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.

Have been designing building structures for 35 years both in the UK and the Middle East with local UK based consultancies and with a large project management company in Saudi Arabia. For the last 14 years, I have owned and run a structural design consultancy in Edinburgh, UK specializing in steel framed, masonry and timber building designs.
From the outset, watching the collapses on television, it was clear there were very serious questions to be asked about how three robust steel framed buildings collapsed into their own footprints, one of which had not been struck by an aircraft and had been subject to a relatively minor fire. Given the evidence from multiple witnesses regarding explosions in the buildings before and after the planes struck, the stand-down of the US air force, the admission by the owner of the buildings of the decision to demolish Building 7, the immediate removal of structural evidence, the high temperature fires in the basements, the evidence for explosive residues in dust and obvious unwillingness of US authorities to offer a reasoned and full engineering explanation for the collapses. Since 911, the two relevant UK engineering institutions have failed to provide an analysis or to offer advice to structural engineers on progressive collapse and fire protection in steel framed buildings in complete contrast to previous serious building collapses. In my opinion, the official report on the collapses, or any other that I am aware of was entirely inadequate and should be reopened to fully investigate the reasons for these building failures and offer advice and guidance on limiting risk in future, and existing, structures.

I first believed the official version of 9/11, but I was not aware of the downfall of WTC7 because all focus was on the twin towers. When, years later, I saw the video of WTC7 coming down, I began to become suspicious about the official story. I began to study more and more the events of 9/11. The more I studied, the more I got convinced that 9/11 was an inside job and that WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 came down by demolition.

Recently retired after a 38 year civil engineering career in CA and OR - 15 as a consulting engineer and the remainder primarily in federal government service - COE, FAA, USFS and BLM.
Most state engineering license regulatory agencies state something to this effect: Registrants shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property and welfare of the public. (OAR 820-020-0015) This is paramount to a licensed engineer's duties. I've studied and pondered the information and comments made by engineers and architects who are likely guided by such licensing rules and who have more expertise in the subject than I do - both in and outside of your web site. I believe them. The facts presented make logical sense and reinforces the intuitive engineer in me that thought something was suspicious regarding the events of that day. My doubt of the official story has increased accordingly over time - thus I sign your petition.

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

I have not yet seen a convincing CIA/NSA/government-sponsored 'debunker' come up with an alternative analysis. We also need to stress that there is lots of circumstantial evidence out there that is as convincing as the physical evidence. I don't think the government will willingly fund another investigation. Spreading the message is far more important for now.

Currently serve as SEEDIdaho's President and resident Mechanical Engineer. I am a licensed mechanical engineer who has designed many commercial HVAC buildings and have been in the industry for about 10 years now. I have worked with structural engineers and understand the concepts necessary for structurally supporting a building. In addition, have received an education which includes materials failure, physics, structural analysis and other core classes which would help me understand a building's reaction to an impact of a plane and damage due to fire.
High rise steel buildings simply do not collapse due to fire. There is ample evidence of a controlled demolition and the rapid removal of debris implies a hurried non-investigated destruction of American property. This was a controlled demolition in which was not properly investigated. A travesty such as what happened on 9/11 should be thoroughly investigated and not swept under the rug. Building 7 is the proof necessary to warrant a different explanation as to who is responsible.

Truth, ethics and professionalism are completely lacking in the official aftermath and investigations surrounding the 9/11 disasters. It appears we went to war predicated on false information. The manner in which the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 were brought down, at free fall velocity and disintegrating into a pyroclastic cloud of dust and ash, suggests a contrived and controlled demolition from within. Building 7 is clearly seen collapsing from the bottom directly into its own footprint, in a typical controlled demolition style, a fact completely ignored in the official investigations. Where is the proper investigation and who really benefited from this? It is time to conduct a proper investigation to uncover the truths behind 9/11.

About the Twin Towers : no minor (and weaker) part of a structure is able to destroy the rest of it, whatever the speed with which they encounter. And WTC7 : among other strange hypothesis, to assign the fire protection class 1-C instead of 1-B is quite a help in getting 'overheated' floor beams.

Cannot understand how the twin towers collapsed in the floors below the airplane crashes and the other building collapsed without airplane impact. Only rational explanation is controlled demolition.

2 aircraft hit 2 buildings and 3 buildings collapse. WOW! 3 buildings collapse at free fall speed, but there were only 2 aircraft. WOW! Pancaking would take much longer to collapse WTC1&2 and the rubble pile would be much higher. The basements had to be cleared in order to take the volume of the material. WTC7 did not pancake, as seen from the footage this was controlled demolition as confirmed by the landlord.

Like Richard Gage and the ae911truth organization, I accepted the official story until April 2008, when I read a paper written by Steven Jones, BYU physics professor. The towers and building #7 collapsed at near-freefall velocity, consistent with a controlled demolition. The NIST report is inaccurate, if not entirely bogus. The collapse of the trade towers should be re-investigated as a joint scientific (like the Challenger space shuttle disaster) and criminal (a team of independent forensic scientists) investigation.

I have been working as an electrical engineer for over 5 years. I am deeply interested in studying the events of 9-11, arguably one of the most pivotal events in modern human history.
I never questioned the official explanation of events of 9-11 until the winter of 2006 when I saw a brief video on youtube of WTC 7 collapsing. At the time I never even knew there was a 3rd building collapse. Even though it's difficult not think of the political implications, I try to focus purely on the physics and science of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapses. After reviewing the videos and witness testimony of the building collapses I have very little doubt that all three buildings were brought down in a controlled manner.

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.

Having seen several videos over the years about 911, I thought there was sufficient doubt thrown on the official explanation to warrant further investigation. The way the towers fell (especially building 7), the speed of collapse, the claim that the fires were hot enough to melt steel, all seemed suspicious to me. Having just read David Ray Griffin's book on the collapse of world trade center building 7, I am convinced that the whole scenario needs to be revisited and scientifically investigated by a non-politicized panel of experts in all the applicable fields: structural engineering, explosives, physics, chemistry, etc.

In my view, the vertical collapse of the Twin Towers core structures could only take place because the structures' pillars and the corner pillars in one or more of the lower floors all at once were cut by explosive charges, thereby entering the entire structures above into a free fall, gaining sufficient downward momentum to make the structures below crumble. However, I do find it hard to explain how the core steel-frame structures could disintegrate and why the disintegration happened in the same way in the two towers. To me it seems likely that in an uncontrolled collapse one or both towers would have capsized with even more catastrophic consequences. As regards WTC7, it seems obvious to me that the sudden collapse was controlled, although the videos that I've seen do not show explosions in the lower part of the building. I have not read the official reports explaining the vertical collapse of the three buildings. However, if the civil engineering community cannot deliver a proper peer-reviewed explanation of these collapses, it has a serious professional problem. Explanations of major structural failures has always been essential for progress in the design of safe structures and in the education of civil engineers. Future textbooks on the structural design of steel-frame high-rises must contain factually consistent explanations of the collaps of WTC towers - otherwise we must admit that we do not know the essential properties of such constructions when exposed to impacts and fire. Which is clearly unacceptabel for the professional community.

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

WTC 7 - Controlled Demolition - - WTC North and South - Even if the impact from the planes and subsequent fire were able to weaken the main structural components of the towers there is no possibility for them to fall in their own footprint, at the speed of gravity, nonetheless.

The scientific method has never proven in any capacity that skyscrapers can completely implode, let alone efficiently and symmetrically, from external impacts or fire. According to official video coverage, it is not even clear what struck the first two towers (esp. by watching in slow motion), and WTC7 experienced no related impact whatsoever, aircraft or otherwise. Evidence that all three buildings were demolished professionally was observed by several eyewitness reports stating the presence of multiple explosions and confirmed through forensic analysis, specifically research by Dr. Steven E. Jones of BYU (whom to this date is the only individual I am aware of who performed ANY forensic analysis on the building debris). Further, Larry Silverstein's public pull it statement regarding WTC7 was particularly incriminating and obvious, his profit of $500M resulting from his prescient insurance policy on the building notwithstanding.

I am a Civil Engineer-in-Training working for the City of Milwaukee. I have researched this event continuously for the last 2 years and have been interested in it for the last 4. This event took place on my birthday so I feel compelled to find the truth about what happened that day. So many pieces to this disaster don't seem to mesh with what the government told America and I want to find out what happened. If our government is this corrupt, they must have their own agenda and are not making decisions by the people for the people.
Even though Debunking 911.com says there was a hole in the south side of building 7, that conspiracy theorists did not take into account, it does not mean the building falls neatly into its own footprint. If there is a hole on one side of a building, the building will tend to collapse toward the weakest point, toppling the building over or collapsing in some sort of non-symmetrical manner. Videos from building 7 show the building, at the same time from all 4 corners, collapsing straight down into its own footprint, not damaging anything else around it. How does this happen if there wasn't some other element helping with the collapse?

On a eu l'occasion de faire passablement de calculs avec un gros projet de construction m'tallique et mixte acier-b'ton (10'000 to d'acier), les capacit's plastiques et de redistributions nous ont toujours 'tonn's...ce qui n'est pas le cas avec les 3 chutes verticales des WTC 1,2 et 7 !!! Translation: After conducting many researches with a colleague at Guscetti & Tournier, SA (now known as INGENI SA), we compared the FEMA and NIST analysis and different arguments in their reports with information we researched on the internet. Fortunately, we have the internet... We were able to do many calculations based on large projects: one was a steel framed structure, and the other a steel reinforced concrete structure (10,000 tons of steel); the elasticity and redistribution of forces surprised us each time...which cannot be said of the 3 vertical collapses of WTC 1, 2 & 7!!!

The official explanation is not accurate because it is not based on science.

Obviously impossible according to official story. All buildings of that size are designed with safety factors against exactly such an occurrence. The odds against both primary buildings and WTC7 collapsing due solely to aircraft impacts without planned demolition are absurd. Clearly controlled demolition was used to assist in the destruction of these symbolically significant structures.

I graduated with a Bachelor degree in Chemical engineering from an American University in Midwest(US). I have at least four years working experience in engineering field ( Chemicals, Semiconductors, etc). I'm currently self employed in my own country.
When I realized that WTC 7 fell the same way as WTC 1,2 at free fall speed. I knew there was a massive cover up in the terrible event occurred in 911 by the US government. I was also deeply troubled after seeing the conspiracy theory presented by Jesse Ventura regarding the supposedly missing black boxes, was actually seen physically by the first responder.

The visual and material evidence clearly shows that the issue has not been resolved. We still do not know what happened on Sept 11 2001, and we have the right to know the truth.

Begin the investigation with Building 7. Don't get distracted by anything else.

it seems obvious to me that the whole 911 debacle was planned for nefarious purposes and was not the result of aircraft strikes. Building 7 and indeed the twin towers destruction was never properly explained and the laws of physics were ignored by the official investigation

I have a BSEET from DeVry in Atlanta, Decatur campus, June 1986. While my field is Electronics, I have long been an admirer of architectural sciences and science in general. After seeing the horror of the 9/11/2001 catastrophe, I knew my gov't. would be using this unfortunate event to further their endless global war agenda by sucker-punching the American people, as they have historically, regardless of who was truly responsible.
I recalled some of the nightmares I had in the immediate weeks and months following of how surrealistically the twin towers seemed to simultaneously explode and disintegrate as if they were not really made of modern steel and steel-reinforced concrete and multiple-redundant load bearing design to withstand hurricane-strength winds and earthquakes. As a former seasonal resident of New York City in the early 90's, it would often give me and other New Yorkers no small amount of anxiety to be at the WTC, if only to change trains while commuting from the Newark PATH trains to the A & C subway lines, after the '93 attempt to bring them down. It's as if we collectively knew this wouldn't be the last attempt. I'll never forget my sister calling me in a panic just the minute before the second tower was hit to make sure I wasn't in NY after her husband, who was a concert tour bus driver had just checked out of the Marriott WTC-3 hours before it was crushed by debris from WTC-2. Later we found out that our aunt, a native of the Bronx, had a cousin who was killed while working at one of the financial firms in the towers. Throughout the unparalleled horror of the predictable clarion calls for an endless global war for vengeance, what they call their Global War On Terror, I call the War On Rationality, I managed to set my sights on opposing the impending catastrophe that the naked empire would pile on top of this tragedy in Afghanistan and Iraq with the World Can't Wait anti-war coalition. After just a few years, I noticed the intense debate regarding the improbable collapses -especially Bldg. 7- via the work of Stephen E. Jones and instantly realized the full depth of horror of an inside job.
