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 studied architecture in Valencia, Spain, at the Etsav and finished in 2002. Since then, I've been working at calculations for steel and concrete structures.
It doesn't seem possible that a fire, now matter how hot it gets, can cause a collapse at free fall speed. The official story does not explain how all the floors below the impact could offer no resistance at all in the collapse. The mass below was moved away somehow.

I'm a civil engineer specializing in structural works (buildings, bridges and tanks). I practice mainly in Spain.
Society needs to know if large fires alone could have been enough to bring down the WTC buildings. Was impact damage a necessary factor? Further research into the cause of the 9/11 collapses can be applied to improve the structural safety of existing or future skyscrapers.

A summary of the structural analysis of the twin towers, carried out by the firm of Worthington, Skilling, Helle & Jackson, which can be found in the 1964 files of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, claims : The buildings have been investigated and found to be safe in an assumed collision with a large jet airliner (Boeing 707-DC 8) traveling at 600 miles per hour. Analysis indicates that such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse. The planes hit the towers on 9/11 at 440 mph and 540 mph, so the kinetic energy was below the design parameter. No collapse should have occurred. The temperatures of the burning jet fuel should have been around 360'C, which have never ever in history damaged a steel structure. That's why the firefighters went up the towers to knock down the fire with two lines, as we could hear over their radio. Those buildings were demolished with explosives, like 118 firefighters witnessed. Employees of NYC, Michael Hess and Barry Jennings, confirmed also hearing explosions in WTC-7, when they were looking for their boss over there, mayor Giuliani, who was already posted in a safer headquarter. They were lucky to get out alive. It's interesting that the 9/11 commission dare not to give any official statement on how this building could possibly have collapsed, because the level of junk science they would need to prove this would surpass anything they performed on showing the twin towers collapsed due to only two forces : a plane impact and fire.

BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Iowa State U. 1954. Post graduate studies in EE at U. of Southern California, 1964. Technical schooling at the Army Air Corp Radar School at Boca Raton in 1947 with subsequent radar maintenance on AAF airborne radars. After acquiring my BS EE, I began my career in airborne flight test instrumentation design and systems development at Douglas Aircraft Company. I subsequently worked as a civilian employee of the US Air Force at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards AFB, CA. In addition to standard flight test measurement technology, I designed and project managed the developed physiological sensors and electronics for use on the test pilots, incuding time-of-flight mass spectrometer measurement for full pressure suit gases.
The number of people who died or suffered as a direct result of 9/11, is serious enough, but the death and destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands, demands some justice for the perpetrators. With respect to the future welfare of our children and grand children, the in-your-face destruction of our nation since 9/11 is a major concern. We are at great risk of losing our free society if we do not get active to prevent the loss.

I think the main reason many people don't want to even consider the possibility (some say certainty) that the reasons for the WTC collapse is that it makes you consider the implications--the who/what/whys...and forces you to consider some ideas so horrible and evil that no one would want to face it. But reluctance is not a valid reason for not seeking the answer.

The more I learn about the events of the day based on the 9/11 commission report, the more frightening the realization is that we've been lied to by our own government. I hope there is pressure to hold the Bush administration accountable for the damage they've done by hiding the truth.

The very first images on TV that day did not look right when both buildings collapsed in a few seconds .The fires would have burnt themselves out or been extinguished by the firefighters. The structures below should have remained intact. It just looked suspicious on the day it happened.

It doesn't take a scientist to see that the twin towers and the building that was not hit by planes (Bldg 7) came down due to demolition explosives, not fires within the buildings. There are many questions regarding what actually happened to these buildings as well as the Pentagon. Explanations by the government have never made any sense and its time for a real (honest) investigation.

The video evidence shows building collapses which are inconsistent with the reasoning given in the official report, and they appear to be consistent with the patterns of controlled demolition.No skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire, and the fires did not burn hot enough to melt or weaken steel. Furthermore the presence of molten steel and high temperatures recorded at the site suggest that devices other than airplanes were responsible for bringing down the towers.Numerous firemen and policemen reported multiple explosions throughout the building.

I have my Associates in Childcare and Development. I continued my education in Anthropology and Archeology. That degree is to be continued. After having my second child I focused on my children and stayed home while trying to pursue my dream of starting my own business.
There has been so much evidence, not only caught on tape but confirmed by intellectual people including Engineers and Architects who believe, as do I, that the story given to the American people was a lie. This is disgraceful not only to the public but to the immediate family who have been given this lie. There is no closure to these families. I do not trust a government that lies to its people for personal gain. Make the American people trust once again. Let them know that the truth will be finally admitted. It is not too late. Thank you.

I have seen many recordings from various angles of the WTC from that fateful 9/11. Also, I have watched videos from countless engineers who insist that steel buildings just do not fall in the manner the WTC did -- and to confirm, I've watched footage of steel buildings burning for days before even starting to crumble. And I have questions about why Building 7 was brought down. An independent investigation should be conducted and the truth be brought to the public. After all, that incident catapulted our country to the never-ending war that we and other countries live with still today.

I am a private citizen who has grave questions about 9/11. I am informed as to building construction and demolition thru my own personal studies and basic architecture classes.
There is No Doubt in my mind that what I saw on 9/11 was a Controlled Demolition. I know enough about how skyscrapers are built to know that no plane and diesel fuel, thats what jet fuel is, could take down the Steel and Concrete structures designed the way those buildings were. It is way past time for the TRUTH to be known. I fully support a Clear Independent Investigation into 9/11.

Too much evidence exists to dismiss 9/11 the way it has been handled in NIST. Too much. The public demands re-investigation, or...the first investigation that never took place. This is no 'Michael Jackson is Alive!' conspiracy. This is hard evidence and fact being hidden and swept under the rug to save face. Barry Jennings? Explosions? Building 7? Open up 9/11!!!

On September 11, 2001, when the announcer said that a plane had just hit one of the World Trade Center towers, and they didn't know whether it was a commercial airliner or a private plane, my immediate response was, 'Well, that's a no brainer. If it was a commercial airliner, you would know.' I explained to the other employees in the break room that I had both military and FAA experience and that there was a policy in place that if a commercial airliner was off course, FAA would notify NORAD who would scramble a fighter to investigate. The news would surely be in the loop. Soon after, the announcer and a reporter were conversing about if the tower had 'collapsed yet.' 'Huh?' There was obviously not enough damage for the tower to completely collapse into itself. But it did, shortly after the prediction. Another 'Huh?' I smelled fish from the git go.
