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.

The physics of Momentum Transfer in the collapse of the WTC buildings completely precludes the possibility that collapse at near free-fall speed could occur due to gravity alone.

I lived in Singapore all my life, went through Government schools, conscripted in the army as is required for all Singaporean citizen males 18 and above. I read a lot of National Geographic and internet news and my hobbies include playing computer games, drawing and photoshop.
At most, only the top half of the North Tower should have fallen, because heat rises and fire tends to travel upwards, given the very high location of the impact area. And then of course many buildings have suffered serious building fires without being brought down like the WTC.

I recently graduated from an ABET accredited M.E. program at Grove City College. I have taken the first steps in becoming a P.E., passing the F.E. exam and actively searching for work in an engineering-related field. I have worked with automation and quality assurance, and I am currently working as a CNC Operator.
The ASME code of ethics establishes the responsibility for engineers to 'hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public' and to strive to maintain this responsibility with honesty and impartiality. As an engineer, it is my duty to question the integrity of work others have done if the welfare of the public is at risk. Having an understanding of the scientific method, I recognize the failure in the National Institute of Standards and Technology organization for conducting a negligent investigation where many important questions were not answered and pertinent evidence was mishandled. I support the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization's petition calling for an independent investigation into the possible use of explosives that may have resulted in the structural failure of the World Trade Center buildings.

I have studied the fall of those three buildings extensively. All three were obviously brought down by demolition charges. The health effects (very high cancer and other disease rates) to the site workers and the locals clearly leads to these conclusions. It is obvious from watching the buildings fall that demolition charges were used to bring the buildings down. The official story was provided by those who have committed the fraud. The means of the investigation was clearly not according to the methods that are normally used during a crime scene investigation. As much evidence as possible was loaded onto trucks and then barges and removed from the site to be immediately smelted in India and China, thus eliminating the most damning evidence, the signature of the super high explosives, and Thermate. These very hot explosives were used to cut the massive girders within that building. All involved in this giant scam need jail and capital charges.

Though I've initially learned about the inexplicable circumstances from documentary videos like 'Loose Change', AE911Truth.org (its reports and documentaries) has shown the irrefutable evidence that the WTC towers have been brought down by controled demolition.This conclusion implies a premeditated covert operation, which should therefore be thoroughly investigated, and any and all involved should be brought to justice. This is essential and of the highest urgency, because the 9/11 attrocities have been the pretext to start the perpetual wars the USA continues to wage in order to, according to my opinion, establish a global empire. Bringing to justice the perpetrators of these crimes is essential to reestablish the democratic republic the USA used to be.

Watching the Towers collapse on 9/11 was a total horror.... but even at that moment, you know, it just did not look right. A comprehensive investigation was never part of the agenda.

All aspects of the collapse of the skyscrapers on 9/11 fit perfectly with controlled demolition. The official report statement, that the skyscrapers collapsed due to the impact of the planes or falling debris, does not make sense from a technical point of view. It does not line up with the character of the collapse, the reports of people being able to descend past the impacted floors during the fires, and multiple corresponding witness reports of molten steel and secondary explosions, including the explosion on the ground floor before the first plane hit the first tower. Given the enormous undesired consequences of the skyscraper destruction and of 9/11 in general, it is crucial that the case of 9/11 is reopened in an impartial and independent investigation.

On 9/11 I was only 12. Some years later I started to get interested about what happened in that day and I was really stricken about the amount of things, of coincidence that didn't match; in particular WTC7, a high rise building that no one told us it collapsed that day. Then I graduated; I started to see all this weird things with a scientific point of view and now I'm sure beyond resonable doubt that WTC7 did not collapse because of fire, it's been torn down with explosives. Alternately, we should forget everything we study in the University and re-write the Physics, the Building Science, the Mechanics and so on!!!

I started my working career as a piano technician. I went through the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Machinist Apprenticeship. Later got a BS in Mech E from Seattle University, then spent 4 years with Boeing as a Liaison engineer in the Wing Responsibility Center. Finally worked 16 years with US Navy as a Nuclear/Radiological engineer.
The NIST scenarios are not believable. The WTC 1 collapse is equivalent to crushing two US Nimitz class nuclear carriers in 10 seconds, given that they have about the same amount of structural steel. It's simply not possible. The NIST explanation for the WTC7 collapse is even more ludicrous. Their model shows massive failure at the back of the building, but somehow that doesn't distort the glass windows on the front of the building. I used Working Model 2D to model the effects of the conservation of momentum on WTC1. It showed that the upper stories would be significantly slowed by impact with the lower stories, adding several seconds to a free fall collapse, which takes it outside of the actual collapse time. Ergo, the lower floors were already falling when they were hit by the upper floors. Frankly, I'm extremely disappointed by the almost total lack of curiosity displayed by most of my working colleagues over the years. Lots of really smart guys who lacked the courage to ask a few rather obvious questions.

As an engineering student I took civil and electrical engineering classes and polymers and material where we learned about material strength. I have to question how building 7 (and even tower 1 and 2) fell without any resistance. Building 7 was not hit at all. I question too the fact that there was not a residue of the airplanes. It is impossible; something has to be found. I feel Americans need a complete investigation of what really happened. I cried for days during 9/11. I held my children so tight and was afraid to let them go.I was in NYC during 9/11 and I smelled the dead bodies; it was a smell that I still smell when I think about that day.

I can still remember, on 9/11/01 at 9pm BST, I just ended an evening IT session and immediately came to know about the horrific incident through internet and media. Since then, I grew interested to know more on the motive and aftermath. Why, who, casualties, business interests... these all came in my mind. 9/11 is still an unsolved mystery in modern civilization. It could have been to legitimize the attack on Afghanistan, as the country holds enormous stock of Lithium.

I attended Penn State University from 2012 through 2016 where I studied Biological / Agricultural engineering with a focus on off-road mobile equipment. After obtaining my Bachelor of Science I began work as a project engineer at a global manufacturer of automation and motion control equipment overseeing the design and development of hydraulic valves. I spent approx 1.5 years in this role. My current position is a design engineer at a global manufacturer of off road and construction equipment. My role is again focused on fluid power and their integration into the vehicle systems. My professional role regularly involves traditional mechanical analysis of stress, fatigue and buckling of steel and aluminum components.
The physical evidence of the WTC destruction clearly discredits the official story of the US federal government. The list of this evidence is substantial but the following items in particular demand a new investigation into the crime: the free fall collapse of WTC 7, the discovery of active thermitic material in the dust, the presence of molten steel and concrete on site, and the atmospheric gasses indicating the use of explosives.

There is increasing engineering evidence becoming available, that shows beyond doubt, that the NIST reports in Building 7 and Twin Tower collapses are unsound. I feel we engineers should support others who are also campaigning to find the truth, and help them to present the most solid evidence.

We perform consulting services for the same industry. I don't work in construction (although I did back in the US), but the physics and math presented to refute the claims of NIST are simple enough for me to understand.
I don't know what happened, but having read quite a bit, and watched quite a few videos, it is clear that the official story is not true. We need a new investigation. Particularly easy to follow is the WTC 7 situation, 2.5 seconds of free-fall, after it was NOT hit by a plane and only had office furniture burning for some hours. No variables in that situation lead to free fall destruction of a steel frame skyscraper. It's collapse by fire is just not physically possible. Very many factors in WTC 1 and 2 also need a new investigation, but WTC 1 and 2 are (obviously) more complex than WTC 7.

Building Number 7 should be enough to convince anyone that this whole thing was a controlled demolition. Modern steel constructed buildings do not collapse due to fire alone. This building was new enough to likely have a sprinkler system that should have extinguished any fire.

I have never felt comfortable with the 'house of cards' collapse of the twin towers. In recent years I've studied work by the commendable David Ray Griffin, whose rational and calm examination of the evidence helps shine a light on the likely truth of the terrible events of that day. In keeping with the many brave professionals who have been prepared to speak out concerning their deep unease about the events of that day, and the incongruity of the official reports, I find myself unable to turn my back on this matter, despite the best efforts of the establishment who continually attempt to discredit it. Please keep on working hard to expose the truth of what really happened on that day, those behind this potentially greatest ever crime, and to bring them and their conspirators to justice in the name of those who lost their lives on the day and subsequently.

I 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.

I do not believe in the official statement from neither the NIST nor from the American government. Scientifically, the destruction of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 towers is not logical as currently explained by officials.

The 9/11 Commission report is completely inadequate. It does not even acknowledge the destruction of WTC-7. The NIST reports stop short of explaining the destruction of the twin towers - choosing to attempt to deal with initiation of collapse only. The symmetrical freefall destruction of WTC-7 into its footprint due to 'ordinary office fires' and a single column failure strains credulity beyond its limits. Real investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board, Chemical Safety Board, etc. are thorough and to the highest ethical and professional standards - using all available evidence to arrive at logical science-based conclusions. This type of investigation has yet to occur for the events of 9/11. The current dubious conclusions of the 9/11 investigation require cherry-picked evidence, a secret model that is off limits to peer review, and exclusion of contradictory evidence. The process used was anything but scientific. It is long past due for a truly professional and science-based inquiry into the tragic events of 9/11. We owe it to the victims and the families of those killed on that fateful day.

If a building is falling down with nearly acceleration of free fall, the resistance of the mechanical structure had to be nearly zero. The sudden disappearance of nearly all stability in the structure of the WTC buildings can neither be explained by planes destroying some floors, nor be explained by fire damage. So the official explanation is in opposition to basic physical laws. It has to be wrong. We need a new report based on a new investigation.

I received a BSIE from SUNY Buffalo in 1970Worked for GE for 5 years, then Varco-Pruden Metal Building Systems for 3 years and was the Engineering manager at the Office of State Publishing for 33 years, retiring in 2011.... was fortunate to have a wide variety of projects over that time period.Everything from welding and printing equipment specification to oversight of building construction projects including structural roof re-inforcement to support an evaporative cooling system as well as supporting pollution control equipment that incinerated VOC compounds used in lithographic offset printing.
Building 7 videos show a standard building demolition at gravity free fall with a NIST explanation that an office fire was the cause... how absolutely ridiculous. This got me thinking about the Twin Towers and the jet fuel temperatures, which led me to the YouTube clips of the firemen talking about molten metal coming down the channels and the statements that the ground floor lobby area was already blown out before the towers came down. Then I learned about Thermite and realized that the governments explanation of what happened was a complete fabrication and the buildings could not have come down if they were only hit by a commercial passenger aircraft. I also found the Pilots for 911 truth to be informative when they stated that the specific Boeing aircraft cited could not generate enough thrust to fly at 500+ mph at that low of an altitude (80% of the atmosphere is contained in the 1st 2 miles of altitude) because the air is too dense. They can fly at 500+ mph when they are at 6 or 7 miles up in the THIN air, less resistance.

It was obviously controlled demolition. There is plenty of evidence leading to this conclusion. Who did it and details of how it was done need to come out.

30 years experience in pyrometallurgy and process engineering
There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

After 30 years as an engineer, I can say with out a doubt the planes could not have taken down the World Trade Centers as they described.

The official version of the events of 9/11 never made sense to me but, for some reason, I chose to ignore or dismiss my suspicions for 16 years. I am ready now to throw my weight behind the call for a new investigation.
