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.

Without a new investigation, unencumbered by the Bush administration, we won't be able to put this to rest and move on. The investigation can either prove or refute the standing explanation, but until it is done with a new set of hands and in an environment we feel we can trust, we won't be able to move forward.

Occupation: Petroleum Engineer
I earned a bachelor's in petroleum engineering, graduating cum laude, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in 2012. Subsequently, I went to work for BP (British Petroleum) as a petroleum engineer in 2013, working there as a drillsite engineer for 6 years, from 2013 until 2019. Prior to this, for 5 years I was an excavator shear operator at C&R Pipe & Steel in Fairbanks, Alaska, that processes all oil field scrap from the Alaska North Slope oil fields. In this job I operated a 70-ton 345 Caterpillar excavator with a Genesis shear head attached. On a daily basis I cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base.
Based on my job experience and engineering background and education, I know for certainty that structural steel, especially the thicknesses and amount of which was in WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 cannot fail either by weakened steel above it or from office fires. For 5 years, from 2004 to 2009, I operated a 70-ton Caterpillar excavator that had a 24,000 lb Genesis shear head on the front of it. I used this on a daily basis to demolish pre-fabricated steel structures, cut drill pipe, casing pipe, railroad iron, I-beams, and even aircraft (from the nearby Eielson Air Force Base). The aircraft in particular were paper thin and fell apart like paper when manipulated with the shear head. Steel, on the other hand, is a different story. From this work experience I know intuitively that steel cannot fail in the way NIST says was the case, and I also know from my engineering schooling that a steel structure failing in a collapse would not accelerate as quickly or quicker than the acceleration of gravity. Also, if the potential energy of the building was the only energy supplying the collapse, there would be no energy surplus available to eject multiple ton steel beam segments laterally, away from the collapse. NIST's official story is a sham, and that anyone is expected to believe it is laughable.

One of my hobbies is explosives and demolition. When I watched the Towers come down and then Building 7, I knew that this was a controlled demolition, not the airplanes and the fire. I have read many accounts of the attack and theories of the causes and the official story is full of holes. The Pentagon attack also looks fishy since the side of the building hit was relatively empty and the hole in the wall doesn't look right for an airplane strike.

I was born in Kamas Valley Utah, grew up on a farm near Lava Hot Springs Idaho in a large family. Then served two years as a missionary in Finland, got my higher education at Ricks College, and then went on to get the degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology at Arizona State University in 1980. I took a job with the Boeing Company primarily as weight & balance engineer on the hydrofoil program with some time on airplanes and electronics (7 years total) before I became disabled by chemical sensitivities from an indeterminate combination of cigarette smoke, carpet out-gassing, solvents, synthetic perfumes, etc. at work, on the road, and in our mobile home. Thus, I moved back to the mountains where I am isolated from most normal social interaction, so the internet is a huge boon for me, since I have a positive ventilation system set up to exhaust my computer equipment to protect myself.
I had studied the previous incidents of Oklahoma Murrah building, the Waco massacre, Tonkin Gulf, Pearl Harbor, etc. so was prepared enough to recognize immediately when I saw on Fox satellite news that the towers went down on the morning of 9-11, that they were taken down by pre-planted explosives'the little bit of video they show made it blazingly obvious. And just as divulged by the news, it was a New Pearl Harbor event' but I knew few Americans comprehended the full meaning of that admission. We also heard later that day of the other building that collapsed. I am fortunate in having a wife who is likewise aware. I told all I knew my view, but most thought it impossible' or rather did not want to face what was obvious from the evidence. I heard fairly early of the molten metal in the basements and couldn't help suspect nuclear involvement, so was very interested when Steven E. Jones found thermite and then super-thermite. I cringed at his involvement as co-chair of the 911 website with Fetzer.

Having watched and read all of the testimony and evidence posted by Richard Gage over the past decade, I urge the Congress to create an independent commission to fully investigate the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings, and not to arbitrarily rule out any possible scenario or conspiracy that could have led to the patently false official NIST report. Testimony by the first-responders who observed and heard what they have reported were explosions, melting steel, and chemical traces which are not consistent with the theory that airplanes caused the fires and collapse of WTC I and II; and the full unedited free-fall photographic evidence of the collapse of WTC 7 should be included in their study. If Congress does not agree to this, then a public subscription for an independent analysis by distinguished experts from universities abroad should be undertaken.

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.

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.

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.

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.
