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 am very concerned that the government can present a story about what happened on 9-11 and everyone, including the press, just believes it because they say so, regardless of conflicting evidence or lack of supporting evidence for the official story. Something terribly bad happened on 9/11 and after. This country can not get back on the right course until the events of that day are THOROUGHLY and TRULY investigated and justice served for the 3000+ of my countrymen that died that day and those first responders who are still dying.

Having watched several documentaries on the destruction of the towers, I have come to the conclusion that the latest information I saw in PBS supports my belief that the destruction of the towers was NOT a normal collapse for bldgs of their type. My experiences with explosives and cutting steel using military demolitions supports the evidence I saw on this informational documentary. I DID believe the initial graphic documentaries describing structural failure of the steel pins attaching the exterior shell to the center core. However, the evidence of explosions, and the chemical traces that have were shown in 911truth documentary are correct in my opinion and support a further investigation as well as prosecution of the parties involved in ordering the destruction of the towers. Lastly, the suggestion that the purpose of the war in Afghanistan is to seek out the cause/director of the plane bombs leaves me with great disappointment and a failing faith in the leadership of this country.

There are too many unanswered questions about the physics related to how only the impacts of large airplanes caused WTC Buildings 1 and 2 to collapse (explode and melt). For example the melted steel beams would indicate use of thermite; and the many months of steel remaining molten in the ruins would indicate possible use of small (low radiation) nuclear weapons. How could only the jet fuel and kinetic energy of the collapse cause such intense heat (for months)? How could they cause the buildings to explode so far upward and outward? How could they cause so much of the buildings' concrete and steel to be pulverized (almost vaporized) into fine dust (2.5 microns)? Was the energy required to do all of this much more than that from the jet fuel and the kinetic energy from structural collapse? Basic physics principles (conservation of energy) do not appear to support the official story. What other sources of energy were involved? Also, there are many unanswered questions about how WTC Building 7 was destroyed; the official story was that small fires caused an internal column to buckle. However, all videos show it was an (obvious) implosion that was very level (i.e., level pancaking typical of engineered demolitions). So, did a demolitions team engineer and place the many explosives needed to cause its orderly implosion? If so, how did the team find the time and resources to do all of their work during the chaos on September 11? Or, was their work done before September 11, as a precautionary measure (for safe, controlled demolition) in case of attack? Hopefully a few brave, patriotic people will eventually address the many unanswered questions. If not, life will still go on, and the many good people of America will continue to improve our beloved nation.You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

I was a University professor for six years and taught in the School of Architecture and Construction Management at WSU.
I well remember the day that the towers were hit. When I first saw the footage, I trusted that everything would be okay - the twin towers were poster children for redundant structural design. The collapses really surprised me, and when I saw the collapse videos, I immediately called my fellow structure nerds. The fires looked manageable, and I fully expected the combination of fire response and building suppression systems to take care of it. When they fell, I couldn't believe it. Not dramatically, but practically. I was bewildered until I saw the footage of Building 7. Once that went, then I knew something was very, very wrong.

History has shown that the truth can be bent (even a lot by many governments), but not the laws of physics... 3 buildings falling in the exact same manner at 9.8 m / sec2, without any resistance from the supporting columns.... Where has the plastic strain energy gone ? On the other hand, one can ask: How come no one has spoken out yet ?

I was able to believe that a plane hit the twin towers, but could not comprehend any forces including localize heat at a high level that could bring the towers to collapse. I have never seen any explanation of why building #7 collapsed. In fact, I was not even aware that a third building had been destroyed ... based upon any mass media coverage. I only learned about the third building and evidence of explosive remnants years later. I know we have more to learn about what really happened.

As the dreadful events on 9/11/2001 unfolded I was keenly aware that I was watching a planned spectacle, much like the Kennedy assassination. It was poorly coordinated, in my opinion, because there were so many glaring inconsistencies with the common assumption that we were under attack (an opinion formed too quickly and too emphatically to evade close scrutiny), such as the very obvious fact that two jet planes under human pilot control could not strike such relatively narrow targets so consistently (the first one I almost accepted as blind luck, but when the second hit in just the same way I knew they were electronically guided). The really obvious thing for me was the ill-disguised detonations timed (poorly in my opinion) to suggest that it was the planes that brought down the towers when this was not possible. I remember remarking to my engineer colleagues that there was no way the buildings would collapse: They withstood impact and the thick black smoke was clear indication that the fires were oxygen-starved and relatively cool (well below the melting point of steel). Sounds of explosions could be heard over several news feeds, each building collapsed in a very rapid and controlled way, and the demolitions were performed too soon after the planes struck. A third building, much smaller than the towers, was brought down even though it was not hit. I am sure there were good reasons for bringing it down, but did the people who did this really think no one would notice?

The circumstances regarding the insurance policy taken for Bldg. 7, the statements made on record by emergency personel, reporters, and the owner of that bldg. all point to a pre-planned demo. Obviously the way it failed without being impacted pretty much proves that explosives were used. Unfortunately, in light of our foriegn policy towards the middle east and the Homeland Security Act following 9/11, which is really a way for the government to control US citizens, indicates that this was an inside job - false flag event. God help us all.

My obvious opinion is that this was without doubt a controlled take-down of the towers. Working in the steel industry for years, we all know that jet fuel cannot produce temperatures high enough to melt or weaken steel beams to the point of a total collapse. No one to date can explain the collapse of building #7; Big RED FLAG of pre-planning.

Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

It is apparent to me and other professionals I know that the official story and 9/11 commission overlooked and ignored any evidence showing the obvious cause of this disaster and that is a false flag event. With no mention of Building 7, molten steel or free-fall speeds of the collapse, leading to the conclusion that this is a classic case of the guilty investigating their own crime!

Although I have studied electronics, and not construction I have still had many of the basic physics-courses offered by DTU. Although university level physics is not necessary to understand the very basic physical laws involved in the collapse of buildings. And in my opinion there is no doubt, whatsoever, that the official story - especially around building 7 - is invalid. When one starts to look at the evidence presented by my colleagues around the world, it becomes absolutely clear that a fresh, INDEPENDENT, investigation is necessary. Even if one subtracts the usual conspiracy-theories around such event, and even if only 10% of the evidence is valid, it is still more than enough to initiate another inquiry.

Modern steel-framed skyscrapers have never totally collapsed due to fire alone, much less at near free-fall speed in a straight-down fashion. The presence of numerous audible and visible small explosions lends credence to the theory that WTC 1,2, and 7 were all brought down by controlled demolition.

In WTC7 the floors fell down too fast as if they collapsed simultaneously; as a sand castle. It is very suspicious. In WTC1-2 the floors collapsed beginning from up at the roof, as if they were exploded by controlled demolition.

I'm grateful to AE911 truth for upholding the principles of evidence based science that are consistent with those I encountered during my early undergraduate studies and training. Their questions are my questions and I believe that the institutional ethic is undermined by its implicit endorsement of the destruction of valuable data sets, its dismissal of independent inquiry and its bad faith deployment of institutionalised science to subvert the scientific method. The negligence of a single professional, be they medical, scientific or otherwise can result in a custodial sentence. The negligence of a generation of professionals may result in the loss of faith in evidence-based engineering as a tool for good. As such I feel that AE911Truth better represent me in what I was trained to be 'science' than the institutions do at present. I trust this situation will resolve itself eventually to the benefit of all as it always does, hence my membership.

BA (physics), MA degrees in 1950s. Long career in applied science and engineering mainly in tropical water resources but including an extended period of management in chemical engineering contracting. A change of direction in 2006 to promotion of molten salt nuclear fission reactor technology. Although now fully retired still quite active with related activities.
Immediate suspicion of the 'official' narrative was allayed by BBC and media reports that special design features of the towers might have made them unusually vulnerable to aircraft impact. It was a couple of years before I learned that Building 7 came down in free fall. This information started me on a search for truth...David Ray Griffin's series of books on this topic have been my best source of well-referenced evidence.

Knowing the basics of structural engineering, controlled demolition appears to be one of the only explanations of why WTC building 7 fell--and possibly the towers. Building fires do not cause steel-framed buildings to collapse. I am unclear why the government would not want an independent scientific investigation involving some of the most respected architects and engineers to take place in the absence of solid conclusions drawn in the official 9/11 report.

Over 20 years of experience as a geotechnical engineer. I have my PhD and PE. I am a research engineer and adjunct professor.
Please investigate the very obvious cause of the 3 towers destruction. There is no way these steel towers would fall the way they did other than by controlled demolition.

A new investigation ought to provide independent review.

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

Never heard about building 7 till now. This is definitely a demolition job. I've taken static class, which is for mechanical engineers to understand how structures are supported in college, and from what I see in the video of that building coming down so synchronously, this must have been a controlled demolition.

T. E. McLaughlin, PE, is a practicing highway engineer in Florida, and has been active for 32 years in all phases of the highway design process from route planning, to design, and construction management. His career started with Pasco County, Florida in 1976, and he has worked for a variety of private and governmental agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida D.O.T., and several local government public works departments. His projects have included major highway reconstruction projects (planning, design, and construction management), major intersections, military base security facilities, traffic control systems and devices, and construction management for all types of highway facilities.
This was obviously a controlled demolition. Videos of the collapse show a series of explosions blowing debris outward from the structures.
