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 many thousands of families and individuals who lost friends and relatives on 9/11 deserve to know what actually happened that day; and the real perpetrators of the crimes need to be brought to justice. A new, independent, scientific investigation into the collapses of the three towers would provide the first step in that process.

Milwaukee, WI
I am/was a project engineer with 15 + years in the energy industry and exposure to gas engines and fuel combustion. I have experience in ASME/AWS code material (steel) selection and material strength calculation and loading analysis, plus pressure / temperature calculations.
The nearly uninhibited free-fall of all 3 buildings is contrary to laws of physics (Newton's laws of motion and the conservation of energy / first law of thermodynamics). The collisions during the building collapse (i.e., upper floors dropping into lower floors) would demand that the falling body (upper floors) should slow down far below natural gravitational acceleration value (32.174 fl/s^2 or 9.81 m/s^2) due to momentum and collision losses. The momentum / mass of the lower stationary floors (f=m*a and m1v1 & m2v2 products) would reduce the average speed and acceleration rate of the falling mass, and 2) the energy absorbed (force * distance) via the collision and material distortion (i.e., steel bending), or material disintegration (i.e., concrete crumbling) as the falling upper floors collided with the floors beneath must also reduce the acceleration rate. Also, the jet fuel and office fire burned BLACK (indicating an oxygen lean/fuel rich fire), which would not produce a temperature hot enough to melt such a massive steel structure, much less weaken the structure to the point of collapse, especially as the collapses do not occur with any sort of directional bias (falling toward the failure or weak point).

Inventor, designer, and owner of manufacturing business. My company processes 250 to 300 tons of steel and other materials annually into manufactured products, mainly for the agriculture industry. My company utilizes a variety of materials processing technologies including: laser cutting, plasma cutting, shearing, machining, welding, and heavy pressing in the thousands of tons. The steel structural materials, of which the world trade center buildings were made, are very similar to the materials we process. Age 61, 35 years experience.
Popular explanations of the collapse of the world trade center buildings seem to ignore the structural roll of columns. The public television production, Nova entirely left out the core columns of the building in their animation of the collapse, focusing our attention on floor pancaking, as though the floors are the structure that support the building. Even a slight understanding of how much force it would take to telescope the columns of these buildings all the way to ground level and beyond, makes the official explanation laughable. The same is true of the heat generated by an oxygen starved fire in weakening the high strength structural steel to the point collapse. Only explosives could have reduced these three buildings to their own footprint in so short a time. We are witnesses of this crime; it was done in broad daylight and many of us saw it on live TV; yet, most of us still don't know what we saw.

I am actively promoting the hidden information about 9-11 Truth, as I have been since Feb. 05, 1000s of letters, contacts across the US, and personal presentations throughout W. Virginia. A double reason for this investigation, it shows the great deception of our national media, and leads to much darker, sinister events on going. You must view and accept one premise, to be able to consider another. If you truly evaluate the available facts, you will quickly see much more horrific things on on-going, covered by the same deceptive main stream media. As predicted by Pres. Eisenhower, our military-industrial (media) complex has gained a ruling, and unseen hand over all our affairs, for their profit and control. As the evidence is careful excluded from main stream media, most are completely unaware.

The way the WTC1 and WTC2 steel-towers collapsed, after burning less than 1 hour, simply cannot be explained by the oxygen starved office fires which were the result of the plane impacts. Especially after the kerosine had all burned off. The buildings disintegrated at almost free-fall speed. The part of the towers below the impact zones, which should have been completely intact and strong, did not provide any resistance in the symmetrical freefall collapse of the buildings. The limited pile of rubble remaining is not consistent with a 450 meter tall towers. The symmetrical nature and freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

After deselection from the college teaching profession, I have sold drill bushings, managed an apartment complex, and currently work as an administrative secretary at Cornell University. Although my degree work is in language and literature, I am not scientifically illiterate.
There was just far too much energy expended in the destruction of the twin towers to be adequately explained by the official theory, insofar as that can be pinned down on any given day. The particle size of the remains of the towers was way too small, the pile of debris way too short, the speed of fall way too fast. The anomalies that remain to be explained are many, and the official theory does not begin to address them adequately, or indeed, at all, in the case of Bldg. 7. I want to know about the toasted cars, the hole in Bldg. 4, the survival of the PATH trains, and a lot more.

My analysis of the the 9/11 Commission report concludes that it is a whitewash. It is remarkable for its omissions, which have been detailed by others The political bias of its operations director is highly suspect. All the buildings clearly show the mark of controlled demolition. Enough evidence suggests it was allowed to happen to justify a new, independent and impartial investigation with all results made public and all testimony made under oath. I have read most of the critical published books and reports.

My academic training is not related to the fields of expertise relevant to the collapses of the buildings. I am joining as a supporter and a doubter of the official collapse theories.
Official collapse theories just do not make sense and do not match the photographic evidence and eye witness reports. Too many questions were not really answered-what pulverized all of the concrete, what caused the melted steel pools in the basement?

As a former scientist, I am faithful to the principle that the theory to follow is the one that best fits the available evidence. For as much painful it is to admit it, the controlled demolition hypothesis explains the available evidence much better. That's why a serious investigation is mandatory.

As a musicologist and organology enthusiast, I have always dabbled in acoustical physics as part of my field and spent time with music-loving physics professors and engineers. The events of 9/11 initially piqued my interest (having watched it all live on television), but questions about the buildings' destruction lay dormant until I was exposed to some of the works of David Ray Griffin in 2004. Since then, I have kept up with the latest research, coming to the conclusion that the official account is not sustainable using the available evidence and that a new investigation is needed.

I am not an architect or engineer. But I am not a fool, nor am I entirely unacquainted with the laws of physics. To call the three WTC events fire-induced gravity-driven collapses is to abuse the English language and the memory of the victims (including all the victims of the 9/11 wars), and to insult the intelligence of anyone within earshot.

I was awarded an NIMH Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Psychobiology, University of California at Irvine from 1970-1973. I then served as an assistant and associate professor with tenure in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, and as a full professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign from 1982 until 1988. I moved my office and laboratory to the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology (on the Urbana campus) in 1988. I retired in 2003. My research concerned analyses of the neurophysiological substrates of conditioning, learning and memory. I have published many articles and chapters and have been a co-editor of two books on these topics.
I am convinced that the twin towers and WTC building 7 collapsed as a result of controlled demolition. This conviction is owed largely to the evidence marshaled by David A Griffin, Richard Gage and many additional scientists and architects who have carried out scientific research on these most important events. It is essential that citizens of the U.S. and the world be informed of these scientific findings and conclusions in the interest of arriving at a just resolution of the crimes committed on 9/11 2001.

As I teach courses on scientific reasoning, I'm always on the lookout for good examples of bad science, and I thought the 9/11 conspiracy theories would provide some material. I was shocked to find many good arguments among the bad ones. In particular, arguments that the global collapse was not powered by gravity alone seem virtually conclusive. The way NIST has ignored this issue (or said silly things about it) helps to support the conclusion.

I have been a college professor and active scientist for nearly 45 years.
From the day I watched the TV news coverage of the Twin Towers free-fall to the ground and then awhile later heard that Building 7, though not hit by a plane, also free-fell to the ground, I thought, along with some of the early news commentators, that the collapses looked like controlled demolitions. Then there was the clear reticence on the part of the Bush Administration to open an investigation. Finally and begrudgingly the 9/11 Commission was named and produced what turned out to be a woefully incomplete and inadequate assessment. In the face of the magnitude and gravity of 9/11, the cost in dollars and, most importantly, the horrendous loss of human lives, such an inadequate treatment is not acceptable under any standards. Not long after 9/11, websites began to appear which posed fair and reasonable questions challenging the 'official' version of how the buildings fell, and related issues. The writings of prominent scholars, such as David Ray Griffin and others, considered the diverse and mounting pieces of evidence in systematic and thoughtful ways. While one may disagree with the interpretation of this or that piece of evidence, the emerging mosaic of physical, economic, political and social evidence is compelling and demands a reinvestigation. Frankly, at this point I don't see how our country can go forward as a democracy until this matter is fully and completely settled by an independent, comprehensive, competent investigation by a body with full subpoena power.

There are serious and legitimate questions about the collapses of the towers and building seven, as well as many other aspects of the events of 9/11. Thus far, official answers have been unconvincing. The official 9/11 Commission Report, in particular, has been shown to be seriously flawed and misleading (Griffin, 2004). And NIST consistently avoids the critical questions. Our security requires an accurate accounting of what really happened. Thus, we need, for the first time, a real, probing investigation by competent professionals without significant ties to the administration. Is that so unreasonable? If the government is unwilling to support a new investigation, they should at least be willing to publicly defend the official account against legitimate challenges by competent authorities in the various relevant fields. So far they have been unwilling--or unable.

The scientific evidence is overwhelming that the events of 9/11 involved participation by the Bush Administration...at the very least treason, at the most murder. We need an independent investigation to expose the lies and bring the real criminals to justice. We need the mainstream media to stop supporting policies that lead our nation to war (which in turn feed their own coiffers) and investigate the news, reporting the real facts.

Born in WV, spent time as a religious brother prior to Ordination to the priesthood, issues of social justice are my main areas for homiletics, taught social work at Temple University School of Social Administration, serving on the Ethics Committee at West Virginia University Hospitals, faith and hope and love are my primary areas for living.
I have always doubted the official story of the collapse and even the terroristic theories. I do believe at times that the government was involved in the planning.

If planes brought down the two Twin Towers buildings, then why are they they only two buildings in the entire history of the world to be brought down by planes? Why did they fall in on themselves and not just burn at the top, as one would expect from other, similar crashes? Why did the third Tower fall? Why were explosions heard by many eye-witnesses prior to the collapse of the buildings?

I am co-founder of 'Studenten f'r 9/11 Truth' (Students for 9/11 Truth). We are a new organization seeking to support the global movement for truth about 9/11. I am a Biology PhD candidate at the Technical University of Munich, where I am conducting a critical review of the literature of glacial ice core samples in relation to climatology.
I am very concerned with the alleged collapses witnessed on 9/11. I recommend the excellent slide show presentation on this website as a starting point for those seeking greater understanding of the events of that fateful day.
