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.

Author of THE 9/11 CRUSADE - A FACT BASED NOVEL. Researched the ongoing debate concerning obvious problems with conclusions of the Report of the 9/11 Commission. Realizing the vast majority of Americans were ignorant of the debate, I wrote the novel in hopes that through dialogue between the characters, problems with the official explanation could be analyzed and summarized in an easily understood presentation. The 7 pages of reference notes at the end of novel are duplicated on the website with direct links to referenced websites.
FROM THE NOVEL: Sid was incredulous. 'Marty, how do they explain that the massive inner columns just disappeared. I mean, come on, if the trusses and girders had failed, allowing the floors to fall, those central column beams would have been left standing. You'd have these skeletal remains still standing. I can't believe anyone would believe this story. 'Are they giving the same reason for both towers collapsing? I mean come on. The first tower hit might, and I don't really believe it, but might be able to collapse this way. But the second tower hit, the first to fall, probably had little damage to the central core. Hell most of the fuel from that aircraft seemed to fly out the side of the building based upon that incredible fireball. The second plane only caught the corner of the outer wall. I doubt there was any real damage done to most of the core. Certainly not enough to, in any way, conform to that story of pancaking floors.' Marty agreed, 'Exactly. Now you understand the problem.'

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

I have seen on TV commercial buildings collapse under controlled demolition prior to 911. I have been told that no certified US demolition companies will comment officially on 911. I personally saw and heard in real time 2 firemen (one dirty and exhausted, seated outside on a low brick garden wall) and another just reporting for action - nice and clean. Both were looking at Building 7 in the near background (1 block?) away and to the question for the exhausted one by the fresh one regarding its status the exhausted one looked at his watch and said as clearly as I can remember, Its going down about 4:30! I didn't think too much about it at the time but now I think about it a lot whenever 911 comes up!

Metallurgy/Material Science - have worked in the welding and fabrication industry for over 25 years.
From the moment I saw the towers fall I could not believe that the impact from a plane could cause those towers to fall straight down as they did. Being involved in the metal fabrication industry it was impossible for those towers to free fall as they did with little to no resistance. It was a perfect demolition job and not a result of pancaking floors - the building fell straight down as if the structural steel frame holding it all together was completely compromised. I am shocked that it has taken this long for the truth of what actually happened to begin to surface.

Even though it may not be easy to see at first glance, it becomes quite obvious that the official story we have been told by the mainstream media about the nature of the collapses is a lie, once you look behind the curtain of mainstream media reports. ae911truth comprehensibly summarizes pretty much all scientific aspects of the truth, so I just want to focus on a few specific features of the collapses. There are major indications why all 3 buildings - the 2 trade centers and building 7 - could not have collapsed the way we were told by the official sources: - Unresisted, near free fall speed of all three buildings - Symmetric nature of all collapses - Pulverization of almost the entire building with a complete disintegration of the inner steel core structure Many trustworthy sources indicate that it is highly questionable if the fires had the capacity at all to weaken the central steel structure in the affected sections of the buildings. Let us still assume that the claim of the fires to have weakened the steel structure around the fires, which initiated the collapse, is correct and that a pancaking of the floors occurred as a result. For the following reasons this theory cannot explain the above mentioned characteristics: - The lower structures of the building, with the strong steel core in the middle, were entirely intact and should have generated SOME KIND of resistance for the falling upper sections. This would have resulted in a significant and measurable delay during the collapse. Yet, free fall speed is only possible if the entire supporting structure is simultaneously destructed. - The structure of the WTCs was such that the different floors were mounted between the outer wall mesh and the steel core. A pancaking of floors would not only have been much slower than free fall speed, but would have resulted in a partially remaining steel core structure, which very likely would have leaned to one side eventually and tilt, rather than simply disint

I have worked in performance improvement a lot and failure is a key part of this process. I'm presently an engineering consultant.
The fall of WTC 7 is close to free fall. The building remains do not resemeble remains from fire, but rather collapse from other things. As soon as a person begins to look at 911 using basic physics, analysis of gravity and inspection of remains, it becomes clear that there are questions which are not answered by the offical government report. These questions have now been left unanswered for many years, reducing the ability of a whole society to learn from this occurrence. Engineering is about answering key stakeholder questions, because it enables organizations and society to learn. These questions need transparency and accountability so that we can understand what was successful and what failed. By not answering these questions, we are skipping society's learning and therefore accepting that society is more likely to repeat this failure. Therefore with time, it becomes increasingly important to search for answers.

9/11 physics elementary points: 1) In the case of the ''North' ''Tower': Without the assistance of demolition, it is physically impossible for the top 10 floors of structure above the damage zone to destroy the lower 90 floors of intact structure, given the lower structure is of the same material if not a stronger one. The maximum that a 10 floors section can destroy by an impact's dynamic load, assuming that it has been given enough distance to build up enough kinetic energy, would still not exceed 10 floors before itself gets consumed in the process. Hence such a collapse is expected to be arrested. 2) In Building 7: Without the help of demolition, it is physically impossible for a structural failure progressing from top to bottom to have an acceleration equal or close to the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/ss). This was clearly witnessed in the collapse of building 7 for a complete 2.5 seconds of the event (refer to Mr David chandler's graphical computation of the speed of fall on youtube). 3) The damage and fire from the impacting aeroplane was to one side of the twin tower. So if fire was to cause the weakening or melting of the structural steel core, then it would not have been symmetrical across the entire cross section of the building causing a simultaneous collapse. Rather it would be a pitching case, such as tipping and falling to the side. The symmetrical collapse of the building onto its footprint can only be explained by the process of controlled demolition. 4) Weeks after 9/11, red glowing molten steel was seen in the rubble measuring around 2000 Degrees Celsius. No uncontrolled hydrocarbon fire can cause such temperatures let alone an oxygen starved office fire. This can only be the result of incendiary devices used in the process of demolition.

The WTC destruction changed world politics and gave reasons for politicians to develop very harsh and expensive anti terrorism actions worldwide. It's important for the public to see if these policies, that had and still have very intrusive negative consequences for many world citizens, were based on genuine information and were sound decisions. The public community has the right to have doubts. It is up to authorities to provide valid and strong argumentation to counter these doubts and bring acceptance to the public.

I have a professional career that has spanned many industries. I was an intern at American Airlines at the time of 9/11. I was a flight operations avionics engineer working at the maintenance operations center which oversaw all the planes that were in service. I worked as a field engineer in the west Texas oil fields after college. I transitioned into working on power distribution for the local utility in Chicago. Then I got into the nuclear power industry as a controls engineer. My next stop was working at an architecture/engineering firm in the building automation space. I have been inside the guts of many facilities and worked alongside plenty of architects and other engineers. I have since moved on to the operations side where I work for a RE services company that performs facility management. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology, with a minor in Philosophy. I have an MS in Engineering Management from Northwestern University. I am a licensed PE in Illinois.
My interest in this is not to find out about some conspiracy regarding some powerful entity that wronged so many people, but I am more concerned about the industry not learning anything from such a tragedy. We had three catastrophic engineering failures occur in less then 12hrs and I imagine that little has changed in the building code or the principles with which we design these structures. If a trauma and fire took down both towers so quickly, what failed? It sounds like we do not have a good answer that we can improve future buildings with.

I am simply appalled at the destruction of the three towers on 9/11. I can honestly say I had no idea there was a third building involved. The events of 9/11 are a large reason that I signed up to serve my country. Now, thanks to organizations such as AE, and knowing there was a third building destroyed, I see the plausibility that there is more to the story than what has been presented to us. I certainly concur that there should be an unbiased re-investigation. The videos and other public resources showing the collapse of WTC 7 do not suggest nor support collapse by common office fire, in my opinion.

All my life I have been interested in the physical world and have observed the way things worked and interacted. Out of high school I went into the Navy and worked on aircraft, learning the fundamentals of how planes fly and the workings of aircraft carriers. After 18 years at large, watching the world, I started my engineering education at City College in SF, transferred to San Francisco State and graduated in 2000 with my BS in Civil Engineering. While at SFSU, I took great interest in the controlled demolition of a seismically damaged dormitory on campus, watching it in person. I obtained videos of other controlled demos just to study how the structures fell. I have been working for Caltrans as a bridge engineer since 2000. While I don't remember all the formulas for the physics, I certainly retain my understanding of the physical laws of the known universe.
Once I recovered from my initial shock of the WTC collapses and started watching the videos over and over, it became quite obvious that a controlled demolition had occurred. The photos of the massive steel backbone of WTC1 & 2 as they were being built should make even the most casual observer question how such a robust structure could possibly collapse, essentially into its own footprint without the help of controlled demolition. Count how many stars there are in the universe and that number may approach the odds of even one of the towers collapsing into its own footprint, let alone two or three. I knew WTC7 was a controlled demo the instant I saw it go down. It collapsed from the bottom up - the support for the lower floors had to be blown out of the way as the upper floors came down. When one stands back and looks at the larger picture, things become quite sinister. The high level of planning and secrecy required to pull off such an insane scheme as 9/11 is mind boggling. Apparently a CIA field office was located in WTC7...that's enough incriminating evidence for me...to...oh boy! Now we're beyond the engineering into the real scary stuff.

I received my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CMU in 2010. Since then I've been a software developer.
My degree in engineering required an advanced knowledge of physics, but one doesn't need an advanced knowledge of physics to see that the official 9/11 story is physically impossible. One just needs to understand that there were rings of debris ~600 feet wide around the twin towers, in all directions, and that F=ma. That is, an object will only accelerate in a particular direction if there is a force applied to the object in THAT direction. Since gravity pulls objects downward, and since the debris flew radially outward in all directions at very high speeds, one can only conclude that there were strong forces propelling matter outward in all directions. That is, gravity was absolutely not the only force acting on this debris; there must have been explosives planted in the towers, and these explosives were responsible for the collapse of the towers. It's amazing and a little scary to me that the vast majority of people don't understand these basic physical principles. Or maybe they lack the ability to think critically enough to question claims that clearly violate physical laws that have been well established for centuries, when those erroneous claims are repeated enough times by enough people.

BS Mechanical Engineering, WPI, 1969. I worked in sales and marketing for several firms. I then served in the Army as an engineer officer, both stateside and in Vietnam. I returned to grad school at Emory University and received an MBA. I worked for several years in other marketing companies, then started my own firm that designed and sold computer related furniture. Am now retired.
On the day of 9/11, I was ready to wear the uniform again although I was not in favor of our position on or in Vietnam from the big picture perspective. I never thought much about the technical details of the collapse of the three buildings, nor did I watch the videos with a keen eye. A year ago, scanning the movies on Hulu, I saw there was a four part series on the 9/11 tribunal in Toronto. The scientific evidence presented therein bought out facts that cogently pointed to a more probable and realistic cause of the collapses. I realized the abhorrent deception by our government. I then viewed your film on 9/11 which reinforced many of the facts presented in Toronto, but in a more condensed manner which made it easier to view. The psychological analysis in the last phase of the film rings so true. Most people that I have discussed the demolition theory with look and me as if I were from another planet. The Bush years were the worst 8 years of my life, as we had to deal with two wars, deceit, lies and cover ups by him and his administration. The whole 9/11 episode rings of the workings of the military industrial consortium in this country for power, control and wealth.

The official 911 commission report does not explain in sufficient detail how 3 skyscrapers collapsed and other buildings became damaged as was observed. It is vital to investigate the damage if only to avoid similar accidents in the future.

The investigation will probably never be reopened by the government. All action must come from we the people.

Without a doubt, WTC 1 and 2 and and Building 7 were controlled demolitions.

There appears to be an enormous amount of evidence supporting the theory of controlled demolition of these structures. The truth should be known and made public.

The evidence of free fall of the buildings is consistent with a resistance-free path to the ground, i.e. controlled demolition. We need answers.

Unfortunately, I can not believe that WTC1 and WTC2 collapsed just because of these 2 'small' planes, my constructive understanding is too good for that. The official explanation for the collapse by fire of WTC7 is almost ridiculous!

I have a BSME. I have designed aircraft structures and steel stadium structures. I'm also a pilot with an instrument rating, and I've built an experimental aircraft. I have performed FEA analysis throughout my career and I understand structures very well.
I absolutely knew the second I watched the videos of these buildings falling that it had to have been done using explosives, the way they intentionally take down buildings. It requires immense preparation, planning and care to make a building fall straight down and not damage surrounding structures. The likelihood of a building falling that perfectly through any other means is essentially impossible. It is preposterous to suggest that these building fell from the aircraft strikes and the fires that resulted. I am very glad to see that something is being done to try to shed light on this.

The analyses presented by AE 911 Truth raise a significant body of scientific evidence. It indicates that the causes of the WTC building collapses have not been adequately studied to reach supportable conclusions about them. If further scientific studies should determine that controlled demolition was a real factor, the ensuing issues of 'how' and 'who' are fearsome questions.

The truth needs to be heard. The towers could not possibly have fallen by just an airplane impact. How did the 3rd tower fall? Forces cancel each other! Some explosives had to have been in there!

No multistory steel structure building has ever collapsed due to fire. What about the dancing Israelis from Mossad cheering as the planes struck the buildings. Why were they cheering? Mission accomplished. Interesting that they were all released by the Bush administration.

Although I had uneasily accepted the official explanation for how the towers fell, I was not aware of WTC-7 until 2015. It seems clear to me now that WTC-7 was a controlled demolition, based on video analysis showing perfect vertical downward movement at free-fall acceleration. Focus on WTC-7.

"On 9/11, I was watching the events at work with another electrical engineer. When the south tower collapsed, I turned to him and said, ""It is not possible for a building to collapse like that from fire. The building looks like a demolition."" His response was, ""It must be possible because it just happened."" Since then, I wish I had added, ""The buildings came down through the path of highest resistance but fell at near free-fall speeds. That is not possible unless the resistance of lower floors was removed. That is the definition of a demolition"". I have no idea who is behind these demolitions or their full motives, but I am convinced that these three steel structures were intentionally demolished on 9/11/2001. Nothing else makes sense."
