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.

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 have a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, Canada and eleven years of professional experience. Currently I am a senior engineer for a Danish company that makes wind turbine blades. I am part of the Composite Mechanics group that is responsible for determining and documenting the mechanical properties of the materials and substructures that are used in the blades. I am also currently attending a masters level fracture mechanics course at DTU (Danish Technical University) in order to become more specialized within my field. Previously I have worked in Vancouver, Canada with hydrogen fuels and their cooling and exhaust gas dilution systems and in Melbourne, Australia as an engineer designing industrial wheels and castors.
From my understanding of solid mechanics, I don't see how a steel constructed skyscraper can collapse under it's own weight at near free fall speed within it's own footprint. Steel is a ductile material and a space frame construction that is overloaded in compression will bend, buckle and twist, but will remain essentially as one structure. In my opinion, the failure mode observed for the twin towers can only be explained by a series of controlled explosions.

The pile of rubble left by the twisted, melted structure was more than half as tall as when the structure stood when in tact. - - - - I have also witnessed the planned implosion of four or more high-rise buildings. - - - - I believe it is very possible that there was much more to the demise of Towers 1 and 2 than just the impact of jets and the power of the fuel they contained.

It was a multi-year legal battle to have to Port Authority of NY/NJ take responsibility for lax security in the underground parking facilities. True, it was aircraft that crashed into the buildings, but what went on before to make that possible?

The September 11th attacks are a difficult issue not because of the science, but the psychology. For years I dismissed the 9/11 truthers without taking the time to listen to their claims, let alone examine the evidence that they had diligently compiled. Even when I finally did look into the issue, I wanted so badly to maintain my world view that I spent weeks looking for something that disproved the claims of the 9/11 truth movement. After failing to find it, I became angry. Why hadn't my engineering professors told me? I realized that, just like me, they had naturally rejected ideas that went against their preconceptions. Now I am trying to become a part of one of the most ridiculed and hated groups in the United States: those who were open minded enough to listen, humble enough to investigate, and motivated enough to do something about it.

I visited NYC the weekend before the 9/11 demolitions and was lucky enough to see the Twin Towers before they disappeared from the landscape. I am fully convinced that Al Qaeda could not have been fully responsible for what happened on 9/11. I have watched 911 Blueprint for Truth and feel it is the most honest, lucid, and probable explanation for how those buildings were destroyed. I do not have any expertise in demolitions, but I understand basic physics concepts such as conservation of energy, conservation of momentum/angular momentum. There must have been additional energy imparted to those structures other than airplane impacts, burning jet fuel, and release of gravitational potential energy in order to take them down in the spectacular shock-and-awe fashion in which they were destroyed.

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.

Neither Tom or I, after having watched the news stories of the event several times could understand how a fire would have caused that type of total and complete collapse. Now we know!

I have viewed different videos of the collapses of the World Trade Center buildings and watched eyewitness accounts of the collapses. After considering people's accounts and the evidence demonstrating how demolished buildings go down, I have reason to believe the government's explanations are not clear or true. For these reasons a private party investigation is needed to uncover the truth of what happened.

There are many flaws in the official story and I think it has been demonstrated that the towers did not fall due to the impact of the planes alone, but from a planned demolition. It is a shame for the US and the whole world. I hope the case is reviewed soon and everyone involved is condemned. This looks like a Pearl Harbor II.

I believe there are too many things that have been covered up or never released wihch leads me to believe we do not know the truth. The evidence captured of the collapse on video is extremely strange, i.e. the windows exploding 20 stories and more below where the building was falling, free fall speed, and no evidence of any concrete floor and/or metal deck! If the building pancaked then where are the floor plates? Why was the steel never investigated and why was it sold to the Chinese so quickly? Too many things were covered up to not believe this was a conspiracy!

I am a New Zealand registered architect with 35 years experience which includes being involved in the construction of several high rise office towers. The structural engineering explanation on how the Twin Towers could not collapse in the way they did by just being hit by airplanes makes a lot of sense to me. The columns would need to be taken out at the base (bomb sabotage in the basement) for the buildings to collapse like a deck of cards, in the way they did
I read the book Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert which gave a very plausible investigation of what possibly happened and who the players possibly were. Proving these terrorist acts is a real challenge as so much of the evidence has been destroyed or discredited. For me an inside job was required to pull it off in the military precision we all witnessed. The motive gave the Bush administration the reason to invade Iraq, (deja-vu for Pearl Harbour) as the Americans do not like going to war

The almost perfect vertical collapse of the 3 buildings seems to indicate the use of explosives at the ground level. Any partial shear or buckling of the columns at the point of impact would have likely caused the superstructures to lean over and fall out of the footprint of the buildings. However this theory as valid as it looks leaves a question mark as to how could it be possible to set up a large complicity that has not been neither discovered nor even suspected.

I received a Bachelor degree in design from UMass Amherst in 1990. I later worked for a structural engineering firm in Virginia for 5 years. In 1998 I received a masters degree in architecture from UVA. I worked as an architect for several years in Boston before moving to Paris in 2005. I have since worked on the design development for 3 high-rise office buildings throughout Europe. I am now the project architect and designer of a 48-storey office tower in La Defense (just outside of Paris) that is to be completed in 2013.
I have been suspicious of how the 3 buildings collapsed since watching them fall live on TV. My doubts about the alleged causes of the collapses have only increased the more I am involved in actual tower design.

I also have 17 years in private practice and have designed schools, performing arts theaters, fire stations. city buildings, and custom houses. I have designed major highway landscape restoration and have written guidelines for major architectural treatment of Interstate 90 infrastructure in Washington State. During my education, I took twenty five credit hours of structural engineering. I am a certified HUD/FHA plans examiner, and a certified FEMA post disaster building inspector.
As an architecture student, I was on the 100th floor of the WTC second tower during its construction. I was personally escorted to the top by one of the head engineers for the buildings. I had an opportunity to see the unclad structure as it was being built. There were no curtain or interior walls Given the size and height of these buildings, I find it totally incongruous that three buildings would pancake almost symmetrically. I would think that there would be uneven failure, melting of the structure, more to one side than another in at least one of the structures. The planes crashed into one side of the buildings, and unevenly - not on a level keel. That, to me would indicate more damage on one side of the building and more on one floor than another. All three buildings seemed to collapse inward on themselves with out relative little damage to nearby buildings in all directions. Why didn't at least one tower upper section tilt and fall to the side. And building seven was not square. If it collapsed from fire, why pancake instead of falling to one side or end where the fire was located? The fire was not in the exact middle. This is all too perfect - more reminiscent of a controlled demolition for ALL three structures. There are far too many coincidences to even discuss here.

I've had 2 years of education in Architectural Engineering, and studied architecture under the direction of architects for another 12 years before becoming a licensed professional. I've been a licensed Architect since 2003. I've worked in the industry since 1978.
There are areas showing upward vertical debris that leave question. I've been involved in architecture for a long time. Many of my projects have required controlled demolition. Upward vertical debris usually is the result of charges going off late in the demolition, much like that visible in the videos taken of the world trade center.
