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.

Occupation: Naval Architect
I served as a junior student apprenticeship with HW Belfast (where the Titanic was built!) At lunch time I sometimes climbed up the old rusting gantries to get a good view of Belfast harbor and to take photographs of the CANBERRA at its fitting-out location. I studied Naval Architecture at the Belfast Technical college and at Poplar Technical College London, England. I worked for one year as a petrochemical piping draughtsman for Procon Great Britain Ltd, an American Company. I joined a small shipyard, on the river Thames, as Assistant to the Yard Manage for W.R. Cunis Limited, producing design drawings and inspection of subbed out work, welding inspection, tolerance inspection, vessel damage inspection, cost estimating, rudder calculations etc. I emigrated to Canada via the EMPRESS OF CANADA JULY 1967 to commence work in BC with Robert Allen LTD. Naval Architect. I worked for the Federal Government for approximately thirteen (13) years as a Marine inspector (TI7) for Transport Canada I have witnessed several vessel fires. One of the fires was on a steel hulled old - retiring- BC Ferry, which, in association with a Lloyds' Surveyor, we verified it safe to travel to Mexico from Vancouver BC. I inspected the damage for Transport Canada. The fire commenced from a welders spark. The spark ignited a large pile of donated clothing that was situated under a hydraulic hose line from a header tank. The header-tank then dumped the oil on the burning clothing. The paint was burned off the bulkhead and part of the deck buckled some-what. Outboard of the damaged area the deck was undamaged and restricted the expansion of the steel. The heated steel had no choice but to buckle, as it was being held captive by the intact cold steel. The fire did not burn holes in the deck or bulkhead!
I live in Canada and feel that if the local Loggers were asked to climb up all trees and cut off each tree at 10 feet intervals commencing at the top, to satisfy a request for 10 ft length of logs, that they would tell the supervisor to go and take a hike! Similarly no TERRORIST would waste, (1.) Time. (2.) Waste Cutting Charges; to bring a tower such as WTC towers #1, #2, #3 vertically down, almost, into its own foot print. To cause maximum damage a terrorist would copy the usual method of logging, i.e. take out the equivalent to a wedge shape out of the bottom of the towers, core steel members, causing them to fall almost intact sideways in the direction that would cause them to strike other buildings and block roads. The presence of Thermite and Nano-thermite has been found in the WTC (World Trade Center) dust. Therefore, explosive and thermal cutting charges were used to bring down the WTC. From high school physics, one may remember the simple demonstration of a transparent glass tube, about six (6) feet long, sealed at each end by a small circular piece of glass. The tube, being about two and a half inches in diameter, and containing three objects, a small coin, a feather, and a small lead ball. The question put to the students being, If I hold this tube vertically so that the feather, lead ball and coin are resting on the bottom and suddenly invert the tube by rotating the tube in such a manner that the three objects remain at the end, by centrifugal force, and stop with the objects in the tube in a vertical upright position, which object will fall and hit the bottom first? Most students will say that the lead ball would hit the bottom first (reason lead is heavy, very dense, has a lot of mass for its size). What actually takes place is that all three objects, feather, coin, and lead ball, strike the bottom end of the tube at the same time. The students are amazed! The teacher then explains that he had omitted to tell them that the air had been removed from the tube Because of lack of air inside the tube (a vacuum having been applied to the inside of the tube) all objects fall at the same speed due to Earths gravity. The demonstration would usually be followed by a story of Sir Isaac Newton and the apple plus more details on gravity. From the available videos of all three WTC towers they fell at near free fall speed i.e. To explain free fall, if you jumped off say tower #7, without a parachute, at the same time as the cutting charges were set off, you would hit the ground at the same time as the top of the tower! 6.5 seconds being the approximate near free fall time. In Dr. Steven Jones paper, there is a photograph of the top of, from memory, WTC tower #2, rotating sideways. Have you ever seen a tree being cut down, falling with rotation sideways? Does the tree suddenly break up into say two foot sections as it rotates? Why then would the top of WCT tower#2 not continue to rotate in one piece until clear of the lower section? You may look at the videos on the internet or youtube and see what took place. Note: ''With the top section of the building removed, loosely hinged, a partial downward force would be applied to one edge of the lower portion of WTC #2. The only fire in the building was caused by an aircraft and by this time all of the fuel had burned up. There was no fire in the lower portion of the building so, with the top of the building removed, the core steel structure would have experienced a reduced load and would not have collapsed without the use of demolition cutting charges. I have attempted to keep my analysis super simple so that your young children can understand what has been written.

I am currently a recent college graduate and architectural intern in pursuit of a professional degree and state license.
When I saw the events of 9/11, I was a senior in high school. At the time I did not know much about building construction in general, but I could not overcome the feeling that something was wrong about the collapses. I remember thinking how fortunate they were that the buildings did not fall over, killing more people in the process. However, after revisiting the events of 9/11 six years later, I have realized that there is much more that must be investigated and this investigation is of absolute importance, given the stakes of the outcome.

Former occupation was in aircraft accident investigation at a major airline located in the Pacific Northwest. Interviewed crew members, specifically pilots, involved in such incidences along with obtaining NTSB reports. Reported to MD-80, 727, and 737 flight instructors along with chief pilot. One son is preparing to become an architect at a state university starting the Fall of 2009.
My first notice of an anomaly in the official 9/11 story began when I drove past the Pentagon approximately one month after the alleged 'attack'. What I saw perplexed me as from my background, I determined that a 757 could not have possibly fit into a 16-foot hole and leave little to no debris field at that. Afterwards, I contacted a friend who works for a governmental agency (commercial building engineer) and asked him how it is possible that aviation fuel could burn hot enough to 'melt' the steel trusses and supposedly causing a 'pancake' collapse. Then I asked him how WTC 7 fell. He only answered that fires were hot enough in WTC 7 to cause its collapse. The last time I spoke to him was in 2001 and he will not return my phone calls. He defended the WTC 1 & 2 official 'pancake' explanation. I've since listened and printed out many theories as to why these buildings fell. Steven Jones suggestion about thermite or thermate is intriguing. Others have suggested a mini-nuke device was implanted at the base of the buildings. It is obvious WTC 7 was a controlled demolition. But I wanted to hear from the experts, such as those on this site. My biggest objective now is to find out why the evidence was removed before experts could examine it - especially the steel. Why did fires keep burning under the rubble for over a month? But most important is why the investigations are being obviously covered-up. This is why I appreciate your site and will gladly sign the petition.

It was evident to me the very first time I saw the videos of 9/11 on youtube, about 6-7 years ago (I was still a student), that the towers collapsed by demolition. I was just hoping and waiting for an American Architect or Engeneer to stand for it, because a non-US citizen doesn't stand a chance defending such theory ... So I am very glad that intelligent American people are comming forward and defending truth! I know, beyond reasonable doubt, the towers did not colapse as consecuence of fire, it is an intentional demolition that has sacrificed many lifes in America and the Middle East, based on a big fat lie! But no crime is perfect, specialy when you underestimate the inteligence of thousands of educated witneses! Nobody can stop the truth from coming out, there are too many inteligent people in the world that can't put a bling eye to this!

All the information that I have gathered on the subject raises serious credibility issues with the official version. I believe that it is in the interest of the United States, and democracy everywhere, to investigate the matter in a thorough manner. In addition, it is also in the interest of Science and Engineering to get the true facts as these, as well as the precipitous elimination of forensic evidence, just does not allow a proper understanding of the processes involved. If the inquiry were to substantiate the current official assertions, this would help in getting a better understanding of the physics of tall structures.

The small explosions visible on videos just before the towers fell are indications of explosives. Also, the temperature of burning jet fuel is not high enough to cause such a major failure in the steel construction.

Living outside the US; no patriotism or xenophobic intoxication had any pull on me. I knew right away when I saw the towers fall on 9/11 that it was impossible as naturally occurring. The parallel with fascism was obvious for me; I started calling the Busch administration: The fourth Reich.

No similar steel frame high-rise building in the world has ever collapsed due to fire; steel will only melt at temperatures much higher than those that can be induced in a building fire, even with the addition of jet fuel; the collapse of all three buildings - especially Tower Seven - is virtually identical to an implosion-induced collapse as seen in demolitions; Tower Seven came down at a rate of at or near free-fall, which is - according to all known physical laws - absolutely impossible without the help of demolition type explosives.

There has been enough evidence presented to warrant a thorough investigation. The free fall of WTC 7 on its footprint looks unmistakably like a controlled demolition as does WTC 1 and WTC 2. The size of the hole in the Pentagon, missing engines as well as no typical debris such a fuselage etc in both the Pentagon and Penn crash sites warrants a thorough investigation.

I have worked in three areas of physics, high-energy elementary particle physics, plasma physics (magnetic fusion energy), and health physics. For most of my life, physics was my occupation and my religion. I didn't pay much attention to politics. The 2003 Iraq invasion changed that. How could such a thing happen? I started to pay attention. Now I see that this country has been transformed into a military empire, the moral equivalent of the drug cartels in Mexico or the Mafia. This is very upsetting to me.
A friend asked me what I thought about 9/11, and I repeated the official story. After he informed me about the internal steel columns in WT7, I started researching the facts on my own. I was severely shaken by the enormity of what I came to realize--the official story could not be true.

You cannot have a building simultaneously show no resistance (free fall speed of collapse) and show massive resistance (pulverizing concrete as WTC falls into itself). A 9th grade physics student could figure that out.

The official explanation of the 3 building collapses fail to address many valid questions that have been asked by many people since Sept. 11, 2001. The NIST and FEMA reports do not explain the collapse of WTC 7. There has been very little mention of the Feb. 1975 fire across 14 stories of the North Tower or of the low thermal conductivity of steel. Much more independent, scientific examination is needed- I'd like to see an instrumented engineering scale model of a WTC Tower complete with model plane impacts that supports the fire collapse theory.

It does not take an expert in physics, engineering or architecture to see that the official collapse theory - promulgated by the mainstream press to the exclusion of any debate - fails to explain the evidence. For example, the official theory fails to uphold basic laws of physics such as conservation of momentum. However, it is heartening and affirming to see that the experts in these fields are stepping up and taking the courageous steps necessary to bring basic evidence and common sense before the public: Concrete cannot explode into fine dust due to fire (How does the top section of WTC 1 begin to disintegrate into dust prior to falling into the stories where the airplane struck?); buildings cannot collapse straight into themselves at near free-fall speed without the use of explosives; all three WTC's exhibited the precise features of controlled demolition; the official theory fails to explain (and even ignores) the amassed evidence of molten metal both during and after the destruction. I highly recommend that anyone new to this area of inquiry begin by simply viewing the video coverage of the WTC7 collapse with their own eyes. Then give the experts at ae911truth a fair hearing.

I find the government response (destroying the steel, classifying basic information, seizing video tapes, etc.) to be a blatant cover-up, regardless of what happened.

Geophysics (1980 - UAF), currently Section Chief, Earthquake Engineering Section, California Department of Water Resources (2005-present); formerly with the California Geological Survey (1998-2005) as an Associate Seismologist. Worked as a project seismologist with Woodward-Clyde Consultants (1980-1998) in various offices including Las Vegas, NV (1991-1998).
When I first saw the buildings collapsing, it did not appear to be related to the planes crashing into the buildings. This was confirmed to me when Building 7 collapsed in a well-controlled fashion. I had seen several casino buildings imploded in Las Vegas, NV when I lived there (1991-98) and Building 7's collapse looked exactly like those.
