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 began having doubts about the official explanations for the collapse of the WTC towers soon after the explanations surfaced. The gnawing question that lingers in my mind is: how did the structures collapse in near-symmetrical fashion when the apparent precipitating causes were asymmetrical loading? The collapses defy common logic from an elementary structural engineering perspective. If you accept the argument that the fire protection covering was damaged to such an extent that structural members in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts were exposed to abnormally high temperatures, and if you accept the argument that the temperatures were high enough to weaken the structural framing, that still does not explain the relatively concentric nature of the failures.Neither of the official precipitating sources for the collapses, namely the burning aircraft, were centered within the floor plan of either tower; both aircraft were off-center when they finally came to rest within the respective buildings. This means that, given the foregoing assumptions, heating and weakening of the structural framing would have been constrained to the immediate vicinity of the burning aircraft. Heat transmission (diffusion) through the steel members would have been irregular owing to differing sizes of the individual members; the temperature in the members would have dropped off precipitously the further away the steel was from the flames'''just as the handle on a frying pan doesn''t get hot at the same rate as the pan on the burner of the stove. These factors would have resulted in the structural framing furthest from the flames remaining intact and possessing its full structural integrity, i.e., strength and stiffness.Structural steel is highly ductile; when subjected to compression and bending it buckles and bends long before reaching its tensile or shear capacity. Under the given assumptions, if the structure in the vicinity of either burning aircraft started to weaken, the superstructure above would begin to lean in the direction of the burning side. The opposite, intact, side of the building would resist toppling until the ultimate capacity of the structure was reached, at which point, a weak-link failure would undoubtedly occur. Nevertheless, the ultimate failure mode would have been a toppling of the upper floors to one side, much like the topping of a tall redwood tree, not a concentric, vertical collapse.For this reason alone, I rejected the official explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers out of hand. Subsequent evidence supporting controlled, explosive demolition of the two buildings is more in keeping with the observed collapse modalities and only serves to validate my initial misgivings as to the causes for the structural failures.

If you take a look at the material characteristics and the melting point of the structural steel, there is a discrepancy in how the steel of the towers just gave out in the way that they did. They would not have fallen in a uniform manner because that would mean all the structural beams would've had to fatigue from the heat at the same rate. Also when looking at the aftermath you can see there are angled demolition cuts on the steal beams.

It's been almost two years now since the FBI Counter Terrorism division said it would look into AIA's findings. NIST still has the 9/11 dust, but won't analyze it for thermite- even in the face of peer-reviewed independent research that already has. What will it take short of a public gathering of supporters on the steps of Washington, or getting Richard Gage to be interviewed by Jon Stewart, Bill Maher (or both) to raise sufficient awareness and begin a formal independent investigation?

Degreed as a chemical engineer in June 1965, in a French engineer school. I prepared a thesis on a physical chemistry subject until obtaining a graduate Docteur-Ingenieur in january 1970, at the university of Lille. The main results of my work were published in 'Le journal de physique' (French scientifical journal about physics) in march 1971 under my name and that of my bosses. After that educational period, I joined the steelmaking industry for my whole career. I worked much of the time for french USINOR group and finally during some years for the german THYSSENKRUPP when this company bought some parts of USINOR activities. I retired in May 2002. During my career, my job was about liquid steelmaking (special converters AOD for stainless steel) and hot rolling. I was a good specialist of reheating slabs of very special steels at a temperature as high as 2550 'F ! I've got a medal from the french steelmaking technical association (ATS - Association Technique de la Sid'rurgie fran'aise) for that job.
Concerning the 9/11 events, I am absolutely convinced that the softening of any of the inner columns of the WTC under a fire is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. These colums were similar in shape with the slabs that I had to reheat from the room temperature to that of hot rolling mill. Flames, as high as they can be, are unable to heat the metal in the whole thickness. As a matter of fact, to reheat a 10 inches thick steel slab, it takes a least 3 hours in a very special hot rolling furnace. The system is very close to the theoretical black body (radiation is the main heating process, despite the type of fuel used). This furnace demands two complete days of preheat to be operating. And, naturally, the slabs are not insulated as the colums of the WTC.

Video and other evidence of the collapse and destruction of WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 on 9/11/2001 appears to show that the energy required (as described by the official story) is inadequate to accomplish the destruction witnessed. Other more specific evidence which contradicts the official story has also been described. This requires an open and honest investigation, especially in light of the negative impact which this event has had upon our nation and the freedom of its people.

In the interval following 9-11, once the emotional impact settled; I began to think critically about those events. One aspect which troubled me from the beginning was the rush for retribution even before the rationale for the attack was clear. This raised an initial red flag. I have never been an easy believer in conspiracy theories. However, the manner of collapse of WTC7 particularly arouses considerable suspicion. It is impossible for me to believe that such a perfectly-symmetrical building collapse could result from random debris impact and subsequent fires. It is obvious that the hypothesis presented in the NIST report does not fully explain the empirical evidence. Therefore, we simply don't know completely what happened. The obvious omissions raise troubling questions. Considering ensuing political events which have been justified by 9-11 (eg. the Patriot Act & the Iraq and Afghanistan wars), it is imperative that we find out the full and complete truth about 9-11, so that we can hopefully take corrective remedial action.

From the very first time when I saw the collapse of the buildings on TV on 9/11, I could not rid of the impression that it reminded me an explosion. Especially the third building that collapsed with no reasons. I am not a specialist on explosives, but it is absolutely clear that this kind of collapse is a result of controlled demolition. Metals in armature cannot bend and yield at those temperatures induced by local fires.

There is overwhelming evidence available regarding the building collapses; evidence from a growing number of reputable groups and individuals that come from relevant professional backgrounds or disciplines, such as architects, engineers, physicists, philosophers, pilots, military and fire and rescue services. All of these professionals are presenting evidence, both empirically and logically (such as violations against laws of motion and conservation of energy) that undeniably bring in to question the integrity and validity of the reasons given by the 9-11 commission report for the destruction of all three WTC buildings (especially building 7).It is in the public interest, and is of paramount importance, not only to the victims who died on that day, but to all who suffered from the consequences of state actions in the various wars on terror that was precipitated by the events on 9-11, that a full independent inquiry must take place.

The WTC can not have been in free fall between impacts of hitting floor (pans), because of the continuity in space of the vertical supports holding up the building. Thus when the top came down and hit each floor (pan), the vertical force upward could not be zero between floor (pans). This undermines a key defense of the government's theory of 911. The continuity in space of the vertical supports of the building implies the continuity in time of the vertical force as the building's top descended. Based on the standard kinematic arguments this implies explosives had to be used to clear away the building below the falling top.

When I first saw the destruction of the WTC1 and 2, I could not but be amazed by the perfect collapse. This is something, with a scientific and engineering background, I could not fathom. Moreover, I was sure that the firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, had designed the towers against such a possibility (Remember the plane that struck the Empire State Bldg. in the 1940s). I was not aware of WTC7's collapse until later. I am now convinced the entire episode was planned in detail, but using middle-eastern dupes as the fall-guy.

The day I saw the buildings come down, something did not look right. But like everyone, I allowed my outrage and patriotism push it aside. Now, after watching the AE911Truth videos, it is obvious that there are so many unanswered questions. So much of the last 15 years is based off of what happened on 9/11. We need to know the truth of what really happened if we are ever to move forward as a united country. The family members who lost loved ones deserve it.

I am neither a licensed architect nor an engineer, but I do have undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics and a Ph.D in Physics from the University of Wisconsin. I did a post-doc and was a temporary lecturer at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, England for 2.5 years after completing my Ph.D in 1974, then taught physics and electronics for one year at the University of Texas, San Antonio, before moving into industry with 3M Company. I worked as an industrial physicist for 34.5 years for 3M Co. in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I specialized in many different material science projects, beginning with microgravity materials processing in low earth orbit aboard multiple space shuttle fights, and ending with 15 years of work on hydrogen/air fuel cell electrocatalysis and component development for the US Department of Energy. I have 57 issued patents to date and dozens of peer reviewed publications, including a review article in Nature in 2012 that has been cited over 580 times to date.
As a physicist who understands that there are many different 'truths' in the universe, I also believe that none surpasses the conservation of momentum in classical physical systems. It is inviolable and not subject to any arbitrary interpretation or statistical probability of being nearly correct or partially incorrect. That said, for me the measured free-fall collapse of the WTC towers is incontrovertibly sufficient and complete evidence that they were brought down intentionally. Despite the enormous amount of other evidence supporting the intentional collapse of the towers, none of it is beyond any shadow of a doubt like the conservation of momentum, linear of angular.

With my first look at the Building 7 collapse, it was clear to me that it was a demolition. I didn't know why, but it was. All these years later, with all the mounting concern I am finally speaking out. I just didn't want to believe the implications; too much for me to swallow. It seems now that nearly every politician is culpable. Either we rise up and realize the bottom line, ending the stranglehold of the military industrial complex, or civilization as we know it is over. Even if the scum that did this believes they did it for good reasons, it cannot be allowed to go unpunished. Revolution is brewing in all corners, I sure hope it can be a peaceful one.

I have a BS in Physics from the University of IL- Chicago, and studied for 2 years in the graduate physics program at Northern Illinois University. As an undergrad, I did my senior research thesis on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and while at NIU, I worked for 2 years on the Proton Computed Tomography project out of Fermilab National Lab. In my technical research, my main focus was high energy particle physics, particularly development of the detection system. This required knowledge of not only the particles, and their incredibly high energy collisions, but also the materials used to 1. contain the collisions and 2. detect the resultant array of particles caused by their collisions.
My first year high school physics students could tell you that the collapse of Building 7 could not have been caused by one support pillar giving out. The fact the building collapsed so fast suggests free fall, which only happens when there are no upward forces acting on an object. In order for this to happen, the entire support structure would need to be taken out, otherwise the support beams still in place would have supplied an upward force either stopping or slowing the rate of collapse. This would also cause an uneven distribution of the collapse, some areas would've remained intact while others fell. Think of a house of cards, if you take out one of the supports on one side, the house falls toward that side but some areas still remain standing. You take a card out of the middle, the house falls in toward the center, but the lower parts on the outsides remain intact. And as far as the evidence of melted steel beams, I have worked on projects that deal with some of the highest energy collisions (ie largest explosions) we can create, and we use steel and concrete to contain them. There is no way a regular fire could melt steel. There isnt enough energy in the collision of an airplane with a skyscraper to create that kind of fire, let alone maintain its burning long enough to cause all of the structural beams to give out.

There is incontrovertible, independently multi-sourced, multi-dimensional evidence proving WTC 1, 2 and 7 were demolished with explosives. The Government's assertion that these buildings fell due to structural failure from office fires is demonstrably false.

I am deeply disturbed by the evidence shown that indicates controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and Building 7. Whilst I have questions regarding some of the interpretations given, I cannot accept the official NIST version of events and enough doubt has been raised to justify a thorough independent investigation for the sake of the victims, their families, the American people and the people of the world.

The collapse of the WTC towers was too clean to be outright accidental. The impact of jet planes flying into the side of a skyscraper would have much debris cast out the opposite side, not as much effect in the downward direction as occurred. If the structure was strong enough to contain the aircraft, the full structure would have remained standing.

The collapses of WTC 1 and WTC 7 are irreconcilable with the official narrative.

From the first day it is clear that this is an inside job. After finding an ID from one of the terrorists on the ground, and directly they did know that it was from one of the terrorists - it's an impossibility. WTC 7 was the control room of the controlled demolition.
