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 don't believe that the three buildings came down as a result of fires. They were steel buildings, and, from what I have read, jet fuel does not burn hot enough to burn steel. Also, the free-fall of the buildings appear to be that of a controlled demolition, not due to fires. The buildings came down so fast, and without stopping at each floor level, which doesn't seem possible, unless the columns were pulled out, as would have been done to start a controlled demolition.

So many of our beliefs are given to us -- and never questioned. And many of these beliefs are myths. And many of these myths are not useful. We need to begin to wake up! At some point, our cognitive dissonance no longer allows us to not question our myths. The 9/11 myth, unfortunately, strikes me as another obvious forgery. While this is only one of the myths we need to abandon, it is, to me, a smoking gun. Our nation, and our decisions, need to be based upon an open analysis of data with integrity -- not myths. Ultimately, can a nation or people that places myth before truth be successful?

I was brought to this when I put a design into the 9/11 Ground Zero Memorial Competition. The competition proved to be a scam as in essence Maya Linn's design was chosen and she was the power/head juror. That led me to the rebuild effort of the entire site which led me to stand on the rooftops five years ago screaming..GOLDMAN SACHS. Why? They made out like the biggest bandits of all the rich old white guys backslapping themselves all the way to the bank. Next..wow, it was an inside job. Seek and ye shall find for yourselves.

I've documented many buildings, their operations and have, over the years, asked many people, who are building engineers, about the events of 9/11. I hear from both sides and more and more people begin to lean toward the something wasn't right about the event side. I have studied building destruction, for visual effects reasons, and have found that the way the buildings' collapse just doesn't make any real sense. There is something behind all of this that doesn't add up. Too many holes in the 9/11 commission report. I just want, like everyone else on this site and elsewhere, another investigation that just shows the WHOLE truth in written plain black and white American-English. That's all.

From my experience with aluminum and bronze alloys in the casting industry, I am aware of the difference between the melting temperatures of certain alloys such as aluminum and steel. At the same time, my experience with mechanical and physical testing of materials makes it difficult to believe the NIST conclusion that the collapse of WTC building 7 was attributed to the fire in that building alone. The basic fundementals of mechanics of materials and structural analysis of the steel columns makes the NIST conclusion difficult to accept based on scientific and engineering principals. A futher investigation using a scientific approach applied to the steel columns of this building was required in order to determine the actual contributing and root cause of the building collapse including the distorted condition of the salvaged steel from 09/11/2001.

You guys rock!!!
After seeing the victims standing in the opening of the planes entrance sites on the towers, and taking in to account that many victims in the upper floors of Tower 2 were able to walk past the fires to safety, proves that the fires lacked the intensity to bring down the buildings at near free fall speed...within 50 minutes of impact!!!

The work being done by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and by Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, questions the explanation of collapse given by the 9/11 Commission and NIST. The statement that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by controlled demolition is proven conclusively by the empirical evidence and basic physics. One only needs to look at conservation of energy to see this.

I hold a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from Uppsala University and a Master of Environmental Engineering degree from The University of Queensland. I have knowledge in engineering thermodynamics, combustion and other important skills.
I calculate the collapse of a 417 m high building at 9.22 sec in vacuum which is consistent with the 417 m high WTCs 1&2 which proves highly effective removal of resistance, which cannot happen naturally. To reach the steel melting point of 1500 degrees C requires about 400% air combustion and additional use of an effective energy source such as methane. These were not the natural circumstances on 911 which proves the use of explosives or similar.

Average American concerned citizen! Calling for a truthful investigation, not another 'Warren Report.' ANY reasonable, rational person cannot be expected to believe NIST and FEMA reports that are insults to our intelligence and what we see in the footage!
As a kid in the sixties I completely remember reading articles in the NY Times and Life mag about the Towers and how they will withstand a full on collision with a fully loaded 707. I remember this! You can't tell me those planes each brought down those massive buildings in a matter of a little over an hour!

Having cut my political teeth on the Kennedy assassination, it is not hard to imagine how far ruthless individuals will go in the names of money and power. Like the Warren Commission, the government's 9/11 investigation and final report are most noteworthy for their refusal to use the scientific method of investigation, to take all evidence into account, and produce a credible report. I think an important next step is to tie the evidence from the architects and engineers with the political evidence to not only understand the 'what,' but also the 'why.'

I have a high school diploma and took mechanical drafting at Tulsa Vo-tech. I became employed in 1989 at a trucking company where I worked with steel (torching, bending, welding, etc.). In 1999, I went to work for a sheet metal fabrication company. We constructed ventilation ducts for many large buildings, including airports, schools, hotels, convention centers, etc. I have returned to trucking and, in my position, still use my skills. I have also built personal homes and have experience in remodeling.
In my experience working with steel, there is no way we should be seeing molten steel pour from the skyscraper before collapse. Jet fuel and office fires do not have the ability to blow the steel away like that. You must keep a torch on steel for some time with an accelerator to get results like that.

Obtained my Leaving Certificate at Adelaide Boys High School in 1967 and joined the Australia and New Zealand Bank. I became a Bank Manager in 1990. I'm now Retired.
I watched the destruction of the Towers on TV, here in Australia. When I saw the plane seemingly fly INTO the building, before exploding inside the building, my immediate reaction was, 'This is Fake'. The plane (if it was really a stock commercial aircraft) would have completely disintegrated on the building's exterior (being made of lightweight materials....and hitting an object that weighed multi-thousands of tonnes). Later I saw Building 7 fall into its own footprint without a plane hitting it at all, which is simply NOT POSSIBLE for a modern multi-story building. I have since seen Larry Silverstein actually ADMITTING that he and the NYFD 'decided to pull the building'... He admitted that HE did it! (The NYFD has since admitted they have no expertise in 'pulling' a high rise building).
