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 could never see how any high-rise structure, especially the WTC, could fall apart and downward so symmetrically without its structural connecting points having been strategically blown out at timed intervals. I was initially stunned and just dumbfounded after seeing them come down in 2001 but had an uneasy feeling about the explanations given for this terrible event. I am glad to see architects and engineers coming together to lend their expertise towards finding a more rational explanation than what was provided.

A brainy, nerdy child, I was politically right-wing in high school in Virginia, but gradually shifted to the left during and after my engineering training in North Carolina, until after moving to Berkeley, California in 1998. Since around 2000 my interests have shifted away from politics and toward spirituality and permaculture. My view is that we should know the truth but build a sustainable future rather than trying to fight evil.
The WTC was obviously destroyed by controlled demolition; no possible combination of plane crashes or fires could have caused that damage. Those who believe, They wouldn't have done it or They couldn't have gotten away with it may still be psychologically unable to accept that our country is possibly governed by a band of ruthless criminals. Minds open gradually. Once a person's mind begins to open to this reality, they (at least currently) have easy access to the available evidence.

I graduated in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. I took several courses in Structural Analysis and Material Engineering, but I don't have any work experience in the architecture field. I also have a short experience as a glider pilot.
I am convinced that a steel frame building has a very small probability to collapse in an event of fire. The WTC 7 collapse is not explainable without resorting to the controlled demolition. The symmetry and velocity of collapse, the dynamics of collapse in general point toward the controlled demolition as a cause of collapse. Also, certain footage fully qualify as forensic evidence. As for the airplane hitting the Pentagon, I support PilotsFor911Truth.org, and find it unplausible that the airplane 'vaporized' upon impact scattering so few debris and showing a narrow and deep penetration into the building.

I have been involved in the design and inspection of structures for approximately 30 years, including dams, bridges, roads, canals, pipelines, retaining walls, drainage structures, and other structures.
One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering from BYU. I have studied heat transfer, kinematics, static and dynamic structures, as well as structures of materials. I currently work as a design engineer at a top aerospace engine manufacturer specializing in CAE tool development including finite element analysis.
I have an analytical as well as gut-level feel for how structures should behave under loads. WTC1 and 2 buildings were designed with redundant load bearing members for the explicit purpose to be able to absorb impacts from airliners as this was one of many design considerations at the time. The buildings should each have remained intact for longer than was witnessed below their impact zones - if a dynamic failure were to occure with upper levels impacting the lower levels, each structural framework in each floor below would offer some resistance, significantly slowing the speed of collapse compared against a free-falling body. The rapid speed of descent as seen in footage indicates no resistance in the members meaning something more was going on in the levels below the impact and fires. The clouds of pulvarized concrete billowing out during the collapse also raises flags. The amount of the dust generated is extreme and its pyroclastic behaivor indicates it had been superheated which is not readily explained in a simple collapse scenario. When I first saw the collapse of the towers on September 11, I was just out of high school and had basically no engineering background. In my journal that day I noted how it looked like the buildings were being demolished like the old casinos in Las Vegas. Concerning the complete casino-style collapse of Building 7, this was simply overt and is beyond suspicious. I hadn't seen the videos of Building 7 until several years later, but anyone who watches these videos is hard-pressed to explain the complete symmetrical collapse of the building with the top descending at near free-fall speed as a result of fires only.

The buildings were demolished. Eye witness accounts, but more importantly my experience and education, indicates the towers were demolished in a precise, controlled manner. There is no greater calling for architects than to protect the health and welfare of building occupants. Denying the truth about 9/11 is contrary to our ethical obligation.

It is absurd to think that all three towers were torn down by fire. It is clear that a lot still needs to be brought to light, and all this is even worse if one thinks to all the innocent victims that occured on 9/11. People should be aware of what happened on 9/11. The reasons why all this happened must be explained to the public, and this investigation is the greatest step towards such truth being brought to light.

9/11 caused a great deal of harm, and many of us believe the official channels have not been forthcoming enough and have not discussed in sufficient detail the great deal of evidence concerning that incident.

I am convinced that the official interpretation of the events of 9/11 cannot be true due to physical reasons. The free fall of WTC 7 alone (but the other towers, too) is a contradiction to universal laws of physics, especially Newton's 3rd law of motion (action = reaction) and the law of conservation of momentum.

I am waiting to learn that the US government, in order to bolster its constricted pancake theory of collapse, has done studies of other demolished buildings around the world. It seems that if a building can be forced to collapse on it own footprint merely by burning jet fuel in a top story, that must be much cheaper than hiring an expert company to mine the floors in succession. Why would this theory not demand it be proven in practice, by practicing on buildings that are destined to be collapsed anyway? Yet I have never heard of the US government performing any such experiment. This seems like strong evidence that the US government knows that its pancake theory is absurd and impossible.

I watched on TV in UK. I saw BBC female reporter twice say building seven had come down. The report was the same but hours apart, in the 2nd one building 7 came down behind her at the end of the report. At this point my previous suspicions were confirmed and I was out in the street screaming ''bast@rds!!!''

I was a General Contractor for over 20 Years. There is no way these buildings fell the way the report says they did. The facts don't add up. We need an investigation into the whole matter. There is just no way a rookie pilot could have flown an airliner into the Pentagon the way the government says it happened. Rookie pilots flying into the Twin Towers is pretty sketchy at best. First, How did they fly from Boston and find the towers? How did we not protect this airspace.

At the U.N. I was trained as a Peer Counselor, by the U.N. Staff Counselor's Office. Part of my training included Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. I worked 35 years as a Maintenance Mechanic specializing on 'Hardware' for all aspects of doors. I installed & maintained door checks, floor checks, panic devices, latch sets, maintained revolving doors. I worked very closely with our U.N. Fire Unit to insure all emc fire exit doors were operating properly. My education was high school, some college, then I went to work at the U.N. Although my primary job description was structural worker, whenever additional training in peer counseling was made available by the U.N. I took advantage of this additional training.
I was at work that day, I was considered 'essential services'. I helped evacuate the staff from the U.N. complex then I was required to stay overnight at the U. N. From that day, I knew something was wrong, a beautiful clear blue sky day, then this happened. When the wind came up from the South, the smell from the 'pit' was like when a tractor trailed brakes slipped/ locked or jumped, an asbestos burning stench. Then a couple of days after the 'official sources' told everyone the air quality was fine and it was safe to go back to work.

I was watching it live on TV telling my son not to fret because our guys would come to help, we watched the whole time he was a boy of 11 scared and believing our military surely would come after hours no one came to save the day. That is when I told my children something is up. I waited for the official statement the man said what he said and left without answering questions. I am furious. My father was a retired welder from NASA and he was screaming at the TV that the whole show was bullshit, I asked why? He said I know it was blasted, he said iron cannot burn without oxygen, I did not understand, he said for it to act like that oxygen had to be on the spot where it presumably melted he screamed at the whole story till he passed away.

From my past experiences in laboratory research, structural steel analysis of tensile strength specimens in the Material Science and Civil Engineering Departments during my university tenure, and witnessing the faux collapse of building 7, I totally believe that Building7 was the victim of a controlled demolition team orchestrated by Deep State Insiders (Actors), the Mossad, and elements of our own government, to create a facade of a fake demise of Building # 7, as well as both Twin Tower #1 and Twin Tower # 2 and/or any other associated buildings in their immediate conglomeration for several reasons: the most obvious being the prohibitively expensive removal of asbestos in the aforementioned buildings, and the ruse of the narrative to start a campaign of war with Iraq under complete false pretenses.

The report put forward by the 9/11 commission contradicts the evidence that I have seen. I have seen witness testimony from police and fire fighters of 'explosions' inside the trade center which blew out windows on the first floor. Jet fuel burns at 800 degrees and steel melts at 1500 degrees. How did a fire burning at 800 degrees melt solid steel with a much higher melting point? I have heard actual recordings of military personnel indicating there were ' exercises' going on which confused the situation and the government has not answered my questions adequately. It appeared to be a cover up. The steel from the buildings was immediately loaded onto boats bound for China. When a plane crashes the scene normally last much longer. A proper investigation was NOT conducted and the American people deserve answers from an independent, non-government audit conducted by a company with no government contracts.
