was tampered with and the steel was shipped to China in the dead of night.

While WTC 1 & 2 are not quite as obvious, possibly due to size and scale, WTC 7 is obvious that all supports were removed not only for free fall speed but for level roof-line fall. All supports would have to be removed simultaneously for this type of event.

I have a BS and MS in Materials Science and learned about the properties of steel per laws of physics and chemistry, as did many other engineers. Why are the laws suspended on 9/11 when the WTC towers fell according to the official report signed off by the Department Head of Materials Science at Harvard? If you believe this report, then why are we still allowing people to live and work in skyscrapers constructed with steel and codes prior to 9/11 when the law of physics apparently changed to please the Empire? I would think more engineers would protest this official story as it affects the credibility of their degrees and professional code of ethics.

It is clear that the three towers were brought down by controlled demolition, executed by accomplished experts in the field. Three perfect, free fall velocity, collapses within their own footprint, the goal of every controlled demolition professional but sometimes elusive to the very best practitioners. Three perfectly executed collapses of steel frame buildings in one day, something that has never happened before. The citizens of the United States, and especially the relatives of loved ones who were sacrificed on that day, deserve to know the truth. Continuing to be complicit in this coverup is to leave our design and construction standards suspect to not being able to protect the lives of anyone who enters a steel frame building. If the official narrative were true it would surely be a call to review and GREATLY modify our design and construction standards. Why has this at least not been done?!?

All three buildings clearly and irrefutably show the clear telltale signs of a controlled demolition done by professional. 1) Only three modern steel & glass buildings in the history of modern architecture have collapsed due to fire. Those three buildings all fell on 9/11/2001. The symmetrical collapse of the three buildings is not possible unless the temperature of the fire exceeded the failure rated temp of the structural steel used at the 9/11 building center buildings. 3) The concrete was pulverized into dust with clear explosions being heard by thousands of people. 4) The crime scene was violated and most of the metal was taken immediately away. 5) A proper and simple forensic analysis of the metal has never been done to check for thermate or thermite. 6) No jet fuel-enriched fire can melt structural steel into a molten lava-like liquid state. Thermate, thermite, and special detonation cords were used for the destruction of the three buildings on 9/11.

Initially believing what the Government and media stated about the attacks, but over time in listening to actual eye-witness accounts came to believe that something very sinister happened. Then of course very considered and objective scientists and engineers, principally you folks, examined the remaining evidence and clearly we Americans were bamboozled. On top of all that, there's Silverstein directing the Fire Department to 'just pull it'! So, AE911 Truth, all of you, are truth seekers and heroes - you have found the truth.

The visual evidence alone is irrefutable. Testimony from both eyewitnesses at the scene and expert investigators in the AE911Truth documentary further reinforces the hypothesis that thermal incendiary materials and explosives were partially, if not entirely, responsible for the collapse of the buildings, and that the buildings could not have collapsed in the manner they did without being engineered to do so. There are no other instances that I have seen of buildings collapsing in this manner unless they were being demolished in a controlled environment.

Based on my experience, both practical and educational, there is no doubt in my mind that foul play is present in every aspect of the government-sponsored analysis of the events of 9/11. A new investigation must be conducted. Further Congressional hearings should be called. The people who instigated this nation's biggest tragedy must be brought to justice. The public has been lied to, and we deserve to know the truth.

I hold a BSEE from the U of Colorado. Most of my career was spent working for FAA, as an electronics engineer, for 23 years. My work included installation, testing, optimizing and integrating into the National Air Space System, of a wide variety of equipment, mostly RADAR and RADAR Automation. I also worked for Dr. Eugene Mallove, a former MIT engineering professor, investigating anomalous energy devices and related claims, for two years. I am now retired.
I was in the Memphis Airport Traffic Control Tower on 9/11/01 and watched events unfold on television, and watched traffic all pointed into the center of the scope, as the ground stop was issued. When I saw WTC 1 & 2 collapse, I simply could not believe what I was seeing, but I could not imagine what else to believe, besides what was apparent. It took a technician to tell me years later about ae911.org, who asked me to view the evidence and give him my evaluation. I viewed it, but I refused to offer him my opinion, because it was such a serious matter. I could not see any possibility other than controlled demolition, and I scrambled to figure out ways to evaluate. I contacted a colleague who had left FAA and become a professor. He told me that it was controlled demolition and that he could not talk to me. He and his colleagues had become convinced of the controlled demolition explanation and were threatened with termination if they did not scrub all such information from their professional and personal websites. He told me that we could not talk about it. I persisted and he cut me off completely. Even after that, I refused to reach a conclusion. I consulted with everyone who would talk to me. Evasion was the general rule. Nobody likes to be quoted on a controlled demolition opinion.I actually did not reach a conclusion until I simply could find no way to remain skeptical. The implications are so staggering. The nanothermite paper knocked my skeptical legs out from under me. I sent a copy to a retired LANL scientist I knew, and his commentary was evasive. It was David Chandler who sealed it. I knew how stable the timing of video recordings must be. I understood the basic physics quite well. I went to sleep on countless nights trying to imagine some way that a collapse could happen so fast prosaically, but there is no escape from realizing that the structure had to be removed from its job of providing support, and it had to be done in a very coordinated fashion, and it had to be done faster than free-fall acceleration would dictate. Controlled demolition is clearly the only possibility. I had worked in new ATC tower constructions. I knew about fire protection of beams and access through elevator shafts. It did not seem like much of a stretch to have a team applying nanothermite to the steel structure. The fact that such exotic material is not generally available points a straight finger at a short list of suspects, as Kevin Ryan did so much to elucidate.

I am totally amazed by how the towers free-felled like an ordinary demolition where you remove all the support structure at exactly the right time. That is also the case of building 7. which Larry Silverstein (The controller of the destroyed WTC complex) stated was pulled with the help of FDNY. And the fact that BBC had prior knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 and reported of its collapse 20 minutes before it actually happened.

My aunt, Dale Sztejnberg, was working in the upper floors of the WTC tower on the morning of 9/11. She was killed in the explosion. My family came to the US from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s, leaving a country built on lies top to bottom, for one we knew was built on truth and justice. It's horrifying to deal with the death of a family member, along with the deaths of thousands of other innocent people, at the hands of our new homeland. I need to know who destroyed these buildings.

I fully agree that a new investigation must be made, and at this time, take into account the evidences discarded by NIST, like as use of explosives and the more than obvious 'controlled demolition'. - The total collapse of a building, caused by the rupture of one of the columns of internal support is technically impossible to occur under normal conditions. - Here in Brazil, we had catastrophic fires, such as the buildings Joelma in Sao Paulo and Andorinhas in Rio de Janeiro. Both burned for many hours and not collapsed.

I passed that exam and obtained my Professional Engineering license for the State of Washington. I am now retired.
I watched in awe on 9/11. I was shocked to see the symmetrical and precise collapse of the two towers. My doubt was reinforced after I considered the asymmetrical impact of a massive and heavily loaded airliner. Even with the tremendous momentum that had to be absorbed by those collisions, I still felt that the towers should have collapsed in the direction of the impact. In any case, the collapse of the buildings should have been asymmetrical. I began to accept the unfathomable belief that the administration was involved. After seeing the precision with which building 7 collapsed, I was horrified. To top this off I was amazed at the lack of concern that President Bush displayed upon hearing of such massive destruction while visiting the classroom. It was as though he was acknowledging that fact that the 'operation' was underway. I was terrified by my conclusion. It is unbelievable that a group of individuals would have such callous disregard for human life and property that they would pursue such an undertaking.

From the photographs, I can observe hundreds of full-length girders being flung up and out around the tops of the buildings. No plausible official explanation explains this phenomenon as a product of collision of fires at lower levels; i.e., implosion due to the force of gravity could not have made the top explode. Furthermore, I observe white-hot molten metal pouring out of some of the openings; jet-fuel fires cannot melt metals to white-hot temperatures, especially with the preponderance of black smoke, which connotes oxygen-poor flames.

I graduated from Bergen University College in 1990 as a building engineer. I studied subjects like: Steel structures, Concrete structures, General dimensioning and structural analysis, Wooden structures, Housing construction, Road construction and design, Water supply, sewage and waste management, and also other subjects, including of course university level mathematics, physics, and characteristics of structural building materials.Since graduation, I have worked for some time with general road design, but mainly with planning and design of public transport systems, facilities for bus systems and terminals, and I have extensive experience in designing Light Rail systems.
The way the twin towers collapsed is not consistent with general knowledge of steel and concrete structures. If a building were to collapse, the rubble would have been multiple layers of concrete floors on the ground, not an enormous cloud of pulverized concrete dust. The tremendous dimensions, and thus strength of the steel columns used in this structure, is sufficient to hold three or four times the actual weight of the structure. There is no way these would either bend nor break in a collapse under normal circumstances. To do this, they had to be subject to very large and rapid quantities of energy (heat), throughout the whole vertical structure, almost simultaneously. As is the case in a controlled and carefully orchestrated demolition.

Since it has been proven by technical people, that the official explanation is an enormous lie, and ordinary people still do not get it, then the focus must shift to the psychological aspect of how to explain the official lie, so everyone gets it.

I believe all the official stories about what happened on 9/11, particularly with regard to the collapse of the three buildings, are patently false, evidenced by application of the facts. I am appalled that the all the metal beams and other locations of metal, including molten metal, did not go through thorough metallurgical testing and failure analysis. Plane crashes and other accidents or failure events receive full analysis, with no stone left unturned. Here we have the largest metallurgical disaster/attack in our nation's history and the analysis and investigation has been woefully inept. We may never know fully what happened because much of the evidence was destroyed rather quickly after the event. With what I do know, it appears as if these buildings collapsed with the assistance of timed demolition. A thorough independent official investigation has not happened yet and must happen in order to glean as much truth about this major event as possible. The integrity of our nation depends upon this and the responsibility to our nation's citizens demands it.

These projects are located in Indonesia and overseas such as, Philipines, Australia and Dubai-United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. My experiences also including design checking and reviewing for damaged structure, value engineering, as a post earthquake structural assessor and some experiences in inspections including anti terror barrier wall execution work and visual investigation for Very Important Buildings such as embassies in Indonesia including Australian, American, New Zealand, Dutch and Japan Embassy.
After I have see all the evidence provided either by this organization or other source I don't believe at all the main causes of the twin tower is because of fire. About building 7? it is just a joke to say it is collapse because of debris from the twin tower

Never really knew/believed so much in a 'possible planned activity' until I came across 'ReThink911' today.I am not in a position to deny the justifications placed by all the scientist and engineers here.Although not an expert as many others here, but I did wonder what if '9/11' was not only what was projected to the mass. What may have caused this and why? And where does this all ends?Who's got a complete answer and would the world be ever a safer place to live?

I am by no means convinced on professional grounds that collapse of WTC buildings resulted from weakening of their steel frame structures (their buckling) due to fires as declared by NIST. The publicly available evidence, mainly photographic, deliver premises that the primary technical cause of the collapse was explosion/-ns (controlled demolition), this especially concerns WTC 7 building in my opinion.

I have practiced structural engineering since 2005. I perform analytical calculations in the design of residential, commercial and military type structures. I have experience with concrete, timber, masonry, light gauge steel, structural steel design and structural observation in both new and existing structures.
I have always questioned the way the towers dropped to the ground. Based on my military background and my engineering experience, I doubt that the progressive collapse was caused purely by the impact and explosion of the aircraft.

I have been a Principal with this firm for ten years and I now head the structural dept. I have worked with almost all structural materials and building types over the years, excluding high rise construction.
The 9/11 damage at the Pentagon initially piqued my skepticism. Reading accounts of what happened there led me to read accounts of what occurred in NYC at the twin towers and then building 7. My opinion is that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. By whom? I don't know. Why? I don't know, but following the money probably will provide the best explanation.

In my professional opinion, the NIST reports on the collapse of WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 on 9/11 do not explain a number of observed and measured items. These include but are not limited to: the acceleration of the buildings during collapse, the sudden and complete collapse of the buildings, the presence of molten steel, and the presence of thermite.

There is so much evidence that conflicts with the official government explanation; it demands that the government must be challenged.
