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.

The 'official' report on how World Trade Center 7 was demolished defies fundamental engineering principles. This is cause for great concern in the engineering community. An investigation needs to take place to determine what actually happened, or, in the unlikely case that the official report is true, we need to determine what is wrong with our engineering principles. Either way, an investigation needs to happen.

Graduated in Civil Engineering in 1984 on a 4 year degree that consisted of 6 Months at University and 6 Months work industrial work. I was sponsored by Balfour Beatty ( a large UK construction company ) and worked for them for a total of 7 years mainly on Power Transmission Lines, TV masts and Bridges.I also worked as a structural engineer for Eastwood and Partners who are consulting engineers in Sheffield, England on projects including the design of the structural frame (part steel, part reinforced concrete) for a large factory (the size of 2 football pitches)
All major structures have their strongest points at the center of the building. Even the most basic of structural engineers knows that collapse occurs through the line of least resistance and NOT under any circumstances through the line of GREATEST resistance.Since all 3 buildings collapsed in upon themselves to the center, then the center had clearly become the weakest point in all 3 buildings. The ONLY way that the strongest point is going to change into to the weakest point is if there is a controlled demolition to make it so.

I graduated in 1998 as a civil engineer, specializing in structures, roads and railroads in the ISPAJE, Havana City, Cuba. I first worked in Cayo Largo del Sur, a tourist island in southwestern Cuba, in the construction of two hotels: Sol Club Cayo Largo and Barcelo Cayo Largo. In 2006 I started working in Jamaica on the construction of 3 hotels: Iberostar, Palladium and Secret. I am currently building and remodeling apartments and houses in the area of Montego Bay.
When I saw the collapse of the buildings on television in Cuba, I remembered what my professor of Resistance of Materials said: the laws of physics can never be violated. When I watched the program on the Discovery Channel about the collapse of the towers I thought one of two possibilities existed: either it was a fault in the design of the building or it was a controlled demolition. The last explains everything without violating the laws of physics.

Major holes in the official story: - - - - 1) Building collapse geometry and timing (Straight down near free fall speed. - - 2) WTC 7 collapse impossible within any conceivable natural disaster scenario. - - 3) Nano-Thermite - - 4) Imbeciles supposedly have the ability to flawlessly fly jet aircraft directly to their targets. - - - - My opinion is that the 9/11 investigators don't even believe their own report - otherwise why has their been NO call for a revision to the structural building codes? Supposedly there had been a major structural steel frame building collapse at near free fall speed due to very minor structural damage and fire only (WTC 7). If that was actually the case then at the very least the structural building codes should be reviewed and revised as needed. And then with that new code in hand every steel-frame high-rise building in the country should be evaluated with probably most of them requiring retrofitting and redesign. Do you see any of this activity? Wouldn't that be the responsible action to take if WTC 7 and the other buildings had actually failed as the official government story? - - - - The buildings were brought down - that's not a conspiracy theory, that's a fact.

I have been aware for years of the questions about the official and dubious claims regarding the destruction of the WTC and surrounding structures raised by credible subject matter experts in demolition, structural analysis, metallurgy, etc. And, I have viewed video footage supportive of claims of foul play. This event must be investigated in an official capacity by experts who can support critical analysis and draw conclusions based on facts, not wild conjecture.

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.

Always sought knowledge since childhood, basically physics, up to mass psychology (read a lot on Nazis, propaganda etc...)
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. Happy to see Americans waking up, but I m afraid this will end as the Kennedy murder, everybody knows, nobody can act. Time is running out!

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.

I have listened to a number of presentations of the events of 9/11 and am certain that the truth has yet to be told. The American people need to be told the complete facts and the truth behind the events of that day. It is obvious to me that much information has been withheld or not even considered in the official report.

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.

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.
