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 remember on the day when the news of the 911 attacks was coming through. I was at work and we all gathered in the office of a colleague, who had a radio, and I remember hearing the frantic voice of the radio announcer saying that one of the towers had collapsed. At the time we had no access to TV footage of the hit on the buildings. After the collapse, I remember turning to a shocked colleague next to me and saying something like: the plane must have hit lower down, towards the bottom of the tower? It was the only way I could comprehend or explain to myself a collapse of such magnitude and speed! Today, it is still that rapid, symmetrical collapse that I find hard to understand.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

When I first watched the first tower fall live on TV, before knowing what would occur in the ensuing seconds, I remember saying after the top started to collapse that Well ... it looks like we will have an 80 story tower! I could not fathom the total collapse of they building. As the top of the building began to fall and be unsupported, the 'supporting forces' (or resisting forces)of the lower floors would have made the upper floors continue their tipping until it fell over and off the remaining floors of the building. The total collapse was unfathomable. With the top floors shed, I would have expected the wrecked interface area to extent only a few floors below where the break was. Ultimately I accepted the given wisdom of those who said it was fire and flawed construction that led to the building's failures. However, over the ensuing years after viewing discussions of the collapse by skeptics of the 'official' story, I began being more aware of the arguments. The information presented in the Stephen Jones DVD and the first Richard Gage DVD provide the opportunity to see the reality of the physics of the collapse. Upon further reflection of the laws of physics and engineering principles, I truly believe that even if fire and the trauma to the structure from the collisions were sufficient to instigate the collapse, that it could not propagate very far. The collapse of WTC-7 is wholy unlike any collapse scenario that I can envision ... without it being intentionally destroyed. The building did not wobble, lean, crumble, sag or show signs of failure until it collapsed. Unimaginable! I believe that a new independent investigation is needed.

The role of scientists, engineers and architects is less to impose opinions than to reassure other truth-seekers that they are on the right track and provide them with simple arguments to rebuke the keepers of the faith; Richard's simple free-fall speed model fits right in this picture.

Project Manager for Federal Demonstration Project and two APWA/Southern California award-winning projects in West Hollywood, California. Also served as Project Manager for a fire sprinkler subcontractor on building projects in Houston, Texas (including high-rise buildings in Houston and San Antonio).
The fact that both towers collapsed in their footprints, without any toppling of the upper floors, clearly indicates controlled demolition as the cause of the buildings' collapse, rather than structural failure. In my opinion, the collapse of the south tower (WTC 2) illustrates this idea most clearly. The airplane which hit this tower entered the south wall, and wreckage can be seen in the videos exiting the east wall. As a result, one would expect the damage to be worse near the southeast corner of the building, and any structural collapse should have occurred first at this corner. This should have resulted in the upper floors toppling toward the southeast. However, videos of the building's collapse clearly show it failing in a more or less symmetrical manner. - - - - In contrast, the north tower (WTC 1) was hit by the first airplane in the north wall, at almost a perpendicular angle to the north wall. And yet, the upper floors of this building leaned toward the south as the building collapsed. - - - - Likewise, there are two failure phenomena which cannot be explained by the pancake collapse theory. First, video of the collapse of the north tower shows the upper floors (approx. 10 stories) toppling toward the south. Yet, instead of falling to the ground relatively intact (as they should have done with no structure supporting them from beneath at that point, and nothing pressing down on them from above), they mysteriously disintegrated in mid-air. What forces (other than explosives) could have caused this? - - - - Second, a video exists which shows part of the inner core of the north tower still standing prior to the south tower's collapse. And yet, with only minor debris falling on it from the south tower, the remaining core structure disintegrates. Unless the video is faked (and I have seen no evidence of this), what would have caused the remaining core structure to collapse?

A severed and falling building segment will decelerate as its kinetic energy is reduced by the deformation of the columns and stories below. The opposite was observed on 9/11. The segments accelerated through the towers towards the ground at nearly free-fall. This is direct evidence that supports a theory of controlled demolition, while proving the falsity of the official explanation without doubt.

If one chooses to significantly study all of the evidence and to think critically on the same, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the official story of 9/11 put forth, in its entirety simply cannot be true from any perspective. It is an impossibility. Additionally, there is overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness statements, photographic and videographic records, timelines, scientific and engineering data, irrefutable laws of physics, and the like which directly and unequivocally refute the official story of 9/11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 ' 1860) There will come a day when our children & grandchildren will look us in the eyes and ask us what we did and what action we took when we learned of the truth of 9/11 . . .

He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.' - Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 ' 1968)

I'm studying for my second bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and my master's in experimental physics and so I think I have enough technical background to form a scientifically sound opinion on the events of 9/11.
It is physically impossible for the Twin Towers and WTC 7 to have collapsed at near free-fall acceleration without the aid of a source of extra energy, such as that from explosives. In addition, the damage to the Pentagon was too small to have been made by a Boeing 757.

Not only WTC7's, but also WTC1 and WTC2's collapses need to be honestly investigated. 1. Fires at similar skyscrapers in other countries did not lead to the collapses of the 9/11 styles at free fall speed. 2. Even if we concede that WTC1-2 fire did cause the steel support structure to weaken at 80-90 floors, the weight of the upper part of the building could not cause the collapse as the 0-80-floor part had always stood enduring the weight of the upper part. The hypothetic weakening could only occur gradually, and the upper part would have fallen off the building without causing the whole building to collapse.

My background is in physics. I have a thorough understanding of the physical laws governing motion and what is and is not possible.
There are only two possible explanations for how the towers fell on 9/11. 1) Explosives were used to remove the support structure. 2) The laws of physics ceased to apply within the buildings on that day. Since number 2 is impossible, that leaves 1 as the only explanation.

With my current education focusing in rudimentary understanding of structural integrity, the WTC buildings indeed succumbed to collapse as a result of some kind of inter-structural damage other than the airliner jets.

In my amateur, but rather educated opinion, there's no way the Towers collapsed without the aid of explosives...coincidences happen, but not 10 of them all occurring in the same moment, which is what it took to bring down a structurally sound building built with the intent to survive a plane hit. Pools of molten steel is evidence of high intensity explosives. And that's not even counting the numerous studies done on the WTC dust which shows high levels of manganese and thermate.....the first lowers the melting point of steel by 500 degrees and the 2nd flash boils metal to 4500 degrees. This alone is proof to me that someone (not terrorists) orchestrated a timed, well planned, and deliberate demolition of those Towers. At some point, someone, or some group, must be held accountable for the senseless murder of nearly 3000 American citizens, and the invocation of their death to murder nearly a million abroad. The nation must know the truth, and those responsible, deserve to pay for their inequities against humanity.

Studied for 3 years for a degree in Physics which I believe provides the experience and knowledge to make a valued judgment regarding the 9//11 conspiracy.
From the evidence I have seen, such as explosions seen and heard by witnesses, as well as the very uniform way they fell, it is not possible to melt steel at the temperature at which kerosene burns, so another substance such as Thermite must have been used. Also where are the black boxes from the planes? Never in the history of flight has a black box not been recovered, yet mysteriously neither have ever been found.

You can ignore my signature because I am not a US citizen. However, if there will not be a proper investigation of 9/11, I will inform everybody I know about the rational scientific arguments that point to the use of thermite explosives.
It is physically impossible for the WTC Towers to have collapsed due to the airplanes. The amount of Energy that has come free from the fall, could never have come from an airplane crashing in to them. A lot of indications point to the use of thermite, which would explain the amount of energy that came free, the melting of the structure and the presence of all the metals in the dust and the rubble... So why would anyone put these explosives there while terrorists flew into those buildings?

I am also working at a consulting engineering firm specializing in building sciences and have been working in this field for over three years now doing draftwork, site surveys and reports among other responsibilities.
It is rather clear to me after reviewing the evidence presented by this organization and countless others that the official account of the 9/11 event by the American establishment (government, media) is physically impossible. This has even been noted by NIST itself when admitting to the free fall of the WTC 7 building, while still refusing to address the fact that it would take explosives loaded on the lower support columns to achieve this free fall speed. The public needs to bring this issue to the forefront of mainstream awareness and the opinions of verified professionals and qualified individuals needs to be taken seriously and not ignored.

At first, and without much thought, I accepted the collapse of the two main buildings as possible if much of the fuel had fallen down through the center cores and a substantial portion of the main supports were somehow weakened. But the collapse of Building 7 made no sense. Now, having listened to various theories and analysis, including: 1) audio analysis in which evenly-timed explosions can be heard for no explainable reason, 2) evidence that thermite or thermate was found in the ruins, 3) videos that shows puffs of smoke exiting the building below the critical fire zones, 4) and analysis that explains why nothing in the buildings could cause enough heat to melt or substantially weaken the supporting steel girders, I'm baffled. There seems to be no logical reason why the buildings collapsed other than by controlled implosion, and that makes no sense either unless there is a shadow government that exists outside the government we supposedly control acting in its own interests.

I have no formal engineering or architectural education. I have, however, had numerous college physics courses and i believe that I have a fundamental understanding of the forces acting on a building when it collapses. I have a degree from Eastern Connecticut State University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I have also taken Physics 1&2 at the University of Connecticut.
I know of no other structural fire in the history of steel construction that have catastrophically failed due to a structural fire. I know that the buildings fell at near free fall speeds, in an untypical symmetrical fashion. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel. Building number 7 was never impacted and had minimal fire on several floors, then v-ed and fell like you would expect to see during a controlled demolition. Also, there is footage of firefighters and police officers telling cameramen to move back because the building was going to come down.

After working for two years I returned to the University Physics Dept. and obtained a BS degree. No courses on Semiconductors were offered at the time but the job I got was primarily designing and developing Large Power Silicon Devices. The largest was a 4,ooo,ooo watt SCR (silicon control rectifier) or switch.
I had a hard time believing that the airplanes crashing into the twin towers could cause the amount of damage that occurred but when I saw the film of building #7 going down I became convinced that it was a planned demolition. This conviction increased my suspicion about the cause of the excessive damage to the twin towers.

Although I am not a scientist or architect, I am an intellect with full capacity to reason.
I keep waiting, hoping, for Americans to wake up. Questioning our own government is fearful when it shouldn't be. It is our right. Yet, the nation watched as three buildings fell in controlled demolition manner and we continue to allow our government to deceive us.

On some videos of WTC 1 and 2 collapse one can see core columns still standing in clouds of dust while the building surrounding them is already gone. In my mind they needed some core columns to stabilize the straight downward movement of the towers to prevent major damage of the buildings surrounding the WTC towers. The remaining core columns are than brought down a few second later. There is no technical evidence to support the official story of WTC collapses, the official story does not make any sense except for the political agenda. I will give back my degree in physics and engineering if the official story is true.

Received B.Sc. in Physics at the University of Winnipeg, Canada. Spent two years in Master's program in Theoretical Physics at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Dropped out to pursue other interests in software development. Founded a software start up.
The free-fall speed of a collapse is suspicious. Visually it is strikingly similar to controlled demolition. Big media was talking about computer models used by an investigation, and, from my experience with computer models, they can be misleading, or fudged whichever way one wants. If computer models were used by investigation, these must be open sourced, so that (a) it can actually be run on my computer to at least validate that there is a model that supports official claims, and (b) to see what sort of actual computational paths are used, what assumptions are present, what physics is modeled, and whether it is real.

I obtained a double B.A. in Biology and Chemistry from IU (1982), and joined Phi Beta Kappa. I went to the IU School of Medicine, but left voluntarily in my junior year (could not take lack of sleep). I obtained an M.S. in Secondary Education from IU (1987) and have taught all levels of Math and Science, including Physics, since that time. I currently teach Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology at Butler Tech, a highly-respected Career Technical center.
While not an architect or engineer, my knowledge of Physics leaves me no doubt that the AE911truth analysis is completely correct. To me, there can be no doubt whatsoever (unless Congress had repealed certain laws of Physics that day) that all three buildings were skillfully wired for controlled demolition beforehand, and were purposefully imploded via these explosive devices on 9/11. Other than your expert analysis and our own eyesight and common sense, the most damning evidence came from Larry Silverstein, the owner of the WTC complex, who said from London on 9/11 that, due to the fire, they might have to pull, i.e. implode Building 7. Americans must know the truth!

Presently I only hold an Associates Degree with studies in physics and a publication. My directed research at UCF included Micro-Raman Spectroscopy and Non-Linear Stochastics.
After viewing the buildings collapse for the ninth time that day, one of my first responses was that the Buildings had collapsed too quickly. It was not until Dr. Jones published his article online in 2004 that I finally had some reliable conjecture to support that hunch. When I later did some of my own calculations was I truly convinced that indeed the controlled demolitions conjecture was more reliable. Ever since I have put forth the effort to relay the information to anyone willing to examine the evidences. Unfortunately Shopenhauer's statement regarding truth has proven to be correct. So far we still seem to be around step two.

The official account is not physically beleviable. The buildings were designed to withstand impact of large aircraft and the fires were not catastrophic or capable of heating the structural steel sufficiently to cause failure.

My PhD is in Biophysics. I have extensive experience in Biomedical research involving Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and molecular structure. I have since retrained as an acupuncturist and now work mostly in health care. However, I am still employed part time as an NMR spectroscopist at the University of Florida Chemistry department.
I have reviewed some of the scholarly articles and it seems that many questions as to the cause of the WTC destruction remain unanswered. A re-opening of the investigation is warranted given the nature of the scientific data which raise many questions.

I have a physics degree and have been studying the 9/11 documentaries very closely for a couple years now. I think that the evidence of a government conspiracy is overwhelming. It's sad that most Americans don't have the attention span to do their own research about this...
I have to say that it is more than obvious that it is what you guys say it is. I used to think it was all conspiracy and now (after watching hundreds of documentaries about this and they all say the same thing,) I think that the people need to take their country back from the money...
