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.

While my current work is in data systems, I do have civil engineering BS & MS degrees from UW Madison including core STEMs, materials and structural analysis & design.
I also have some small structural design & build professional experience prior to grad school. Since graduate school, I’ve been mostly in information systems for transportation, hydrology, design visualization, aviation & supply chain.
I consider myself an aviation professional through my work with pilots, AMDB/FMS charting & navigation data & systems.
Having STEMs qualifications, I’ve understood for most of the last 25 years the observations we have of the 9/11 events defy physics and logic unless explosives and false flag conspiracy are introduced into the system.
There are so many manifestations but it comes down to the amount of energy demonstrated. It takes energy to remove the columns, it takes energy to pulverize and melt concrete, it takes energy to generate a pyroclastic cloud, and it takes energy for ground zero to reach 1,300 degrees 5 days after. Ground Zero was still melting boots in mid NY December after millions of gallons of water was pumped on it.
There is no reason for any heat after a gravity collapse which would actually smother any conventional fires. Only a thermite-like substance would create molten steel or continue to burn in an anaerobic environment under water for 2.5 months.

Graduated in Civil Engineering in 1984 on a 4 year degree that consisted of 6 Months at University and 6 Months work industrial work. I was sponsored by Balfour Beatty ( a large UK construction company ) and worked for them for a total of 7 years mainly on Power Transmission Lines, TV masts and Bridges.I also worked as a structural engineer for Eastwood and Partners who are consulting engineers in Sheffield, England on projects including the design of the structural frame (part steel, part reinforced concrete) for a large factory (the size of 2 football pitches)
All major structures have their strongest points at the center of the building. Even the most basic of structural engineers knows that collapse occurs through the line of least resistance and NOT under any circumstances through the line of GREATEST resistance.Since all 3 buildings collapsed in upon themselves to the center, then the center had clearly become the weakest point in all 3 buildings. The ONLY way that the strongest point is going to change into to the weakest point is if there is a controlled demolition to make it so.

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?

High school and 3 years college, plus a lot of self education. My experience is that the government is run by corporate greed. My family had a cattle ranch and they took our land that we wintered our cattle on using eminent domain, which led to us having to sell off all our cattle. When I tried using some of our other land as a music venue they came in with 90 officers and a black hawk helicopter. They beat up multiple people, including myself, and arrested 27 of us. We filed a civil suit and they dropped the charges but have kidnapped and incarcerated me on multiple occasions for trumped up charges. This all started in the early 90's and continues to this day.
Obviously brought down by demolition explosives. I believe the government did this so they could have their never ending war on terror and to pass the patriot act.

Clearly building demolitions, as the fires weren't near the temperature to bend steel let alone melt it as was seen. Also, some pictures clearly showed columns cut at about 45 degrees at the base of the Towers. No fire has collapsed a high rise building ever in the history of high rises, but we're to believe that this happened 3 times on 9/11....?

Just an educated chef. Nothing special which is why I find it so strange that someone of my nature sees the obvious in all the lies. This needs to get out. The truth needs to get out.
My sister joined the military after 9/11 because she felt patriotic and wanted to help the good fight. I believe she was lied to, as well as many others that may have taken these actions, under a false flag, to become slaves to the government deserve to hear the truth.All the people that lost their lives, that day and everyday since and their families deserve to hear the truth.All the evidence that I've seen and shared has told me that the official story is a farce and I am looked at as a conspiracy theorist. The more people that know the truth, the stronger we all are.

Would somebody please explain how a building can collapse at near free fall speed unless the structural resistance has been eliminated first?Jet fuel (kerosene) burns@ 800 - 1,500 degrees & steel melts @ 2750'F. If the steel only had to lose structural strength to then why didn't the towers flop over like wet noodles instead of dropping into the basement in a nice neat fashion normally associated with controlled demolitions? Explain large structure fires that burn for weeks and leave a skeleton behind?

Most of my life I have worked in blue collar or low level administrative jobs. In my late forties I graduated from Indiana University Southeast with a B.A. in Economics and Philosophy. I then attended University of Kentucky's graduate school of philosophy for one year where I taught courses in Introductory Logic. I subsequently taught several courses in Introductory Logic, Introductory Ethics and Introductory Philosophy at Indiana University Southeast.
I have watched the three buildings come down many times with many different theories offered as to the how, who, and what--from controlled demolitions to directed energy weapons to nuclear explosions in the basements that funneled like a volcano up the buildings. Each of these three theories seems to explain certain phenomena better than the other two. However, although I have no expertise in architecture or engineering, I did take a physics course in high school. I can observe how the three buildings collapsed. I can hear the on scene statements of firefighters and other eye witnesses. I am able to listen to experts in the relevant fields. Without a truly independent and thorough investigation, I can only conclude that something besides jet impact, kerosene fireballs, or black smoke fires is responsible for the buildings collapse.

Below is a link to the Zoom lecture I gave in October 2020.October 14, 2020Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Presenter: George Davidson (SSI Member)Over 3500 architects and engineers have signed a petition calling upon the U.S. Congress to open a truly independent investigation into the World Trade Center destruction. Why? Their goal is to move our collective understanding of the WTC destruction beyond the misinformation so that we as a society may arrive at an accurate understanding of one of the most important events in our recent history. During this class you will see and hear what these experts have to say. Learn the truth, learn the facts. Your beliefs should match the facts and not the other way around - when people change the facts to match their beliefs the result is cognitive dissonance. The cure? Truth.

I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology. I have spent countless hours in the past six years researching the events of 9/11.
The official conspiracy story presented by the 9/11 Commission completely defies the laws of physics and fails to present any evidence that the aeroplanes alone, and the subsequent fires that they ignited, could have brought down all three WTC buildings. However, there is overwhelming evidence that counteracts this story and suggests that the Towers where brought down in a controlled demolition using nano-thermite and explosives.

Official story is Bs. Jet fuel does not get hot enough in the ignition or burning process to melt steel. Also, most of the fuel would have been used upon the initial explosion.
