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.

WTC7 was my wake-up call. Once I reviewed footage of all three (3) of the collapses again this year (for the first time since 9/11), I was instantly struck by how quickly and completely they collapsed. I have spent the last several months in serious self-education, not just regarding the clearly engineered collapses that occurred on 9/11/01, but also regarding the unhealthy geopolitical paradigm in which this kind of government malfeasance can exist. I AM SADDENED BEYOND DESCRIPTION by what has occurred in this nation and across the globe in the wake of 9/11.

The manner in which Twin Towers fell. Again, no airline passengers and luggage, and mismatched aircraft debris. Pennsylvania crash, similar thing.

1) Free fall speed collapse of the THREE towers, and 2) high temp molten metal and concrete in the debris of ground zero for almost 6 weeks, are absolutely and physically impossible without a considerable amount of external added energy other than the one from the planes and their fuel. If you accept this official explanation like that, then you have to consider that the Newton Apple is not falling to the ground but is going up towards the sky! And that also maybe that the earth is not round but flat... Then i have, and every physicist and engineer have also to go back to school because everything we have learned in physics is bullshit. These 2 points have to be explained by any serious study. And the official explanations don't explain this because it cannot be explained without that added source of energy...

Davis (1990-1993); P.E. review course in seismic building design; currently Hazardous Substances Engineer, California Department of Toxic Substances Control (oversight of seismic hazard study of industrial waste water treatment plant; design of piping system; construction oversight, database development)
The nearly free-fall velocity and the symmetrical path of collapse of Building 7, the confined footprint of the building's debris, the lack of any external force applied to the building's exterior are suspicious. Coupled with these factors, a visual comparison of the collapse with that of buildings being leveled by professional, controlled demolition suggests that the cause officially attributed to the failure (weakening of the structural members due to fire) is exceedingly unlikely. The true cause was likely an intentional, controlled demolition using explosive thermal charges typically employed for such purposes. The failures of WTC Buildings 1 and 2, likewise, are suspicious due to the inherent design strength of the buildings' cores to withstand aircraft impact; the relatively low temperature of a kerosene fire v. the temperature required for structural steel failure; the presence of subterranean molten steel, suggesting that a high-temperature cutting material was employed (thermate or a derivative); the debris cloud, which resembled that from an explosion; and like Building 7, the near free-fall velocity of collapse. Together these factors suggest that the cause of collapse was an intentional deployment of a professionally designed and executed demolition process utilizing systematically and remotely detonated, thermal cutting charges strategically situated throughout the buildings on key structural support members and their joints.

Over forty years of experience as a structural engineer mainly in the design of low rise reinforced concrete and precast/prestressed concrete building structures. Some experience also in the design of low rise steel structures.
The official explanations of the 9/11 events defy basic principles of physics, structural mechanics and science of materials; therefore, they all need further investigation. The collapse and pulverization of almost the entire twin towers required such a gigantic input of energy that it could had not been caused by jetful (burnt almost instantly), the kinetic energy of the airplanes, office combustible materials or the potential energy of the buildings. The collapse by implosion of building #7 was an obvious case of controlled demolition. Controlled demolition requires weeks of planning, study of drawings, design and installation of explosives and wiring. This could not have been done the same day of the event.

The building collapses were initially suspicious but I accepted the theory for several years. I stumbled on Loose Change on the web and really watched the collapses. I noted the time it took for the buildings to fall. I saw the squibs. I learned the BBC reported WTC 7 collapse BEFORE it happened. I saw the lack of plane wreckage at the Pentagon. I read about Operation North Woods. All of this added up to a different explanation than what we were told.

It appears that the only way a building of this type could fall in the manner it did is because of actions which cannot be explained by the official investigation. A new investigation is required.

The result of the official USA government reports on the 9/11/01 tower(1 & 2) collapse including the WTC bldg 7 were not only an attack to the truth of the actual event but an attack to the very core of factual science and factual engineering practice. We have to throw almost all books of engineering science to the rubbish bin if we are to accept such report. It will be better to watch the science of the Hollywood films like StarWars. It is in my opinion an implosion to replace the old buildings.

Thinking about how one would explain this 9/11 phenomenon to a non-technical person: first of all, the fire was not hot enough to collapse the building, even if it were to burn for a very long time. And the way that the building fell, with such symmetry and neatness, can only be accomplished by implosion demolition. We have all seen video footage of buildings destroyed in this way, done by experts; this is the same. My field of education was about exactly this type of thing: stress and structural failure. There is no other way that it could occur, and I stake my reputation upon it.

People who accept the official conspiracy theory can argue that the twin towers had significant structural damage due to the impact of the aircraft, however no such significant damage was sustained by building #7. The controlled demolition of building #7 is the undeniable evidence that the attacks of September 11 2001 were the result of an inside job. The video record clearly shows the very top portion of building # 7 cave in despite the fact that the small fires many attribute as the cause of the collapse were many many floors below.

This will be the first skyscraper have burned and collapse as a result of a hydrocarbon fueled fire. Conservation of momentum and energy: The amount energy required to cut all the columns and pulverize all the concrete in each building far exceeds the amount of energy that would have come from the building collapsing and dropping a few floors. Thus what we saw happened could not have happened on the basis of one or two floors caving in. Furthermore, if the top would have fell, it would have fallen over to one side before coming down. Chemical analysis of the dust suggests explosives. The mass balance on the chemical analysis suggests tons of explosives. The naysayers suggest some burned conduit or paint would have produced this; however the mass balance proves this to be false. Why did the Mayor of New York announce Building 7 was going to fall before it collapsed? How did he know?

Born 1958 in Massachusetts, attended 4 years at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA changing major in sophomore year from Civil to Mechanical Engineering, then graduating in 1980. Started work at Vermont Yankee Nuclear plant, but quickly changed to product designer at KG Engineering in RI due to personal interests. After 6 years as designer, started my own construction company in NH, and am still in business registered as Leonard Builders, LLC in Conway, NH designing, building and remodeling homes, and light commercial projects. Also, in 1984, I was the off-road motorcycle racing overall champion in two racing disciplines in the N.E.T.R.A. series.
While watching the towers come down on the news on 9-11-01 on the television news, I was surprised that they did not fall asymmetrically to one side because, in my experience, symmetry is rare. Then, as I saw the recap television footage replaying the jets crashing into the buildings over and over while explaining that the heat from the fires caused the buildings to fall apart, I wondered again how the buildings could crumble straight down since the jets hit them off-center and since the buildings appeared to be built in a nearly symmetrical section, and yet be so tall. It was not until a friend approached me over a year later with doubts about the official story that I thought anybody else had the same doubts concerning the physics of the building failures, and why there was not a very thorough and public ongoing investigation.

Biography: J. Marx Ayres, BSME, P.E.; Consulting Mechanical Engineer; American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Fellow/Life Member. I have over 60 years of experience in the design and construction of mechanical systems for all types of buildings including high-rise office towers. I am an expert in heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing and fire protection systems. I have authored 41 technical papers and I am a chapter author in 3 books covering HVAC systems, building energy requirements, solar heating and cooling applications, thermal energy storage and earthquake damage to building nonstructural systems.
I support the work of Dr. Steven Jones. He has provided a scientific foundation for the collapse of the three World Trade Center (WTC) towers. I read the FEMA September 2002 report, prepared by the American Society of Civil Engineers, and initially accepted their theory of the collapse of WTC 1 and 2. As more information became available on the web, I was motivated to research the subject in a more rigorous manner. I have carefully studied the Jones 2006 paper, 'Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Completely Collapse?' and concluded that it is a rational step-by-step study that met the acceptable standards for scientific building research. His critical reviews of the FEMA, NIST, and 9/11 Commission reports are correct. I have signed his petition calling for the release of all U.S. Government-held information regarding the events of 9/11/2001. Richard Gage and Steven Jones's call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that the WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fire, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges, must be a rallying cry for all building design experts to speak out. They are following in the footsteps of Dr. Linus Pauling of the California Institute of Technology, who rallied his fellow scientists to oppose the development of the Hydrogen Bomb and the testing of nuclear weapons. He was later awarded the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize for these efforts.

As an engineer (BSEE, Carnegie-Mellon University), it is my professional opinion that all three WTC towers that were destroyed on 9/11 were brought down by controlled demolitions. The evidence supporting this conclusion is abundant. The best evidence includes:' Near free fall acceleration through the path of greatest resistance.' Vertical, symmetrical fall of all three towers.' Very rapid onset of fall.' Compete destruction of all 3 WTC skyscrapers.Only controlled demolition can accomplish these four characteristics.

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with over 20 years experience in the Aerospace and communications industries, where I have designed a large variety of structures required to perform in dynamic environments.
After watching the twin tower collapses live I wondered to myself where all of the energy came from to cause such rapid collapses. At the time I did not know how the buildings were designed and also heard a few days later about a civil engineering professor saying there was a 30g dynamic load. This was probably Dr. Bazant of Northwestern University. I somewhat accepted this but still wondered. After hearing about Dr. Steven Jones bringing up issues with molten metal in the rubble in early 2006 I decided I should read his paper. I found it on the Internet and after reading it started looking much harder at those collapses myself. Unfortunately, there is little doubt that the collapses were caused by controlled demolitions and it appears the aircraft impacts were causal ruses.

Any electrical engineer knows that when buildings collapse they do not explode. I saw explosions and particles being ejected outward and upward. This was not a collapse. I knew that there was something unnatural about two buildings collapsing straight down the day I saw this. Then there was a third building (WTC 7) that also collapsed like a perfectly executed conventional controlled demolition. I've been a 9/11 truther since about 9:30 AM on Sept. 11 2001. The FBI tried to blow up one of the towers in '93 and they were caught on tape. This has to be an inside job.

I have looked at the evidence and looked at the official story and find that the official story could not scientifically describe the collapses of three steel framed skyscrapers on 9/11. The very fact of the rapidity of the collapse in relation to conservation of energy and momentum defies all known physics. In addition the NIST report in relation to collapse initiation is faulty and opposes the known material properties of structural grade steel and the associated heat transfer processes.

Worked a number of years in Highway Design, followed by several more years in Metals Engineering, providing quality assurance for structural steel used in NYS bridges, and analyzing and designing repairs for deteriorated and otherwise damaged metal bridges.
The speed at which the buildings fell implied that the central cores provided virtually no vertical resistance at any point during the collapses. When the live television commenter stated that there must have been tons of explosives on site to cause such a collapse, i found myself in agreement and assumed it would all come out during the investigation. Combined with the reports of molten metal, inexplicably high temperatures recorded even by satellite, rapid removal and destruction of the structural evidence, the finding of tiny fragments of human bone thrown laterally from the structures, the missing pentagon trillions on 9/10; I am very concerned about the kind of world we are leaving to the next generations. 9/11 and the ensuing cover up is a big part of that concern.
