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 have for a long while been curios to the events of september 11, 2001. I have adopted the stance that emperical evidence and experimentation is the foundation for good science, something the official explanations of 9/11 seem to be overlooking.I am still searching for some good documented experimentation proving the official claims that WTC 7 collapsed due to fires, and that WTC 1 & 2, could collapse and pulverise almost completely due to the upper sections freefalling falling a couple of floors or so.

I carve jewelry from bone and antler, as well as producing various work with wood. I also paint. 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.

BS Metallurgical Engineering, University of Missouri-Rolla, 1999. I've been working as a metallurgical engineer for over 15 years, supporting various manufacturing and testing processes for the aerospace and defense industries.
People think jet fuel must be hot if it can lift airplanes into the air, but in reality, it must burn inside a metallic engine without damaging it, so it doesn't burn hot enough to even melt structural steel. Most of the jet fuel hitting the twin towers flashed off on impact, leaving little left to finish off the towers. And what exactly was supposed to have caused world trade 7 to come down? There have been a few intense fires in steel frame buildings, and they all leave the frame standing when they're over. Fire cannot explain the near-instant collapse of world trade 7.

I have worked in Civil and Structural Engineering since 1984. I currently work as a structural engineer designing projects for Alaska's oil industry. I have also done forensic engineering for repair of fire damaged buildings.
Although I have seen fires cause steel members to warp seriously, I have not seen fire cause steel buildings to collapse. On the contrary, I have seen steel buildings suffer fire damage yet remain standing. A collapse due to fire damage would start at the first member to fail, and global failure would cascade asymmetrically from there. Controlled demolition is the best explanation for what we saw at the 3 WTC buildings.

Let us be patient; the truth never suffers from honest examination. Justice makes a nation great, and the greater a nation the more solicitous will it be to see that injustice shall not befall even its most humble citizen. Woe upon any nation when only those who possess money and influence can secure ready justice before its courts! It is the sacred duty of a magistrate to acquit the innocent as well as to punish the guilty. Upon the impartiality, fairness, and integrity of its courts the endurance of a nation depends. Civil government is founded on justice, even as true religion is founded on mercy.

I don't know who or what is behind 9/11, but I know with 100% certainty that the official version can't be right. There must have been a blasting (especially WTC7), respectively there must not have been any physical resistance from below, otherwise the free fall of the buildings cannot be explained physically. The facts and the physical connections are so clear that I cannot understand why the media do not investigate this and do not allow any other opinion and dismiss people as conspiracy theorists who want to get to the bottom of it. The truth must come out!

Of the many violations of the laws of physics on 9/11, the lynch-pin is the implosion and free-fall descent of WTC 7 is by far the most glaring. The official story does not bear the scrutiny of a single high school physics professor. 9/11 has made the world a place of permanent war, total surveillance and dwindling freedoms. With such a high price being paid by the citizens of the world, It does not seem to be too much to ask that an unbiased, thorough re-investigation into the events of 9/11 be conducted. Richard Gage has worked tirelessly for nearly two decades to bring these truths to light. Working to bring experts in the relevant fields together to craft a peer-reviewed, exhaustively-researched narrative. Their goal is justice. AE911Truth has done more to advance the cause of 9/11 truth, in pursuit of that justice, than any other of the many fine 9/11 truth organizations.

I have reviewed the government 9/11 report and media footage. In my opinion the government story is simply not credible. Unfortunately, the physical evidence has been destroyed, leaving us to determine who ultimately benefited from this terrorism. This is how any competent criminal investigation would begin from this point forward. Further Congressional hearings are in order until this matter is resolved.

It is my belief that WTC 1 and 2 were taken down by non-conventional controlled demolition in which the buildings were exploded from the top down and the large core columns were cut using thermite. WTC 7 was taken down by a classic implosion demolition. All three buildings could not have collapsed/pancaked while falling in on themselves at near free fall speed.

In 2006 a friend introduced the 9/11 conspiracy topic to me. After reviewing the evidence about the twin towers I agreed that the jet fuel definitely did not drain down elevator shafts or stairwells. The fuel incinerated on the opposite side of the impact in midair. This is due to inertia. What was truly surprising was that secondary explosions were recorded before and after the second plane hit. You can hear the charges going off in some of the videos. Moreover, the fall of building 7 seemed predicted by many officials.

The speed at which the buildings fell should be the most obvious and least technical indication that explosives were used. Most engineers as well as non-technical people should be able to grasp this.

I remember watching the first tower fall, live. I asked my wife, 'How did the terrorists get the explosives in there?' It was so obvious that it was a controlled demolition. Later I heard the official story and thought it was a mistake. After awhile I realized that the story wasn't going away and I knew that there were others that knew what I knew. That is when I joined AE911Truth. There are many physical laws that the official story does not take into account but the most important are the laws of the conservation of mass and the conservation of energy.

WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?

After seeing the video of Building 7, I began investigating further. The more I looked, the more the government's story looked thin on details and engineering science. The rapid symmetrical collapse of all three buildings, particularly WTC 7, is implausible considering conservation of momentum. The South Tower's top portion beginning to rotate away from the center, and then disintegrating, seems highly suspicious considering the inner-core matrix and hat truss structural integrity in a portion of the building not impacted by a plane. The immense pulverization of the concrete seems completely unlikely under a purely gravitational collapse. The presence of spherical, iron rich media, interspersed in the dust, molten metal in the basements, and sulfidation of the areas where the beams were cut, is highly suspicious considering it was only a jet fuel fire.

A severed and falling building segment will decelerate as its kinetic energy is reduced by the deformation of the columns and stories below. The opposite was observed on 9/11. The segments accelerated through the towers towards the ground at nearly free-fall. This is direct evidence that supports a theory of controlled demolition, while proving the falsity of the official explanation without doubt.

The most compelling evidence for me of external forces is the time of complete collapse of both towers - around 10 seconds. There is no way it could plow through 10 stories per second without devices to blow out each floor.

Without any serious study I had simply accepted that the events of 9/11 were as commonly perceived, although I was not happy with the way the disaster was being used to promote what I felt were illegal and self defeating imperialistic policies in the guise of the War on Terrorism. It was not until early 2006 that I stumbled upon sufficient information to become suspicious of the official and generally accepted 9/11 storyline. This led me to do my own investigation during which I discovered the demise of WTC 7, which I was heretofore unaware of. Obviously it was the result of controlled demolition and scheduled to take place during the confusion surrounding the day's events. I now feel morally obligated to deal with and expose the politically unthinkable issues surrounding the 9/11 phenomena by participating in such undertakings as signing this petition.

Past investigations of the WTC collapses were awash in the concealment and destruction of evidence, the suppression and coercion of witnesses, and the utter abandonment of all sound principles of criminal investigation ' in short, a massive obstruction of justice, certainly in the moral sense, and often in the legal sense, as well. As an American citizen, it is now obvious to me that American authorities cannot possibly conduct an unbiased investigation of this matter, because too many of them are already compromised by their own participation in this obstruction of justice. We therefore need an internationally based investigation, on the order of the Nuremberg trials, in order to find the truth and punish the culprits. Such an international investigative body must have full authority to examine all evidence, extract sworn testimony from all witnesses, issue indictments, and try, convict, and sentence the guilty. Because the events of 9/11 were used as a pretext for two international invasions and occupations, everyone worldwide ' and particularly the citizens of Afghanistan and Iraq ' also have a right to demand an unbiased international investigation of the crime and prosecution of the culprits. If such an event in another country were used as a pretext for invading the United States, we ourselves would demand nothing less.

There are many inconsistencies between the official explanation and the facts. Here are some observations. 1) The lateral ejection of 20 ton steel beams hundreds of feet from a building--some reportedly in clean even lengths. 2) The beams were ejected in absolutely symmetrical patterns. (see http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/mushrooming.html) 3) The manner and speed of collapse were suspect. WTC1, WTC2, & WTC7 did not topple over as you might expect from a building weakened unevenly due to fire. 4) The mass of a fully loaded 767 with fuel would be less than 1/10 of one percent of the above-ground mass of one of the twin towers. 5) A variety of dust samples have proven the existence of iron-rich microspheres commonly produced by thermate reactions (explosives). In fact, the existence of these spheres has even been documented by the government. Some people may say that it is not likely or highly improbable for the trade center towers to have been wired with explosives due to the difficulty involved. This reasoning is used to dismiss any possibility of this scenario actually having occurred without considering the real evidence. Please find out the facts yourself. Don't let the so-called 'experts' (PhD or otherwise) and network television make up your mind for you. Attempt to understand and evaluate them yourself. Do your best to critically evaluate their statements to understand who has credibility and who doesn't. It is very important to consult experts, in print and on video, but do not let them make up your mind for you. Find out who is trustworthy and well-grounded in scientific principles, such as the founder of this group, Richard Gage and many others in the truth movement. Thank you.

No steel framed high-rise had ever collapsed due to fire before 9-11-01, none since. Yet we are asked to believe that THREE buildings collapsed due to fire on 9-11-01. Many buildings both before and after 9-11 have fallen due to planned explosive demolition. The official pancake theory of WTC1 and WTC2 doesn't hold up. All you have to do is watch a video. The pancake theory posits that the floors collapse one on top of the next. That's not what you see. To say that the three buildings collapsed is not really accurate, the buildings disintegrated. Large amounts of material were ejected laterally from WTC1 and WTC2. Reinforced concrete turned to dust in midair, and the buildings fell so fast that it's clear that the building structure presented no resistance at all. In the words of Dan Rather: Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when a building was destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down. Where came the energy to slice steel girders and pulverize concrete? Not from a kerosene fire, that's for sure, yet that's what we're asked, no told, to believe. We need to reopen this investigation.

Lifelong experience with power station projects (nuclear, conventional, renewable), have seen lots of high rise civil structures, including boiler houses, chimneys up to 250 m, cooling towers, etc. including fire damaged structures.
The fact that the whole structures after collapse vanished into dust and small size debris is not characteristic of large concrete-steel structures exposed to fire. The evidence and arguments for controlled demolition are really convincing and one has to falsify these by better arguments in favor of another theory, before one can disregard controlled demolition.

The light shed upon the events of 9/11 by Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin and others like them suggest most strongly that our government's version of the cause of what happened on that fateful day is far from the truth. Further, our government's continued refusal to satisfactorily answer questions about obvious conflicts in their version of causes and its refusal from the onset to allow a full and open investigation of these causes by an impartial and empowered body strongly suggest that certain elements in the current administration were complicit in facilitating the events of 9/11 as well as engaging in a cover-up of that complicity thereafter. Lacking a full and open investigation for cause it is highly unlikely that the truth can ever be proven.

Just about any discerning high-school kid, given objective information, will see through the official 9/11 fairy tale. The role of scientists, engineers and architects is less to impose opinions than to reassure other truth-seekers that they are on the right track and provide them with simple arguments to rebuke the keepers of the faith; Richard's simple free-fall speed model fits right in this picture.

Throw all the conspiracy theories out the window. Looking at this from an objective, scientific, analytical approach, the official explanation suggests too many impossibilities. We deserve answers.
