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 witnessed the demolition collapse. The collapse and statements from the rescue workers confirmed molten steel which cannot occur from jet fuel heat but does occur from incendiary type demolition explosives. This and the steel framed structure failure requires better explanation than the official version. Even the monument girder in Jersey City shows evidence of extreme heat (heat compatible with incendiary type demolition explosives). There are too many unanswered questions.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering, a B.S. in Engineering Physics. My emphasis has been on the seismic retrofit of existing structures for masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.
Buildings with localized damage to vertical structural elements (columns) cannot collapse globally and in a uniform fashion. This is a physical impossibility never once observed prior to 9/11/2001. Steel is a ductile material (it flexes, deforms, stretches, large amounts before fracture). In the case of all three WTC towers, ductile behavior is not observed. We see no large deformations of the columns prior to collapse. Instead, we observe sudden, catastrophic failure. No energy is dissipated through deformation. A free-fall collapse. Impossible in a structure where columns are not hinged (i.e. severed at the floors).

Experienced in almost every type of welding, 35 yrs in business. We do every type of structural welding (including thermite), all types of pipe specializing in purge process, all types of alloy welding, and are generally well versed in all types of welding with the exception of underwater processes.
When I watched the news and watched the buildings fall, I turned to my wife and said "that was an implosion." We do work on high rises and are very aware of how well those beams are protected. Also, there is not enough heat produced by burning jet fuel to cause any kind of steel failure. Some sag maybe but that would be the extent of it. No building collapses into it's own footprint without demolition.

My colleagues and I want answers, and we want the people responsible for 9/11 to be punished. Way too much money and too many lives have been spent on fighting 'terrorism'. This is what the US media brainwashes all our citizens with, instead of informing us of the facts about what actually happened on that day. Americans need to be informed and educated so more people can stand up and make a difference.

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 practice as a doctor, but I have enough engineering background to understand the data presented. For many years I believed the government version of the events. Then I started looking at some documentaries and doubts began to creep in. Finally, ae911truth.org presented the hard evidence I was looking for.

As thoroughly explained by Steve Jones and Richard Gage, the free-fall symmetrical collapse of the 3 WTC buildings on September 11, 2001 cannot physically be caused by fire alone. The law of conservation of momentum demands that the lower floors be blown out in advance from the path of the falling upper floors, so that their inertia does not slow down their fall. This can easily be proven using simple high school physics. An engineering degree, architectural degree or Ph.D. is not required to understand this.

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.

I, like a lot of people that I know or have known, believed the original story from the beginning but after the years have gone by and after all the overwhelming evidence that has been published I no longer do so. I grieve for the families of the victims and believe they above all deserve the truth.

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.
