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.

After the initial shock was over, maybe a week or 2 after 9/11, I had a couple of immediate reactions: 1. The plane hit the building asymmetrically on one side; if the structural steel failed, it should have toppled over to the side, impacted (not dropped) in a free fall. 2. What are the odds that could happen twice in a row? 3. No way a bunch of terrorists could have figured this out and pulled it off on their own. Early on, I saw the evidence provided by Dr Steven Jones and what the government did to him in response. That, coupled with the miraculous discovery of undamaged passports in the rubble hours after the collapse, and simultaneously a worldwide coordinated press coverage identifying the terrorists was enough to convince me that this was a pre-planned false flag. I have been aware of AE for 9/11 Truth since its inception. I will do what I can to raise public awareness and support.

Close to 35 years experience designing, constructing and maintaining major structures for state government agency.
A rudimentary knowledge of physics and in particular Newton's laws of motion is all that is needed to realize that all three collapses could not have happened as we have been led to believe. It is simply not physically possible for a structure to collapse at near-free fall speed and, at the same time, pulverize all of its concrete and steel into tiny fragments; there is not sufficient energy available to achieve both results simultaneously. A collapse at near-free fall speed would require that there be absolutely no internal resistance within the structure to hinder its acceleration under gravity. Buildings such as these are designed for combinations of extreme loads that include earthquakes and hurricanes with a sizeable factor of safety thrown in. On a calm day, for buildings with lower than full occupancy, each of the WTC towers' strength capacity was quite likely five to six times higher than that required to support its actual applied loads. Each of the plane impacts were toward the tops of each of the Towers and, of course, the buildings get very considerably stronger toward the lower levels to support the loads applied from above. For this massively strong support structure to just crumble away at near-freefall speed would have required immense amounts of explosive energy; the 'collapses', quite simply, cannot have occurred any other way! There is no doubt that there were vast quantities of extra energy applied to the structures to achieve both rapid collapses and complete destruction of their components. This energy can realistically only have come from explosive charges. Anyone who views the videos can see that the Twin Towers exploded outward and upward during their collapse, quite simply impossible in a pure collapse scenario. The chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at near-free fall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote as to be beyond even consideration. 9/11 is an event that has changed world history and the lives of millions, mostly for the worst. I do not want to sit back and pretend it was one thing, when I know with 100% certainty it was something quite different. The greatest crime of all time must be subject to the best investigation of all time!

As a civil engineering student at West Point on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, I marveled at the explanation that jet fuel could melt through structural steel, how the buildings could collapse straight down at near free-fall speeds through the path of greatest resistance, and how many witnesses reported hearing explosions. After further research and hearing the commentary of fellow professionals, I could not concur with the official explanation offered by the government & the 9/11 Commission.

Graduated in 1976, been working in architectural and engineering offices since. Much of the work I have been involved with dealt with high-rise steel frame structures. Also, have done some engineering work, including building-forensic, some steel frame but mostly concrete. Was employed at Einhorn Yaffee Prescott for a while in Albany, NY and got to see the WTC first hand. Studied WTC's design, structure and construction at university. It was always a fascinating building complex to me.
Very hard to understand the 'complete' lack of concrete rubble in the debris field. Even had the basements filled with concrete topping slab debis. There should have been a stack of jumbled building elements about 9 more stories above grade. The core columns were fully welded yet none were longer than 40 ft (max trucking length). This event as portrayed by the NIST Report totally messes with my understanding of how buildings behave. I haven't been able to reconcile the promoted theory of collapse with the way I know buildings to behave.

The explanation of why the WTC buildings collapsed given by the commissions certainly ignored scientific research and general engineering and materials knowledge. I do not think that all the years of education and training that all Architects, Engineers, Researchers and Specialists received collectively could be ignored and purposely wiped by the biased and incomplete reports presented by the commissions. The professional community should speak and demand an honest report that will once and for all put an end to all the lies and contradictions.

Proud graduate of The City College of New York. If Professor Goshn taught us one thing right, it's the behavior of material under stresses.
Having a building collapse exactly the same way, 110 stories on top of each other, not once, but twice is like winning the lotto, twice, at the same machine, the same day. The probability of this happening is 2^220. In engineering, this is referred to as Controlled Demolition. If you look closely at the video footage, explosions occur on each floor before they collapse. I don't blame the public for believing the media, only few are equipped with the right set of skills to understand the behavior of material under stresses. Very sad to see a government deceive its people in this horrible way.

I am totally amazed by how the towers free-felled like an ordinary demolition where you remove all the support structure at exactly the right time. That is also the case of building 7. which Larry Silverstein (The controller of the destroyed WTC complex) stated was pulled with the help of FDNY. And the fact that BBC had prior knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 and reported of its collapse 20 minutes before it actually happened.

I have been researching the events of 9/11 for about 6 years. I am liberal politically and I am antiwar. I am frustrated that so many people who are self-identified liberals are so close minded to the subject of 9/11 investigation. One can't be against the U.S. administration's wars overseas, if they agree with the official story of 9/11.
I am not a physicist or architect, but looking at the way the Twin Towers fell it is obvious that explosives were used. The Towers could not have fallen so fast without pre-set explosives in them. Also, I don't understand how the planes could have penetrated the Towers without any visible deceleration at all.

I grew up on a dairy ranch. I went to UC Davis. I worked 12 years as a paralegal. I am a licensed Real Estate Agent and a Commissioned Notary Public in California.
I have watched several buildings being demolished. I remember the commentators saying that the explosives had to be placed just so, or the building would fall down all over the place. When I saw the Towers fall, it looked identical to those other buildings that were demolished. I live in the Los Angeles area and was here during the earth quakes and saw destroyed buildings. They don't fall straight down under their own weight. There is always some lateral movement. The Towers' collapse just looks TOO letter perfect. Growing up on a ranch, we used dynamite to blow stumps and huge boulders from fields. I have seen the effects of an explosion. That wasn't just some trapped air blowing out those windows. Smoke exiting the windows below the point of collapse was being blasted out. Too much force to be just compressed air causing it. And how could even compressed air blow windows out many stories below the actual collapsing roof? Wouldn't the compression have to be caused by that particular floor level having it's ceiling rapidly pushed down first? Too much oddity here. The official word is appearing to be just so much air!

I have no scientific experience but have been following this movement and looking for answers myself. All the evidence is in now, we just need the truth.
Larry Silverstein said pull it and now I know what that meant. How can so many witnesses with the same story be told it didn't happen? Just watch the footage over and over again of the Towers collapsing and you will see something you missed every time. When a plane crashes there is ALWAYS, engine parts no matter how hot it is This is only the beginning ... Next the Pentagon investigation, then Pennsylvania. Nothing adds up.

The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have brought many important points to the forefront of my own mind and I have no technical training but, am smart enough to follow through with their thought process!

As a decorator and having used thermite paint all I can say is even if the steel had been given numerous coats, which is not likely, there is no way it would have burnt long enough for it to have any effect on them. It would have burned off long before.
In my personal opinion and after much study, I have come to the conclusion that the US government at best knew that the attacks were imminent and at worse came up with the whole idea and implemented this outrage. The truth will come out in the end as it has in the UK when my government carried out tests on the London underground with the flu virus in the 1960's.

First, I have a question: Why wasn't the Emergency Broadcast System engaged at the time of the attack? As far as I understand it, the system was put in place by Kennedy in 1963 as a way of alerting the American Public at the time of a potential missile attack. It seems to me that the EBS should have been engaged in 2001. Or, was there no emergency? On the morning of 9/11, why was it that only private media companies were engaged to inform history about the specific nature of these so called unforeseeable events? Because this question has not been answered, I believe the people need a new investigation and a more complete independent inquiry concerning the facts around these events. I believe we should have an inquiry which looks into what happened before and after 9/11, and answers the question of how the complete destruction of the three buildings in New York were possible, and why the country wasn't alerted by the EBA (Emergency Broadcast Association).

As I witnessed on live television the 9/11 destruction, it was apparent to me, an untrained observer, that controlled demolition was the sole cause of the World Trade Center buildings coming down. And the criminal activity that ensued such as the destruction and removal of evidence, the obvious cover up of the official report, as well as the immediate attack of our civil liberties that followed! The feeling that the spirit of Adolf Hitler is alive and well. However, forensic science tells no lies, it is the naked truth.

I don't have any experience. I have interest with science. What I mean is all kinds of science doesn't matter what. I also get into conspiracy theory type stuff. I like to know the truth about what has been hidden from the people.
Watching what happened, you can tell that the Towers shouldn't have come down. Watching them coming down you can even see the explosions popping on every floor and if you look you can see the flashes. If anything was coming down from an explosion it shouldn't be straight down. The 7th Tower does exactly the same thing coming down in a demolition. I knew from the start that #7 was caused by a demolition. I don't have to have experience to see that. I find it hard to understand why it happened and if they wanted to cover it up why did they take out Building 7?

On September 11th, 2001 I was an 18 year old that had just graduated from high school. That day dramatically affected me, like many Americans. I felt anger, hopelessness and confusion. I wanted to help, but I didn't know what I could do. Two years later I joined the Marine Corps. I served 4 years as a Rifleman, fought in Iraq, and was honorably discharged on September 11th, 2007. At the time I felt like I was doing something honorable for my country. But after going to college and having two children I began to question my actions and the war itself. I began to do research and soul searching and now I have questions about the story we were sold on that day, like many Americans.
Why was the 9/11 Commission not independent and rushed? Why were Dick Cheney and George Bush so secretive about their testimony to the 9/11 Commission? Why did the FAA, NORAD and the Pentagon fail so miserably that day? Why did WTC 7 buckle and fall into into it's footprint when it was not even hit by an airplane? How did this even happen when the federal government had prior warning? Why is there video evidence and testimony of explosions in the buildings? Why was the debris from the site so quickly removed?

When I first saw the collapse of the World Trade Center on the news I was totally brain washed with what they were telling me and believed whole heartedly about the terrorists and so forth, but with the years passing since 9/11 more and more curiosity arises. I didn't even know there was a 3rd building that fell, just until a few years ago, not only that but how it fell and the evidence of a planned implosion and the fact that the government spent so little time and resources to get to the bottom of it, more like sweep it under the carpet and hoping nobody notices it. I would like to see a thorough investigation to really see what happened and go after whom ever did it, whom ever they are.

My statements concerning 9/11 WTC is this. This is and was the greatest tragedy in US history. But lets not forget what each and every american was taught in schools growing up then onto college and bottom line common sense. But with everyday life and challenges for every american we are easily forgetful of what is true and common sense by what we see on TV or what we read on paper. 9/11 was the best psychological stunt the key factor of what we have already been lead to believe for years from 1999 to 2008 and that focus is to live in fear. Not fear of dying everyday of our lives but that our freedom isn't ours no longer due to foreign terrorists so were told. But what all americans fail to realize is fear isn't always from a foreign source. It's just very sad to see a great country without common sense. Truth is Truth! Facts are Facts! Lies are Lies! and Fiction is Fiction! If nothing else no american of any race for any reason should not can not forget about what happen we should all live with this everyday of our lives as much as the families that lost so much more.

I am high school graduate having 2 years of college with enough education in physics and chemistry to have questions about the 9/11 attacks from my own understanding of the concepts.
The free fall speed of the building collapses is to me the aspect that is least explained. As to what caused the collapse to occur as it did, I don't believe I am well enough informed to speculate, however that shouldn't be my job. The buildings however, were clearly NOT brought down by a plane crash and the resulting local low temperature fires the crash produced.

I am merely a citizen.
I have read articles and watched videos for years from the conspiracy theorists and compared the information to that of the official NIST report. The conspiracy theorists have done an incredible job of making their case while the NIST report lacks even the most basic evidence of scientific investigation. The official NIST investigation and subsequent report is not only improbable, it is simply impossible. It pains me greatly to have my faith in my government destroyed.

When the top of the first tower tipped...it should have kept on tipping and tumbled over and down to the ground. The steel frames of these buildings would have acted as a giant 'heat sink', if you where able to touch these massive box beams 20 floors below the fires they would have been cold. There is no reasonable explanation for those towers to collapse completely at near free fall speed.
