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.

Due to many different facts I doubt the official explanation on the cause of the collapses of WTC building 1, 2 and 7. AE911truth.org listed a lot of undeniable facts based upon structural and physical principles, that are in conflict with the official explanations of public authorities and politicians. Some of these facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that there are not more voices in the world who express their unbelief.

1994-1998: Fulltime student of Southern Polytechnic State University. 2001: Obtained BSCET from Southern Polytechnic State University. I have worked within multiple disciplines of civil engineering - surveying, roadway design, materials testing, infrastructure design and most recently steel detailing.
In the shocking moments of the collapse, my first reaction to the building failure was that there was no way 2 separate steel buildings struck by a plane could possibly come straight down completely pulverized and then a third building nearly unscathed suffer an identical failure. I feel that the media effectively force-fed the population a misconstrued version of the story. With all the horror and fear and confirmation from experts and eventually war, even I began to replace my initial reaction and knowledge with the thought that stranger things have happened even in the world of engineering. But more so; what would the horrible truth implicate and how would a nation react? Let us not forget that even the Pentagon damage raises questions. Nonetheless; as a member of the engineering society whose duty is to the safety of the public, I believe that too many people have died and too many provocative questions have been dismissed for us to ignore the need for a genuine investigated.

The building collapses have obviously not been correctly explained. Elements of the collapses that raise doubt on official story: Observed explosions in buildings 1 and 2 prior to collapse, speed by which large sections of steel were hurled horizontally out from collapsing buildings 1 and 2, fall times close to that of a free fall, very little fire observed in building 7 before collapse.

I am a pacifist and have been for over thirty years, not to say that i don't get angry, just that anger does not have to lead to violence. Anger is a healthy emotion, violence is a conscious decision
Since the first live transmission i have questioned the reports that were being disseminated and in my own efforts i have attempted to share as much information as i can with as many individuals as i can. The particular report that triggered alarm bells was the BBC reporting of the second plane crashing into the tower. I was watching a live transmission of BBC World in New Zealand and remember the very minute they broke into the regular broadcast with the incident of the first tower in New York. There was no doubt some confusion in the news rooms and i expected some uncertain details in the reports. I did not expect the complete absence of normal production standards, especially in a global newsroom The announcer was doing the talking head thing as the live transmission was broadcast behind her. the first tower was burning with a heavy dark smoke and the choppers where buzzing around looking for clues as to what had happened. Then the second plane entered shot and exploded as it penetrated the face of the second tower. i waited for the announcer to say something. The announcer waffled on repeating adnauseum the only thing they knew 'something has hit one of the towers at the World trade Center' nothing about the second building being hit. I waited. I waited a full four to five minutes before the words i will never forget we are getting reports that something may have happened to the second tower I always remember thinking the world witnessed that detail about five minutes ago so how come the announcer was not told what had been broadcast live on a screen behind her. This troubled me and was not raised as an issue until later in the day with the Building 7 fiasco where BBC World reported the collapse of a 47 story building twenty odd minutes before it happened. From that day i have been a Truther. I have limited resources but used creatively, i am finding numerous ways to bring questions to people, and answers to questions.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

Where is the technical information on the failure modes of the core column supports? How frequently did they buckle along their length? Where is the photographic evidence to prove it? Did they ever re-assemble one column? Were there breaks in the columns, and if so, how many, where, and where are the pictures? Was the entire site, the largest crime scene in American history, photographed in detail as it lay after the dust settled? Why does the upper section of the building crumble as it falls?

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 9/11 Commission was run by politicians, not Engineers or anyone with an analytical background. The official story that was released leaves too many questions begging for answers. I believe that an independent investigation is more than warranted in order to bring closure to this tragic event.

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.

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.
