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.

Russell Walsmith

Occupation: Fractal Artist
In my former life as an obsessive/compulsive banjo picker, I worked at different jobs to support my music habit, including a few stints in the construction trades. As a union carpenter, I worked on various state-of-the-art steel and concrete structures, including two high rises. Tn the course of gaining this experience, I've seen these materials subjected to diverse stresses and I have an understanding of the energy required to reduce cured concrete to powder and to deform and/or cut steel beams.
Have you ever seen someone break up, say, a section of sidewalk with a sledge hammer? Note that the hammer has a metal head. What would happen if we were instead to affix a piece of the sidewalk itself onto a long handle and use it to try to bust up a bigger section? Common sense and Newton's third law of motion both tell us that this kind of hammer head would itself shatter in the process, and long before the task could be completed. By this basic logic we can see at once that NIST's explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers is a silly canard. The notion that a small section of a high rise can, in two cases, fall upon the much larger, sturdier sections below and so thoroughly destroy them is a fantasy. That's my argument against NIST's theory: The kinetic energy of the small sections is insufficient to wreak the kind of damage observed. Based on the active thermitic residues that are pervasive in the dust of the towers, logic promotes explosives as the strongest candidate for squaring up the huge deficit in the energy accounts.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila, Philippines. Before moving to the US I was a licensed civil and structural engineer in the Philippines and I designed high rise buildings.
WTC-7 was brought down by carefully planned demolition. High rise buildings do not fall symmetrically without disabling all the columns all at the same time. You do not have to be an engineer or architect to build a sample prototype structure made of sticks and cartons to show that a symmetrical fall will not occur if all the columns are not removed at the same time. This was a carefully planned demolition and would have taken months ahead to implement.

I am grateful for the work of Andreas von Buelow and his exposing book about 9-11, titled : Die CIA und der 11. September, written in German only. His connections to the secrete services of the world as a German former minister makes this a great tool to understand what really happened on 9-11. He states clearly how the buildings where fitted with explosives and the guard dogs removed so they could not alarm about the planting of explosives.

I currently build new stores, remodel & expand existing stores, and build fuel facilities for The Kroger Company.
As a civil engineering student at West Point on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, I marveled at the explanation that jet fuel could melt through structural steel, how the buildings could collapse straight down at near free-fall speeds through the path of greatest resistance, and how many witnesses reported hearing explosions. After further research and hearing the commentary of fellow professionals, I could not concur with the official explanation offered by the government & the 9/11 Commission.

Inventor, designer, and owner of manufacturing business. My company processes 250 to 300 tons of steel and other materials annually into manufactured products, mainly for the agriculture industry. My company utilizes a variety of materials processing technologies including: laser cutting, plasma cutting, shearing, machining, welding, and heavy pressing in the thousands of tons. The steel structural materials, of which the world trade center buildings were made, are very similar to the materials we process. Age 61, 35 years experience.
Popular explanations of the collapse of the world trade center buildings seem to ignore the structural roll of columns. The public television production, Nova entirely left out the core columns of the building in their animation of the collapse, focusing our attention on floor pancaking, as though the floors are the structure that support the building. Even a slight understanding of how much force it would take to telescope the columns of these buildings all the way to ground level and beyond, makes the official explanation laughable. The same is true of the heat generated by an oxygen starved fire in weakening the high strength structural steel to the point collapse. Only explosives could have reduced these three buildings to their own footprint in so short a time. We are witnesses of this crime; it was done in broad daylight and many of us saw it on live TV; yet, most of us still don't know what we saw.

It became quite clear as I watched the destruction of the Twin Towers that there was some kind of incendiary device that was in play in one of the corners of the towers. This was obvious by the way there were hot metal sparks indicating the cutting of metal as they flowed off of the corner of the building. These sparks had the obvious look of a metal beam of some kind, whether an I-beam or a truss, that was being cut behind the mangled area; but it was something steel, as could be recognized by the weight of the metal sparks flowing directly in a downward direction. There was also an indication of the flow of hot molten metal within this flow of sparks that I recognized by the color of the flow of metal - being bright yellow orange and indicating steel, not aluminum which flows in a flat grayish orange glow. I make this observation as a former welder that worked in the industry, and it looked almost exactly like an oxygen acetylene torch cutting through thick high grade construction steel. Whatever the device that was used, it was hot enough to melt and cut through steel, and the flow lasted a good couple of minutes as the cameras focused in on that corner and kept coming back to those sparks flowing off the building. From my experience it had to be something hot enough, like a metal worker's torch, in order to create that kind of spark and the obvious flow of molten metal in a shower of sparks off the corner of the tower.

In my experience, both professionally and in acedemia, I have learn that buildings do not collapse as the WTC and Building 7 did by being hit by airplanes. In my structural engineering class at Lafayette College, my professor Kurtz gave a whole set of lectures about how buildings are demolished. Based on my education in his class I understand that there is much more to the story of WTC deconstructions than has been shared, and I would like to hear and read more about what the facts are. What actually occurred? What were the main events and motives behind and underlying it?

The only destructive model which makes complete engineering sense from a physics point of view for the utter and complete collapse of the WTC twin towers within the witnessed time frame is that which has, first, the foundational structure of both twin towers explosively corrupted to the point of collapse and second, the subsequent explosive collapse of floors above that same foundation in a timed sequence. There is no other explanation outside this explosive model which can duplicate the utter destruction of these buildings in such a manner. Likewise, the yet unexplained and sudden collapse of WTC 7 floor by floor within seconds of time. Thousands of professionals (firefighters, rescuers, police, others...) have testified that, while attempting rescues within those buildings at the time, loud explosions were heard within the buildings. There are a considerable number of professionals on the scene who have testified to explosions going on while they were attempting rescue within, the twin towers. The cumulative and amassed evidence from multiples of professional investigators, the eye-witness accounts of the same, the professional investigations of the scenes the same, the plethora of civilian accounts of the same ...and the physics/mechanics of the implausible yet ultimately sudden collapse of the affected buildings within the time frame prove beyond a shadow of a doubt all these buildings were purposefully destroyed. The agents of destruction have already been privately identified; they are not the publicly acceptable ones. Our US and world public, and I count myself among them, have never been apprised of the collaborators' true identity, but are largely and globally suspected to be within our own government and their collective global agents.

I have no eye whiteness account other than what was shown on T.V. News footage as well as internet compilation videos. Only a person of very low intelligence could believe that the Twin towers were turned to dust shortly after impact and collapsed at a free fall rate of speed. Not to mention bldg. 7, which was never struck by anything? The debris shown to us at the pentagon was at minimum highly suspect as the parts/wreckage shown did not match the official count of the event. At a minimum these events combined show an act of high treason and murder!

The report from the NIST investigation does not put forward an hypothesis for the collapse of any of the 3 World Trade Center towers that adequately explains the available video evidence coupled with the structural data on the building. On the evening of September 11, 2001 after watching CNN all day, several of us checked out books from the Engineering library at MIT on the structural design and engineering of WTC towers 1 and 2 in the hopes of being able to figure out how those buildings collapsed in the manner that they did, but we were ultimately unable to reconcile what we observed on television with any hypothesis based on the impact of the aircraft and subsequent fires. It was my hope that eventually an investigation into the collapse would provide such an explanation, but to date no tenable hypotheses have been offered by any of the government reports on 9/11.

Conducted my degree thesis on the failure of welded fabrications in mining roof supports using a photo-elastic analysis technique. Since leaving the engineering industry I have worked as a school teacher and currently as a director of a marketing company.
The video and supporting information on the AE911truth website indicates that, beyond any reasonable doubt in my mind, there is something 'not right' about the official account of events concerning 911 and the subsequent failures of the three WTC buildings. The truth - leaving no stone unturned is all I would expect the people of the great nation of the USA to demand. I feel the omissions in the official reports submitted are scandalous, especially with all the associated loss of life. Having said that, due consideration should be given to the stressful and emotive nature of the events and the way this could have undermined the integrity/clarity of thought of the investigators. Now is the correct and appropriate time to re-open this case and do a proper and professional job, addressing the major points brought out in AE911truth would be an excellent start to this and allow everyone to move forward with the knowledge that all that can be done to prevent an event of this nature happening again in future. As pure engineers it is not for us to judge why this happened but rather analyse the technical facts accurately and objectively then make appropriate conclusions, being in a privileged position to be able to process the facts we have duty to do no less.

I am utterly astonished that anyone believes even one sentence of the official fairytale. There is no WAY that a steel building can collapse. From the clear images of sequenced explosives detonating down the buildings to the mangled, melted steel and dust/ash left behind to the cut columns to Building 7, every aspect of this screams demolition. You don't need to be an engineer to understand this, buildings do NOT collapse. Impossible!

Involved in the optical, structural, and mechanical design and analysis of optical systems ranging from astronomical telescopes to aerospace imaging sensors. Have also worked with civil engineers to develop several patented steel frame I-Beam connection designs with less stress concentrations and more ability to resist earthquake loads. This required many nonlinear finite element analyses.
After the earthquake in Northridge CA, I traveled with a group of civil engineers to that city to inspect a steel frame building that was heavily damaged by the earthquake. What we saw were a large number of broken welds due to brittle weld failure. Yet the building was still standing several months later. When I saw 9/11 happen, I could only think of how those small fires could have reduced the weld brittleness and thus reduced the likelyhood of a brittle failure like those I saw in Northridge. I knew from day one something was fishy.

The statement is quite simple: 1) Wildly conflicting video accounts of this event were broadcast. This includes plane approaches through the smoke, under the smoke, opposite the smoke, and even one with no plane at all. 2) The 9/11 Commission investigation was underfunded, politically kneecapped, and completely insufficient. 3) I have, therefore, decided to form absolutely no opinion regarding 9/11 events, because, clearly, we have not had access to any reliable, real data. And that is a simple, provable transgression by both the government and the media, if indeed those are two different entities anymore. Keep up the good work. I certainly appreciate it, but we have to attack this issue from a very fundamental, logical viewpoint at this time. Let's start with what we know.

From the time of the event, I have questioned the collapse WTC-7 and its relationship to WTC-1 & -2. Having witnessed several intentional demolitions of major structures, the similarity to the three WTC buildings coming down was striking. At the time, I recall the TV reporting by BBC and other networks saying the WTC-7 structure had fallen when it had not, and then captured on video falling 20+ minutes later which conveys the message the event was planned and reported via a news release from a source yet unidentified, to me. Also, the lateral explosive bursts coming from the descending floors of WTC-1 & -2 are most suspicious as I understand the structures were designed to withstand an impact by a Boeing 707 aircraft. I suspect WTC-7 was the staging center for the persons involved with setting the explosive charges.

I went to school for aerospace engineering at Pomona Calpoly. I've felt that we were being lied to from day one. It's not just one piece of evidence that made me believe it was a whole pile. Some thing needs to be done.
From the very first day I saw the buildings collapse I knew there was something wrong. So I've been involved from day one.

It seems further research is warranted since this is the first time a plane has caused the collapse of a steel framed building. Maybe we could learn more about the construction and failure if we were allowed access to more information.
