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 found out that the way all three buildings colapsed, symmetrically and turning everything into dust, including reinforced concrete, is inpossible due to impact load of the planes or due to fire because the building structures are symmetrical and the loads are NOT. The official version contradicts sharply with the laws of conservation of energy.

Structural steel cannot be melted in an open air fire using hydrocarbon fuels. WTC 1, 2, and 7 could not have collapsed at a free fall rate without the aid of sequenced explosives and a demolition team. No serious argument to explain the collapse of these structures has been put forward by any city, state, or federal government agency.

I have practiced small-scale commercial and residential building and/or architecture for thirty five years. More recently, I have taught Architectural Design at our local Community College.
Everyone who has completed an accredited Architectural program has studied physics, properties of materials, and statics as minimum conditions of receiving a baccalaureate degree. Engineering students receive an even more rigorous education and training. As a licensed Architect or engineer we have received practical experience and relatively rigorous testing. If we can suspend our belief systems, and look at this event as a set of physical causes and effects, we will find much evidence to hypothesize causes other than those expressed by the Official reports of what occurred on September 11, 2001. For my part, I am expecting information at the level at which I was trained and tested in order to have the right and privilege to practice Architecture California.

I am a British architect of 25 years standing. I have studied the events of 9/11 for several years and discussed it with fellow professionals. I am not a structural engineering expert, but I do find the official explanations of what happened at both the WTC complex in NYC highly implausible.
I am concerned that the buildings collapsed too neatly and didn't topple over. I believe that controlled demolition was involved. I attended a conference where a janitor from the WTC claimed he heard explosions in the basement prior to the collapses. I cannot fathom how WTC7 could collapse due to a fire.

In the years after 911 events, I thought that all I read in professional reviews and French newspapers was true. The first time I understood that it was impossible was when I saw a film about the collapse of WTC7. I have seen before a controlled demolition of a flat near Paris, and it was the same ! I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

I am a chemical and environmental engineer and I attended the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, a school that is highly recognized all over the world. I have designed industrial structures as part of chemical engineering, and have done engineering consulting for many years.
Jet fuel's capability is to create instant heat that can be immediately converted to mechanical energy. It does not have staying power as opposed to heavier organics like tar that hang around and help things burn. Jet fuel can help start a fire but it cannot be the the fuel that continues to burn something for a long time. So the world trade centers did not have jet fuel burning in them; it was merely office fires after the initial explosion. There was nothing capable of heating giant massive thick beams throughout the length of the towers or at any single point to cause the observed collapses. Only a controlled demolition can do what was seen and what was heard as well - multiple explosions, way past the jet strikes.

Arturo Moreno is an educator and designer living and working in the Kansai area of Japan. He was trained as an architect and completed his studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. He has worked in the offices of architectural professionals in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas. His work has included residential, commercial, institutional and urban design. Additionally, he is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces.
Without the aid of having done much research into the phenomena of the collapse of World Trade Centers 1 & 2, I have held a sense of surprise that the buildings essentially collapsed into their own footprints. It strikes me as unlikely that neither of the two towers would only partially collapse, partially fail or topple away rather than drop in identical fashion. During the 1993 bombing event, I was concerned for loved ones who worked in the financial district. Their workplaces were not in the towers themselves, but in the surrounding neighborhood. I was expecting the possibility of a toppling tower damaging or destroying several nearby buildings. The fact that not one, but two towers did not fall this way appears to be somewhat improbable. - - Further research has alerted me to the collapse of Building 7. How the events of the collapse of this building missed the sustained attention of 9/11 commission and the researchers from NIST seems to be without satisfactory explanation. This event alone should warrant further inquiry by all who are aware of it. - - Every day, there seems to be more evidence and revelations that do not square with the official explanation. In my mind, the official reports and studies seem inadequate at best.

1.A building as WTC can't get down in only 7 seconds ! 2.The steel columns can't crash as concrete. 3.Steel can't melt from Kerosene fire .4. A building as WTC could have sustained a plane crash just because of it's structural steel structure that is sustainable5. The buildings crash to fast , only from so called plane fires 6. It's irrational to think the towers can collapse vertically when they where so called hit from planes from sides.

I've long been concerned by the speed and thoroughness of the collapse of the three WTC towers. If high-rise steel structures could collapse from fire alone, I can't imagine that most people would feel comfortable stepping foot in one. I appreciate what AE911Truth is doing to raise awareness about building 7 because it is the key.

I hold active licenses in most midwest states and other states from coast to coast. I am also currently working on many projects in Haiti including schools, clinics, churches and hospitals.
With my extensive acquired knowledge and practical experience in structural engineering design (over 39 years), I have always doubted the official reports regarding the cause of the collapses of the WTC site buildings. I wholeheartedly sign the petition to open the investigation with an unbiased, objective review regardless of where the conclusions may lead. This petition with the credentials of the professional signers may be unprecedented in modern history.

One of the government's most commonly stated missions is to protect its citizens. Regarding 9/11, this duty would certainly include understanding the true root cause of the destruction in New York City that day...for all three buildings. For NIST and the government to assume that combustion of office materials in a small area of the building caused the symmetrical collapse of Tower 7 is simply irresponsible. It also demonstrates absolute neglect in their duty to protect its citizens from attack. If terrorists could fly planes into WTC 1 and 2, could they not have wired tower 7 for demolition? Shouldn't we be absolutely sure that's not what happened? Looking at the collapse, nobody can deny that it appears to be controlled demolition. So the next question is, who wired the building? The refusal by NIST to test for residues of explosives is beyond belief.

Maybe it won't be ever possible to know who was behind the terrorist attack in the saddest day in the history of the USA, but every person who analyzes carefully the evidence exposed by A&E for 9/11 truth and other groups dealing with the issue, can conclude by him or herself that the official version is not only incomplete but strongly biased in order to avoid the knowing of the truth. Physics can't be corrupted by money.

I am now sort of an, 'all-purpose' or 'jack-of-all-trades' engineer, working mostly with the hydraulic and mechanical systems used in the flight controls of major commercial airliners. I'm one of the few privileged engineers who is able to connect together the design and development of a brand new primary flight control system to the full rate production of a new aircraft.
I would like to know the truth of what happened on 9/11 to cause the destruction of three skyscrapers. To this day I have not been informed sufficiently to know what really happened, or why. The publicly accepted reason for the collapse of the twin towers is an insufficient explanation. For the collapse of two modern steel structures to be caused by fire and burning jet fuel in such a controlled manner in such a short time span doesn't make sense to me. I suspect that governmental agencies may have been involved, providing me with false information about such a monumental event affecting American policy and law. I support the demand for a thorough, unbiased, truth-focused investigation using only evidence as a means to understanding these events.

I have always wondered why the towers didn't topple over at the weakened points where the planes hit them, if they were going to fall at all. If the planes and fires had actually caused the collapse, the buildings would have toppled over, not fallen symmetrically straight down at free fall acceleration.

I've worked in Spain and Taiwan, and I now have my own business in the US.
It was clearly a controlled demolition in all 3 buildings: WTC 1, 2, and 7. Nothing can drop to earth at the same acceleration as the acceleration due to gravity, if it has 50,000 tonnes of steel and concrete beneath it, between it and the earth. The top portion of each of the WTC twin towers fell at freefall acceleration and hit the earth in freefall time. This is a scientific impossibility under normal circumstances obeying the physical and scientific laws of nature. The only way this could physically happen following the physical and scientific laws of nature, the way we see it occur, is if the remaining portions of the buildings (floors 1~90) below the impact points, were invisible or just simply not there at all to begin with, so that when the top portion of each building began to collapse, so they could reach the earth, from the height they were at, in the time it took to reach the earth, in just under 10 seconds, is if there was absolutely nothing at all except thin air between the top portion of each twin tower and the earth. Except the floors 1~90 were there; they were not invisible. Therefore the only logical explanation is if the 50,000 tonnes of steel and concrete of floors 1~90 must have been intentionally removed out of the way extremely fast enough, such as to allow the top portions of the twin towers to reach earth at freefall acceleration from the height they were at, in just under 10 seconds. Thus, by deductive reasoning, the only possible explanation, to allow this to happen, is if the 50,000 tonnes of steel and concrete of floors 1~90 must have been intentionally demolished and pulverized in a controlled demolition by either extremely potent explosives or by some sort of high energy weapon, that basically disintegrated the 50,000 tonnes of steel and concrete of floors 1~90, which would then allow the top portions of the twin towers to reach earth at freefall acceleration, from the height they were at, in just under 10 seconds. The exact same phenomenon is the only logical explanation that would explain the collapse of WTC 7, i.e. a controlled demolition of building WTC 7, which also collapsed at freefall acceleration, even though it was never hit by an airplane.

It is obvious to a blind man that building 7 did not collapse due to office fires.

Having studied the destruction of Building 7 and the twin towers, I am 100% convinced that the official explanation from NIST does not add up. All three buildings were brought down by controlled demolition.

The blatant evidence of controlled demolition of WTC7, destruction of evidence, obvious lies by public officials, and many, many, other things are ignored by a government that purports to represent the people of this country.

All the evidence showed in the media are contradictory to the logic and to the basic scientific thinking. The towers collapse can, in no way, be due to collisions with aircrafts. Any person who studied elementary physics would have hard time believing that the Pentagon damage was due to an airplane attack on 911.

Any scientific investigation should take into account any 'new' evidence uncovered after any initial report/conclusions. I would highly recommend (demand) that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reassess the additional 'new' evidence (bone fragments, microscopic spheres etc.) and share their new conclusions. I would also highly recommend (demand) that the new re-investigation include independent professional engineers/architects.
