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.

WTC Building 7 is the only structure that is even relevant, considering it was hit by absolutely nothing on 9/11/2001. There was no airplane, drone strike, conventional missile from the Air Force or the Navy, massive debris from the collapsing Twin Towers, or any natural phenomena such as an earthquake, tornado, tidal wave, that came into contact with WTC 7. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the building was conveniently demolished by means of controlled demolition, as is clearly shown in any video clip recorded by non-governmental agencies. Not for a second will I accept that office fires brought down a 50-story, high-rise building in lower Manhattan, built of high-strength structural steel and reinforced concrete in a highly developed, Western nation that has some of the strictest building codes and demanding licensing processes for engineers and architects! So if one building exhibited such a collapse mechanism, how about the Twin Towers themselves? What about the Pentagon? The 9/11 Commission Report is filled with gaping holes and flaws and is blatantly biased, basically the equivalent of Fox News! It should not take this many architects and engineers, among other professionals, to realize that something was deliberately done on that world-changing day. If the scientific reasoning and engineering principals that we are made to believe in this report contributed to the collapse of the three structures in NYC, then I have no hope left for America, because apparently, critical thinking and asking questions and challenging authority are quickly becoming undemocratic and treasonous! 9/11 was an inside job and I demand an independent investigation by professionals, not war mongers and profiteers!

I have been working as a Civil Engineer globally since January 2008 with specialization in structures of buildings and foundation design. I further have construction management experience and am able to manage projects and their construction elements/procedures.
The 911 events were clearly one of our times largest hidden crimes. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the buildings on 911 were destroyed by controlled demolition. The progressive collapse of the buildings (all 3) faces little to no resistance as they fell. The theory used in the World Trade Centers 1 and 2 of the 'domino' affect has NEVER happened in any previous structure and when plugged into the software, shows that it can not happen in the way it did on that day. And then there is building 7, the smoking gun. Too bad they could not blame that one on the 'domino' affect. There is so much crime that occurred on that day, and the government of the USA covering it up and not carefully investigating it only indicates their guilt in that crime. - - - - I remember in October of 2003, a group of Civil Engineers walked into our University and forced us (made it a graduating requirement) to watch their presentation, which explained how the jet fuel was responsible for the collapse. Their explanation made no sense, and when they were hammered with questions, their lies or lack of knowledge leaked out their teeth.

I have a B.S. in civil engineering, and I am a licensed civil engineer in the state of California. I practice in the field of structural engineering, on both new designs and retrofits.
Even to a layman, the collapse of WTC 7 looks exactly like a building demolition. If I prepared a report on a structural failure and didn't justify my results and provide full data and calculations, models and tests, I would probably get fired. Yet NIST got away with this in their report on WTC 7. A truly scientific study on the collapse of tower 7 with peer review and no agenda or political bias should be performed.

When I saw the Pentagon Conspiracy movie on the Internet, and Loose Change 2nd Edition in 2004 I suddenly knew the truth and have attempted to spread the word as effectively as I can--I give a lot of DVDs to my students to watch at home. Our active 9/11 group has hosted Robert Bowman, David Ray Griffin, Cindy Sheehan, and in Sept., Kevin Ryan as speakers to enlighten and inform the local population. I have had an AE 911 Truth bumper sticker on my car for over a year. I just finished Hal Sisson's Modus Operandi, and though it is fiction, it sure offers a lot of plausible explanations for how 9/11 happened. I listened to Paul Zarembka recently on Guns and Butter, and wow, he has a lot to say as well. A lot of good information out there, people need to get it. Donating to NYC CAN to help their effort--how I wish the mainstream media would pay attention to that drama instead of the stupid crap they focus on! Thank you Richard Gage and all others with the courage to speak out for us.

Yahweh once said through King Solomon, The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him (Prov 18:17, NASB). The unwillingness of the federal government to allow third-party examination of the 9/11 events and evidence raises many red flags in my mind. I find the inside job arguments, especially those pertaining to building 7, to be cogent.

I strongly doubt the official story on 9/11. I was at the WTC on Labor Day, 2001, and the event disturbs me greatly to this day. I linked the Loose Change website to my blog back in June of 2006 in order to spread its message to others, have seen Improbable Collapse, and the final cut of Loose Change. I have also seen the film, Zeitgeist, and have linked all of these important films to my widely-read blog. I have read a considerable amount of Dr. Stephen Jones' report, and went to see him back in February.

By observation, I could never understand the 'convenient' vertical collapse at the base due to an extreme event at height. I was most concerned by the third tower collapse, totally unrelated! Why didn't other buildings fall? I have watched the documentaries and agree many questions remain unanswered.

Electronic engineer interested in structural information regarding the Twin Towers and the real truth behind the demolition. Also wondering why non biased media still states the demolition as a terrorist attack. I guess they must be referring to the us republican government as terrorists!?
It hugely concerns me that mass genocide can be committed by a government on it's own country; looks very much like a detonation to me, amazing how the buildings fall straight down, and you can even see charges blowing out the sides as the collapse occurs. Buildings designed to withstand the impact, and yet they fall? separate testimonies please!!! it must be hard to admit to the truth of killing that many people, but then i guess cover ups are a common political move.

I began a professional career in Silicon Valley in '83 working in the hi-rel IC industry. I have worked in a variety of high tech companies in the Bay Area and have broad experience in technical, marketing, communications and business development.
I just happened to be up working in the early a.m. PST when events started to unfold in NY, and so was able to see all the coverage from the start. What I saw seemed as though a staged production, although certainly a sinister and incredibly tragic one. The eventual collapse of WTC 1&2 seemed completely implausible due to plane crashes and fire damage. As it has turned out, the evidence now shows this to be the case. Even though the media appeared to have no shortage of experts with ready explanations, I was not satisfied with these official stories. My independent research over many years eventually lead me to the understanding of how these towers actually did collapse so catastrophically and disasterously.

As thoroughly explained by Steve Jones and Richard Gage, the free-fall symmetrical collapse of the 3 WTC buildings on September 11, 2001 cannot physically be caused by fire alone. The law of conservation of momentum demands that the lower floors be blown out in advance from the path of the falling upper floors, so that their inertia does not slow down their fall. This can easily be proven using simple high school physics. An engineering degree, architectural degree or Ph.D. is not required to understand this.

I graduated in 1986, worked in the aerospace/telecommunications industry as a production engineer, building countermeasures defense systems for the military until 1990. I then worked as a bicycle components designer and CNC machine shop manager in the early 90's. Following this, I spent 12 years as a custom furniture builder. I no longer am involved in engineering as a profession.
I originally (immediately after the attacks) thought that the official story of collapse made sense from an engineering standpoint. However, after spending countless hours reading reports, looking through comprehensive engineering analyses, studying the tower's design aspects, and seeing what a poor, non-technical report/explanation was produced by our government, there is no doubt that there needs to be a more thorough investigation into what happened. It does not add up.

The Official story does not appear to be supported by the evidence. It would appear much more likely that demolition brought down the twin towers and building 7 than the burning jet fuel. The fact that the floors and columns came down so fast and in the same footprint along with the chemical analysis of the molten metal indicate the buildings were very likely brought down by controlled demolition. A through investigation by independent engineers, architects, and explosives experts is necessary for the truth to be known about what actually happened on 9/11/2001.

I measured on one hand the duration of collapse of the towers ( t1 ) and calculated on the other hand the duration of fall of an object on a height equal to that of the towers ( t2 ). My result is that t1 < t2. I can explain it only by emitting at least the following 2 hypothesis: - floors set no resistance during the fall (this hypothesis alone would lead to the result t1=t2), - the fall of towers was accelerated by the existence of depressions create in the building during its fall.

It takes very little time to review existing evidence and become convinced that controlled demolition was involved. This indicates that we do not have a complete understanding of how 9/11 occurred nor who was involved. This cannot be ignored or forgotten, because incorrect understanding causes people and governments to form inappropriate perceptions and actions, which lead others to respond similarly.

In January 2004 I stumbled on a web site that showed evidence that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11. It is clear that the buildings had help to bring them down. The collapses of WTC towers 1 and 2 were obviously far more energetic events than can be explained by some sort of progressive gravitational collapse initiated by a simple weakening of the structure by hydrocarbon fire. Here I am thinking of the tremendous dust clouds (pyroclastic flows) and the nearly free fall speed. Building 7, not hit by a plane, appears to have been a classic controlled demolition, and perfectly symmetrically executed.

There are hundreds of inconsistencies in the events. The most striking for me are the collapse of WTC 7 and the foreknowledge of the events. If the collapse of WTC 7 was totally unanticipated, then how many other buildings in the world are in danger of seven second complete collapse due to a few small fires? Foreknowledge includes Gulliani's interview where he states that he was informed that the first tower (south tower) was going to come down in 10 minutes. Additionally, there are the elevated levels of stock put options on United Airlines, American Airlines, and Boeing; Larry Silverstein's comments on pulling WTC 7; Silverstein not eating breakfast at the top of the north tower on that day which he did daily otherwise; and CNN and BBC's anouncing that WTC7 had collapsed 20 minutes before it did.

Currently retired after 40+ years in mechanical design, test/evaluation and management. I have had some experience in explosive identification and tagging at a national laboratory as well as weapons designs.
Real time observations on September 11, 2001 of the collapse of each of the twin towers, as provided by the national TV networks, led me to the same conclusion: controlled demolitions. Subsequent analysis, as found on the internet and in various publications released by non-government entities, have clearly demonstrated the validity of that conclusion for each of the three towers. The problem at hand is to achieve a government sponsored study that is truthful and fact based; education of the US population and electing a legislature that is reponsive to the US population is important though problematic.

Objects move through the path of least resistance. Towers 1 and 2 collapsed through the path of most resistance. Normally, you would expect the layers to fall with increasing eccentricity as the collapse progressed, rather than through the centreline where the greatest resistance is. NIST's cascade theory depends on mathematical modeling, and as with all complex models, numerous assumptions are needed to get the model to run. An independent review is needed to verify the reasonableness and plausibility of the factors included in the model which was used to support the cascade theory. We need to independently verify whether the NIST analysis was a case of shooting the arrow and then painting the bulls eye around it. Furthermore, films of the collapse of WTC7 show a very improbable event: the symmetrical collapse of a building that was impacted by the WTC 1&2 debris asymmetrically. Both ends of WTC7 should not have begun their collapse at the same moment if left to chance alone. The collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7, purely from an engineering point of view, and leaving out any political theories or implications, do not make sense without the assistance of explosives or other devices or some other as-yet unimagined factor to remove resistance and control the collapse. I very much recommend that the engineers, whose duty it is to determine the causes of collapse, remain unswayed by speculations and fears about political implications, and make their assessments based on the physics and engineering alone. The claims made by NIST seem to require multiple leaps of faith in highly improbable events. Improbable things do indeed happen, but as all good skeptics know: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

1) From a metals engineering perspective, my experience tells me that it is impossible for jet fuel to melt (liquefy) structural steel, yet there were rivers of glowing molten iron under ground zero for weeks after 9/11 as evidenced by eyewitness accounts and US Geological aerial thermographs. - - - - 2) Compounding the impossibility of fuel to melt steel is the massive heat sink of the huge central core weldments of the twin towers. However, these core structures are always left out of official discussions and computer generated simulations of these events. - - - - 3) The black smoke of the twin towers is evidence that the jet fuel fires inside were burning cool. Black smoke is an indication of an oxygen deprived fire - the towers were smoldering, not melting. Further evidence of the cool fires is radio records of NYC firefighters discussing how they only need two or three hoses to knock them out. - - - - 4) From a purely logical perspective, the official story does not make sense because of the events surrounding WTC 7 which was a full block away from the twin towers yet the buildings directly between it and the towers remained standing even though they were directly rained on by falling debris. WTC 7 was neither struck by an aircraft, nor significantly damaged by debris. - - - - 5) The following is a MUST SEE video: At just after 5pm EST, the BBC news had their NYC correspondent Jane Stanley in front of their studio window overlooking ground zero and reported that the Solomon Brothers Building (official name of WTC 7) had collapsed - when in fact it was standing like new in the background right behind her. How did they know about the collapse 20 minutes ahead of time? - - - - CONCLUSION: If someone knew of at least one of the collapses ahead of time and jet fuel was not the reason for the collapse, then there must be some other reason for that collapse. It logically follows that if this true explanation is being covered-up, it is probably the same explanation for all three buildings.

WTC tower 1, 2 and 7 could not have collapsed by fires the way we saw without extra auxiliaries as ieg. explosives. NIST could not have explained the collapses at all and it has left the official explanations to private persons who have failed too. The last attempt was done by Dr. Seffen from Cambridge University (UK) (http://www.exodus2006.com/911seffen.htm), but his paper can be debunked to be false.

I, as I hope many other colleagues in the architecture and engineering fields, am sick every time I think about the tragedy that occurred on 911. I want the truth, I want there to be an independent and transparent investigation of the crimes that were committed on 911. I want to bring people back to reality, back to thinking and start the discussion of what really happened on 911. I support all individuals who are courageously stepping forward and showing their patriotism by demanding the truth.
The 911 collapses were a sham and it pains me to think how so many Americans continue to act like sheep and never question what, although was a tragedy, was simply not possible via the forces of nature.
