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 am a non-licensed, practicing freelance architectural designer. I have had my own business for 15 years, before that I interned in various architectural firms and was a store planner for about 5 years. - - - - I have a BA degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley. I graduated in 1985. After raising my children...I am now contemplating getting my license, finally.
Being from the architectural/engineering field...I have always been fascinated about the collapse of the two towers. I, like many people, viewed the conspiracy tapes on www.youtube.com showing these supposed bombs going off as the towers fell. Frankly...what I saw didn't convince me of any nefarious actions. - - - - I never did quite understand how the building's collapsed completely within it's footprint....instead of tipping over. That always puzzled me greatly. I, like most of America, bought the pablum that they fed us.....it was the fires from the planes that melted the support columns. The fire proofing was either missing from the columns (as they were in the process of retrofitting this at the time of the collapse) or it was knocked off from the impact of the jets. - - - - I read many items on these theories...including a book called 102 Minutes, which pretty much settled my curiosity about any doubts I had. However, I'm not a scientist, or structural engineer so I just accepted what was said....but always had a kernel of doubt still in my mind. - - - - So I hear Richard Gage on KGO, San Francisco this morning and BECAUSE of his expertise and his eloquent explanation about the forensic facts and basic science disproving the story we were given....I sat up and took notice. I think many people are afraid to voice their doubts for fear of sounding like a nut....but when science enters into the facts...I think people will listen. I did.

The aircraft were not controlled from the cockpit when they hit buildings 1 and 2. The aerobatics with aircraft full of people, full of fuel, full of cargo, could not have been done by human control. They precisely bank and swerve into specific floors, middle, with precise bank to allow floor above and below to slice open the fuel tanks in the wings for immediate surface-of-building fire and smoke (maximum psychological/terror affect). This required a quartz altimeter (accurate to two feet elevation). The inexperienced Saudi alleged pilots would have simply flown straight into the buildings, open above surrounding buildings, not requiring any radical maneuvering what-so-ever.

Can not have the steel structure of the building have collapsed without offering any resistance much less fall in free fall as it did the first 8 floors. I never saw a car hit a house with 3 floors and it collapses total. imagine a plane, two in a building meant to last forever, and if it would not last and would collapse totally the way occurred. not to mention that burning of furniture and electronics do not melt steel used in the density structure of the building. I'm sad for the innocent lives.

I am a retired Public Relations Writer and I am willing to post my opinions on this matter in disagreement to the popularly believed storyline.
From my basic study of Mechanical Engineering, I can only say that the official storyline is preposterous; a building simply cannot fall at free-fall velocity without breaking the laws of Physics. And that goes without saying that the building was very well designed and could NOT fall without professional help from strategically-and professionally-placed controlled demolitions.

We need to investigate this issue in order to make sure that such a disaster will not happen again. The issue of Building #7 especially has never been fully explained and has been mostly ignored by the media. The few debris from building 1 and 2 wouldn't have been sufficient to cause building #7 to collapse into the ground the way it has. The official explanation that 'somebody' installed a tank of fuel in an office building fail to explain how the collapse would be possible - a fuel tank may cause fire etc. but not a collapse.

I've been a building contractor for 30 years. Modern skyscrapers are not designed to fall from the sky as World Trade Center 7 did. Nor do they encounter structural failure and collapse from fire. This is nonsense.

After receiving my degree I started working as a private consultant in environmental industry. My task consisted of assessing hazardous waste sites and determining how best to clean them up. After doing that for 13 years I transitioned into state service where I was responsible for reviewing environmental reports for technical adequacy and compliance with state and federal regulation. I currently have 30 years experience in the environmental field.
There were too many unanswered questions and/or poorly answered ones about how the trade towers and Bld 7 collapsed that forced me to reevaluate the official explanation. I've begun to understand that the reason people view people like me as conspiracy 'nuts' has nothing to do with impossibility of a multistory building, let alone three of them, collapsing into their own footprints unless it's by planned demolition. Rather it has everything to do with the inability to accept that our government, or rogue elements within our government, may have had anything to do with it. When that fact is accepted as a possibility, then everything else falls into place.

I can't believe that it takes so much to convince people. I realized it right away the first time I saw the collapse of WTC 7 on video, two years after 9/11/01. In my mind, it is very important to differentiate between 9/11 and conspiracy theories.

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.

My firm, Andrassy Engineering, Ltd., and I have been engaged primarily in the design of erosion control structures on the Lake Erie shoreline for the last 14 years. Prior to that I worked in private and government positions, also in the coastal engineering field on the east and west coasts from 1987-1993. I have B.S. and M.E. degrees in Civil Engineering. I am a registered P.E. in OH, PA, and MI.
I am not a structural engineer by training or practice, nor does my practice concern the design of structural steel buildings. Nevertheless, having basic civil engineering coursework experience (steel and r/c design, etc..) and some structural framing design experience I have harbored deep doubts about the government's explanation for these collapses since the morning of 9/11. I recall expressing then how the buildings would remain intact, even given the severe damage they had experienced, never considering that the damage inflicted could cause collapse. There is power in numbers and there is further power in the prestige and integrity of the numerous engineers, architects, and scientists who have come forward and who may yet come forward to challenge the government's explanations or lack thereof. I suggest that there are powerful computer modeling and physical testing tools that are likely being employed and may yet be employed in concert with the photographic, video, and forensic evidence to investigate how these towers collapsed, political motivations aside. I believe it is very important that these questions be addressed and support efforts to do so and thank all those who have come forward and put much time and energy into the numerous and vigorous research efforts that have already been conducted.

From the elements presented so far, I understand the 2 main hypothesis are: 1) WTC towers' structure's damage by the initial impact, followed by softening of this steel and concrete structure from fire exposure, until the upper building weight crashed the lower weakened structure. Since no other case is known of such equivalent buildings being destroyed by fire, then this explanation only holds if the initial damage was large enough. Are you aware of any evaluation of the energy dissipated by the initial impact, and simulations or computations of how much damage it could have caused? 2) Controlled destruction by coordinated explosions all along the fall path. Although most of what is left of the towers have disappeared, explosives traces are no doubt to be found in what remains.

Some people refuse to believe anything other than the official story, saying that anything else is conspiracy theory. They believe that a government conspiracy isn't possible because it would involve too many people for it to remain secret. However, the only thing that is truly not possible is the violation of physical laws. The speed at which the buildings collapsed violates physical laws if you believe the government's story. Therefore, the official story is impossible. Rule out the impossible, and you're left with the possible - a conspiracy by elements within our government.

As an Engineer I find the Official Story repulsive and reprehensible. I further find it upsetting that the real story has not been introduced to the public and has not even been approached by the media. This can only be seen as a cover up. Science does not confirm the Official Story but does confirm Controlled Demolition, especially in Building 7.

The straight down symmetrical collapses surprised me the day it happened. I had forgotten a third building even fell. After reviewing the collapses on the internet again recently, it is without doubt controlled demolition. Structural steel buildings can collapse from a fire, but not like that.

If the official story is true then the laws of physics have been violated. My certainty that 9/11 was a false flag attack is not based on any one damning piece of evidence but the sheer volume of damning evidence each sufficient in its own right to warrant a true investigation instead of the political farce of a cover-up known as the 9/11 Commission.

WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 were without a doubt brought down via controlled demolition- the evidence is overwhelming. Anyone who supports the official theory is either lying or hasn't researched 9/11 thoroughly.

I've worked in and around construction my entire life. One of my grandfathers was a civil engineer and developer, owning his own firm. He graduated from University of Louisville's civil engineering program. My other grandfather was a machinist and owned his own tool and die company doing contract work for the Louisville Naval Ordnance Station. My father is a builder and owns a sports advertising business. I graduated with a bachelors in civil engineering from Purdue University, an honor's list student who took several graduate-level courses. I landed a great job as an geoenvironmental engineering consultant out of school and worked at a management and design level on several high-profile projects, including a designated Superfund site. I've owned my own general contracting company since 1995 and have worked as an English teacher in several Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and Thailand.
I grew up in a catholic family that greatly loved JFK and were heartbroken at his assassination. Shortly after, my father was among the first to see a showing of the Zapruder film, by a man who was traveling the country and presenting it at universities. For this reason, I became a bit of a conspiracy scholar from my middle school years and this continued through my adult life, as I became increasingly aware of a world that exists beneath the surface of things. I had just come into knowledge of the Bohemian Grove and Bilderberg meetings during the summer of 2006 when I rather suddenly came to the realization that the collapses of the WTC buildings on 9/11 were the result of a controlled demolition. This took my awakening to the nature of political power in the world to a whole knew level. I've followed hundreds of rabbit holes since then and feel there is a lifetime of work to be done, if one wants to refer to it as that. It's actually more a struggle for freedom and perhaps even survival. Richard Gage and his crew have been relentlessly assembling a body of evidence for over 14 years and have shown a courage that I can only believe must have existed among our ancestors as they fought for freedom against the British.

Building 7 is the most glaring example of an inside job. It looks exactly like all the buildings we have seen demolished using controlled demolition. In the twin towers you can clearly see explosions and debris shooting out many floors below the collapse zone. The buildings fell at (WTC 7) or near (Twin towers) free fall. I have been studying this event for four years and I do not believe the official story.

The moment I watched a 10 minute video about WTC 7 on Easter Day of 2006, I knew the official story was a lie, and I am ashamed that I didn't realize it sooner. I don't know what really happened on 9/11, but one thing I do know is that it is impossible for 2 airplanes to cause the complete and total destruction of 3 steel buildings, comprising 250+ stories, at free-fall speed.

I was immediately very suspicious of the 9/11 event. Some of the evidence of federal government complicity in the attacks includes the collapse of WTC-7, reports of molten steel in the basements of WTC-1&2, reports of explosions in the basements of WTC-1&2, prevention of a proper investigation of discrepancies in the government explanations, and the reasons given for non-intervention in the attacks by USAF interceptors.

The World Trade Center 7 building collapsing in a symmetrical manner nearly at the rate of gravity led me to question the official story. The fact that WTC7 was only mentioned as a foot note in the 9/11 Commission Report furthered my suspicions. Not long after the Report was published I found this website and have researched the circumstances surrounding 9/11 much closer. There is so much overwhelming evidence that I could no longer sit idly by.

The September 11th attacks are a difficult issue not because of the science, but the psychology. For years I dismissed the 9/11 truthers without taking the time to listen to their claims, let alone examine the evidence that they had diligently compiled. Even when I finally did look into the issue, I wanted so badly to maintain my world view that I spent weeks looking for something that disproved the claims of the 9/11 truth movement. After failing to find it, I became angry. Why hadn't my engineering professors told me? I realized that, just like me, they had naturally rejected ideas that went against their preconceptions. Now I am trying to become a part of one of the most ridiculed and hated groups in the United States: those who were open minded enough to listen, humble enough to investigate, and motivated enough to do something about it.

Building 7 cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The molten steel cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The immense cloud of dust at the TOPS of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by softened steel brought down by gravity. The vertical and horizontal ejects from the tops of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by gravitational force. The presence of thermate in the dust particles tells it all - the mainstream media does not - obviously. And how about the human remains outside ground zero?

It is frustrating to watch America slip into a corporate fascist state. I am extremely paranoid of the privatization of our military, particularly the mercenary group Blackwater. I feel they are poised and ready to implement a police state under the direction of the Cheney cabal.

I would like to see more focus on the 9/11 Truth argument from an engineering perspective that cannot be refuted. My own simple conservation of momentum calculations show that the claimed pancake collapse can't have occurred at free fall speed as each of the floors would have slowed the floors above falling.

I was in state MA (USA) at 9/11 2001. Everybody was scared what happened. Lot of rumors like - how come that army jets did not attack those aircraft's before hitting WTC. I believed also that Al Qaida and their boss arranged it. a Year after, heard that a suspicious few number of people came to work at 9/11 2001 in WTC. I was still convinced that Terrorist does all the evil. Until I watched speech of Richard Gage and he technically proved that WTC was brought down by controlled demolition. After that I watched movie form Aaron Russo, I watched Zeitgeist where were also mentioned how those buildings fell down.

Asymmetric fires in the towers could not possibly have caused a collapse similar to this one. Such collapse could only have occurred if controlled.
