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 evidence suggests that buildings 1, 2 and 7 were most likely brought down in some form of explosive controlled demolition. The peer reviewed paper by an International Team of Scientists regarding the discovery of Nanothermite in the dust is very compelling.

Ever since I first saw the failure, I felt something was wrong. The pancaking of the slabs as they fell struck me as the kind of failure one might see in a concrete structure building with the columns acting as shear punches at each respective failure. I was amazed when I was informed it was a steel building. Since then, I have learned of the mode of failure of WTC 7 and the temperature of burning jet fuel vs. resistance of steel to such temperatures. Something is just not right.

It is obvious that the controlled demolition theory is the true one. It is also obvious that the official theory is not correct. I particularly note that the politicians involved even today are strongly ignoring the facts and are doing everything they can to cover-up, and fight against the truth coming out.

There seems to be a disconnect between the outcome and the cause of the tower's destruction. When I saw the towers implode symmetrically, in an orderly fashion, my immediate thought was that it can not happen due to a non-symmetric loading. The more the so-called experts, including the NIST engineers, tried to explain it, the murkier it got. I appreciate the effort of AE911Truth for continuing diligently to uncover the truth that does not contradict our engineering knowledge.

My name is Kevin W. Snedeker and was born, October 12th, 1985. I've been trying to figure out how things work since I can remember. In my Senior year of High school, an internship program gave students a chance to get out of classes for 8 weeks, 4 days a week to try and pursue what they believe would be a potential career option corresponding with the future college major. I chose to work at a Structural Design and Consultation Firm, and have been back every summer since. Once I graduated, I was given a full time position. Only when I began commuting regularly did I realize the impact on 9/11. I found out I, an American citizen, could no longer walk through a subway with a gym bag without being searched, despite LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE. This prompted me to understand why our constitution (bill of rights) was taking a back seat all of a sudden. The excuse that I kept hearing from officers was/it's security, well since when were we so insecure? i said, Since 9/11. Then began my research, and realized all the acts attempting to cover up the scientific facts that are common to me and my colleagues. Now, I'm trying to do as much as i can to inform as many people of the truth as possible.
The bottom line is the physics do not lie. All three towers (North, South and Tower 7) as per accounts on various independent studies, such as Richard Gage's or the documentary in-plane site fell at near free-fall speed, uniformly descending. This simply would not happen regarding the impact damage of the two planes and the fires in all three structures. Obviously, a plane impacting one side of a the towers won't do uniform damage to the structural frame. If a frame is not uniformly failing then frame would not uniformly fall. Structural members, especially steel members, would provide resistance in some areas creating a toppling effect. Further more, no steel frame structure has ever failed due to fire yet, official conclusions blame all three collapses on fire fueled by nothing more then office supplies when a good amount of explosive experts are on-record stating 95% of the jet fuel would have be combusted upon impact. It's plane false.

I am not an Architect and not a member of your group, but I have been a member of ny9/11truth, ny9/11t-action and nyccan.org for the past 6 years. I have collected many signatures for the 9/11 Ballot Initiative here in NYC for a new independent investigation of 9/11. Unfortunately our hard work and determination were slighted when the 70 000 signatures were eliminated by the NY City Clerk, thus gagging the voices of 70 000 New Yorkers. I am German born but a naturalized US citizen, traveled all over the world as a PAA in flight purser, retired now, but not retired to do everything in my power to get the truth out about 9/11.
My initial response to the collapse of the towers and building 7 into their footprints was that no building would collapse in this fashion having been hit by a plane. Building 7 in particular was strange, as it was not struck by a plane, and the fires that one could see smoldering and not raging were not enough to bring the building down in such a fashion. For a while I was in denial, but then I heard Dr. David Ray Griffin speak here in NY at a 9/11truth meeting and he convinced me that not all of what our government had been telling us was true. After that I continued reading, especially the scientific data and became an active member in ny9/11truth.

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.

All the evidence points towards a coverup by our government, at the least, of the true planners of this inhumane atrocity. At the most, it implies U.S Government complicit participation in the willful murder of 3000 of its citizens and over one million deaths from the immoral illegal wars that the event spawned.

Due to the seriousness of the 9/11 crime, and the subsequent decisions that destabilized the Mideast and eroded civil liberties, justice demands a fair and independent investigation of the evidence surrounding the planning and the implementation of the 9/11 conspiracy. The official narrative is obviously flawed with suppressed information and does not include the destruction of Building 7. The public has a right to know the truth and restore our faith in the National Security of the USA Federal Government.

False flags are a HUGE part of our history and I feel I am waking up slowly but surely.
The obvious demolition of all three Towers is a good starting point to start waking people up.

The entire building's material simply was turned into dust and melting metal. Aviation fuel burns @1350F - this temperature is not hot enough to metal steel and especially steel columns 6' thick. Also the fires were restricted to 6 to 10 top floors. No fire on floors of lower 3/4 of building. Paperwork from the Towers was scattered for 2 blocks (not burned) - autos up to 2 blocks away were burned and/or melted, unburnt paper on the ground and even under the burned out autos. - melted steel still melted and glowing 3 days later, and there was evidence of thermite or some other chemical/thermal action type explosive material.

I am a former terrorism planner for North Carolina Emergency Management. I wrote the state draft terrorism plan for the Nunn, Lugar, Domenici/Department of Justice grant. I have a background in military explosives, both on the battlefield (Somalia) and in training (Range 1 Inchon, hand grenades, explosives, and IMT, at the United States Military Academy, West Point). Today, I am an explosives instructor and safety officer for the Northwest Explosives Academy, teaching commercial blasting and demolitions. I am also completing a research PhD for the Critical and Sociocultural Education program at the College of Education at the University of Oregon.
Tower 1 and Tower 2 were professionally demolished. The way in which the two towers collapsed indicate that both buildings had been prepared for a multi-stage delay as found in a commercial blast train. The most important evidence beyond the eyewitness testimony of explosions, is the photographic evidence of angled cuts on the structural members of Towers 1 and 2 and the slag that appears below these cuts. These cuts show pooled metal that occurs with ignition of an M14 TH3 thermite grenade (and not the clean cuts as found with C4). Build 7 was, without contest, a deliberate demolition. It was not hit and should not have collapsed nor experienced structural failure near the rate of free fall. Finally, material evidence from 9/11 should not have been destroyed. As was repeatedly expressed to me, personally, months earlier by FBI Special Agent David Martinez in the North Carolina Emergency Operations Command; any emergency response plan following a suspected terrorist attack must take into account evidence storage, as the event should be viewed as both a crime scene and a mass casualty disaster. To this day, I am mystified why, in the wake of the greatest crime scene in American history, this was not done. Why was the structural steel and other physical materials from the site not kept? Why was it allowed to be sold off and melted for scrap? Someone in the Department of Justice was told to not object. I would like to know who and why.

Anyone with even a modicum of an open mind, grasp of the physical world around them and the curiosity to explore 9/11 would, I say cannot help to conclude that the collapse of the WTC 1, 2 & 7 was obviously brought about, at least somehow, with the use of explosives. Non-Americans, in the main, are not hindered by the American nationalism, patriotism, and to a much lesser degree, in this case, of the MSM dictating and controlling their thoughts and beliefs.

The basic laws of physics just didn't disappear on 9/11 because a government said they did.Multiple columns of steel cannot all at once, in one instant, suddenly lose all structural integrity and disappear to allow everything supported by them to collapse at free fall speeds because of kerosene or office fires.You can see they were all blown up.Why doesn't the US government release all CCTV footage from 9/11? Like the Pentagon, there must be lots of CCTV footage from around the WTC that has never been shown.

I grew up in Coatesville, PA during the 50s & 60s. Coatesville is where the steel for the 'forks' at the base of the WTC were made.
"My father, Russell W. Newkirk, was one of the inspectors that ok'd the steel to be used. He had over 40 years experience as the primary inspector at Lukens Steel/LukenWeld. After the towers fell he said over and over, 'No way, that's impossible!' He died less than a year after 9/11 always saying, ""What about Building 7?"" and ""Those bastards pulled another Pearl Harbor, I'll betcha."" He was a decorated US Navy 1st Class during WWII. For him to say and believe that he had to admit to himself that there were evil entities in the US Gov't. at the highest levels. It killed him."

The denial of bombs and the near free fall of the buildings do not make sense. The removal of evidence was criminal and needs to be addressed along with the similarities to the U.S. government's involvement with the proposed plan in the 1960's to make us retaliate against Castro by using planes in the same fashion as 9/11.

I know for a fact that molten aluminum DOES NOT appear orange, red, or any other color other than a silvery metallic color. I have seen molten aluminum ignite when exposed to air, however, it does not spark! There is absolutely no way aluminum could ignite a steel beam. Molten aluminum, if exposed directly to concrete, can cause the concrete to explode, however, it would need to be a very large contained vessel in direct contact with the concrete.

I have been traveling to Europe for the past two years, and gave many public presentations there, about the value of plant medicines, and about re-connecting with the healing properties of herbal medicine.
I have watched many documentaries about the 9/11 event, and find there are far too many unanswered questions about exactly what happened. I personally feel that our own government planned and executed these attacks upon our own country and upon its own citizens... causing the terrible loss of life of over 3,000 people... and terrible destruction in the Manhattan area. We need to get to the bottom of this, no matter WHERE the investigation may lead, or how high (in the government structure) the responsibility goes. It is a disgrace (and probably what was planned)... that we let this event galvanize public opinion against the Muslim world (in general).... and did not hold the country ARABIA.... (from which most of the supposed 'terrorists' came), responsible.... instead of Iraq. I believe that this entire event was contrived and acted on...by those who wanted (exactly) to run our nation into an endless war scenario.... and to create a false sense of terror... so that they could have a reason to escalate the security levels in all areas of our life... which are totally unnecessary. The subsequent loss of our freedoms in the United States, via such outlandish new laws as the 'patriot act' and the 'National Defense Authorization act'..... is appalling and unacceptable to me as a United States citizen !!

Forty plus yr. as pipefitter/welder with extensive knowledge of carbon steel and stainless steel weldments common to industrial pressure piping systems. Having spent many years on various construction projects I have acquired a basic knowledge of structural steel also.
Upon viewing the television footage of the collapse of the Towers on the morning of 9/11 I immediately thought 'that looks just like a controlled demolition'! Some time later, when it was declared that jet fuel fires had heated massive structural steel components to the point of failure, I was absolutely certain that I was being lied to. Based on my knowledge of oxy/acetylene heating/cutting and the temperatures required to soften carbon steel vs what temperatures can be reached by a diesel/jet fuel flame in open air (only randomly impinging on steel components) I concluded this to be impossible.

The majority of my service was in artillery. I have had explosives training, conducted many close air support missions and have seen the results of military ordnance of all kinds. And not only that, although I consider myself a very intelligent man, I was completely accepting of the official story at first, but I distinctly remember having a feeling, as I looked at the buildings burning, that they were going to come down the way they did. And I actually sat and watched the TV waiting for them to come down. It was just a gut feeling.
It is plain to see (unless all of the video evidence has been falsified, which is beyond impossible) that the twin towers were blown apart from the top down, throwing tons of structural steel laterally. The scientific evidence that thermite explosives were used has been peer reviewed and verified. The video and eye witness evidence of WTC 7 clearly shows foreknowledge of demolition.

Became board certified in internal medicine and then in in nephrology in 1980 and 1982 respectively. Became full professor at WSU in 1998. Continued patient care, teaching to medical students and residents and doing clinical and basic science research for over 3 decades until retirement in January of 2019. Now I work part time in a clinic and volunteer at a free medical clinic.
I was shocked when we saw the plane hitting WTC. I did my residency training in a Manhattan hospital and was familiar with the WTC surroundings. My wife got a picture there at rooftop. But after initial shock, started to have doubt about the validity of the official story. I started to read and watch all independent investigations about 9/11 and soon became convinced beyond doubt that the official version is UNTRUE and it was a false flag operation. I was happy to see AE911TRUTH being formed by Mr. Gage and others and stayed in touch with the organization. I am an enthusiast to tell people about 911truth whoever cares to listen, but now I see lot of disinterest in knowing truth. I believe in truth and that truth ultimately prevails.

Anyone who takes the time to truly investigate the 9-11 tragedy will find problems with nearly every aspect of the official account. We are told in essence that the planes at Shanksville and the Pentagon evaporated, that the twin towers fell at free fall speed, in pancake fashion, without explosives to remove the resisting floors, and that the Solomon Brothers (Building 7) fell at free fall speed due to a few fires on a few floors. Even a cursory knowledge of physics reveals that all of these things are impossible. We've not only been lied to, but it isn't even a decent lie.

I understand why it is difficult for many to consider the facts about the event of 9/11, even when the evidence is overwhelming in pointing to explosive devices planted and being used in the demolition of 3 skyscrapers. It is difficult to accept that one's government would cover up the truth and raises the question of 'why?'

I am a student veteran who has been researching this days events for over a decade. I have been an honor student and I have taken collegiate level classes while still in high school. I consider myself to be an intelligent individual. Shortly after that September morning I was sent on deployment to the European theater. That days events changed my life and it changed the world. There is no reason why it cannot be changed again.
I was an 18 yr old Illinois National Guard Infantryman and student at McHenry County College when I watched the two towers collapse. Even at that young age I knew that those buildings were demolished. I vividly remember talking to my father on the telephone shortly after the second building fell and saying to him that, 'it looks like they were demolished'. I really hope that all of the evidence will be looked at more closely because people like Steven Jones from BYU have done the research and found the residues that indicate that explosives were used.
