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.

It is blatantly obvious that all three buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. The buildings were structurally sound and there wasn't any propellant present to create enough heat to melt steel except those propellants added by the people that planted the explosive charges. The jet fuel would have burned off pretty quickly and the subsequent building fire would have been controlled by NYFD. No similar building has ever collapsed due to fire. There is also no proof that the hijacked planes were the ones that flew into the buildings.

Did some graduate work in Materials at Stanford but did not finish as I joined a more exciting effort, a start up named Starstruck formed to launch a rocket for delivering satellites into near earth orbit. Then went onto another start up, Metcal, using shape memory alloy materials in creative applications. In my third start up, Crystallume, I designed and built the first system in a garage to grow diamond from methane gas. Now I own a regular company that inspects and tests fire trucks throughout Ca & Co.
After reading everything I could find for four months on the subject to where my head was spinning, I realized that all the evidence you need to see the truth is in the 10 second video of the Bldg. 7 collapse. You don't need an engineering degree to see it.

Nowhere in academia or in practice is there evidence to support the NIST's assertion of a new phenomenon. This is a discredit to the entire Institute. Cover-up of truth, is however, not new at all, although it is enjoying an apparent resurgence in popularity. Why can't we get a serious and independent (non-government) investigation of this phenomenon?

I did a much simplified finite element analysis of the 9-11 structures (twins and Solomon) using ANSYS w/the autodyn plug in. The speed of the falls and the downward force impulses that would have been created by the plane damage made many at UTA suspicious of the 9-11 investigation report. It is my opinion that a more complete and thorough FEA survey than the one I performed will help erode the credibility of the 9-11 report of record, and provide political pressure to bring those responsible for the 9-11 murders to trial. I am willing to volunteer time in working toward this goal, if anyone is interested and has access to FEA software, please contact me at cattleprods [at] hotmail.com and I will donate time to further this cause.

If one chooses to significantly study all of the evidence and to think critically on the same, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the official story of 9/11 put forth, in its entirety simply cannot be true from any perspective. It is an impossibility. Additionally, there is overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness statements, photographic and videographic records, timelines, scientific and engineering data, irrefutable laws of physics, and the like which directly and unequivocally refute the official story of 9/11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 ' 1860) There will come a day when our children & grandchildren will look us in the eyes and ask us what we did and what action we took when we learned of the truth of 9/11 . . . 'He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.' - Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 ' 1968)

I'm not a structural engineer, but I know enough to know that we're not getting the whole story here. The way that the buildings collapsed certainly looked like a controlled demolition. How is it that the buildings fell at free-fall acceleration and straight down, doing virtually no damage to any surrounding buildings (especially building 7, which wasn't even hit by anything)?

My firm, Andrassy Engineering, Ltd., and I have been engaged primarily in the design of erosion control structures on the Lake Erie shoreline for the last 14 years. Prior to that I worked in private and government positions, also in the coastal engineering field on the east and west coasts from 1987-1993. I have B.S. and M.E. degrees in Civil Engineering. I am a registered P.E. in OH, PA, and MI.
I am not a structural engineer by training or practice, nor does my practice concern the design of structural steel buildings. Nevertheless, having basic civil engineering coursework experience (steel and r/c design, etc..) and some structural framing design experience I have harbored deep doubts about the government's explanation for these collapses since the morning of 9/11. I recall expressing then how the buildings would remain intact, even given the severe damage they had experienced, never considering that the damage inflicted could cause collapse. There is power in numbers and there is further power in the prestige and integrity of the numerous engineers, architects, and scientists who have come forward and who may yet come forward to challenge the government's explanations or lack thereof. I suggest that there are powerful computer modeling and physical testing tools that are likely being employed and may yet be employed in concert with the photographic, video, and forensic evidence to investigate how these towers collapsed, political motivations aside. I believe it is very important that these questions be addressed and support efforts to do so and thank all those who have come forward and put much time and energy into the numerous and vigorous research efforts that have already been conducted.

I have worked on many high power broadcast antennas and I'm very familiar with the structural aspects of which they are mounted. The company I work for provided an emergency replacement for the CH 11 antenna which went down that was on top of the World Trade Center. Even the way that the antenna fell almost completely vertically, suggests a controlled demolition.
I have been looking into the evidence provided. I truly believe that there is absolutely no way that these buildings could have collapsed the way that they did without controlled demolition. If we can get the American people and the world to realize this, then maybe we can hold those responsible accountable.

Never heard about building 7 till now. This is definitely a demolition job. I've taken static class, which is for mechanical engineers to understand how structures are supported in college, and from what I see in the video of that building coming down so synchronously, this must have been a controlled demolition.

45 deg angle cuts seen on columns (with firefighters walking around) were NOT made by oxy fuel or plasma arc torches (the common cutting methods for field cutting of structural steel). By conservation of linear momentum analysis, it is impossible for the WTC buildings to have fallen as quickly as they did. Minimum time to fall for towers, about 20 seconds, without credit for ANY structural strength in building. When considering the structural strength of the building, the collapse self arrests after 6 - 8 floors.

It is painfully obvious to me... to anyone that has taken the time for personal investigation, that 9/11 is a government cover-up. A mass murder. For money, and political advantage. I am formulating a series of my own questions and concerns, and am in early stages of doing what I can for the cause. It is our collective efforts that will reveal the truth. If we as a nation cannot get to the bottom of this, we have failed as human beings, and will likely suffer a similar fate as the victims of 9/11. As the saying goes, The truth is out there, Let's find it!

I have been a welder for more than 10 years. I have taken special course for structural welding.
Low carbon steel used in construction of steel buildings bends under pressure. It does not break. Also the beams used in buildings are larger and stronger at the lower floors, it means that the fall of Building 7 must have been slowed down as each falling floor hits a lower floor.

There is no doubt explosives were used. There are no doubts about it there was a cover-up to prevent evidence being gathered about the reason those buildings were brought down were irresponsible investigators to have such a bogus fraudulent report intended to put blame away from those in our government who were responsible and the military industrial complex , the oil cartels ,and new Nazi style government entities for control over people and removing rights to liberty .The Taliban gained nothing follow the money and at the end of that trail are the ones responsible for the collapses..

I have been a political prisoner and seen the aftermath of September 11, 2001 and the police stating that continues to get worse because of the effects of fear over our country. The forensic evidence is overwhelming to say the least concerning the events of 9/11 the barrage of information is more than just theory it is in fact truth. The Buildings were professionally demolished by other explosive means than what is said in the Commission report.

Work in a refinery for 25yrs. and steel will not melt from gas from planes. Steel has to get to a temperature of 2300 to 2400 degrees before it will melt. Jet fuel will only get to 900 to 1000 degrees, not hot enough to melt steel.
It was an inside job. There is no way it was brought down by a plane. It was a controlled demolition by the people that were leasing the building and some of the people in the White House. They new what was going to happen, that is why they were not there. Like the governor of New York. Why was he and all the other people in building 7,because they knew about what was going to happen.

I work with metal, specifically steel, every single day at work. I work with temperatures of over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and I have first hand experience and understanding of the properties and changes in steel as it is heated to and brought down from these temperatures. I don't claim to know a thing about building construction or architecture, but I know at what temperatures hydrocarbons burn, and I know steel, and something just doesn't add up with the official story. I personally believe explosives HAD to have been used to achieve such a quick, complete, and unimpeded collapse of the WTC buildings.

I am a welder, and I melt metal together for a living... the moment the first tower fell I knew that whatever made it collapse had to be hotter than jet fuel, the jet fuel would have had to burn at over 1500c to melt structural steel... and the fires inside the south tower were dieing... you could tell by how much black smoke that was coming out of it. I may not be an engineer but I know metal and there is no way in hell that that jet fuel was hot enough to melt steel.

From personal observation of explosive demolitions, the footage of the building collapses could be used as educational tools of the correct way to accomplish bringing down a building in the most effective way possible. An airliner crashing into a building absolutely could not achieve this result.

My skills are centered in various skilled trades that include: master electrician, welder, machinist, A&P mechanic, master hvac, plumber, carpenter. I have both theoretical and practical knowledge of structural design, mechanical design, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics. Some might consider them hobbies but I have a lifetime of employment history utilizing these skills.
It is my opinion that based on the visual evidence available from multiple angles that there are far too many anomalies to accept the conclusions drawn by the NIST report. The visual evidence suggests controlled demolition and not a structural failure caused by the impact of airliners. As an experienced welder/machinist I have a reasonable grasp of the physical properties of structural steel including its conductive properties. No reasonable explanation has ever been offered to explain the pyroclastic bloom that blanketed much of lower Manhattan. My opinion is that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. The Twin Towers exhibited near vaporization of concrete, glass and the ejection of steel at velocities impossible to have been caused by compression failure.

I have worked in the construction business doing residential and light commercial concrete form work. I have also spent over 21 years in the heavy equipment business as a welder/fabricator/machinist, as well as working as an industrial education instructor.
Evidence of explosives found in the rubble and the lack of structural resistance (free fall) during the buildings collapse are suspect to the explanation of why the 3 buildings came down. Molten steel pouring out of one of the Towers before collapse, with no scientific reason for the steel to melt. Aviation fuel and office furniture can't produce the required heat. Unilateral systematic sequenced structural failure, attributed to randomly placed areas of stress (fire and structural damage). It does not add up.

After joining Air Canada in May 1987 as a YYZ Ramp Station Attendant I discovered that local management and the executive of my I.A.M.A.W. had a policy in place to jointly make miserable the life of any employee and/or member they chose. After four and one-half years of misery I formally complained to the only person whom I thought I could trust because he was a member of The Order of Canada, Mr. Claude I. Taylor, O.St.J., O.C., and days later I was phoned at home, told not to wear my uniform to work, told not to punch-in and to go straight to the office of the YYZ GM. I was removed from company property, held incommunicado for just four (4) hours, told to sign a sheet of paper or I would be fired. On Dec 02/92 I sent a registered letter to Air Canada's Board of Directors and the ensuing resignation of Mr. Taylor, per the front page of The Financial Post of Dec 11/92 puzzled industry analysts. After a plethora of wrongful dismissals and undue evictions I have, as of today, now been homeless for some sixty-six (66) days stemming from my first undue or any arrest. Signed, Gary David Brown, Station Attendant Emeritus Toronto, ON January 17, 2013
I am looking for answers too. How did building seven, I believe it was, or the last building that fell, fall WITHOUT any aircraft hitting it? Could a bunch of people essentially or actually living in caves on the other side of the planet actually something like 9/11? What is Thermalite?

I'm not a engineer, but I've seen enough campfires to know how things fall in a fire. I am a certified welder and know that metal can withstand temperatures over 2000*. I've seen enough implosions to recognize one when I see one

3 inch thick steel girders and I-beams would take 3 times the amount of time to heat up long enough to get them to temperatures to warp or bend than the amount of time and fuel was allowed to burn and still would have not caused the whole structure to be comprised.

Associate of Science degree 1967 - - Forty five years experience in the design, detailing, fabrication and erection of steel structures.
The damage sustained by Building 7 due its proximity to the Twin Towers could not have caused the collapse of the structure. - - No steel structure of similar size anywhere in the world has ever collapsed due to fire. - - The way it collapsed and the speed with which it did so has only been witnessed in a controlled demolition. - - The explanations offered by NIST are so flawed to make them worthless as to why the collapse occurred. They reek of deflection and coverup.

In my past experience, I have never seen steel behave in the ways that NIST suggest and would like to see them demonstrate some of these behaviors.
