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.

Having watched the 'attack' on live television at 4:30 in the afternoon in central Europe, what was shown to the rest of the world leaves it clear in my mind why a distaste for Americans has developed the world over. My main fear about 9/11 is the amount of secrecy that enveloped 'ground zero.' By not allowing independent investigators access to the site seems awfully convenient. Another 'convenience' occurred when building 7, holding valuable CIA and DoD information, collapsed as neatly as the Twin Towers without having been directly damaged. The ever-growing list of questions concerning the events that September morning MUST be investigated if we are to accept the fate of a war justified by such an act.

The official story doesn't match the evidence. In particular the damage of an outer load bearing steel structure through a thin aluminium sheet metal plane is not likely. Furthermore the acceleration (and disintegration) of the upper part of the building is clear evidence of a controlled demolition (compare also videos of failed controlled demolitions where the upper half is still standing).

I have a B.S. in civil engineering, and I am a licensed civil engineer in the state of California. I practice in the field of structural engineering, on both new designs and retrofits.
Even to a layman, the collapse of WTC 7 looks exactly like a building demolition. If I prepared a report on a structural failure and didn't justify my results and provide full data and calculations, models and tests, I would probably get fired. Yet NIST got away with this in their report on WTC 7. A truly scientific study on the collapse of tower 7 with peer review and no agenda or political bias should be performed.

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

Although I have studied electronics, and not construction I have still had many of the basic physics-courses offered by DTU. Although university level physics is not necessary to understand the very basic physical laws involved in the collapse of buildings. And in my opinion there is no doubt, whatsoever, that the official story - especially around building 7 - is invalid. When one starts to look at the evidence presented by my colleagues around the world, it becomes absolutely clear that a fresh, INDEPENDENT, investigation is necessary. Even if one subtracts the usual conspiracy-theories around such event, and even if only 10% of the evidence is valid, it is still more than enough to initiate another inquiry.

I am completely and hole heartily convinced that the collapses that occurred on 9/11 were caused by planted explosives and intentionally caused to set into motion other events that have yet to be completely understood. The events that took place prior to and during 9/11 are likely just the tip of an ice berg. The world deserves to know the truth!

The 9/11 scenario is deeply sophisticated and used a very sharp logistic. - - - - Let's suppose that 9/11 was orchestrated by Arabic Muslims. If these later are specialist in this kind of logistic, they would have remove a country as Israel which has created in the heart of the Arabic World since 61 years. In fact, before attacking USA, it's much easier, for Arabic Muslims, to attack Israel. But nobody dare to do that. So my supposition is impossible. - - - - 9/11 is orchestrated by a Big Power as US Government to prove to the World that they are threaten by Islam and terrorists. - - - - Unfortunately, US Government has succeed his hit. And all the World fell into their trap.

Like many other professionals I'm concerned about the visual evidence of controlled demolition of the three WTC buildings seen on many videos. This concern is reinforced by Niels Harrit et al's recent scientific analysis of the dust from the site finding nano-thermite - an advanced military explosive. It is furthermore reinforced by Hamilton's ignorance of the fact that the collapse of building seven is not mentioned at all in the report from the 9/11 Commission as expressed in a Canadian TV interview. He apparently had not read his own report. What I find especially alarming is the claim put forward by former Vice president Dick Cheney that an even greater similar catastrophe will happen again soon and then with nuclear explosives. This might become a terrible reality if a real investigation is not performed soon and the truth brought to the surface.

Graduated from Berkeley in 1962 - the beginning of the radical years. HUAC hearings in San Francisco, blatant government lies about Vietnam, CIA involvement in Central and South America, all these things make me very suspicious. The truth needs to be exposed. I'm perfectly happy to accept that no conspiracy happened on 9/11 if it can be demonstrated, but we must know the facts.
This has always seemed strange to me, along with the Pentagon attack where no photographs actually show penetration by an airplane. Whether there was a conspiracy or not, when the government hides facts and information there must be more investigation.

The collapse of a single structure under the circumstances of the events of 9/11/01 is improbable. Three steel structures collapsing vertically at free fall speed, one not even impacted, is inconceivable. - - My training and experience tells me that Tower 7 should have failed asymmetrically, if at all.

How did the 3rd building (WTC7) fall? It was not hit by a plane. It had relatively minor fires burning within and its collapse was reported by the BBC approximately 1/2 hour before it fell with a picture of the building in the background of the reporter's reporting of the story. That clip used to be on YouTube before they pulled it off. It fell completely into its own footprint and looks exactly like a controlled demolition. A building is similar to a tree. If you weaken part of it; for example. by chainsawing part of the trunk then it will fall to the ground on an angle. However, if you take it down in a controlled way, by cutting off pieces at a time then it will come down in a controlled fashion. The same thing had to happen with the 2 large towers. The airplane strikes were a foil or a smokescreen for the controlled demolition explosives placed throughout the buildings. If the airplanes were responsible for their destruction then both would have fallen on an angle into the surrounding city blocks. Instead, they came down at near free fall speed into their own footprints.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

I am a non-licensed, practicing freelance architectural designer. I have had my own business for 15 years, before that I interned in various architectural firms and was a store planner for about 5 years. - - - - I have a BA degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley. I graduated in 1985. After raising my children...I am now contemplating getting my license, finally.
Being from the architectural/engineering field...I have always been fascinated about the collapse of the two towers. I, like many people, viewed the conspiracy tapes on www.youtube.com showing these supposed bombs going off as the towers fell. Frankly...what I saw didn't convince me of any nefarious actions. - - - - I never did quite understand how the building's collapsed completely within it's footprint....instead of tipping over. That always puzzled me greatly. I, like most of America, bought the pablum that they fed us.....it was the fires from the planes that melted the support columns. The fire proofing was either missing from the columns (as they were in the process of retrofitting this at the time of the collapse) or it was knocked off from the impact of the jets. - - - - I read many items on these theories...including a book called 102 Minutes, which pretty much settled my curiosity about any doubts I had. However, I'm not a scientist, or structural engineer so I just accepted what was said....but always had a kernel of doubt still in my mind. - - - - So I hear Richard Gage on KGO, San Francisco this morning and BECAUSE of his expertise and his eloquent explanation about the forensic facts and basic science disproving the story we were given....I sat up and took notice. I think many people are afraid to voice their doubts for fear of sounding like a nut....but when science enters into the facts...I think people will listen. I did.

Type 1 - fireproofed structural steel in buildings just would not melt and cause a controlled collapse in the manner shown as all three buildings did. The structural steel beams and columns had spray fireproofing on it and the buildings had fire sprinklers. The collapse of these building is even more unlikely given the time it took from impact of the planes till collapse.

Continued at University of Oregon 1966-68, with time spent in the U.S. Army in Vietnam 68-69, then back to U of O in 70-72 obtaining a Bachelor of Architecture. Three year apprenticeship working mostly on school buildings and branch banks. Became licensed in Oregon 1976. After experiencing a couple Architectural offices, I formed a partnership with an individual I served my apprenticeship under and the office survived for 28 years. The last 26 years we worked for mainly for only two clients. We did pubs and breweries, hotels, golf ranges, and then more pubs, hotels and golf resort related facilities. A note here: All these hotels and pubs are unique and very special here in the PNW.
I watched the 911 event on television. Although I didn't see the first airplane strike the first tower, I did watch the second plane strike the second tower and then all the other events at the Pentagon. I wasn't aware of Bldg. 7 until later. At the time, I couldn't believe what I saw, and knowing what I know about steel building structures and airplane airframes and skins, I knew that the building shredded the plane like French fries and as to the weight of the plane, I knew that that would not be a problem. So when the building came down I was speechless. I think I said, 'No, that can't happen', but it did. When I became aware of Building 7, I joined this group of A & E''s. Building 7 came down in a controlled demolishing fashion, it was so obvious. I have been watching Richard Gage's efforts and research ever since. Most of my piers don't want to get involved and I don't understand that, other than it is high stress and they already exist in a high stress industry. High stress such as this event s not healthy, most just want to move on. I understand that but continue to send letters to my Senators to review information on 911 Truth's web page. Did it last week stressing the research and data collected on Building 7 in an effort to get NIST to do the right thing.

In this case, it doesn't take an expert to comprehend the massive energy necessary to pulverize these major high-rise towers. They were built to last. As such, buildings like this just don't turn to dust in a matter of seconds as a result of fire coupled with the force of gravity. Other buildings similar to Seven experienced fires of greater duration and intensity and did not dissolve. Only these three buildings disappeared into a cloud of dust taking with them thousands of souls. Why?

The free-fall collapse of the fire protected steel-frame structure of World Trade Center #7 could not have been caused by the limited structural damage and office fires which were observed prior to collapse. The actual scientific/forensic evidence (i.e. Thermate particles in the dust and molten steel during debris extraction), calls into question the official 9/11 Commission report (NIST) and points to a professionally controlled demolition by incendiary devices.

Seeing videos of 'Building seven' falling 'free fall' straight down I began to question the official explanation. Controlled demolition comes to my mind. Free fall only occurs if there is no support. WTC building 7`s entire upper half is observed to free fall several floors. I doubt NIST's explanation that simple fires caused a simultaneous collapse of all the static structures and to make the observed building collapse possible. Repeatedly claims of finding nanothermite in the debris could explain some ... I doubt NIST's`explanation on the cause of the WTC 1 and 2 collapses.

I think the actual collapse of the towers came as such a shock to most people because it was so unexpected and unprecedented. I think most people are aware, deep down, that buildings of this nature do not suddenly come crashing down as they did. I think the strange collapse of WTC 7 really enabled me to take a detached and objective view of the destruction of the three towers and the events of 911 as a whole.
