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 dynamics of the fall of the towers is inconsistent with a fall or accident resulting from the impact of such objects as the two planes. The vertical fall exactly along the axis of lift the building may be merely the result of failure of nodes per share promptly induced dynamicaly and coordinated.

The observational data alone easily disproves the collapse theory put forth by the U.S. government. The citizens of the U.S. deserve a full and open investigation with the entire process peer-reviewed by appropriate unbiased experts.

I earned my BSCE degree from the University of Massachusetts with a major in structures and later an MS degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. After graduation from UMass, I was employed in the field by two of the nation''s largest building construction companies, first the Austin Company (a design/build firm) and later the George A. Fuller Construction Company. The construction of one of the Austin Company building projects was the basis of my master's thesis. I also taught building design and construction related courses to civil engineering and architectural students at Vermont Technical College for twenty years.
In 2006 I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed. Professor Steven Jones' video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call. My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones. I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory. I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington: Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated. They are patently false. Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false.... The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning. However, this nationally respected 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7. Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01. Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day.

Graduated from WSU in 1995 with a B.S.E.E and a minor in mathematics. I now work as a software developer. I'm a proud new dad. I have interests in finance, and increasingly in an honest government that defends the constitution and helps ensure the America my son grows up in is as good or better than the one I grew up in, with liberty and freedom.
The building 7 collapse was obviously a controlled demolition. There was no direct plane crash, and a diesel building fire somehow caused a perfect demolition internal collapse. This was no accident, and to me, completely discredits the official report, and must be investigated and scientifically explained. I would like a release of any and all evidence related to 9/11, so the public can decide. There are many unanswered questions in my mind. How come raw materials from the demolished building are hidden away in warehouses, and not publicly available? Let independent auditors test metal from the wreckage for nano-thermite. Why is there no open scientific scrutiny and study? Why is the public prevented from seeing an analyzing the evidence? Why were air force pilots kept occupied training for the exact scenario (hijacking exercise) the day of the attacks? (air traffic controller saying is this real world, or an exercise). Where are the black boxes? Security footage tapes? Release the pentagon footage - all of it (there must be some hi-res footage not publicly released), showing the crash, to refute claims it was a cruise missile / inside job, and confirm it was a plane. Explain the Pennsylvania crash - why are there no large plane parts? Explain how black boxes can fail to survive all crashes. These are designed to survive, and yet *all* 4 vanished? This isn't possible. If it were, then there are serious problems with black-box design and a national redesign should be in force. Again, science to overcome this exact scenario (crashes) somehow failed? This contradicts the official report, and must be explained. Explain how diesel can melt steel. Modern material science is advanced enough to show jet fuel can't melt steel (1400 degree jet fuel fires can't melt steel at almost 2800 degrees), so how *did* it melt? Refute nano-thermite questions with evidence. Again, why does science contradict the official report? If it is eventually determined nano-thermite was actually used (contrary to the official findings), then go further, and identify who could have done such a thing? On such a massive scale? Undetected? Open up video security footage from inside the buildings to help identify the individuals involved, expose street camera footage to allow vehicles in/out to be identified so we can understand who could have done this and how they pulled it off. Motive and opportunity. Who stood to profit from 9/11? Follow the money trail. This hasn't received enough investigative attention. The whole affair smells of a cover-up. Too much contradiction with science, too many (easily answered) unanswered questions. If there is nothing to hide, why is all the evidence hidden away in private? All of these issues and many more need serious investigation, openly, by the public, which can only happen with access to the evidence in question. Currently there are too many secrets, too much evidence held in secret, preventing people from analyzing the evidence openly, drawing their own conclusions, and thus determining their own truth. Let's make the evidence public, so people can find truth, get closure, and move on once and for all.

I believe all the official stories about what happened on 9/11, particularly with regard to the collapse of the three buildings, are patently false, evidenced by application of the facts. I am appalled that the all the metal beams and other locations of metal, including molten metal, did not go through thorough metallurgical testing and failure analysis. Plane crashes and other accidents or failure events receive full analysis, with no stone left unturned. Here we have the largest metallurgical disaster/attack in our nation's history and the analysis and investigation has been woefully inept. We may never know fully what happened because much of the evidence was destroyed rather quickly after the event. With what I do know, it appears as if these buildings collapsed with the assistance of timed demolition. A thorough independent official investigation has not happened yet and must happen in order to glean as much truth about this major event as possible. The integrity of our nation depends upon this and the responsibility to our nation's citizens demands it.

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?

I have recently graduated with a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Salford (England).
Initially, after seeing footage of the flight 93 crash site I became concerned as it did not seem to match that of an airliner crash site which happened under similar (or any) circumstances. Further researching sites such as this showed that the are numerous widespread discrepancies in all the attacks between the official story and from what any engineer/scientist or even the lay person with a bit common sense could deduct.

What first turned me on to go looking for alternative theories to the 9/11 was the way that WT7 fell - and I was only 14 years old at the time. Place the two theories, collapse and demolition, side by side on a table and only one of these appears anything approaching plausible.

There are many lines of evidence to conclude that explosive demolition of all three buildings was a reality. The simplest and most convincing is the near-free fall acceleration of the collapsing buildings. Simple High School level physics is all one needs to understand this. Although I am not a member of the civil engineering or architectural professional community, I have trained and had careers in technical fields. The evidence presented by both Richard Gage and Professor Jones is so straightforward that professional status is not a requirement to understanding these facts. Their extreme competence and courage are to be commended.

The government data does not make sense. The building collapses always looked like a controlled demolition. Official investigation/report was too narrow, and ignored critical testimony.

I think you have a good case. First, the molten metal argument, to me, is the strongest argument, i.e, what was present to heat the metal to the required temperature? Second is the WTC 7 collapse, as the claim of the airliner impact can't be made.

I do not believe that AA or UAL lost an airframe on 9/11. The flights were drones, remotely controlled, to provide a cover for the controlled demolitions of the three buildings that occurred very shortly thereafter.

Airline Captain on the B- 747-400 and B-737-300 aircraft, formally based in Cincinatti airport where (2) 9/11 A/C landed and off loaded all PAX before they were eliminated Nazi style.
Hello, I am so happy that a professional organization is finally trying to dig up the truth! I am a former airline captain with over 9,000 flight hours, Captain on both the Boeing 747-400 and B-737- 300. After viewing many posted videos on Youtube I can tell you without hesitation that clearly aircraft # 2 B-767 - was radio controlled into the building ' Tower 2. The pod mounted on the bottom of the aircraft, is manufactured by Martin Marietta Corporation in Los Angeles. The pod has been used extensively by the USAF for outfitting drone aircraft for over 22 years, and you can clearly see it in (4) of the amateur videos- just before impact, with tower # 2. Also, I would like to find an 'insider' 'A and P' mechanic at both United and America to cross reference the A/C serial number of flight 77 and 93. I guarantee that they change the 'N' issued tail number. However, one could trace and find this original A/C, from an insider employee, at these companies- leading to the smoking gun these aircraft were not destroyed. Lastly, I was based at Cincinnati airport-which is where both aircraft flew to, and where: NASA AMES is located, and where all passengers were off-loaded before they where 'eliminated'.

I am a flight attendant and was at home watching the news the entire day of 9/11. I immediately knew something was amiss when those huge towers fell at near free-fall speed into their own footprint. I have no degree, no expertise to speak of other than my own eyes and a little common sense and I knew there was something wrong. I work with intelligent, degreed professionals that didn't see past the terror of that day to ask questions. I want everyone to know the truth.
I do not have the degrees necessary to comment about the building collapses other than it just didn't feel right to me and it hit really close to home and no one in my profession would even consider an alternate version to the official story, so I started looking for professional academic sites I could refer my co-workers to and found your site eventually, along with others.

Called for arrest and removal of perhaps in nationally televised Senatorial debate over C-SPAN2 broadcast in Prime-time 11/01/04.
Undoubtedly explosives-demolished the towers. More controversially the volume of material lost, check the size of the tiny piles of debris relative to Building 7's, plus the massive clearcut holes proven not due to explosions within Buildings 3-4-5-6 shows destructive capability far beyond mere controlled demolition, yet those tower did not sustain global collapse.

I lost two co-workers in the Pentagon air crash, Chad Keller-Propulsion Test Tech and Ruben Ornado-Propulsion Test Tech. I have been studying 9/11 from day one. My opinion is that a number of factors come into play. Thermite and Thermate was used to cut internal beams throughout at key locations, C4, shape charges, squibs. Audio and seismic evidence of explosions, UAV robotic controlled aircraft with underbelly control pods, WTC 7 served as a control center for calculated demo of buildings. JP 4 fuel not hot enough to melt steel, no evidence of Titanium jet engine parts. This evidence is all documented and should be of major concern to all evidence that is presented. Thank you for all your help in the ongoing investigations. The above written statements are not until proven facts considered are only my concerns and my own private opinions.

I am a professional airline Captain with over 41 years flying experience on everything from ultralights to wide body jets.
I would like to personally thank Lt. Col. Shelton Lankford for the best quote I have ever read which summarizes the events of 9/11: 'September 11, 2001 seems destined to be the watershed event of our lives and the greatest test for our democracy in our lifetimes. The evidence of government complicity in the lead-up to the events, the failure to respond during the event, and the astounding lack of any meaningful investigation afterwards, as well as the ignoring of evidence turned up by others that renders the official explanation impossible, may signal the end of the American experiment. It has been used to justify all manners of measures to legalize repression at home and as a pretext for behaving as an aggressive empire abroad. Until we demand an independent, honest, and thorough investigation and accountability for those whose action and inaction led to those events and the cover-up, our republic and our Constitution remain in the gravest danger.'

My name is Roman, I am a Russian national with Latvian citizenship studying Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Bristol (UK). I haven't been interested in world's politics too much until a few time ago, probably due to my age. However, the question of world politics recently became critical for my understanding of life and opinion about the world I live in because suddenly the things, which by default were set as a firm truth in my mind, collapsed and turned to be a complete absurd. Especially these ideas gained some significant power in my head after watching several movies on such topics as World terrorism, the 9/11 and other similar topics. As those most assuring, I would like to point out Zeitgeist, The Movie documentary and the Loose Change film by Louder Than Words production.
Although my profile is Aerospace, I do understand general physics and construction fundamentals to be able to have my own brief judgment on the 911 collapses. And therefore I have to admit that I do believe the fact that the Twin Towers and the WTC 7 were brought down by the demolition and not by the airplanes, without any doubts.

I have no technical knowledge of building construction or demolition techniques but as an Airline Captain with 30 years of flying I have a very analytical mind that has been trained to look at all the evidence in an incident or problematic situation before acting. When I apply this to 9/11 I see far too many inconsistencies in the official investigation to believe that it is completely factual.
There are just too many unanswered areas in the official report for it to be credible. The hard questions have not been asked or addressed adequately. It appears that the laws of physics were somehow bent on that fateful day, which we all know is impossible.

With my background I began questioning the events around 9/11 as soon as I rebounded from the shock of that horrible event. From a pilots perspective, I feel it is impossible to fly a jet with limited flying experience and no instrument rating across several states and not only find their targets, but hit them. I myself do not feel that I could accomplish such a daunting task.

Being a chemistry major in college what immediately struck me as unbelievable about the governments official theory was their disregard of the Laws of Physics. They are laws that cannot be broken. Also, the temperature discrepancies between burning jet fuel and that required to melt steel are just so ridiculously not-even-closethat it insults one's intelligence and common sense.

An obvious controlled demolition of all buildings that were demolished on 9-11-2001. An inside job without a doubt.

I started my flight training at the age of 16 while working and attending High School in Ohio. As I worked my way through the Aviation Industry as a Commercial Pilot. I built up experience throughout the US and flew Turboprop's until my retirement on Jan 1, 2003. My flying includes 23,000 hours as PIC over a 50 year career of business flying. John C.

After hearing the explanations that your associates gave for the demolition verses a collapse I started to examine the videos carefully and was able by pause and start, pause and start, in one second bits to observe and photograph the explosions and heavy Steel pieces blown horizontally during the demolitions. Other studies brought me to the conclusion that certain responsible people were informed in advance and acted to further their personal agendas by demolishing the buildings without warning the occupants or the Firefighters until Building Seven when the owner did warn the Fire and Rescue to get away. Immediately Building 7 is so obviously taken down that anyone could tell.

I am not an architect or engineer, but I am an employee of the Military Industrial Complex and I believe the collapse of the WTC buildings on 9/11 was controlled demolitions by evil elements in our government and the others we all know!
They were controlled demolitions. The evidence is clear and obvious. Only those driven by fear or ignorance will not see it.

I was born to be in aviation. It hurts me and the rest of aviation that events this 9/11 day were tied to aviation. I have wanted to be in aviation definitely since I was young watching them fly landings and take-offs over my house by Des Moines Intl., and from my first flight when I was 7. I have since taking an FAA Part 147 course which enhances my high school physics courses and other studies, to become a knowledgeable FAA A & P Mechanic.
From other disastrous encounters with planes and high rises, or even the fact that a high rise gets engulfed with flames more intense than the flames on 9/11, yet the buildings that suffered more still stood. How sprites were evident as building was collapsing on all buildings, even WTC7.

Thank you for such a rational explanation. Anybody that cannot understand what happened here is experiencing cognitive dissonance. It's a shame that the republic will end thusly.

A perfect and well planned, controlled demolition. . . Those core columns were massive and would not have melted had jet fuel burned around them for days.

As I watched the Twin Towers burn, and then mysteriously collapse after such a short time, the hair on the back of my neck stood up because every fiber of my being knew it was impossible. When I heard the first newscaster suggest controlled demolition, I believe it was Dan Rather, it all fell into place for me, and I have been convinced of that scenario since then. Further research of my own into metallurgy and mechanical and structural engineering only strengthened my already firm opinions.

I am co-owner of an aviation company (1st Class Air, Inc.) in Springfield, Illinois. www.1st-classair.com I have been in aviation for over 20 years. I am an FAA licensed airframe and powerplant technician with Inspection Authorization. My experience with aviation fuels (100 LL aviation gasoline and Jet A aviation kerosene, etc.) gives me some knowledge of their burn capabilities. Neither fuel has the stored energy to produce temperatures as high as needed to melt structural steel. Unless the fuel is ignited under high pressure and focused on a small area (such as with a cutting torch, etc) the temperatures are insufficient to have caused the collapse of the towers. I have many years experience in transportation having worked for a few railoroads and in the automotive industries. I am a veteran of the Vietnam war era having served in the US Air Force from 1971 through 1977 as an electronic equipment repairman. I am honorably discharged.
Having read the book The New Pearl Harbor and the report on the World Trade center attacks by the 911 Commission and many other publications I feel that a full independent investigation is overdue into what actually brought down the towers. While it is true that 911 changed everything I believe that the truth was not told to us. When the investigation that needs to be done is completed that will truly change everything. It must be apolitical and far-reaching.

I am an aviation student in south Florida. I am 27 years old. I have a degree in Technology and I understand construction methods of buildings. My brother designs buildings.
911 was an inside job. Take a look at Bush's memos about how he was planning on sending a spy plane painted in UN colors to Iraq to provoke Saddam into firing on it to start the war. This is just the excuse they needed to increase the propaganda for war with Iraq and now Iran.
