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.

My professional education as an architect is augmented by hands-on experience making and taking apart physical objects, such as using steel and welding, and extremely high-temperature ceramics.
Being an architect is not a prerequisite to understanding the visual evidence of the film footage: no airplane impact caused the explosions and internal collapse of the Towers 1 and 2 structures, and there WAS no airplane involved in Building 7.

The official NIST report is an obvious cover-up. One doesn't have to be an architect or engineer to see that the three buildings were not brought down by the hijacked airliners. The evidence for the use of thermate to bring down the buildings is overwhelming.

I believe the truth will set you free, and taking action toward that goal is a right that people should take into consideration.
I believe that the buildings were set up for collapse by other means. The building 7 collapse is just the fatal piece of evidence that could have being found in US soil to prove it. The way the buildings collapses is a perfect scenario of demolition procedures that can be seen perfectly clearly with no structural education required. I mean that with simple logic you can state that it is impossible for a structure to fall the way it did without other means. Investigation of these acts has taken too long and fallen on deaf ears ... it is time for the people to stand and demand it...

During the 1960s I studied construction technology at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I obtained a BFA from Herron School of Art in 1974. I became a licensed architect in the state of Indiana through the grandfather clause in 1977. During my career I taught construction technology at IUPUI, Ivy Tech, and Vincennes Universities. I worked for medium to large architectural firms on projects of varying sizes, both residential and commercial. I established a private practice specializing in residential and small commercial projects. I became LEED accredited in 2005. Throughout my architectural carrier, I have produced artwork based on Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry.
It is obvious that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. This fact has huge consequences for our nation and the world. We are at a crossroads. How we come down on the two sides of this issue will bear heavily on the direction of humanity's future. At the here and now, we must find the courage and perseverance to uncover and confront the truth wherever it may lead. Only then can we begin the work of fashioning a better world. I am proud of our profession for taking the lead on this issue. Our expertise, our ability to reason and present complicated concepts, our integrity and professional restraint are precisely the qualities needed. At this moment in time, we are the ones.

I have a mechanical engineering and structural engineering background. The bulk of my experience has been in construction and special devices engineering. I have provided automotive, aerospace and medical equipment companies with answers to many functional situations for operations as well as daily use of devices that I have either developed or partnered with developers to manufacture.
The entire scenario of how the buildings fell especially the height and rate of fall does not correlate to any know demolition except for a controlled or planned demolition. I also can not accept the findings of the 911 commission due to the absence of critical data such as thermite presence and witnesses who claim there was an explosion before the planes hit. WTC7 is a complete mystery all its own. This country, the victims and the survivors deserve better than what has been furnished and it should be viewed as treason to expect the public to swallow this entire situation as it has been presented by our government.

My employer sent me to NY on 9/10/01 on business, and I flew into NY LaGuardia on 9/10/01 at 11:30 PM. I was in New York City on 9/11/01, so am one of millions to witness this destruction from relatively near, and remained in NY for weeks after. Knowing like many that all was surely not as it appeared, we brought in films and lecturers to Kansas City starting in 2001 in order to educate others of the need for real and impartial investigations of what is certainly a false flag event. This evil deed must not continue to go unpunished. The actual perpetrators will yet be brought to justice, and through this we can correct and adjust for our future. We the people can always handle the truth, yet most of those in power are proven irresponsible and cannot allow the truth, much less demand it. We demand an actual arms length technical investigation, outsourced to a truly independent commission, to follow to wherever the truth itself leads. We should also demand actual and thorough criminal investigations and prosecutions, starting with basic evidence from the crime scene itself.

The official stories of WTC building collapses do not make any sense in the physical world I deal with daily as an engineer. I fully concur with Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction submitted to the Open Civil Engineering Journal. Especially with NIST's statement regarding WTC 7 that Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analysis are needed to resolve this issue. Indeed it does require further investigation and as an engineer I take this language to mean that there is no official theory that adequately explains the collapse of building 7 of it's own accord.

It is time that the American public be given the truth about the 9/11. When the evidence is examined and pieced together the official story falls apart. I support the call for a real and independent investigation into what really happened during the 9/11 events and cover-up, regardless of who the real perpetrators were. Once the truth has been established we can go about finding out who the actual perpetrators were.

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.

The continuing refusal by those in authority to even engage on this subject is even more disturbing.

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.
