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'd like to know the truth about the 9/11 tragedy, what really transpired within, who shall be responsible for the lives lost, and when will the truth come out? Based on some technical and scientific analysts I've searched and seen on the net (testimonies and videos), it seems that the 9/11 tragedy was planned and executed almost perfectly (before, during, and after). This is evidently shown on the collapse (demolition) of Building 7 and mysterious flight 77 which allegedly hit and damaged the Pentagon. I believe everyone deserves to know the truth.

I am an architect who retired in 2010 from the State of California Department of Transportation, Division of Engineering Services, after having worked a combined 29 years in Transportation Architecture and Project Management. Buildings I designed include numerous maintenance stations, an equipment shop, roadside rest areas, a tunnel ventilation building, and light rail transit stations. Many of these buildings were steel frame, all were in California. Before coming to Caltrans, I worked for Liske, Lionakis, Beaumont, & Engberg Architects and Engineers, where I designed the Pacific Telephone Administrative Complex in Rohnert Park, CA, which is also a steel frame building.
' Why were two extremely tall buildings (110 stories - 1,362 feet), completely destroyed, after burning for less than two hours, each coming straight down, symmetrically, at freefall speed, all elements characteristic of a controlled demolition, rather than toppling to the side and failing only partially if at all? - - ' Why did Building 7collapse? It was 47 stories high (571 feet), steel frame, more than 300 feet from the nearest tower (WTC 1), was not hit by an airplane, had no significant fire, and yet it too was completely destroyed coming straight down, symmetrically, at freefall speed as if by controlled demolition. - - ' What materials in the WTC provided the fuel to generate enough heat (2,500 degrees F) to create the pools of molten steel reported by firefighters and cleanup crews, when jet fuel has an open air burning temperature of 600 degrees F and a maximum burning temperature of 1,800 degrees F? - - ' Why did the US Government spend only $600,000 to investigate the collapse of all three WTC skyscrapers, when it spent $40 million to investigate Clinton's sex life?

The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 are all very similar to a controlled building demolition as opposed to a collapse cause by localized impact high in the building. The official government findings do not offer a reasonable explanation for this collapse. A thorough and scientifically credible investigation and disclosure of the actual means of collapse is needed for the public and professional community to understand how this national disaster happened.

I recently graduated from an ABET accredited M.E. program at Grove City College. I have taken the first steps in becoming a P.E., passing the F.E. exam and actively searching for work in an engineering-related field. I have worked with automation and quality assurance, and I am currently working as a CNC Operator.
The ASME code of ethics establishes the responsibility for engineers to 'hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public' and to strive to maintain this responsibility with honesty and impartiality. As an engineer, it is my duty to question the integrity of work others have done if the welfare of the public is at risk. Having an understanding of the scientific method, I recognize the failure in the National Institute of Standards and Technology organization for conducting a negligent investigation where many important questions were not answered and pertinent evidence was mishandled. I support the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization's petition calling for an independent investigation into the possible use of explosives that may have resulted in the structural failure of the World Trade Center buildings.

Occupation: Cad/Bim Designer
I graduated in 1989 from California State University, Sacramento with a BS in mechanical engineering technology. I've helped design and create plans for water/wastewater plants for HDR Engineering for 16 years.
I've actually done the math: an analysis of Building 7 collapse acceleration. The standard kinematic equations were used to compute the speed of the building collapse. Note that these equations don't take many 'real-life' factors into account, such as air resistance, friction, and temperature. They are used to compute a theoretical 'ideal case' for use in the lab. Known data: g = 32.2 ft/s^2 (acceleration of gravity) d = 610 ft (height of bldg 7) vi = initial velocity (zero since bldg was at rest) vf = final velocity (in a vacuum) t = 6.5 seconds (elapsed time of collapse of bldg 7, according to picture found here: http://buildingwhat.org/wptemp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wtc7_collapse.jpg). Mathematical symbols used below: / = division ^ = exponent (ie; ^2 means squared) ( ) = multiplication. EXERCISE: Find percent of bldg 7 acceleration compared to free fall. Final velocity (using 3rd equation above) after 6.5 seconds: vf = 0 + 32.2(6.5) = 209.3 ft/sec. Now we can use vf in the 4th equation to get the distance something would travel in a vacuum. If this is close to the actual bldg height, this means that bldg 7 fell quickly, with relatively little restriction, like a controlled demolition would. d = vi + vf/2(t)d = 0 + 209.3/2(6.5)d = 680.2 ft. The percent change between the bldg height and free fall height is: %change = old value ' new value/old value(100). %change = 680.2 ' 610/680.2(100). %change = 10.3%. SOLUTION: Building 7 fell at 100% - 10.3% = 89.7% of free fall acceleration. CONCLUSION: Building 7 fell at roughly 90% of free fall acceleration. This seems like a high percentage for a large modern structure that was supposedly still being held up by structural steel beams and/or reinforced concrete columns. Mike Davis, 11/27/2010

I quit the AIA over its lack of interest in this issue. Without insisting on a thorough explanation of what transpired on 9/11, the AIA simply cannot claim to represent the architectural profession. - - - - I didn't see video footage of the collapses until 2005. At that point I spent months searching the web for more information. At the end of the day, the deliberate demolition is obvious. The reasons for doing so are incomprehensible - which is why many people refuse to acknowledge reality. The reality however, is that multiple crimes were committed, and crimes need to be investigated and the criminals brought to justice. They never were in Iraq.

I have had broad experience in the planning, design & engineering of multi-story, braced-frame and moment-resisting steel frame structures including office towers and large scale institutional complexes.
After reviewing the data presented by the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Organization and through my independent assessment of the data I have reviewed, and based on my 40+ years of professional experience, I have concluded that it would be nearly impossible for any of the principal World Trade Center Towers to collapse in the manner or in the recorded time frame as a result of any fire or explosion caused solely by the impact of terrorist-guided aircraft alone. Braced steel frame buildings simply don't collapse in a symmetrical manner with a uniform plume of debris in 102 or 56 minutes respectively with modern structural design standards and state-of-the-art life-safety systems which must be continuously inspected by local building inspectors based on ever increasing performance standards centered on human survival.

The official conspiracy theory describing the events of 11 September 2001 (9-11) defies logic from beginning to end. The NIST and FEMA investigation of the 3 WTC buildings' collapse defies logic and physics. If it looks, smells, and tastes like controlled demolition, it probably is controlled demolition.

How is it possible that such a massive structure with steel core, collapses by fire strictly vertically? How is it possible that material gets blasted out of the building so far if fire is the cause of the collapse? Why was there such a high temperature at the base of the building several days after 9/11? Why could comparable buildings resist fire over more time an did not collapse?

Given that the need for a new Pearl Harbor was announced by the crafters & signers of The Project for a New American Century in order to hasten their objectives TWO FULL YEARS before the 9/11 operation took place; I was not completely surprised when it happened. There is a huge old secret government WW2 bunker under Grand Central Terminal in NYC. It so happens has private rail line connecting into the rest of the subway system. Cheney uses this system regularly to this day. (as seen on the Discovery Channel) I believe it is the logical the staging area for the men and materiel needed to place the devices in WTC 1,2 & 7..... in my opinion.

So many things I have heard and seen about the destruction of the twin tower buildings, I did not understand. I thought my material science and building construction lectures set me up pretty well with all the principals if not all the mathematics. So how come the buildings just dropped like a stone? Why didn't they fall sideways? The planes did not hit dead centre! and they hit more columns on one side! Why does the mast on top of the building start collapsing before the top deck? Why does the top of the building just start breaking up straight away? Why does it not move as one piece above where the planes hit? Why was there so much dust, billowing clouds,surely not including asbestos? Then they fall down in less than 3 hours? (approx 80minutes and 120minutes) Whats wrong with the Fireproofing? What sort of fuel burns hotter than diesel or petrol also stored in these buildings? What destroys the fireproofing and melts steel, not just makes it sag. Why Molten Metal in the basements weeks after the collapse? Whelen the Wrecker men with boots too hot to wear? Despite continually flooding the basement the fires continue to burn without oxygen. Then a third 47 Storey WTC building fell, again dropping like a stone, despite only being hit by the main tower only on one side. In the Towering Inferno movie the building stays up, time for people to get out despite chaos. We as architects and engineers need to know how to stop the next terrorist plane knocking down one of our buildings.

I believe that the WTC 7 was a controlled demolition and that we must have a real investigation of all three high-rise collapses on September 11, 2001. I was particularly swayed by the evidence presented in the video showing uniform free fall collapse of WTC 7. This visual information is in stark contrast to the non-uniform fire and debris damage resulting from the north tower collapse.

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 think the main reason many people don't want to even consider the possibility (some say certainty) that the reasons for the WTC collapse is that it makes you consider the implications--the who/what/whys...and forces you to consider some ideas so horrible and evil that no one would want to face it. But reluctance is not a valid reason for not seeking the answer.

After viewing the information on AE9/11 Truth website, there should be no question, for anyone with the slightest knowledge of construction, that WTC 1, 2 and 7 were all controlled-demolitions. That fact alone indicates an inside job that unquestionably implicates many in our own government. Who else could orchestra such terrorism as all that happened on 9/11 and then so quickly mask it all by mass-hypnosis through the media? It's time to awaken America from their hypnosis to the truth of what happened on 9/11. - - - - Thank you Richard Gage and all others for taking the lead to organize us as a body to try to bring justice to those guilty of 1st degree mass-murder of all those who died that day.

I believe that there needs to be an independent investigation into the collapse of these buildings as there are many questions which are unanswered. The inconclusive results from the government investigation is not acceptable. I believe that especially building 7 is highly suspect of foul play as it came down in it's own footprint with only minor damage from the twin towers.

I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

Not necessarily disputing geo-social origins of: the hi-jacked plane(s), etc. My opinion is strictly limited to the physical collapse. - - In my opinion, the collapse(s) were possibly mechanically / explosively-assisted. By many accounts these buildings housed some very important tenants, which may keep very important information files, etc. There is the possibility that these buildings have been pre-wired to be demolished if security were ever to be breached in a major way. Anecdotaly speaking: remember the opening scenes of the original Mission Impossible?...this tape will self-destruct in 30 seconds. In my opinion the term pull it had to do with orders to destroy the properties due to un-avoidable security breaches that would ensue as a result of a myriad of persons going into previously secured areas of the buildings....thus the twin towers and the third building. This is my own opinion, I have never read this nor heard this anywhere. It is only my opinion/theory.

It is so obvious that WTC 7 could not have fallen so perfectly given the official story. There must be a truly unbiased investigation conducted.

I think there are enough questions about the collapse of the Twin Towers and, in particular, Building 7, that further investigation is essential to know what really happened that day.

There is no scientific means that the crash of the jets and subsequent fires could have caused the structural failure and collapse of Tower 7 and Towers 1,2. If well observed in all collapses one can see demolition blasts sequences as the tower come down. Surely they must be thermite charges because they are the only type explosive that could generate the heat for structural steel failure and sequential collapse. Also when one sees the vaporization of human and material remains and the debris pike below glowed at 3000 degrees f with thermite traces, it is obvious it was a black ops operation.

On 9/11 I felt, no that cannot be, that is not right. I just saw 3 buildings destroyed by controlled demolition. It immediately made me perk up and pay attention. I began to wonder what this meant. after a week of news it became apparent this was much more than everyone was thinking. The witnesses were saying there were explosions / I thought the idea of pancaking was contradictory to the structure I knew the towers had. These buildings just could not free-fall without some kind of explosive help getting rid of key core columns.

I practiced architecture in Dallas, Texas as an architect-of-record for 18 years and carried architectural registrations in 21 states. 10 years ago I founded Archline CAD Services, which offers architectural CAD working drawings exclusively to architects. Our company has present and past architect-clients in 26 states, the US Virgin Islands and overseas. We have 8 architecturally trained and professionally qualified CAD production teams in 4 countries.
For years I have been curious about the real nature, not just of the collapses of the three Manhattan towers, but also the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. I have attended several AIA sponsored seminars on the subject, but none of them presented any probing questions about the disasters.

Seems to me that since explosives had been planted in WTC towers before 9/11 and the fact that the WTC 9/11 plane crashes weren't random (the towers were the target). It seems quite logical that some additional explosives were planted within the towers via insider or security breach to increase destructive impact of attack on towers.
