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 would like to see more focus on the 9/11 Truth argument from an engineering perspective that cannot be refuted. My own simple conservation of momentum calculations show that the claimed pancake collapse can't have occurred at free fall speed as each of the floors would have slowed the floors above falling.

It takes very little time to review existing evidence and become convinced that controlled demolition was involved. This indicates that we do not have a complete understanding of how 9/11 occurred nor who was involved. This cannot be ignored or forgotten, because incorrect understanding causes people and governments to form inappropriate perceptions and actions, which lead others to respond similarly.

Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

I have a Bach of Arts and Sci in Architectural Studies and a Bach of Arch degrees.

Once I started my own architectural firm in Seattle in Jan 1991 (over 29 yrs ago), I continued to have work on numerous high rise buildings.
The visual analysis of the collapse of all three WTC buildings does not meet, in my opinion, the nature of a collapse related to non-symmetrical destruction. All three buildings collapsed symmetrically downward with no horizontal deviation even though the damage to the structure was non-symmetrical. A professional architect, engineer or one versed in the physics of building structures would intuitively know that a non-symmetrical failure of one part of a structure would not allow the entire structure to come down vertically, but would tip it to one side much like chopping a tree down. That did not happen in any of these buildings and is suspect.

Studied the collapses by reviewing 100's of online articles, Richard Gage's documentary. I have looked into this for well over the past 5 years. I have concluded the airliners were not the the cause WTC1, WTC2 or WTC7 to collapse. Interior demolition explosives had to be planted in the buildings prior and the primary cause of the collapses. My concern is to open the investigation based on the facts, then find out who did it, why and prevent it from happening again. This kind of crime, gone unchecked, will undoubtably happen again in worse fashion in the form of a mushroom cloud. I think it is time for the American People to take the blinders off.

I received a bachelor of science in aeronautical engineering with a minor in computer graphics and with a 3.55 GPA from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. In the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), I scored in top 6%. I've worked at Northrop Grumman Corporation as a system process engineer. And among other various employments, I was the pipeline engineering supervisor for the Lord of the Rings, working on all three films in New Zealand for Weta Digital to enhance the capability and efficiency of their computer-graphics production.
The official story about how the WTC buildings fell on September 11th is absolutely ridiculous. No fire-induced collapse, because of two jets, could cause a symmetrical fall of these three buildings at the acceleration of gravity--it's just physically impossible. The twin towers were engineered to withstand such aircraft strikes. And the videos of the three buildings falling also show clear signs of explosions that cannot be explained by any fire/jet caused collapse. Furthermore, there are innumerable eye-witness accounts of massive explosions (and demolition-style countdowns) that have no reasonable connection to the official story about why the buildings fell.

Nearly every official aspect of 9/11 has been proven false by professionals (architects/engineers, pilots, stewardesses, black box engineers, cell phone analyzers, scientists, etc) and key points have not been investigated, such as: stock option purchases, WTC insurance, certain people not working, Israelis with explosive residue in vans released, gold in WTC, Bush reaction and actions in Florida while the US was under attack, Pentagon lost monies, symmetric and rapid falling of three WTC buildings, planting of evidence (passports and lost baggage of terrorists), fake Osama Bin Laden responsibility footage (wearing a wedding ring - strict muslims don't do this), recruiting of airline personnel by CIA, WTC worker reports of bombs in basement and lobby, and finally proof of explosives (visual, reported and recorded, and proved scientifically).

When observing that Bldg 7, which had not been directly hit but experienced a minor secondary fire, imploded in a manner identical to that of the WTC Twin Towers buildings, it becomes apparent that bombs had been pre-placed in all 3 buildings to cause their collapse.

On observation, it is obvious that all of the columns of Building 7 failed symmetrically, starting with the core of the structure under the penthouse, with the perimeter columns failing a second later. In my opinion this is the work of a controlled demolition that would take months to plan and prepare. If it were possible for some minor furnishings to ignite, they would not reach the necessary temperatures for a sufficiently prolonged period of time to weaken even one fire-protected column. It is unfathomable that ALL of the columns would reach the same point of failure at exactly the same time.

It's incredible to see and analyze the mass of evidence which speaks against the official version of 9/11. The official explanation for what happened on this day, in connection to all the open questions, is in my eyes absolutly ridiculous. It's not really scientific! Therefore we need a new independent and transparent investigation with an international team of scientists. Otherwise we will never have the clearness of what really happened on this historical date. Also, we will never understand the reasons for all the civil rights cutting processes, which have happend all over the world since this huge crime.

The evidence of thermite and molten iron in the dust at ground zero combined with the free fall collapse of WTC building 7 has convinced me without a doubt that the actual events of 9/11/2001 in NYC do not match the NIST report or the official story reported by the mainstream news media. The victims' families and the American people deserve an honest investigation into 9/11 to confirm the true causes and perpetrators.

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

Those three buildings came down too perfectly, within their own footprints, to have been caused by an asymmetric impact and subsequent jet fuel fire, much of which burned off externally in fire balls (and Building 7 wasn't even impacted). It offends me that so much of the forensic and scientific evidence was ignored or dismissed by the officials in charge, largely in my opinion because the invasion of Iraq was a foregone conclusion and the Cheney/Bush administration needed a 'Pearl Harbor' event to galvanize public anger in support.

Thinking people through the world deserve to know what actually took place on 9/11. The official version insults the intelligence of the informed mind. To suppress truth on this matter is an affront to the progress of civilization and a perpetuation of mass media manipulation. Regardless of who may be damaged as a result, the truth must be revealed. At the very least, the current story must be debunked whether or not the true story can be determined.

The first thing that concerned me in the 'pancake' theory of the tower floors was after I saw photos and plans of the core column structure. There is no contiguous floor through the core area. If the floors did pancake, then the basically hollow square floors outside of the exterior of the core would have sheared off and collapsed leaving the core standing. As an analogy, the core is the 'trunk' of the tower, giving bending resistance (stiffness) and vertical support. There is no reason to believe that collapsing floors surrounding it would affect it.

I am a pensioner Captain of the German Airforce and was 36 years in charge. One of my tasks was to recover crashed aircraft in the function of leader of aircraft quality management. University of German Air Force Munich, 1990.
I have seen many accidents and crashes of military and civil aircrafts. In cases of a crash, you always can see the side rudder and elevators from the tail, the engines, and the hull of the aircraft. A civil aircraft would not completely disappear, neither in a black hole, nor in a building like the World Trade Center. I believe in God, but not in this fake of the CIA!

I completed my Master of Science in Structures and Foundations Engineering in December 2017 from Cleveland State University. Currently, I am a Structural Engineer and an assistant project manager in New York City. I am responsible for performing structural analysis and calculations, preparing super-structure, foundation and support of excavation drawings, reviewing structural designs, performing field investigation and special inspections. I was working as a Construction Safety Engineering Intern at NYC Department of Buildings with Excavation and Interior Demolition Unit in Summer 2017. I have a working knowledge of STAAD.Pro, AutoCAD, ETABS, MATLAB, SAFE, SKYCIV, BLUEBEAM and Microsoft office suite. I possess an OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Construction Outreach Certification. In addition to that, I also took various Red Vector Online Structural Engineering Courses. I possess F01 and F60 FDNY Certificates. I have significant experience in overseeing a wide range of civil engineering projects.
I didn't think the towers would fall. As designed, the weight of the floors above where the planes had hit was being transferred around the holes to the columns below, and the way the building fell down was a complete controlled demolition. Not in the history of steel structured buildings has a fire been responsible for such collapses.

The collapse of towers (any of them) are physically impossible. Also, the airplane's speed at that height is impossible. Plane is not structurally capable of withstanding air resistance and wings would be ripped off. Engines not able to provide enough power to get to the speed they say it hit. Also telephone calls from passengers on planes received on cell network is impossible. Antennas on cell towers are directional & do not work above 1500 ft altitude. Also plane will be too fast for cell tower 'pass over'. This speed of a mobile tx/rx unit travels in a cell network must be within cell phone networks spec. Planes are to fast.

It's not hard to understand why the NIST concluded WTC7 collapsed because of fire. Any other conclusion'such as controlled demolition--would obviously be politically incorrect. So any member of NIST who suggested such a possibility would be fired. I'm sympathetic. Those NIST guys needed to feed their families and pay their bills. Accordingly, they told their bosses what the bosses wanted to hear.

I've watched hundreds of controlled demolitions for buildings, and I believe controlled demolition was used on 9/11.
The building was evacuated and demolished by experts. I am from Iraq. I lost many family members and friends in the US invasion and 9/11 changed my life, my future, and the next-generation's future.

From the very first moment I saw the footage, it was clear that low heat fires could not have caused such an event. I am happy to see this petition finally and hope that this will lead to an uncovering of the truth, which is well overdue.

It's impossible for a typical stock commercial airplane to enter a skyscraper as if it were butter at achievable sea level flight speeds. It's impossible that a small amount of jet fuel could weaken ALL steel columns to collapse SIMULTANEOUSLY, FLOOR AFTER FLOOR. It's impossible for a building hit from the side to fall straight down. It's impossible for a skyscraper to be pulverized by a commercial plane, especially when it is built to withstand plane crashes. The list goes on & on....
