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.

B Arch from Texas Tech University 1979. I'm a commercial architect working on a wide range of project types including hi-rise, medical, educational, industrial, and retail. These projects' budgets go up to $300M.
The collapse of building 7 cannot be explained by office (furnishings) fire. The anatomy of the collapse cannot be explained by a single column failure at one end of the building. Additionally, the evidence of thermite, dismissed by the official reports without testing, demands that further investigation be conducted. Obviously, if building 7 came down as the result of planned demolition then grave questions about our government are raised.

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 graduated in December, 1987 with the highest GPA in the Electrical Engineering class at WMU after testing out of one curriculum class by waiver exam and another two by private examination by the professor (based on things I taught myself before enrolling) in return for lectures I gave to his classes on specific topics. I was always a natural at science and physics in high school, winning blue ribbons in the science fairs every year.
I knew the day the twin towers collapsed, while watching the event on TV, that they did not collapse as a result of impact and fires from the planes. Too many laws of physics were violated for that to have happened.

It is an engineering certainty that the buildings could not have collapsed from fire. Why haven't any, to my knowledge, of the engineering or science departments of any university acknowledged this fact? - - - - It is probably because they are concerned that they would lose their endowments. I have personally posed this question to IIT but have not received a response. Direct questions from A & E to the engineering schools, if not already made, seem to be in order.

I was shocked to learn that Bldg.7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Investigation Report, as it is in my mind the key event in questioning all of the happenings on 9/11. But when few people even know that the building existed, it is difficult to discuss with them what happened to it and how it relates to the overall picture.

I was fooled for almost a year, due to, in the most part, by the fact that my mind would not allow me to take in the evil that we have put into office. Even though, as I watched 9/11 unfold before my eyes, the analytical part of my mind was saying. 'Wait a minute now. This just doesn't make any sense.' When I could wrap my mind around it, the walls of denial fell faster than the WTC. They made so many mistakes. They had to have hired an idiot to do the wire up job. Fact!

I find it difficult to accept the official position regarding the forces relied upon to have the towers destruct in the manner described and observed. Having considerable experience with the production of steel from iron through finish product and exposure on some temperature distribution versus tolerance for distortion, the idea that the airplane, lets assumed it was fully loaded with jet fuel at the time of impact, could raise the temperature of the construction grade steel beams, after expending most of fuel energy to excite the existing combustible materials in the area of impact, to a temperature consistent with the steel beams losing its integrity. Moreover, given the impact zones and assuming that the temperature rose enough to cause the beams to lose integrity, it would seem that the weakness invoked would cause the top portion of the towers to fail toward the weakened area and not come down as it did. Given the actual film of the plane hitting the South tower one can observe that the majority of the jet fuel burned catastrophically depriving the combustibles I believe of enough fuel to raise the temperatures over 900 degrees F. Even so, the outside wall of the South tower would have had the steel weakened in the exit corner and there should have been the area of distortion causing the tower to topple instead of pan caking as it did.

I was born in 1981. I was a fabricator of structural steel, including welding, for about 2 years. I took an introductory course, but have not been certified as a welder. I have, as far back as I remember, always been interested in general science, mathematics, physics and chemistry. My favorite things are big numbers and big structures. My mother is a librarian so I have a fundamental love of books and knowledge. In my 30 years of living I have read countless books, some popular, some technical, about metallurgy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, computers, biology, etc. I do not claim to know anything about any of these subjects, however, I do claim excellent knowledge of the scientific process, having (re)discovered many things through its use. It is the best tool humans have ever used in search of truth and should be applied in ALL situations where knowledge, not opinion, is sought, without exception. I am currently the president of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) club of Lord Fairfax Community College's Faquier campus.
It is clear that WTC-7 was a controlled demolition from, not scant, but overwhelming evidence, including collapse without any structural resistance (which would have put nearby buildings in danger from the asymmetrical collapse), the fact that the center of the building went first and the edges so closely behind that they form a perfect cup along the roof which is painstakingly sought over months of planning, not always successfully, by demolishers. It is symmetry that is only realistically likely in a consciously controlled collapse. Once, when I was a fabricator, I decided to test the power of my 6000 degree Fahrenheit oxy-acetylene torch flame. It was plenty hot enough for steel melting and above the melting point of all natural elements. Seeing a nearby rough quartz rock I though I would melt it. As it turned out the rock was more inclined to crack than melt, but I wanted melting from my 6000 degree flame. After about five to seven minutes of continuous envelopment by the flame, I finally succeeded. I succeeded in melting a smooth, but thin, skin upon the rock. I am not sure how long it would have taken to melt this grape-sized pebble, but longer than five minutes in a 6000 degree Fahrenheit flame. Acetylene produces the hottest flame of any fuel gas, such temperatures cannot be achieved with paper, wood, plastic or any other bit of material that can be found in a typical office. I had thought that the claim of the official investigative committee was that heat WEAKENED the steel, but did not MELT it. Turns out that there wasn't simply one governmental organization investigating, and the other reports don't match the official one. To get to the point of the above story, I want to know how CONCRETE was MELTED. That's my main concern; how did the circumstances I saw on live TV melt ROCKS? The fact that this line of questions was not perused confounds me further. I do not believe in conspiracy theories; just because you can't explain something at present does not indicate the work of magic, miracles, supernatural occurrences, or conspiracies. Because I do not simply write off the question with one of the above, I am actually mystified. I have only been truly mystified a few times before, so I take the pursuit of an answer to this concern, regarding melted melted rock and ceramics, very seriously. The answer must be full, true, and definitive; the official explanation is not. One reason that pops into my head for the crucial information to be a danger to public safety is that it could indicate the involvement of a high-level public entity, thus, if the public knew, it would lose all faith in the government to serve them and the country would melt, pun intended, into anarchy. That IS certainly a danger to the public. The people that form our government have a history of doing things, in secret, that the American people would otherwise not allow. This is not conspiracy or even necessarily bad government; these could be legitimate protections of the public. However, I truly believe that regardless of whether or not it's a good or bad idea, the moral and ethical issues should be discussed by the public. After all, it's already happened, so hypothetical government decisions could not be stymied by the public. The only reason to continue secrecy, that I can think of, is if they plan on making such decisions in the future. Let us open the wound and squeeze out the pus; it can only make us HEALTHIER. A proper investigation will happen because it MUST happen. Why not sooner rather than later? Why should our posterity know the facts of events that just happened, but not the people involved. Please, just tell me how the concrete melted. That would be enough for me; it's not so much for which to ask.

It seems evident, without a doubt, after examining the evidence put forth by the numerous contributors, with their overwhelming experience and qualifications, that the Official Government hogwash screams for the justice and accountability that a Democratic Society demands, is owed and expected from its Leaders and Representatives. This is especially so for the multitude of families and friends of those who lost their lives that shattering day.

Skydivers rule of thumb:- It takes 10 seconds to fall the first 1,000' and 5 seconds for each subsequent 1,000'... the main WTOs were just over 1,000', they collapsed in about 10 seconds... THEREFORE THE HUGE 4, 3 AND 2 THICK 'H' BEAMS GAVE NO MORE RESISTANCE TO THOSE BUILDINGS COLLAPS THAN THIN AIR! THIS IS CLEARLY RIDICULOUS.

I was married to a sculpturer and I have a good metallurgical background and know that even with excessive bottled oxygen you can not get one inch of steel red hot with kerosene. Secondly, my grandfather and my father-in-law were blacksmiths and I learned my metallurgy over many years from the time I could pick up a hammer. That building burnt in an oxygen starved environment, the smoke told you that except when the thermite ignited occasionally and that was evident with the sparkling bursts of molten metal escaping out the windows. Note; thermite produces it's own oxygen in a chemical reaction in burning..

The buildings fell too quickly. Jet fuel burns at roughly 400F, compare that to the burning temperatures to steel, aluminum-copper alloy, and titanium. The b-b shape pellets of oxidized metal that were found on the streets of Ground Zero are similar to those given off from a torch cutting process.

When viewed next to a controlled demolition, it becomes very obvious that there was no resistance in the collapses. There was no bending no twisting of metal. No resistance what so ever. There was no metal left to resist. Who knows where it went? Find out who sold nano thermite, how much and to whom in the period from 1998 to 2001. It must have taken literally years to install that much material in the structure of the buildings.

I am a male 55 year old U.S. born citizen. I have no engineering or architectural expertise. I did spend 20 years in metal fabrication as a welder/fitter which included much structural steel work. My training was received at The College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It included math, blueprint reading, metallurgy and welding. I graduated and was certified in gas, arc and heliarc welding in all positions in 1975. I picked up other metal working skills in such as thermal-arc cutting, bending/forming, heat shrinking, etc. as I worked my trade. I do know a thing or two about the properties and breaking points of various metals as I have had to be certified to weld them. That process involves chemical dye tests, x-ray tests and physical breaking point tests. I know that a jet impact and resulting jet fuel explosion/fire COULD NOT POSSIBLY be ejecting multi-ton metal objects that were welded in place 30 floors and more beneath the impact area. Neither would there have been any explosive materials in the buildings capable of generating such heat and force as the official story suggests. Just viewing the explosions PRECEDING each floors implosion is enough to raise serious concern as to what really happened. Building 7 wasn't even struck and still mysteriously imploded. Yet none of the other buidings in equal proximity reacted in likewise fashion to the events of that day. Forget conspiracy. The events regarding the WTC buildings on 9-11-2001 bear investigation as, in my opinion, they certainly weren't coincidence.
Too many unanswered questions. Explosions can be seen ejecting material systematically preceding the progress of the imploding floors of the buildings. Neither jet fuel nor any building materials produce the heat required to effect the metals in the buildings structures in the way people have been told. The FAA had responded to 67 incidents of planes veering off course in the year preceding 911 and followed procedure to the letter in each incidence. That was not the case on 9-11-2001. I could go on all day. There are just too many unanswered questions and extraordinarily unique failures to follow standard protocols and deviations from the way an airliner impact would have affected those buildings. Investigation into the truth of these matters is a duty of the American people. Enough said.

Though I hold no officially sanctioned degree in engineering from a college or trade school I have, throughout my life's experience gathered a rudimentary knowledge of metallurgy, architecture and engineering sufficient enough to know without a shadow of a doubt that the government's official explanation, as given in the 9/11 commission report, is insufficient, inaccurate and downright wrong.
As a youth I was fascinated with the Twin Towers and their construction. I would learn and study every bit of information and technical data I could get my hands on concerning the Towers. This is why after learning of the first plane strike I was quite confident that the Tower would not collapse. When the second plane hit I knew that this was an attack and not an accident but I was still very confident there would be no collapse. The Towers were built to withstand the impact of a 707. They were built with triple, quadruple and in some areas quintuple engineering redundancy. When the first Tower came down I knew at that moment that something was very, very wrong. I could tell by the size and distance of the lateral ejections that explosives had to have been used. In the months and years that followed I would research everything I could get my hands on regarding the destruction of the Twin Towers. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the Towers were demolished via explosive demolition.

45 years experience working with ferrous and non ferrous metals including heat treating tool and structural grade steels, working closely with mechanical engineers and metallurgists.
I have seen many television videos of controlled demolitions and have been present at live demolitions of at least six buildings taller than ten stories. The destruction of WTC 7 and the Twin Towers appeared to me identical to controlled demolitions I have witnessed. As a toolmaker I am familiar with the properties of various steels and am convinced the collapse of these buildings had nothing to do with fire.

I have an Associates of mechanical engineering, with a minor in materials engineering and metallurgy. I have served 10 years as an elected official in my community.
I have found many discrepancies and curious practices since 9/11. I also find it very convenient that many corporate lawsuits were terminated due to the loss of evidence from the building's destruction. I question consistency of buildings that basically fall within their footprint from control demolition, and the lack of buildings suffering from similar damages that have not collapsed. I've gone from cynical, to totally not believing the official line in New York City or the Pentagon.

Worked as a Mechanical Engineering Technologist, first in the wood heating industry and later as a QC technologist in the automotive industry. Have an extensive knowledge on the properties of fires in a controlled environment from first employment. From the second, I have an extensive knowledge in precision measurements.
In my first employment I was paid to come up with product designs with extremely high burning efficiencies. The best wood burning design products are measured by the amount of smoke they emit. Black smoke means low oxygen and slow burning process. Very inefficient design. White smoke, or better still no smoke means extremely high levels of burning and thus high efficiency. When I saw the two WTC with vast amount of black smoke I knew at a glance, oxygen starved fires with temperature aroung 600 degrees or less. Such temperatures would barely burn wood let alone steel. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw the two buildings collapse. I knew from an experienced heating technologist perspective - not humanly possible!

Have over twenty years in the Machinist trade and metal fabricating with experience in metallurgy which accompanies it.
The Towers were planned and constructed to withstand multiple hits from airplanes in addition to the fuel carried by them. Only ONE plane hit each Tower. Shortly thereafter each tower collapsed. Either the architects were grossly incompetent or the Towers had additional 'help' in creating their collapse. One must keep in mind that from the time each plane hit the upper part of the Towers, the entire structure BELOW the damaged area was pristine and untouched. Not one of the videos displaying planes hitting the Towers shows ANY sway or movement from the Towers as they're being hit in response to the impact. That speaks for itself in how strong they were.

It is bad enough that a catastrophe like the destruction of the 3 skyscrapers with so many fatalities on the 11th of September 2001 happened. What makes it worse is the fact that there are legitimate doubts about what the Bush Administration and others told the world. What definitely should alarm everybody is the way a majority of Americans and the News Media etc. have so far dealt with people that raised honest questions.

When I just saw the condition of all the steel girders around the accident scene - obviously cut at a diagonal - it was enough evidence for me to not believe the official story. Such clean cuts on beams are not the result of a cleaning-up operation. All these steel girders are muted witnesses of thermite explosives.

It is obvious that the conspiracy theory called the 'official story' is a big lie and that false flag attacks have been used thousands of time in history to manipulate the public. But more and more people are opening their eyes to them now and that is good. The official story is against the laws of science and the truth must come to light, it simply can't continue like this or I'm getting really scared of our future.

I have 20 years experience in hi-rise building construction, HVAC fab and installation, metal roofs. I worked the 64 story Millennium Tower in San Francisco in 2008 , the highest so far, and many others.
I can see every day how a skyscraper is built. There is no way it could crumble like it was made of sand. Those buildings were full of explosives, and there's not enough energy in an airplane to do that kind of damage, is my opinion. That the official story of 9/11 is far from true, we need the truth and we need to punish the real perpetrators.

I am a member of the general public who would like to see a new investigation to happen.
There are too many questions and no real official answers.

Steel and concrete do not turn to dust at temperatures that were present. Additionally, the wasn't enough heat to bring down any of the builds. In my opinion, if the government can get away with this it can get away with just about anything it wants to do to us.

The events of 9/11 shoulden't even be considered a conspericy theory. I have a passion for truth, and the events of 9/11 is still very relevant in our world today. The thing that inspired me to join ae911truth was the ballsy move of opening up monorail on ground zero. I see it as a slap in the the face to anyone who lost their life on that day. I remember watching 9/11 on the news the day it happened, and would love to see some sort of investigation into the events of that day, or at least building 7. The people of this contenent need to wake up, and understand that the real culprits of the tragity have never been brought to justice, or recognized. This is the first step and I want to help get the ball rolling.

I graduated from Lehigh University Materials Science & Engineering Department in 2012. I have now spent 2 years working on failure analysis of all kinds of materials.
I believe in scientific evidence and we deserve a real investigation. They should be welcoming a debate and discussion if there is nothing to hide.

An easy route for explaining the track of the fall. A free fall destruction of a building is much like electricity, they take the path of least resistance. Controlled demolition is a strict design principle on keeping the structure within itself, a process of confinement when working especially within close bounds of other structures. What we saw on all three structures were the strict principles of controlled demolition.

BS Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, University of Sheffield, England, 1992. Materials engineering has numerous courses on failure analysis and the properties and mechanisms of failure of materials.
I am focused on fact based evidence. Essentially steel and concrete do not fail in the way portrayed by the official reports. Failure of steel is ductile; it can soften and stretch, but doesn't fail like breaking glass unless extremely cold. A hydrocarbon fire (e.g. aircraft fuel) cannot produce enough energy to compromise an entire building. The building would have partially failed, and the lower unburnt floors would have provided a huge amount of resistance to collapse. The collapse certainly wouldn't have occurred at free fall speeds. Bottom line: Nanothermite? Explosives? Who knows. That's the point. A non-biased, open sourced investigation that actually includes the collapse of building 7 should be done. All computer models, assumptions and input data should be open to the public and subject to peer scrutiny. This is what is called 'science'. We could use a whole lot more of it. We need a truth and reconciliation commission. The people that died that day and are still dying deserve better.

Structural Iron worker for 11 years. Graduated at the top of my class. Foreman for the last 7 years. Involved and trained in all aspects of steel building fabrication, construction, erection,and relevant metallurgy. Studied the case of Sept 11, since early 2002.
All evidence points to some form of controlled demolition. No questions about it. The lies are miles deep. This was the false flag event needed to begin the much needed 'war on terror'. The war on terror and the associated laws passed are essential to the coup' taking place in America. The U.S. constitution is being systematically deconstructed and made irrelevant. All because of a 'war on a tactic'. Just like the war on drugs, there is no real, known enemy. There is no end, just endless possibilities for further usurpation.
