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 attended community college in the late 90's and majored in physics and mathematics. I transferred to university but never completed my bachelor's degree. I am very well educated about the fundamentals of physics, although not engineering, and I certainly feel that I have the expertise to conclude that there are more falsehoods than truths in the 9/11 Commission Report.
Every element of a controlled demolition that should be present was on 9/11. The fire based collapse conjecture does not adequately account for the amount of dust, the molten metal, the free fall rate of collapse, etc. Occam's razor dictates that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Controlled demolition accounts for the entire event. The fire based collapse requires a string of highly unlikely coincidences to be feasible. And, of course, 9/11 was the perfect event to justify two seemingly endless wars that are reaping *massive* profits for a select few defense contractors. All logic points to the unimaginable conclusion that those charged with protecting us were at the very least complicit in the terrorist attack in history.

I do not believe that the towers and WTC 7 could have collapsed in such a uniform manner, given the temperatures at which the jet fuel burned and the duration of time that had elapsed before they collapsed. Also, the presence of thermite in samples of building materials has not been fully investigated and resolved.

The 11 September 2001 atrocities in the US were the impetus for the disastrous 'War on Terror', still causing catastrophe for the US and many other states and peoples around the world. Getting out the truth about the atrocities, to general acceptance, will have a strong effect towards halting the War on Terror. It seemed to me apparent to the eye, from the first, that the official conspiracy story could not explain the nature of the collapse of the 3 WTC buildings. They were so self-evidently controlled demolitions that I began at once to be a sceptic, and have followed the development of the truth movement ever since.

I have a Bachelor of Engineering from Stony Brook University 1981. I have an MSEE from Stanford University 1982. I have a Concentration in Systems Engineering. I have studied statics and dynamics, as well as Structural Theory. I am very familiar with the work of Dr. Fazlur Kahn. I am also very familiar with the work of Minoru Yamasaki, including his penchant for safety and over-design as well of his use of Vierendeel Truss technology. I have studied modern structural systems from the 1930's designs of NYC's Great Towers to the WTC, to the Hancock and Willis Towers, to modern Tube-In-Tube and Bundled Tube consruction systems, and all other major modern super-tall structures among which are the Petronas Towers, The Jin Mao Tower, Taipei 101 and of course the Burj Kalifa. I have studied the drawings of WTC ONE and WTC TWO. I have also studied the consruction technology of very large suspension bridges, the technology of Gravity and Arch Dams and much, much more. I have an intimate knowledge of highly advanced Mathematics. I also have a 99.994 percentile IQ.
From the very first time that I viewed the Video of the collapse of the South Tower I just knew that something was very, very wrong. I saw exploding dust in all directions, yet no images of the tower itself, nor it's floor by floor collapse. I immediately purchased the FEMA Building Performace Study, the 9/11 Commission Report and finally the NIST Study. My initial concerns were twofold, first there was not enough potential energy to collapse any more than 5 to ten stories due to gravity loading, and second the fires were not of any length of time nor hot enough to weaken the structural steel to a level of plasticity. I immediately started to research every document that I could find. And I learned more and more. In addition, the collapse of Tower 7 some seven hours later was indisputably due to controlled demolition. All of my research led me to the conclusion that the official explanation was totally incorrect.

At 1.8 million square feet, WTC 7 was possibly larger than any building on the West Coast. Bank of America (1.4 million sf) and the Transamerica Pyramid (.5 million sf), the two highest buildings in San Francisco, are together only slightly greater in area. Few Americans know that WTC 7 collapsed, even fewer know how big it was. I have read that its collapse was shown only one time on television; in its documentaries about the WTC collapse, PBS not only didn't explain the collapse of WTC7 but never even mentioned the collapse of a third building, because doing so would have undermined their conclusion that planes and jet fuel were responsible for the collapses. Much evidence exists of explosions throughout the WTC buildings. Persistent pools of 2000 degree metal can only be explained by the presence of thermite/thermate, used in planned demolitions. Squibs, puffs of smoke characteristic of planned demolitions, can be clearly seen in advance of the collapses. The official story does not explain the collapse of WTC7 or the collapse of the cores of WTC 1 and 2. YouTube videos of a BBC reporter announcing the collapse of WTC7 just prior to its actual collapse is convincing proof that the authorities had advance knowledge of its imminent collapse. There is just one explanation for the evidence associated with these collapses: demolition by expertly planned and placed explosives.

Experienced in high rise, mid rise, industrial, hospitality, and hospital type projects in design and construction.
I was working on the core-and-shell retrofit of the landmark Bank of New York building at 48 Wall Street the morning of 9/11/2001. After being notified that the WTC north tower was on fire, I paused a project meeting for a 15 minute break. We never got back to it. I personally stood at the corner of Liberty Park, which is across from WTC Borders Book Store when the second plane hit. The things that went on over the next few days I have always wondered about and questioned in my mind. On day three, I was called back for the disconnect of 48 Wall St. from the power grid. This was necessary, as the electric company would be attempting to power up downtown and did not want to electrically blow out any buildings on power up. How amazing it was to witness; truly an incredible effort to re-set a temporary power grid above ground over all of the lower downtown area in such a short time. Especially, which I did not know at the time, the main power feeds were completely severed from the collapse. The quantity of heavy cabling required on site so quickly and laid out on the street surfaces - alone an incredibly coordinated task - add to it all the volcanic ash type dusting, vehicles all over the areas and war zone type images. Now in retrospect, the coordinated removal of the debris began immediately. The firm I was with had assigned one or two engineers to assist on dismantling design and sketching. They along with one of the firms huge cranes were removed shortly after. From my first basic structural classes, I was told that the biggest danger to a steel structure that was exposed to high heat was that the affected or exposed steel would eventually lose its integrity and become rubbery - stressed past its modulus of elasticity. In witnessing the second plane hit the south/east corner of the south tower, and assuming that the heat was intense enough - long enough, the tower would have failed at and around impact height. In my opinion, it should have looked like a wrecked car that had been broadsided. The building would have been compromised from that corner and up and diagonally. To the extent that adjacent structural bays away from impact or heat areas would have reacted from the new imposed lateral and vertical stresses, I cannot speculate, I would only say that it would have been slow. That's all for now . . . My prayers to all those firemen (many just boys, it seemed), whose faces I looked at as they got out of their cars and pick-ups and were suiting up in fire equipment. The faces of disbelief as they walked the block or two towards WTC. These are but a few images I will never forget.

The Laws of Physics and gravity indicate the collapses of the three WTC towers appear to be caused by controlled demolition and not due to the impact of two aircraft. The buildings fell too fast to indicate the resistance to downward momentum from successive failures of the floor structure. The buildings fell very much straight down and were completely pulverized as if they were destroyed by controlled demolition. There is no other reasonable explanation given for the collapse of WTC7.

The near free-fall collapse of these buildings, especially the office building that showed very limited damage before its collapse in its own footprint in the late afternoon, raises great questions. This is especially so, as NO OTHER TOWER anywhere in the world, except these 3, has suffered a collapse attributed solely to fire.

There are many scientific facts that disprove the ``official`` story. However I cling to one basic fact as the clincher. How did all that concrete turn to powder? The power of gravity is strong....but not strong enough to turn concrete to powder. There must have been another source of energy. The energy resulting from the impact of the aircraft and the ensuing fire is insignificant.

I'm only on my second semester in college and plan to transfer to a university more suitable for architecture. My current plans involve receiving education in architecture and a useful amount of education in structural engineering to accomplish my dreams of designing skyscrapers.
It is quite clear that the buildings were taken down by demolition. Everything from the evidence of sampling from the WTC dust containing thermate microspheres to the clear violations of physics that day make it clear that there IS fowl play involved in which the public is not aware of. The government is obviously involved due to the obvious cover ups and misinformation involving NIST. One doesn't need to hold a conspiracy theory regarding who or what truly destroyed the WTC buildings, all they need to do is examine tech facts and call for a new investigation. Its time to stand up for the truth!

I couldn't believe that very heavy constructed building with heavy steel columns can just evaporate reinforced steel beams, trusses, columns can evaporate below the 15 top floors as a result of Airplane hit if you try this 100 times never will get to collapse building. What i believe that controlled demolition been planned well and with very new special kind of explosives can evaporate steel with maybe 4000C or more implanted in every floor that need 6 months to do. It is not a terrorist to do that!!

Molten metal was one of the most suspicious elements to 9-11, the only thing that helps melt steel is sulphur. This probably came in the form of rope charges set to make the main beams fail. Another element is Marvin Bush's security company was in charge at the Dulles airport and at the World Trade Center up until the day before theCollapses. Three buildings in one day in the same general area falling into their own footprints is statistically impossible. Men from caves learning to fly and defeating the US?

My experience includes 3 years of design & dwg production of steel-reinforced concrete bridge & retaining wall structures.
When the 1st building fell, I was immediately struck by how 'ordered' and 'neat' the collapse looked. In fact it appeared to fall with guided precision which led me to only my 2nd thought that morning which was that other building is coming down too. I was horrified but not surprised when the 2nd building collapsed identically to the first. I have since researched these two collapses and have discovered many others who questioned the 9/11 Commissions assertion that 'thermal expansion' and jet fuel caused the collapses. A burning question in my mind has been how the 9/11 Commission could overlook what happened to Building 7 and how NIST could simply apply the newly inked 'thermal expansion' rubber-stamp explanation to IT also. I was also extremely concerned about the NASA overhead photos which showed extremely hot pockets of debris under WTC 1 & 2

I have completed 5 years of higher education. Including classes in steel structures, codes, and structural engineering.
I turned against the official report when I learned, as a student, that the 3 buildings that collapsed on 9/11 (buildings 1,2 AND 7, which happened to house both CIA and FBI offices) were the only 3 steel structures in the history that officially collapsed due to fire. I especially raise an eyebrow to Building 7 which was not even struck by an airplane. Also the manner in which the buildings collapsed, perfectly inward on themselves I believe was a red flag and the need for an independent investigation is necessary for the truth to be revealed.

It seems incredible to me that the method of collapse seemed to bear no relationship to how or where it was damaged by the plane impacts and resultant fire damage. Instead what I observed was classic controlled demolition.

I graduated Cum Laude with an Associate's in Mechanical Engineering from Cincinnati Technical College in 1984, and worked as sub-contract designer for various companies. Those involving structural steel design were Buschman Conveyor, Aircon Industries, Tri-Manufacturing and Formica. Performed calculations involving load requirements of structural members as well as deflection calculations due to loading of beams. I am very familiar with deformation and melting temperatures of many materials including aluminum, cast iron, and various types of steels.
Early on, after the 9/11 incident, I was very curious about many of the events that happened during the 9/11 attack and shortly after. It boggled my mind that there was nothing identifiable at the location of the site, such as telephones, desks, or any real chunks of concrete. It also boggled my mind how quickly all the steel found was quickly sent to another country to quickly be forgotten about. Nothing about much of what happened seemed to make any sense with what was reported.

Sufficient technical and architectural questions regarding buildings' collapse have risen to make quite reasonable of the need to do a thorough, objective and accurate analysis to either verify or disprove what has been presented by the mainstream media.

WTC twin towers and Bldg 7 - the way these buldings collapsed -symetrical- does not correlate to the forces induced by the planes impact .. in this case localized failure should have occured first at the level of the impacts before the the whole buildings collapsed .. in my opinion other causes colaborated to cause this tragic event.

The structure of the lower levels of a high-rise building is calculated to bear the vertical loads of all the floors above, as well as the bending moments caused by wind loads. It is impossible that these massive structures collapse at nearly free-fall speed as a result of the collapse of a number of floors near the top of these towers. Since the nature of the collapse is in contradiction with the NIST report, an independent investigation is needed.

I have eight years experience in the building and construction industry within Sydney, Australia's, CBD.
Ever since 2001 I've been fascinated by the events of 9/11. At first I was shocked (as the whole world was) but as I started to dig deeper, something just didn't add up, particularly with regard to Building 7. I'm curious to find out why that building went down. That curiosity has led me here.

Especially in light of Rudolph Giuliani's politics and all that came out of 9/11 (Wars, surveillance, TSA, ICE, etc.) We MUST look closely at this. When ASCE supported the NIST report, I lost all faith & honor in my profession! I KNEW that towers were demolished on the morning of 9/11 just by observation. I didn't learn of Bldg 7 for about 2 years - but when I did, it was a mushroom cloud of smoking gun!
