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 am a retired Electronic Design Specialist and Computer Specialist, 53 years old, male. At my work, I used computers in design of circuits and PC boards. I also use them to consider stress forces, material suitability and sizes for construction of many types of machinery, small buildings and appropriate design factors. These are mostly small items, not large buildings, but I understand the concept behind the large building structural design. I am American, Constitutionalist, Free Man, anti-communist, Prolife, Born again Christian and willing to live for my country!
I believe that the buildings were intentionally brought down by pre-planted explosives and that the public was deceived by the use of non commercial jets. Building #7 is the Achilles heel, where you can here the count down to raze it, but it was not hit by any jet or missile. Also the Pentagon was not hit by a 767 or 757; there is just not enough of a hole in the building. I believe that it was a small cruise missile or other type of weapon.

I am extremely concerned about the melted metal found versus temperatures found in a normal 'office fire', as well as the quickness and direction of collapse. A friend of mine receives full physicals every 3 years, paid for by the government, since he helped in the recovery effort; knowing that he could have/has inhaled metallic microspheres is alarming.

My original gas volume analysis of twin tower collapse: If the towers collapsed due to structural weakness, the volume of air expelled from them would equal the gross volume of the building minus the volume of solid objects within it. Yet, it is evident from all videos that the volume of gas expelled was instantly many times the volume of the original building. Explosives within the building are the only credible source of this excess gas volume. Also, the speed at which the gas and debris was expelled horizontally from the building was approximately the same for all floors. This is exactly what would be expected if a similar set of explosive charges were detonated on each floor of the building. If the matter was expelled only due to the weight of above floors crushing the lower floors, the gas and dust would have been expelled a short distance at the beginning of the event when the speed of collapse was slow, and a much further distance on the lower floors when the speed of collapse was faster. That was not the case.

I have practiced small-scale commercial and residential building and/or architecture for thirty five years. More recently, I have taught Architectural Design at our local Community College.
Everyone who has completed an accredited Architectural program has studied physics, properties of materials, and statics as minimum conditions of receiving a baccalaureate degree. Engineering students receive an even more rigorous education and training. As a licensed Architect or engineer we have received practical experience and relatively rigorous testing. If we can suspend our belief systems, and look at this event as a set of physical causes and effects, we will find much evidence to hypothesize causes other than those expressed by the Official reports of what occurred on September 11, 2001. For my part, I am expecting information at the level at which I was trained and tested in order to have the right and privilege to practice Architecture California.

I saw WTC collapse when I was student in VGTU (Technical University in Vilnius). I suddenly realized, that it looked like control demolition. Nothing else. All these 15 years of my professional career I studied buildings construction failures, repairs after earthquakes and fires. I should say, that my opinion just improved with the knowledge and experience. Buildings doesn't collapse the way we see WTC collapsed vertically. If there were local construction failure, it would collapse partly, non symmetrically. It's absolutely clear, that authorities hiding something. It's absolutely clear, that American citizen and the rest of the world should know the truth. I believe that AE comunity will make it possible. And I am proud to be a part of AE for the 911 truth!

By any objective analysis of the inconsistencies and factual evidence available to any member of the public; there is obviously a great divide between what truly happened and what has been provided as the fed to an accepting American Public via a cooperative media industry. In total, this represents a bloodless coup in America and until full disclosure is forced, the control of this nation by an unseen group of people and organizations will continue and will grow in its removal of civil rights and free speech. The window is closing each and every day, and the folks orchestrating this scenario are the most powerful and evil humans to ever walk this planet. It would be hard to overstate the ramifications of this scenario.

Degreed Mechanical Engineer, 20 years professional design and manufacturing experience.
WTC 7 was not struck by aircraft, was quite a distance from the falling towers, from photos and video did not seem damaged or extensively on fire yet collapsed in what appears to be a controlled, engineered, pre-planned demolition. This building is the only steel framed skyscraper to ever collapse from fire. A very through investigation should have been performed, instead all steel was controlled and recycled immediately, an act of criminal destruction of evidence. The twin towers collapse is also suspect. Eyewitnesses reporting explosions before the collapse. Also the damaged structure at and above the impact zone should not have been able to collapse the remaining undamaged structure, especially the massively strong central core. The core and outer walls supported the weight of the upper structure, it would have been able to resist the dynamic force of the upper structure falling. There can not be more energy generated dynamically from falling than is present in the potential energy from standing, height x gravity x mass. If the lower supporting structure had been able to support the upper floors for thirty years plus a commercial airliner impact, it would have resisted the dynamic energy because they are the same and the weight of the upper structure has been removed from the lower, that's the only way the upper can fall. Therefore in a non-controlled collapse the top section would have remained in place or fallen and broken into many small pieces and fallen off the sides of the remaining non damaged structure. If the floors had pancaked the central core would have remained standing. The only way the collapses can occur as they did is if the central core was destroyed by controlled explosions. The central cores were systematically blown and ripped down the rest of the buildings from the inside. Again all evidence was destroyed by remelting the steel. The event known as 911 was in my opinion a combination of an external government and some members of the US Fed government conspiring to produce a domestic terrorism event (false flag) to launch the global war on terrorism resulting in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the patriot act, the tapping of every piece of voice, e-mail, data communications in the world, Dept of homeland security, increase in oil prices and massive military / domestic police force spending all on the backs of the supposedly terrified US taxpayer. It is and will remain the single most important event in the history of this country.

I am a licensed Architect, registered in the State of Wisconsin. I've been in the field of architecture for approximately 25 years now. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis/St. Paul with a B.A. majoring in Architecture.
I did not realize that there was actually a formation of a group or organization that is stating the thoughts that I only have kept in my mind. It amazed me to think that a plane alone could actually bring down a building as these did. These ideas expressed on this site only seem too logical and obviously should be investigated if only to make the practice of architecture and related construction and building fields take heed and learn from them.

Although I am not a degree holding expert in architectural engineering, the events of 9/11 do not obey the most basic of physical laws which a high schooler could observe.1. How can an asymmetric impact at the top of the building cause it to fall symmetrically into its own foot print at free-fall speed exhibiting insufficient resistance from the material in its path; the iron/concrete core?2. How could a building that tall fall directly straight down without tipping or falling over asymmetrically?3. How did all of the concrete get pulverized or dustified?4. How could all but a hundred feet or so of iron core be completely destroyed from an impact a thousand feet above?5. How could the building core and support structure all fail and collapse at the same time before it is hit from the falling material above it?6. How can the collapse happen in a smooth controlled fashion with no 'stuttering' or resistance from each floor falling onto the subsequent floors which should still have all of their support integrity up until impact from above, and in no way before that moment? The evidence contradicts this.The list of obvious errors in the story and requisite denial and coverup call for justice, truth and the necessary awakening of the nescient American population.

I've been in Construction and constructing buildings as a Superintendent since the 70's.
Having put together or worked on many structures in my life consisting of red iron and concrete, there is nothing in this world that is going to convince me that the so called 'pancake method' is what brought down the twin towers, nor that fire brought down buildng 7. It is a physical impossibility. I want to see justice served to whoever is responsible for the demolition of those three builds and the taking of the lives of the people who died that day, starting with Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney.

It doesn't take four years of Harvard to see that this was a controlled demolition. Especially bldg seven. It was not hit. All three bldgs fell into their own footprint. Debris will follow the path of least resistance. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever that four or five floors would crush over a hundred floors of steel.

After years of research regarding 9/11 and being exposed to all of the anomalies that surround the event, I am certain that, with out a shadow of a doubt, the buildings were brought down by some form of explosive event other than the planes purported in the 'official' account. Any rational person that spends a minimal amount of time examining the evidence would come to the same conclusion. It is beyond my understanding why, with all of the solid evidence, this issue has not broken wide open by now. I applaud your organizations efforts to bring this lie out of the shadows and make everyone aware of the sinister and premeditated nature of this event.

Apparently NIST has ignored and denied conflicting evidence. The fact that evidence was destroyed, proves there's a cover-up. Fire doesn't melt steel, and WTC 7 free fall proves US government's reports are not accurate. Professional architects and building contractors need to pursue their theories to honor the people who died on 9/11.

I was involved in the building trade. I have built several buildings in England including hospitals, high rise buildings and schools. My experience was that buildings which I was involved in building were built strong enough that they would not come down by fire alone. Any building I have built that has outlived its usefulness has been brought down with explosives, not by fire.
I have been looking into the events of that day since the evening of 9-11. I thought, as the buildings fell, there was something not right about it. Then, when our BBC reported that Tower 7 had fallen 20 minutes before it had, especially when not hit by a plane and other buildings took much bigger hits yet still stood, I knew it wasn't what the media story said. Then we had all the hallmarks of a conspiracy: misinformation, reports from ground zero of explosions being ignored and the media pushing the story that they knew the culprits before the end of the day. My heart sank as I witnessed our generation's Riechstag.
