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 spent the afternoon of 9/10/2001 at the Reagan Presidential Library in Pasadena, CA and flew on a red eye flight back home. We landed at the Hartford, CT airport at 9:00 AM that fatal morning and I listened to the entire ordeal unfold on the radio on the drive home. It was clear to me that the world had changed forever. In 2010, I learned about the third tower and watched it free fall in horror. Truth must prevail over evil.

I support a new independent investigation. The way the WTC twin towers fell vertically looks like a demolition with explosives rather than an asymmetrical collapse as would happen with a plane crash. It defies physics for the buildings to have fallen this way and at the duration of free fall. WTC 7 needs further investigation as well because one column failure does not make sense with collapse of the entire building or the way it fell. Again it appeared as if all supports had been demolished at regular intervals at free fall speed which looks like a controlled demolition.

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

No doubt it was controlled demolition because of the explosions before hand at lower levels and thermite burning diagonally on steel beams. speed of descent and the fact that buildings were worked on for period of time before 911 while bomb sniffing dogs were removed from buildings during that time. The crenelated structure was chopped as shown by photos as sections of wall fell.

Times and several other papers around the country, warning against a knee-jerk flight into fascism to keep us safe.
Nothing about the official story makes sense when you think about it. But the three key elements that should convince anyone with an open mind are: (1) Building 7 collapses straight into its own footprint, falling as a single mass as though in quicksand -- i.e., with the failure at the bottom all the way down. Can't happen with a few pitiful fires restricted to a few upper floors, mostly on one side of the building. (2) Molten iron (not steel) running in rivulets under the debris of all three towers; residual heat higher than the temperature of standard building fires or jet fuel persisting for more than a week. If the official story were true, only a miracle could have caused that. (3) Multiple samples of dust from the collapses, taken at varied locations, all contained two damning things. First, microspheres of iron (again, not steel), which can only arise when molten iron solidifies in mid-air. That means that least some of he steel superstructure had to be converted into iron, for that's the only possible source. Second, the dust contained unexploded particles of military-grade nanothermite -- stuff you can paint onto a surface (like steel beams) and then ignite at will. There is no conceivable reason for that to be in any of the three buildings -- yet there it was. There are countless other very obvious indicators that the official story is bogus, starting with televised predictions that WTC7 either had fallen (BBC video with WTC7 prominently in the background) or was about to fall (Giuliani was only one of many who took action based on knowledge of WTC7's collapse. When has the timing of ANY burning building's collapse been so predictable? Why was the official investigation held up for so long by the Bush Administration, and then funded with a pittance compared to the Challenger Dister investigation in which fewer than 10 people died? If a teensy bit of fire brought down all three buildings, shouldn't there be huge funding to find out if all the high-rise buildings in the world are suddenly at risk of collapsing as they burn, even though the first three steel-framed high-rise structures in history to collapse from fire happened on the same day and same place?

I'm a lifelong resident of HI, but have a brother who viewed the whole incident from several blocks away. The fact that the truths of this world may be completely different than the reality I perceive bothers me and I am always seeking a little more enlightenment. Life is good in paradise, but the truth, however difficult to swallow, will always lead to better educated decisions and hopefully a better world for future generations.
The slide show clearly details questions that need to be answered. This event has become a critical component of our world view and our country's perception of its role in the world and the future of billions of human beings. It is too important an issue to leave this many unanswered questions. We need a non partisan and, hopefully, non governmental examination coordinated by boards and licensing bodies with the technical expertise to analyze the events thoroughly.

I cannot understand how a layman would believe the narrative of fire bringing down an entire steel structure in the manner that the 3 towers fell on 9/11. Anyone who has ever witness a fire of any scale would realize that it burns asymmetric and causes unpredictable and imbalanced collapses. The absolute vertical collapse of even one tower due to an asymmetric fire is a near improbability. Three towers on the same day, one with minimal fire damage is a mathematical impossibility...unless it were intentional.

In terms of the scientific and engineering evidence presented by AE911Truth, it appears that nanothermate was used for the controlled demolition of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7). National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s official story of the WTC7 collapse is contrary to the scientific and engineering evidence. Architects, engineers and authorities having jurisdiction improve building codes when new failure modes are discovered, such as NIST's 'fire induced progressive collapse' failure method they used to explain WTC7's collapse. I have yet to hear about a building code that has changed to prevent this failure mode which seems to indicate that it is not accepted as real. Furthermore, NIST's denial of AE911Truth's request for correction calling on the agency to throw out the conclusions of its 2008 report on the collapse of WTC7 is essentially an acknowledgement that the report never had anything to do with engineering. NIST's report appears to be a cover-up of the controlled demolition of WTC7, and therefore a cover-up of the truth of what occurred with WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 on 9/11. I support AE911Truth because I support truth in science and resent NIST's unscientific and almost certainly illegal actions.

I thoroughly know that, from witness accounts, mechanical physics and material properties, at the very least, WTC7 was professionally demolished. This would take weeks, if not months, to set up correctly and safely. With that in mind, a demolition date was set, prior to 9/11. I do not pertain to understand the motive behind this, nor who did it, but the narrative is completely false as portrayed in the media and the NIST investigation. WTC7 is the smoking gun. WTC7 was not brought down by 'office fires'.

After reviewing your presentation, along with others, it is obvious that the narrative we were given by the Bush government could not have been plausible. I'm embarrassed to admit that I was fooled with the majority of Americans until the absurdity of the governments narrative was debunked through your presentation. I still shock people when I suggest that 9/11 was a well designed set up. Thank you for your efforts!

No way a jet brought down a building! The fuel would atomize as the wings disintegrated into the steel beams, and this would instantly flash off from the sparks and the arcing of the electrical service cabling throughout the structure. Keeping in mind that the flooring was encased in asbestos and the building had the strictest standards of fireproof materials and furnishings in the books. No way!

The dismissal of certain facts are what drew me to the issue initially. First, the issue of office furnishings being unable to create a heat source sufficient of melting the steel structure. Second, the issue that when the buildings collapsed there was zero resistance making them fall at the rate of gravity.

As soon as I saw the video of the towers and bldg. 7, I knew something wasn't right. The supposed stock airplanes (aluminum cans with wings) should have crumpled on impact hitting a structure of steel and concrete. Then the obvious collapse of the buildings due to demolition type explosions just didn't fit the governments narrative.

I think it is absolutely insane that the main stream tells you that the WTC building 7 fell due to fire. Its ludicrous. I don't have a degree in physics, engineering, or experience in demolition, but buildings don't just fall the way the WTC buildings did. It takes common sense, once you look at the facts, to see that its a absolute BS.

1st love: cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats; I want to make 'em go faster, handle better & have had success in that field from drag-racing to land-speed-record racing. But I got involved in the commercial building industry in the early 1990's & have worked on projects including the 60-story Bank of America headquarters in downtown Charlotte, NC, and hurricane-proof buildings in Florida. I would not qualify myself as a structural engineer, but I've been a mechanical engineer for over 40 years & have worked on projects which required an understanding of how buildings are built, why this works & that doesn't. I also understand how buildings are prepared for demolition.
Although there is a great deal of evidence regarding what caused the collapse of the 'Twin Towers' & the cause of the collapse of WTC 7 is quite clear (controlled implosion), I cannot say I know exactly why the Twin Towers collapsed. However, I can say, with 100% certainty, that the official Gov't. report can't possibly be true. The laws of physics do not change & the Gov't. report defies the laws of physics.

It is obvious that the twin towers were each demolished by controlled demolition. It is obvious that WTC Building Number 7--never hit by any airplane-- was demolished by controlled demolition. Molten metal, found at or below ground level at the twin tower rubble and lasting in the molten state for weeks, could not have been caused by jet fuel. Commercial Airliners flying at approximately 700 to 800 feet per second, at less than 2000 feet above sea level would most likely fall apart due to air density and drag. Since the horizontal margin of error allowing for total airplane penetration into each Twin was only 25 feet, it is impossible for the inexperienced southern asian people at the airplane controls to negotiate the collisions at the stated air speeds. Experienced pilots have said they could not do it. Finally, why was there no significant debris field at the Pentagon? At Shanksville, Pa. why was there only a relatively small hole in the ground instead of a debris field?

I know for a fact that WTC7 was indeed a classic controlled demolition. How does a 47 story building fall into it's greatest path of resistance at free fall velocity into it's own foot print? As far as WTC1 and WTC 2 are concerned, I believe that there were a combination of high tech. destructive devices used not excluding micro nuclear devices.

He has served on the scientific committees of five of these and has made keynote presentations at most of the events. The current cycle of conferences has included two national events in 2018, 13 planned for 2019 and a global conference planned for Sweden in 2020.He is currently leading the development of an international survey of researchers and professionals for the SBE partnership that will identify GHG mitigation measures that are considered most effective in a large variety of global regions. Mr. Larsson is a frequently invited keynote speaker at conferences related to sustainable building, and also participates in many workshops with graduate students at such events. He is a Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
I have reviewed the material you and some others have presented and I have reluctantly concluded that the collapse of the WTC7 tower was, as you and your group have stated, probably due to controlled internal explosions; and that this may also apply to towers 1 and 2. I have no idea why or how all this took place, but it does seem that it would have been difficult for terrorists to achieve this on their own.

I have 28 years of experience in Civil Engineering projects, including complete road reconstruction, infrastructure renewal, and experience in civil structural renewal (e.g. bridge replacement).
Based upon the engineering evidence supplied to date, it is apparent that the NIST explanation of the WTC Building 7 collapse is flawed and a new investigation is warranted.
