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 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.

The only steel framed skyscrapers to have ever collapsed as a result of a fire were WTC 1, 2, and 7. These buildings were built to withstand the impact of a fully loaded Boeing 707, an aircraft about the same size and weight as the aircraft that hit them on 9/11. Temperatures produced by the fires simply did not reach those required to have a significant impact on the building's structural integrity. Firemen 2 floors beneath the impact area in one building radioed out that the fire was controllable. Obviously he was not confronting a temperature of 2000 degrees only two stories above him. Pictures showed survivors of the impact standing in the hole made by the aircraft. These people wouldn't have been there under the kind of conditions assumed by the official story. Fireman recalled hearing a series of secondary explosions exactly like those that would have been used to cause a controlled demolition and that the collapses looked exactly like that's what happened. WTC 7 was hit by nothing and yet collapsed in the same way as the towers. Molten metal containing sulfur, indicating thermate, remained underneath all three buildings for weeks after 9/11. The structural steel debris was carted away as soon as possible without inspection. Taking pictures of ground zero or even stopping to look at it was made a criminal offense. The impact of the aircraft and the resulting fires could not possibly have caused the twin towers to collapse and saying that the collapse of WTC 7 was due to the impacts is simply absurd.Another thing we were lied to about was the cell phone calls. Cell phone calls at altitude were physically impossible.

My wife and I were horrified as we watched the live news reports of that day, particularly when we saw the second plane hit Tower 2. Over the next few days I continued to watch video replays of Twin Towers 1 & 2 and could not comprehend how both towers could collapse as they did. As a Structural Engineer, it made no sense to me how the structural framing system below the impact level did not continue to support the structure. It was only in the last few weeks, as I researched and found this site, that I found out that building 7 had also collapsed. I agree that it has the classic signs of a controlled demolition. Thanks to all of you who created this site. I am proud to be part of the cause to get congress to conduct a full investigation.

Physics explains how the buildings collapsed. History explains the why. Acknowledging the resources required identifies who. This needn't be technical or complicated, common sense gets to the the same conclusion, it's just hard to accept reality when it's this heinous. Bottom line is, if we can't stop who did this, and bring justice to them, we are too close to being unable to stop what is next.

Degree in Civil Engineering at Utah State University emphasizing in Geo technical Engineering. I have held several intern positions at various firms during my undergraduate work and received my Engineering Intern certification in 2009 and plan to earn my P.E. certification in 2013.
I have concerns about how the buildings collapsed in the manner that they did given the circumstances. I believe that a structural failure of that magnitude should be given much more investigation and inquiry then it received before a conclusion was made by the commission. They way the buildings fell leave many important and pertinent questions unanswered.

In 1970 I traveled across country preaching the LOVE OF GOD to the hippies in every city I traveled through. For the most part they received Jesus openly and eagerly. I landed in southern California, and helped start the Calvalry Chapel and Vineyard outreaches with Lonnie Frisbe (google - hippie preacher- for that story)...(over 1,000 churches now) I don't know what really happened on 9-11 but something stinks....I would like to know the whole truth...I doubt that we ever will....GOD IS LOVE,....AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
Not sure what really happened, but some things just don't add up.... I want to know the truth!!!

I has been perfectly clear to me since shortly after 9/11/2001 that the official story was incorrect. The pancake theory of the building collapses never made any sense to me. Having been aware that one of the defining characteristics of steel is cold, I could not have believed fire melted or weakened the steel in those buildings. Beside that, building 7 clearly appears to be controlled demolition. Any lay observer can see that.

I have never believed that a fire could have caused this damage, not fire alone anyway. As I watched the buildings fall that day, I knew that the fire must have found a source to cause an explosion like that. It seem all too simple to me, get a firecracker, light it, and watch the explosion. Did this happen to building 7, no. How can no one care? If this government had anything to do with this, my family which have almost across the board served the public as teachers, preachers, military, nurses, etc. need to know who is the enemy.

I'm 23, a student at NKU studying for a B.S in political science, and a mother of two beautiful girls. I was fortunate enough to be awakened about the possible truths of 9/11 recently and extremely ready to do my part to see that OUR government does it's part in seeking justice for the true perpitraitors of the 9/11 tradgedy. I have confidence in our constitution as I am very familiar with it and its implications and hope to see liberty prevail for the many precious lives lost and the ones survived by them.
I would believe an architect over a politician any day as they study these sorts of things and politicians study politics (if we're lucky) too many architects have testified that it seems as if it was a controlled demolition that brought the buildings down. I have watched videoes of all three buildings and would also assert a not-so-educated guess that they are probably right.

Most of my technical information is from a Scientific curiosity about everything. My formal education stopped after High School but I have increased my wealth of knowledge through reading and research about the World around me...which I find fascinating Still! I have learned most on my own, not schooling.
My first thought on watching the buildings collapse, was one of wonder! How could they come down just like programmed demolitions which we have seen many many times on TV' They take hours and hours of preparation to achieve that effect, and yet 3 buildings came down in the exact same fashion...just by coincidence? Especially since each building had a different set of circumstances..which should preclude them from reacting the same way.

In past have worked on non-contact (i.e. Infrared et al) means of temperature measurement both in a repair and engineering capacity. Also did calibration on various IR Bands including 'L-Band' which measures flame temperature (many fire departments have devices which use this technology).
I would like to know the NYFD's measurements of flame temperature, whether it was above or below the melting point for steel. Additionally, I would like to add that even if the temperature of the so-called fire was above that, that regardless that much steel would have acted as heat-sink & why doesn't steel melt in all jets?. I suspect thermite, why else would the fire burn for 3 months!
