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 have a master's degree in civil engineering from the Institut des Sciences Appliqu'es of Lyon, France and a Certificate of High Studies in Reinforced and Prestrain Concrete (CHEBAP) from the Centre des Hautes Etudes de la Construction of Paris. I'm currently working as a structural engineer.
The crash of the plane has caused the destruction of several columns and then overloaded the columns which was remaining and then could have created a phenomenon of buckling in chain. Nevertheless it is impossible that this happen at the speed of a free fall approximatively. It implies huge supply of energy in the critic sections of the column, such energy brought by the reaction of thermite sounds very plausible.Plus, I'm not an expert in demolition but the collapse of WTC7 is way too clean to be characterized as accidental.

In my view the collapse of the three towers/buildings was not due to the impact of two planes and an office fire. Visual, sound and witness material makes a controlled demolition with thermite/thermate use much, much more likely. The official narrative just does not fit in so many ways. This is wrong. - - - - I'd like to see the truth come to light for the freedom and good of all people in the world, especially for the American people who seem to been betrayed behind their back without knowing and are factually lied to, to this day.

worked as a Mechanical Engineer in railway engineering for 20 years. Much of the work involved stress analysis of rolling stock ie. modification of existing rolling stock for specialized applications.
I first questioned the official story when a French Journalist pointed out the hole in the pentagon was too small to have been made by a commercial aircraft. I then viewed the video 911 mysteries. That convinced me. I then questioned the symmetry of the 3 wtc buildings and the fact that they fell through the path of greatest resistance at near free fall speed. Evidence of nano thermate found by Dr. Jones and by analyzed by a PHD from Denmark was further evidence. The fact that the concrete was pulverized takes a great deal of energy more than that of concrete floors crashing into concrete floors. Then huge structural beams are found embedded in nearby buildings and some thrown as far as 600 ft takes a major lateral force. A collapsing building does not generate lateral force. I see the impact of an aircraft against steel structure somewhat as a beercan being crushed against a steel beam. Why weren't engines and wings found on the ground. After all the perimeter beams are substantial and the plane would have had to shear a large number of them in order to enter the building. It is not easy to shear large box beams with an aluminum structure, particularly given that an aircraft is not constructed with the safety factor of a steel framed building. There are many other things that defy logic but much of it is conjecture and would only serve as fodder for debunkers so I choose not to go there.

Even though it may not be easy to see, it becomes quite obvious that the official story we have been told by the mass media and particularly by Fox news about the nature of the collapses is a lie.

The analyses presented by AE 911 Truth raise a significant body of scientific evidence. It indicates that the causes of the WTC building collapses have not been adequately studied to reach supportable conclusions about them. If further scientific studies should determine that controlled demolition was a real factor, the ensuing issues of 'how' and 'who' are fearsome questions.

The collapse of the twin towers and WTC building 7 is suspiciously like demolition by timed detonation of explosives. Fire does not explain the symmetrical and simultaneous failure of columns causing a building collapse. Even if the 'pancake method of failure' is found to be a viable building failure mode, it does not account for the collapse of building 7 which did not get hit by an airplane, or for residue of explosives found at the site. Additional investigation is needed now while witnesses and primary investigators are still alive and this tragedy is fresh in our memories.

I still have doubts about the collapse of Bldg. 7 and the WTC. They do come down symmetrically while the plane and foremost the engines are some distance from the building centers. If the buildings were to come down symmetrically after a fire, the fire would have had to be in the middle of the buildings. causing all center columns to fail first before the exterior. This would allow the pulling of the exterior walls and having a symmetric implosion. This theory is then impossible because the airplane engines were separated. If this had happened, it would have happened in one building but not in both... this raises many questions in my head.

There is clear evidence that the story the public is being told does not align with the evidence of the destruction. This is made abundantly clear from the attempted LSDyna analysis on building 7; the building would not fall with the given circumstances as seen. Only when the inputs were manipulated, i.e.: fire protection removed, shear bolt removed, thermal inputs hotter, would the computer model show the building coming down. Even then, the computer simulated the building falling in a manner different than what was actually witnessed.

When I watched the collapse of the second building, live, with my 6th graders, I knew, from what I'd seen of controlled demolitions, what I was seeing. Therefore, I explained to my class that the terrorists had found a way into the building to set the charges and explained how controlled demolitions work. Then I waited for the truth to emerge, which, of course, it never did (in the mainstream cover-up)

I was at home that day and I saw quite everything I was expection the burning top of the building to tumble on the surounding building, because it is impossibleto heat up evenly a burning floor. For me it is impossible for a fire to have the building go staight down because it means that each floor going down HAD TO BE perfectly level and tumbled on one side, As for building 7, no way should that building go down. This is amother exemple of Pearl Harbour and the Kennedy assasimation . The arm industries were somehow behind this I think.

I am a freshman in college and would like to know the truth. I am sick of being left in the dark by our government.
The evidence is conclusive that this indeed was a conspiracy and I would like to see the individuals involved brought to justice. This country is no longer a democracy if we as a society allow such things to happen. With over 1,000,000 people dead due to this incident and most likely several wars coming in the future due to similar incidents, we need to stop this now. Our country already keeps enough away from us as it is, this and numerous other things need to be cleared up and I feel as though if I am not signing this I am letting myself and everything I believe in down.

Concerned citizen 9/11 Truth movement is the collective name of loosely affiliated organizations and individuals who question the accepted account of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Adherents of the movement assert that the explanation of the 9/11 events put forth by government and media contain significant inconsistencies which suggest, at the least, a cover-up, and at worst, complicity by insiders. Adherents advocate and discuss different theories about how the attacks happened and call for a new investigation into the attacks. Some of the organizations state that there is evidence that individuals within the United States government may have been either responsible for or knowingly complicit in the September 11 attacks. Motives given include the use of the attacks to initiate the launch of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and in creating the opportunities to curtail civil liberties.
It was obviously a controlled demolition Many adherents of the 9/11 Truth movement suspect that United States government insiders played a part in the attacks, or at the very least knew they were coming and let them occur anyway. Those within the movement who argue that insiders within the United States government were directly responsible for the September 11 attacks often allege that the attacks were planned and executed in order to provide the U.S. with a pretext for going to war in the Middle East and, by extension, as a means of consolidating and extending the power of the Bush Administration.[21][22] According to these allegations, this would have given the Bush administration the justification to clamp down on civil liberties and invade Afghanistan and Iraq to ensure future supplies of oil. In some cases, hawks in the White House, especially former Vice President Dick Cheney, and members of the Project for the New American Century, a neoconservative think tank, have been accused of involvement in or awareness of the alleged plot Many adherents of the 9/11 Truth movement allege that the buildings of the World Trade Center were destroyed by controlled demolition, a theory of major importance for the 9/11 Truth movement.

I fail to see how these buildings could have fallen at the rate and direction they did fall due to heat deformation of structural steel joints and joists. Photos of ground zero show the box columns cut at a diagonal inward direction, clearly something that cannot be the result of deformation, impact from 100 floors falling from above, or any other type of structural failure. It can only be part of the cause of collapse.

No structure can fall at the acceleration of gravity through an underlying structure, unless the supporting structure has been completely rendered ineffective, as dust. Jet-A, even as an aerosol, can not produce an explosion, merely a deflagration at best, and the burn temp of Jet-A does not approach by half the melting temp of steel. The official explanation defies all relevant laws of physics and structural integrity.

The story we were told is impossible to believe - buildings constructed as they were could not have fallen as stated - I was born in 1966 and watched the Towers being built with my father who is also a Contractor - If the tops of the towers would have sheared off and fell I might have not questioned the event - BUT - the impossible pancake effect needs to be questioned - buildings such as this could not have possibly fell at free fall speed - Then you have the #7 Building which was clearly professionally demolished.

My son rang me at work to tell me to get to a TV on 11th Sep. Within hours of this horror a group of us were discussing the nature of the collapse.We all agreed that if the top section of the towers had fallen for whatever reason, you would have expected the accumulated rubble and tangle of steel to form a pyramidical shape astride the remains of the tower below at some point where the compaction factor overcame the energy of the falling debris,some of which would have been pushed sideways by the forming pyramid and thus allowing the vertical fall moment to be converted to an angular one. We said at the time that it was 'all wrong' for that to have been caused by a fuel fire or mechanical damage.

An Illinois native, David graduated from UCSB in 1988 and has been living and working in Chicago for over 15 years. He and his wife Ellen, an award winning poet, children's book author, and teacher, have two grown children. David has been involved in design and construction since 1992 and founded his architectural firm in 1994. His completed projects in Illinois California, Colorado, and Utah include homes and remodels as well as offices, restaurants, classrooms, libraries, and auditoriums. Several of the projects have been featured on green building tours, and several have received design awards. A founding member of the Sustainability Project and the Green Building Alliance, David chaired the Green Building Now conference in 1996. He teaches green building classes for Adult Education and supports other local efforts to promote sustainability.
The prevailing theory for the collapse of the 110-story, award-winning Twin Towers is that when jetliners flew into the 95th and 80th floors of the North and South Towers respectively, they severed several of each building's columns and weakened other columns with the burning of jet fuel/kerosene (and office combustibles). However, unlike concrete buildings, structural steel buildings redistribute the stress when several columns are removed and the undamaged structural framework acts as a truss network to bridge over the missing columns. After the 1993 car bomb explosion destroyed columns in the North Tower, John Skilling, the head structural engineer for the Twin Towers, was asked about an airplane strike. He explained that the Twin Towers were originally designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 (similar in size to the Boeing 767). He went on to say that there would be a horrendous fire from the jet fuel, but 'the building structure would still be there.' The 10,000 gallons of jet fuel (half capacity) in each jetliner did cause horrendous fires over several floors, but it would not cause the steel members to melt or even lose sufficient strength to cause a collapse. This is because the short-duration jet fuel fires and office combustible fires cannot create (or transmit to the steel) temperatures hot enough. If a structural steel building could collapse because of fire, it would do so slowly as the various steel members gradually relinquished their structural strength. However, in the 100-year history of structural-steel framed buildings, there is no evidence of any structural steel framed building having collapsed because of fire. Let's assume the unlikelihood that these fires could weaken all of the columns to the same degree of heat intensity and thus remove their structural strength equally over the entire floor, or floors, in order to cause the top 30-floor building segment (South Tower WTC #2) to drop vertically and evenly onto the supporting 79th floor. The 30 floors from above would then combine with the 79th floor and fall onto the next level down (78th floor) crushing its columns evenly and so on down into the seven levels below the street level. The interesting fact is that each of these 110-story Twin Towers fell upon itself in about ten seconds at nearly free-fall speed. This violates Newton's Law of Conservation of Momentum that would require that as the stationary inertia of each floor is overcome by being hit, the mass (weight) increases and the free-fall speed decreases. Even if Newton's Law is ignored, the prevailing theory would have us believe that each of the Twin Towers inexplicably collapsed upon itself crushing all 287 massive columns on each floor while maintaining a free-fall speed as if the 100,000, or more, tons of supporting structural-steel framework underneath didn't exist.

They are obviously demolished by explosives. Free fall straight down collapse just by fire violates the law of physics as all the floors below impact are undamaged. Also buildings don't just collapse into dust.

Ever since watching the buildings collapse on 9/11/01 I could not believe buildings could collapse so perfectly from such limited damage. Something seemed wrong based on my understanding of Physics. When the WTC 7 building went down in the same fashion from no apparent structural damage and only from fires, I knew something wasn't right and started to investigate the videos and reports from not only the WTC but also the Pentagon. Disturbing question started arising from what I found out. Those questions are only now being answered by very capable professionals and, most importantly, by analyzing the evidence in a scientific manner.

I have had 36 years experience in,the Power Generation Industry,in Construction,Maintenance and Operation Areas of this Industry.
Stunned would be the feeling I had for what I had seen on the late night TV. I had read about the 2 towers construction in Engineering magazines at the time of their construction of the Engineering requirements to withstand the most extreme situations,even Aircraft collision. When the Pancake theory was first espoused, I realised that given at least 1 second per floor,15 seconds does not equate to 110 floors.

39 years old, honest business man, patriot to the Republic and family man. I've been in the construction industry all of my professional life. I have a very deep concern about the direction of our elected officials.
This whole event stinks to high heaven of corruption, greed, and total disregard for the well being of the common man. This event demonstrates the deception and tyranny of our Federal Government. God save the people of this great nation from the absolute Despotism forced upon us. The people involved in this devilish act MUST be held accountable for their actions.

After working as an architect for 20 years in Germany I decided to take a job for civil engineering in the Russian Federation.
When I saw the live pictures in German TV my first thoughts were that this can only be an inside job, as the matter of course a very good one. Now I know that I was right and I hope the Americans will fight for finding out the truth. Killing people should not be business any more.

I am increasingly interested in this investigation into 9/11. I have watched many documentaries and truly believe that this was completely a cover up. I would like to petition what we were told and learn any more facts about what really happened.
I am mostly concerned with the falling of Building 7 and how this was possible and why we didn't get any answers till 7 years later in 2008.

No doubt they were imploded. Follow the money. Who purchased the building 6 months prior and who had free access to the buildings with an opportunity to plant internal explosives. Why were the buildings blacked out (no power) on several occasions prior to the incident

I'm just your average happily married guy, Father of two, I work in the film business, I work on my old house, I love what I do, and I do it well. I started looking into the 9/11 Truth Movement about 7 years ago after listening, to what I felt were complete lies by our administration when it came to the run up for war. Our media took everything at face value, there wasn't enough investigative journalism, whenever a mantra is used, truth gets lost. I knew something was wrong, so I started opening my eyes & mind.
A close friend asked if I would be willing to look into Controlled Demolition as a possible reason for how the World Trade Centers fell?? I basically told him to F-off, I watched it all unfold on that day, I felt surprised like everyone else, but after doing my own research I realized that much of what we saw wasn't just that one day. No longer did I have to accept that what I witnessed needed to be supported by immediate answers, and that by seeking more information, I began to understand just how lost the truth really is. Anything in Politics that is relevant should never be reverent, that's my new policy.
