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 am the principal of a full service design/build firm with 28 1/2 years experience in a variety of building types including commercial, residential, civic, institutional, industrial and military. This includes new construction, additions, and remodeling. I do everything from initial preliminary design to construction documents and general contracting. Most projects range from $50k to $2,000,000.
On 9/11/2001 I was watching television coverage of the plane strikes and the resulting collapse (by controlled demolition) of all three WTC towers. I was struck with the unusual sudden collapse of WTC 7. I was also perplexed about anomalies concerning the Pentagon strike and the alleged hijacking and crash in Shanksville, PA. Since then I have viewed extensively 9/11 videos and am convinced of a multilayered conspiracy.

Because I consider the collapse of the three high rises at near free-fall speeds to be evidence of something else having gone on behind the scenes that day, most likely controlled demolition, even otherwise intelligent progressives consider me a tinfoil hatter now, most probably because of the recent National Geographic special. This is sad, but I believe that in time the psychological need to believe in the official theory will diminish, and the truth will be widely acknowledged. The most compelling evidence was broadcast worldwide repeatedly, ad nauseum. It will eventually be undeniable.

The evidence shows the 3 buildings brought down in controlled demolitions. 9/11 commission report is a cover up also. It is well past the time to hold the criminals responsible.

There are so many flaws in the media biased 'published truth'. Ranging from the disappearance of 'indestructible' Black Box Recorders, the blatant demolition of WTC 7 (wrongly announced by BBC). However the collapse of the WTC 1&2 due to 'Fire' defies belief, both intuitively and professionally! This was a pre-emptive strike against the U.S people to perpetuate the feeling of fear and to justify 'The War on Terror' against foreign countries including, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine & eventually (sadly) Iran. In ending, if you end imperialism, you end terrorism.

I have worked in performance improvement a lot and failure is a key part of this process. I'm presently an engineering consultant.
The fall of WTC 7 is close to free fall. The building remains do not resemeble remains from fire, but rather collapse from other things. As soon as a person begins to look at 911 using basic physics, analysis of gravity and inspection of remains, it becomes clear that there are questions which are not answered by the offical government report. These questions have now been left unanswered for many years, reducing the ability of a whole society to learn from this occurrence. Engineering is about answering key stakeholder questions, because it enables organizations and society to learn. These questions need transparency and accountability so that we can understand what was successful and what failed. By not answering these questions, we are skipping society's learning and therefore accepting that society is more likely to repeat this failure. Therefore with time, it becomes increasingly important to search for answers.

I originally did not question the 911 reports or attacks by the Middle Eastern radicals until a few years ago, when I became involved in the 2008 Presidential campaign because of my concern for our country and the obvious corruption of both political parties. I was using the Internet for news information due to the inadequacies and bias of the Main Stream Media, when I stumbled across the video clips of World Trade Center Building 7. The more I investigated and researched the events of 911, the more questions I had. As an engineer, the video of the collapse of Building 7 was an obvious demolition. One other disturbing aspect of the 911 events was the attack on the Pentagon. I am aware that there are numerous cameras all around the perimeter of the Pentagon, as this is one of the most secure and highly protected buildings in the world, yet not one video was able to record the actual plane impact on the building? The video provided by the government is a farce and clearly is missing video frames that would obviously show a Boeing 757 hitting the building. My question is what are they trying to hide, and who exactly is trying to hide it. That's why I'm signing this petition for a further investigation of the 911 catastrophe.

I have NO DOUBT that from the physical evidence, and engineering principles, that none of the WTC buildings came down solely as a result of the plane intrusions. It is my opinion that the evidence of an 'inside job' is so prevalent, and so sloppily carried out , that the perpetrators, are ASKING TO BE CAUGHT ! By being so SLOPPY, the perpetrators are inviting us to end the decades of 'behind the scenes/inside job manipulations' that have enslaved so many. Let's honor their subconscious request !

It has been shown through video evidence that the towers have fallen at free fall speed. This cannot be accomplished without demolition explosives. This occurrence was not mentioned in the 9/11 report and therefore the report is not useful and does not illuminate what happened on that day. A true investigation needs to follow to know precisely what happened and why explosives were present on each and every floor so that they could fall at free fall speed, as well as why building seven which was not hit by a plane could be destroyed by fire alone.

Given my knowledge of basic structural mechanics, properties of steel, and the structure of a light construction office towers, I think it would be impossible for the buildings to fall as they did from the jet crashes and subsequent fire, which was not hot enough to melt steel.

World Trade Centers 1 and 2 fell at the speed of gravity, with none of the concrete supporting below the fire line impeding it's progress in ANY way. The buildings did not simply just grown, roll and break over the edge of the fire line level as would be the natural expectation. There has been much not said about the subterranean explosions heard prior to the buildings falling into their own footprint. WTC7 was far more blatant in that it was imploded. Early (same day) reports from the ground, to clear the area by foreign accent troops that were recorded, played, and never shown again by it's own right show prior knowledge of the planned destruction. Not to mention the obvious way that this building was de-pillared and forced to drop straight down, (where the claims are that 60-some pillars would have had to strategically given way simultaneously). Educated, savvy, and average people raise an eye to the fact that never before, and never since Sep 11 2001, has any concrete and steel building ever fallen due to fire, let alone fire only burning for 1 to 7 hours. CRITICAL THINKING IS NOT A CRIME!!!

There is too much conflicting information and the official sources continue to maintain a shroud of secrecy around the events that led up to the collapse of the WTC. A complete and transparent investigation is needed to set the record straight.

I have worked with explosives in the surface mining area: designing the drilling & rock blasting, mine design and production.
In my opinion the twin towers and building 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition: According to all the reports the towers took about ten seconds to hit the ground. therefore the buildings collapsed at free fall (by using the law of gravity, H=1/2 at2). In controlled demolition the explosives are distributed on the building key points and detonated simultaneously.

The building collapse seems a result of other explosions that was places at the lowest part of the buildings, and at some other locations located on the main bearing points of the structures. no lateral forces applied at the upper level of such huge structures would cause the sudden collapse of the entire structures.

The Environmental Engineering Program was part of the Department of Civil Engineering, with an emphasis on water and waste water treatment. I have over 20 years of experience working as an environmental professional, providing compliance support to companies on the following topics: air quality, hazardous materials/risk management, solid & hazardous waste management, storm water program requirements, waste water permitting, underground and above ground storage tanks, oil pollution prevention, PCBs, and asbestos.
I first became aware that the official government story regarding the building collapses was suspect after attending the 911-Inquiry Conference in San Francisco in March 2004. Since that time, I have been part of the 9-11 Truth Community, and have kept abreast of the developments arising from the ongoing research efforts of a number of dedicated individuals. In particular, watching video footage of the building collapses, hearing the numerous eye-witness accounts of explosions prior to the buildings collapsing, and learning that molten steel was present in the building debris (which, due to the laws of physics, could not possibly have arisen from a hydrocarbon fire--even under ideal circumstances--given the significantly higher melting temperature of steel), lead me to believe that the official story is simply not plausible. Learning more recently that evidence of nano-thermite was discovered in a sample of the building material, was particularly disturbing and I believe strongly that we need to push for a new investigation into the events of 9-11.

It definitely appears that Bldg #7 was a controlled demolition along with the other towers. It was announced on TV that #7 was going to come down and I also saw a clip of Larry Silverstein say pull it, which is a demolition term. Popular Mechanics said it was brought down by fire, which is totally contradictory to what the news and silverstein said. How could all these explosives be set for #7 between 11AM and 5:20PM? It takes weeks of planning to set explosives for demolition. This leads me to believe that the explosives were set long before 9/11. The fact that the ground was still burning up to 3 months after is also an indication that jet fuel was not the culprit. Witnesses said there was greenish smoke coming from the ground and some rescue workers said there shoes were melting. What happened to all the office furniture and door knobs in the buildings?

The fall of WTC 7 did it for me. The fact that BBC had announced it prior to the collapse, and that it had not been hit by any airplane. Then if fell perfectly...the third skyscraper that day that just fell perfectly into its own footprint. No way...Then the media blackout on that building and not a word in the commission report...WTC 7 was very obviously a controlled demolition and no one puts that together on the day of 911...It had to have been planned. Inescapable conclusion.

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 studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. I then continued my education at the University of Minnesota, at the end of which I earned my Juris Doctorate. I have deep concerns about the democracy we live in and the transparency of the institution that governs us. I fear that my country no longer exists for the people.
The manner in which the building fell contradict science, history (other building in the past have been hit by planes or burning w/o a similar collapse) and the testimonies of eye witnesses.

I have yet to understand why any of the buildings collapsed. The official story just does not make sense.

Born lewisburg, wv; schooled at WVU; worked in Ohio, now in WV. Tired of the crap about the economy and the markets that are controlled by the people who have no idea how the industries even work. let an engineer run the engineering business, let a nurse run the nursing business, etc. Then, we will have a system where usefulness gets rewarded and incompetence gets punished, not vice versa.
We are being told about .0003% of the entire truth. Our people died for this, and the rest of the population deserves to know.

Before 9/11 no steel-frame high-rise building had ever collapsed due to fire, and the collapse of WTC 7 was straight-down, symmetrical in nearly free-fall, extremely improbable except in a controlled demolition.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering from California State University Long Beach and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of North Dakota. I also did work toward a Ph.D. (uncompleted) in Energy Engineering from the University of North Dakota. Since August 2001 I have been employed by the USEPA in Region 5, Chicago in the permitting branch of the Water Division.
There is nothing I can add at this point that has not been covered, with evidence, by many professionals and eyewitness accounts. All I can say is that the perpetrators of this ghastly crime must be brought to justice and be held accountable for their crimes. They are responsible for what happened on that fateful day and for the results that continue even today.

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.
