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 visited NYC the weekend before the 9/11 demolitions and was lucky enough to see the Twin Towers before they disappeared from the landscape. I am fully convinced that Al Qaeda could not have been fully responsible for what happened on 9/11. I have watched 911 Blueprint for Truth and feel it is the most honest, lucid, and probable explanation for how those buildings were destroyed. I do not have any expertise in demolitions, but I understand basic physics concepts such as conservation of energy, conservation of momentum/angular momentum. There must have been additional energy imparted to those structures other than airplane impacts, burning jet fuel, and release of gravitational potential energy in order to take them down in the spectacular shock-and-awe fashion in which they were destroyed.

It is time for a truly independent investigation that addresses all the questions asked by the citizens. - - 9/11 was one of the most pivotal events in world history. Its impact will be felt for years to come. We owe it to ourselves to go beyond the sound bites and the simplified official story. This is an extremely complicated story with numerous players and motives. The 9/11 time line facts don't all make sense or fit neatly together. It's a story full of espionage, deceit, and lies. But if there are forces out there tricking us, they can only succeed if we, the general public, remain ignorant and passive.

Bazants' ludicrous 'pile-driver' theory is an abomination to the immutable laws of physics. The idea that the upper 'block' can 'one-way crush-down' the lower, stronger undamaged structure below at a constant acceleration of 2/3g is beyond ludicrous.

I am experienced in Structural Steel and Concrete detail but limited to 3 stories maximum, no high-rise work.
I read the HERA report (New Zealand) shortly after the September 11 event, and questioned the validity of the collapse so began to delve into the available information at the time. I have always felt that the attacks were a Smoke Screen for a controlled demolition that took place in broad daylight. There are too many questions that if answered honestly, would open so many cans of worms, going so far back into history, that the current and future law makers and keepers would be able to handle. The engineering of the towers does not lend itself to a free-fall type collapse without help - not just from two planes.

The official version of the event 9/11 is impossible. It is a conspiracy in itself. No matter how intense kerosene may burn steel buildings of that kind do not implode and fall in free fall speed down in it's footprints. They do not fall at all! And concerning building 7 there is no rime or reason in why it imploded end fell in it's own footprints. There is now convincing evidence that all the buildings where taken down with high tech nanoexplosives that caused the steel joints to be blown away like hot butter. It was a very Controlled Demolition. There has to be a new investigation in all these matters and the investigation has to be headed and controlled by an neutral international body of the highest status similar to the group of concerned scientists.

No film footage or sourced, non-biased evidence appears to show any any irregularity in the way these buildings were destroyed, when put into context with controlled demolitions of a similar nature. While no steel-framed building of this magnitude has ever been demolished in a controlled manner, several buildings of this scale, built with similar fire protection systems have survived much greater blazes at much greater temperatures with no collapse occurring. Building 7 in particular displays clear attributes of a controlled demolition, and was barely affected by the initial impacts subjected to buildings 1 & 2.

I do have a huge concern about how the World Trade Center high rises collapsed on 9/11/01. I also believe that the American people were decieved by the reports in the 9/11 Commission report. Obviously we are not being told the truth, and I hope that soon the American people will finally be told what really happened with those buildings that day.

My work experience is mostly in transportation however I am also an architectural technologist and i took a structural dynamics course in my final year of university among other courses in steel design, concrete design, as well as structures and dynamics courses. I did fairly well and made 100% on the final exam in structural dynamics. We examined the harmonic frequencies of structures and the aspects of structural design from various loads (live loads, dead loads etc..).
Watched the twin towers collapse on TV when it was happening and said to others later that day that it fell too fast and too neatly from just a fire or a pancake collapse. That it looked like a demolition, it went down too fast. The cross bracing of steel and the central structural core prevents this type of thing from happening. I am happy someone has finally started asking questions. I have had questions from day one, minute one. The other thing that seemed odd is how quickly the theories came out and were never questioned by anyone. As every engineer knows, you get 10 different engineers you'll get 10 different opinions. But in the case of 9/11 this was all tied up in a neat little bow right away, with everyone spewing the same mantra and the same theory. To get engineers to agree with one another that quickly is a miracle in itself. I know, I work with them everyday.

I have been following the on going public investigation of 9/11 since I saw the towers fall in my 8th grade social studies class. It took 4 years for me to get accepted into cal poly SLO for architectural engineering and by the time I did most general public conversations regarding 9/11 had dwindled. My professors think anything other than the predetermined (by a random civilian on national television moments after the collapse) structural failure is simply impossible. I think it goes to show how fearful everyone is about looking at the truth and dealing with the implications that follow.
The most simple analysis of the collapse involves a cartoon diagram which holds the top 1/4's the building on a crane. In one case the top of the building is dropped through the air. In which case it hits the floor in approximately 10 seconds. The second case has the impossible task of showing hoe the top of the building has to travel through the remaining 3/4 of the building while doing so in approximately the same time period. The physics of the case seem truly elementary.

I learned Steel building from an old Iron Worker who built buildings just like W.T.C. 7. It carried over into my own wood designs for bolt together trusses. We have load tested our trusses at 4&5 feet of wet snow and never had a failure. Now that's what we call the right stuff. You build it right and it will not fail. I know what it takes to collapse a structure of this design and preset explosives is the only thing that could bring these buildings down. Last i checked steel does not burn in molten puddles for over a month. Nano thermite, military grade mind you, does melt steel. This was an inside job. They cut out the guts and the ribs folded inward. It's not rocket science and i know a bit about that too. Follow the money.
The horror I felt watching that day is something i never want to feel again. Then the disbelief as the buildings collapsed into their own footprint. Reports of explosions in the lower sections of the structures. Parts of the buildings weighing tons being vertically ejected and embedding themselves into adjacent buildings hundreds of feet away. Bright yellow lava pouring out of the still standing structure. And, my God, the people trying to escape the smoke and heat, making the choice of burning to death or just letting go. It rips at the heart. It took months to set this up and a cast of cold blooded individuals to pull it off. But W.T.C. #7 is where they made their mistake. How long would it take to wire a building of #7's size to implode in on itself. Hmmm. Any guesses? I can bet it wasn't five hours. I've wired explosives as lead man in open pit mines. You set charges three football fields long by two wide at ten foot spacing. It takes four 2 person teams eight to ten hours to complete this task on flat open ground. This is the greatest smoke and mirrors scam ever pulled. To understand 9-11 one must go back at least six months prior to the date. Then, and only then, can the placing of the explosives be laid bare for all to see as work crews used forklift after forklift to cart the wire primers. Nano thermite painted on with chem-techs to ignite it took months to install. They ripped out those buildings guts and the heart of America as well. Let the truth see the light of day and evil will scurry for the darkness of hell. 9-11 truth now.

Building seven was obvious to me the moment I saw it fall that afternoon. As far as the towers, it took me a while to digest the fact that these were also brought down in a similar, controlled fashion. And obviously, video and other resources allowing me to learn how the buildings were constructed and view the structural drawings were the nail in the official version's casket as far as I was concerned.

How can you get a 110-story 10-second pancake collapse? Not to mention WTC Building 7 which was not hit by an airplane! The towers collapsed much too quickly and were pulverized in mid-air (no 'pancaking' took place). The 80+ stories of undamaged building -- which should have offered resistance to falling bodies -- disintegrated completely. The existence, significance, and density of the towers' cores are never addressed by the official story or so-called experts. Dozens and dozens of eyewitness testimony corroborate that the three buildings were brought down with some sort of incendiary device. We need a new 9/11 Investigation!

I am a current engineering student majoring in structural design. Will shortly be starting my masters studies of structural engineering - extreme loading (blasting, fire, earthquake etc.)
After viewing clips of evidence and making what I see as reasonable assumptions I personally believe that there is no way the collapses could have happened in such an accelerated way. Furthermore all structures are designed so that when they fail, they fail in a prolonged, extremely deformed manner. No structure will collapse suddenly unless instantaneously impacted upon by extreme loading (much more than a 100 tone aircraft)
