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.

Graduated 1978 Texas A&M U. Worked in architectural firms in El Paso, San Antonio and Austin Texas. Worked 8 years in NYC and Southampton New York. Now in Houston. 30 + years experience in architecture, construction, and design build/construction management. Experienced in high rise, mid rise, industrial, hospitality, and hospital type projects in design and construction.
I was working on the core-and-shell retrofit of the landmark Bank of New York building at 48 Wall Street the morning of 9/11/2001. After being notified that the WTC north tower was on fire, I paused a project meeting for a 15 minute break. We never got back to it. I personally stood at the corner of Liberty Park, which is across from WTC Borders Book Store when the second plane hit. The things that went on over the next few days I have always wondered about and questioned in my mind. On day three, I was called back for the disconnect of 48 Wall St. from the power grid. This was necessary, as the electric company would be attempting to power up downtown and did not want to electrically blow out any buildings on power up. How amazing it was to witness; truly an incredible effort to re-set a temporary power grid above ground over all of the lower downtown area in such a short time. Especially, which I did not know at the time, the main power feeds were completely severed from the collapse. The quantity of heavy cabling required on site so quickly and laid out on the street surfaces - alone an incredibly coordinated task - add to it all the volcanic ash type dusting, vehicles all over the areas and war zone type images. Now in retrospect, the coordinated removal of the debris began immediately. The firm I was with had assigned one or two engineers to assist on dismantling design and sketching. They along with one of the firms huge cranes were removed shortly after. From my first basic structural classes, I was told that the biggest danger to a steel structure that was exposed to high heat was that the affected or exposed steel would eventually lose its integrity and become rubbery - stressed past its modulus of elasticity. In witnessing the second plane hit the south/east corner of the south tower, and assuming that the heat was intense enough - long enough, the tower would have failed at and around impact height. In my opinion, it should have looked like a wrecked car that had been broadsided. The building would have been compromised from that corner and up and diagonally. To the extent that adjacent structural bays away from impact or heat areas would have reacted from the new imposed lateral and vertical stresses, I cannot speculate, I would only say that it would have been slow. That's all for now . . . My prayers to all those firemen (many just boys, it seemed), whose faces I looked at as they got out of their cars and pick-ups and were suiting up in fire equipment. The faces of disbelief as they walked the block or two towards WTC. These are but a few images I will never forget.

BS in Chemical Engineering. I am a process engineer.
Materials science, heat transfer, thermodynamics I & II, fluid mechanics, physics I & II and reaction engineering: these courses provided me the necessary training to understand the deficiencies in the original 9/11 story. Of course, anybody that has reviewed the evidence can see the problems with WTC 7's collapse. With regard to the twin towers, their construction, i.e. the steel vertical columns making up the center core of the buildings, provides the most irrefutable evidence against the pancake effect promoted by NIST in the official report.

I have 20 years post graduate experience as a structural engineer working in the offshore oil and gas, and laterally, renewable energy sectors. I have been running my own consultancy company for the last 10 years providing structural engineering services to offshore wind, wave and tidal energy projects.
The collapses of the towers appear to happen in a symmetric fashion at free fall velocity - indicating the use of demolition. Molten metal in the basement and columns sliced neatly at 45 degrees indicates the use of thermite. The collapse of Building 7 is particularly suspicious given that it was only hit by falling debris - and if was going to collapse at all - it certainly would not have been symmetrical - nor complete.Fire endurance tests with actual models failed to cause collapse. The NIST structural simulations - are not full simulations from the moment of impact to final collapse and the failure mechanisms seem to have been manually adjusted rather than relying on the pure physics capabilities of the software. The pulling forces on the perimeter columns by the sagging floors were adjusted' (NIST, 2005, p. 142) to cause yielding. A full and proper non-partisan peer reviewed set of analysis simulations has yet to be carried out. I suspect proper simulation will verify the physical model test results i.e. the buildings would not have collapsed due to aircraft impact alone.

I have analyzed the many videos available for these events, and the documented evidence cannot be denied. The pulverization of the concrete, the video documented blasts, the witness accounts of the blasts, all indicate that explosives were involved.
The design of the Towers can be thought of like a rolled up screen standing on its end. Poking a spike through the screen cylinder near its top does not cause that screen to collapse.

It couldn't be more obvious this was a highly coordinated event. The catastrophic intelligence failure of all the governmental departments is suspect. A conclusion can easily be drawn that it was a partnership of corrupt politicians and their for-profit global partners that engineered a crisis. Project for a New American Century is suspect for their involvement in planning the catastrophic event that was needed for their goals.

Far too much of the official story of 9/11 violates what we know of the physical laws to be accepted. Far too many improbable events lined up for 9/11 to unfold the way it did to be a matter of chance. It was far beyond the capabilities of anyone other than those with the highest level access to information to secret information of the workings of the FAA, NORAD, and the military. Fear and pain are blinding.

The Official cause of the destruction of the North & South towers cited in the 9/11 Commission Report assumes that the U.S. Federal Government believes the American people are too stupid to see through their lies. Hence, the government failed to invest much effort in covering it up.Overall, none of the physical evidence is supported by the 9/11 Commission's Report that office furniture caused the towers and building seven collapse. The heat generated by office furniture and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt structural steel, meaning that the official report isn't worth the paper it's printed on. There will never be an impartial investigation of the 9/11 event if the government can serve as a member of that investigation.

One would need to be blind and/or mentally challenged NOT to see that it was controlled demolitions that brought down all three buildings at the WTC in 2001, and it is abundantly clear that the 'official story' is pure caca. We need, no DEMAND, an independent, scientific, and legitimate investigation of the *facts* to determine which parties were behind this atrocity.

I had an anoxic brain injury 10 years ago. Before that, I was a highly paid researcher in MANY fields--a 'Renaissance Researcher' [!] I have recovered most of my faculties, and find that as time goes on, I am remembering more & more about the fields I researched--architecture, amongst them.
My brother is an engineer---and he claims though buildings CAN fall egregiously, to have a series of builldings go down in an almost impossible manner is HIGHLY suspicious. I tend to trust his judgment....

From the beginning I have had serious doubts that 9/11 could have taken place as has been reported. From my own research there are too many important facts preceding 9/11 and on 9/11 that have been kept from the public. I find the government reports so far to actually be insulting to my own intelligence. For instance, the passports they found on the sidewalk outside the trade center and other such nonsense. I want a real investigation, not one of these insider politico hand picked hack jobs.

The buildings collapsed symmetrically which means they did not fall from side impacts. The buildings collapsed too quickly for the collapse to be due to fire. The investigations were not handled in a manner that satisfied my curiosity about the causes behind the collapse.

WTC buildings came down in their footprints with behavior of planned demolitions. Why was WTC 7 pulled when it wasn't hit by jet? This comment by Silverstein indicates a pre-prepared demolition of at least WTC Building 7, if not the other two buildings also. Numerous witnesses (Firemen, police officers, citizens, etc.) have testified that they heard repeated explosions indicating bombs planted throughout building. Testimony and evidence used in the official 9/11 investigation seems selective and incomplete and biased. The hole in Pentagon not big enough for a Boeing 757 to have hit it. In my view, numerous unanswered questions and unscientific analyzes prompt me to call for a new and unbiased investigation to get to the truth of this national tragedy.

I am the Newsletter Editor for Denton ABATE, a motorcyclists rights organization and a chapter of Texas ABATE. We lobby for safer roads and better education for drivers and motorcyclists. But the evidence I have seen about the Twin Towers collapse makes me think I am focusing on too small an issue. There are bigger things to be concerned about, like the probability that the Twin Towers were deliberately demolished. This cannot be ignored.
The morning of 9/11, I turned on the TV as the first tower fell. Not knowing anything about the jets hitting the towers, I thought that it was a local news feed about a deliberate building demolition. After reading and seeing some of the evidence, it now appears that my first instinct may have been right on the mark.
