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.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

Just to put it simple: A man is found shot through the heart. As a starting point the police considers the case as a traffic accident and begins to make it probable that the man is a victim of such, as declaring that no signs of a crime can be observed. The American people and the rest of the world have now for almost 20 years witnessed this odd variety of rule of law exercise resulting in the horrific consequences for the USA and the world that the war on terror has brought about.

Today, we can not ignore that a significant part of public opinion in the world does not believe in the official explanation on 911 events. Recent polls indicated it clearly. Partitioned initially on the Internet, the challenge appears increasingly in the mainstream media. This global movement is often opposed by sociological approach not based on the analysis of the facts, but on subjective or dogmatic considerations. Our Western society make a premise on a rational approach to reality. As such, it can not be the economy of a technical and public debate on the events of 11 September 2001. To those who complain extreme use of the principle of the doubt', we remember their words of Age of Enlightenment French philosopher Ren' Descartes : If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

A few years ago I saw a youtube video that shows that the BBC actually reported the collapse of building 7, 25 minuets before it actually collapsed. I did not even know what Building 7 was then, so I researched it, and that is when I knew that the official story did not add up. Building 7 was not hit by an airplane, yet it collapsed in an unprecedented fashion. The media kept did not report on it after 9/11, and it was not even included in the 9/11 commission report! That is enough to ask the question: What REALLY happened on 9/11?

As an Engineer I find the Official Story repulsive and reprehensible. I further find it upsetting that the real story has not been introduced to the public and has not even been approached by the media. This can only be seen as a cover up. Science does not confirm the Official Story but does confirm Controlled Demolition, especially in Building 7.

The theory that the towers came down through office fires is not plausible and incoherent. It does not agree with our knowledge of steel structures. When a scientific theory is rejected by a substantial number of your colleagues, one cannot simply ignore this and pretend to go on as usual. Within the academic world, such an attitude is considered unscientific. Within our post-911 world this attitude is primarily seen as immoral. It is clear that the people want that we stop and account for what has happened. So far, they feel this has not been done. If this is the will of the people, then there ought to be a follow-up. It is indeed a decision between going on and stopping. It is truly a paradox. When we decide to go on as usual our future will come to a halt. Yet, when we stop now and provide an account, a new and certain future will open up that is based on their trust and confidence.

I watched the video ''AE911 Experts Speak out'' and from the arguments presented I strongly believe the disaster must have been caused by explosives, ''controlled demolition''. At the very least the covering of evidence and most likely erroneous report from NIST, in addition with the controversy in scientific reports between NIST and AE911 experts calls for an immediate proper investigation of the matter for fear it might repeat itself and for justice of the victims and their families.

On 9/11/2001, I noticed on TV that the plane hitting the south tower ignited the very instant the nose hit the building. How strange I thought, as the fuel is supposed to be inside the wings. I think that not only Americans, but people all over the world, deserve a more accurate explanation than the official theory. The work done by AE911truth is the most scientific, objective and open discussion that I know.

Graduated Syracuse University, BSME, 1966. I have over 36 years of mechanical design and development experience with both commercial and military equipment manufacturing companies. This experience includes the design of complex electro-mechanical devices, hydraulic systems and controls, centrifugal pumps and miscellaneous mining and construction equipment. These activities have included design of machined detail parts, structural steel weldments, castings and forgings and the specifying of high strength steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloys, non-metallic materials, casting and forging processes, heat treatments, manufacturing processes and protective finishes. I have also developed test procedures, monitored product testing and written numerous test reports including detailed analysis of product reliability issues and failures. Additionally I have prepared design specifications and managed component development projects from concept to production. Though now semi-retired, I work part time as a licensed residential home inspector in the state of North Carolina.
The available video, audio and eye witness evidence abundantly demonstrates that the three primary WTC skyscrapers which collapsed on September 11, 2001, could not have fallen as a result of either aircraft impact or due to the relatively low temperatures generated by hydrocarbon fuel and/or office furniture fires. The free fall nature of these collapses coupled with the very high heat indicated by molten metal observed falling from the buildings and at ground zero is indicative of mechanisms using very high temperature incendiary devices. These must have been carefully pre-installed and then sequentially detonated in order to sever primary structure within these buildings thus enabling precipitous and uniform collapse. Numerous other evidence supports this theory including eye-witness accounts of explosions occurring immediately prior to and during these collapses, the complete and total pulverization of tons of steel, concrete, office furniture and human bodies which occurred during this event and the completely burned out hulks of automobiles and other vehicles parked near these buildings at ground zero. Such sequential explosions, elevated temperatures and total destruction could not be the result of building collapses initiated by impact and very localized fire and then completed by the force of gravity alone. Further the collapse of these three buildings visually models precisely the speed and uniform collapse of steel-framed high rise buildings intentionally destroyed by controlled demolition.

I want more research to explain what happened, at least with WTC 7. The video of its collapse doesn't seem to agree with what we are being told. My experience with structural steel in heavy machinery is that it would more likely yield than fracture and I don't think it would free fall.

It is blatantly obvious that all three buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. The buildings were structurally sound and there wasn't any propellant present to create enough heat to melt steel except those propellants added by the people that planted the explosive charges. The jet fuel would have burned off pretty quickly and the subsequent building fire would have been controlled by NYFD. No similar building has ever collapsed due to fire. There is also no proof that the hijacked planes were the ones that flew into the buildings.

There is irrefutably mounting evidence and speculation that indicates the media reporting on the attacks were misinformed, biased, and in some cases outright wrong. There appears to be more reason than not to open this case to the light of independent scrutiny and must be examined and reported accordingly.

Watching the 9/11 commission and the politics surrounding it caused me to question the answers that came from it. As an engineer who understands the fundamentals of science, I can't imagine how fire brought down Building 7. If Building 7 fell due to something other than fire, then questions regarding the other buildings come into play. I demand a proper investigation into 9/11!

I am a mechanical engineer with a Master of Science degree, a Professional Engineer license in State of California, and 32 years of working experience. I do not have experience with building structures, but I still find the explanations for the symmetrical collapse of building 7 (fire and vibration) to be unacceptable.
The Building 7 collapse is very suspicious, and the lack of a much more thorough and transparent investigation is not acceptable. The people that are chosen for carrying out an investigation must be selected by a public voting process, not by the political figures who may have a different agenda.

Basic laws of mathematics, engineering and physics are clearly broken if we follow the mainstream narrative. Steel structure collapse has NEVER happened due to sky scraper fires, especially since previous fires were much more severe and rendered zero collapses. Focus on Building 7 - it is the key - it is impossible to have discussions open to debate about this building. Focus on Larry Silverstien - he is also the key and has provided conflicting and closed responses when pressured during interviews from such excellent reporters as Luke Rudkowski. Finally the BBC release stating that building 7 had collapsed when it was still standing behind Jane Standley, and the official explanation provided by the BBC when questioned is enough evidence to show that the public is not being disclosed the full story, and therefore is not being allowed to hold to account the real responsible parties.

In addition, I have spent 3 years doing structural retrofitting of large warehouses in order to bring them up to code and increase their hurricane wind resistance.
I do not have enough experience to dissect and double check all of the original structural calculations of the towers. However I do thoroughly understand the laws of physics, building geometry, and materials of construction, and I agree with many other engineers' opinions that the towers would not fall the way they did from a single impact. I thoroughly believe that the towers came down due to controlled demolition.

Since the first time I saw first footages that day (I was 17), my thought was that the way the towers came down was very strange. Now I think, as lot of you, to know exactly why. At 15 years of distance we sadly learn that 9-11 was the beginning of a worldwide war escalation and the WTC was a way like any other to prepare people for that. Also the demolition of towers has been big bussiness for few.

I have also conducted technical seminars regarding design, operation and troubleshooting of ventilation systems. I am known to have the ability to explain complex technical subjects to non engineers (plant personnel) in simple language. I'm perfectly fluent in English and Spanish.
From the day 9/11 happened, my intuition was that the twin towers could not collapse the way they did without explosives. These buildings did not fall, they clearly exploded. As for building 7, it's almost comical how Mr. Shyam Sunder from NIST is able to keep a straight face when presenting the official story. He's likely the best paid actor in the acting business. Or his knowledge of this subject can be used to put all of the demolition companies and experts out of business.

I have over 30 years continuous experience as an electronic engineer and engineering manager in the field of communications. I also had 8 years of employment in the federal government and a variety of companies in the electronics field, in the Washington area, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. I'm currently retired.
I had never heard of WTC 7 until it was pointed out to me casually by a friend several years ago. That started my personal journey of investigation and awakening. The technical evidence for the controlled demolition of WTC 7 is convincing and undeniable.

I attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville where I majored in Civil & Environmental Engineering and received a BS degree in 1975 and MS in 1977. I worked primarily for environmental regulatory agencies of the State of Tennessee in the areas of coal mining regulation focusing on water impacts and solid and hazardous waste. I retired in 2013.
From everything I have read (and I have been interested in this from the beginning and have read quite a bit) I seriously doubt that the impact of the planes or fires resulting from the plane crashes caused the collapse of the towers. A diesel fire just doesn't burn hot enough and not nearly enough heat near the top would be transmitted to the bottom of the support columns to cause significant weakening. Even in the unlikely event that a weakening and collapse of part of the structure started near the top, the lower structure would most likely retain enough strength to resist a 'pancake' type collapse. And if one accepts that the structure could collapse under the weight of the upper levels, it would be a slow, uneven collapse, not the 'free fall' type collapse that occurred. Such an event would only result from explosive charges placed throughout the building as in a controlled demolition which this most certainly was. And the fine pulverization of the structures also points to use of massive amounts of explosives rather than a slow collapse.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering, with a major in Structural Engineering. I work as a project manager/engineer in the structural steel industry. I design and build large structural steel buildings for a living.
How the 3 towers failed defies the science and rules which we practice under as a profession. With respect to the future growth of knowledge, this event needs to be investigated correctly. We need to determine how the science of structural engineering and material properties seemed to stop being valid for that 1 day, for those 3 buildings.
