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.

Basic laws of mathematics, engineering and physics are clearly broken if we follow the mainstream narrative. Steel structure collapse has NEVER happened due to sky scraper fires, especially since previous fires were much more severe and rendered zero collapses. Focus on Building 7 - it is the key - it is impossible to have discussions open to debate about this building. Focus on Larry Silverstien - he is also the key and has provided conflicting and closed responses when pressured during interviews from such excellent reporters as Luke Rudkowski. Finally the BBC release stating that building 7 had collapsed when it was still standing behind Jane Standley, and the official explanation provided by the BBC when questioned is enough evidence to show that the public is not being disclosed the full story, and therefore is not being allowed to hold to account the real responsible parties.

I have worked within multiple disciplines of civil engineering - surveying, roadway design, materials testing, infrastructure design and most recently steel detailing.
In the shocking moments of the collapse, my first reaction to the building failure was that there was no way 2 separate steel buildings struck by a plane could possibly come straight down completely pulverized and then a third building nearly unscathed suffer an identical failure. I feel that the media effectively force-fed the population a misconstrued version of the story. With all the horror and fear and confirmation from experts and eventually war, even I began to replace my initial reaction and knowledge with the thought that stranger things have happened even in the world of engineering. But more so; what would the horrible truth implicate and how would a nation react? Let us not forget that even the Pentagon damage raises questions. Nonetheless; as a member of the engineering society whose duty is to the safety of the public, I believe that too many people have died and too many provocative questions have been dismissed for us to ignore the need for a genuine investigated.

I have studied all available published information relating to the 9/11 incidents and find the official account to be non-credible. Therefore it is my opinion that a true independent investigation must be done to provide the truth behind this very important historical event. The collapse of all three buildings is quite obviously the result of controlled demolition.

These buildings were designed to withstand the impact of heavy aircraft like the planes that hit them. No steel framed building has ever suffered complete collapse, even from fires that burned much longer and hotter than at the WTC. I believe the modelling of the structural elements and failure mechanisms as done for NIST contains unrealistic loading factors and only through those factors are NIST able to show a total collapse happening.

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

The more I try to find about 9/11 the more I see the government's official theory does not explain what happened. The explanation of the World Trade Center towers collapsing does not stand up to the scientific method of reasoning and investigating. Further investigation needs to be done, so we can understand what happened and we can protect ourselves from something like this in the future.

I have worked as superintendent and general superintendent for a number of companies, building large buildings, high-rises, and warehouses. I am retired now.
I saw a documentary about a French photographer and his brother who had selected to document the lives of fire fighters and 'probies' at a firehouse right next to the WTC. I believe one of them died in the event and the other was able to capture on film the collapse of the second tower well. How did they select that sight? Who paid them for their work? In this film there were flickering lights, as in a controlled explosion, going from left to right starting with the top floor and going down floor by floor until about the fifth floor and then everything was obscured with demolition dust and total collapse. Obviously that firehouse was the first to respond. Was this British film a simulation or did it capture the truth? My other question is this: would it not have been wiser to douse the burning debris with water flown in by helicopters until all burning had stopped before sifting through the burning debris for human remains?

My latest independent project is Universe, Life, Science, Future a video that tells the story of evolution, history of science and projection of life of earth as we grow to the other stars into the future. In addition to that I design and build two-leg walking robots.
I am an outsider, and initially I didn't think about the videos of the WTC buildings collapsing which I had seen only once on 9/11/2001. But then a friend had let me borrow In Plane Sight and Loose Change DVDs and I was initially very doubtful. But after seeing these videos, I was firmly convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. The more I thought about the building falling at free fall speed, the more I realized how ridiculously impossible that is - it's amazing that many of us saw that building fall and didn't realize the problem with the physics of a gravitational collapse explaining that kind of rapid and complete fall. Now, the free fall speed, the molten metal for weeks, the hole in the Pentagon, the air force stand down, the evidence is overwhelming for controlled demolition. It is very important to protect truth, stop violence, inform and educated the public. See my web page for more info about my views on 9/11, my song Reichstag Fire, and much more information.

My employers have included Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, GE Aircraft Engines, Teledyne CAE, Raytheon, USNavy Civil Service, Detroit Diesel Allison, Cummins Engine Company, and Hillenbrand Inc. As a Reliability and Quality Engineer for over 30 years, I was required to consider all of the facts associated with any engineering failure. Disciplines that required my constant awareness are design integrity, manufacturing defects, environmental exposure, life limiting factors, etc.
I was acutely aware of Engineering Cost Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Analysis, with many post graduate courses in these disciplines. My career was heavily biased toward statistical analysis and Warranty Cost Forecasting, requiring me to consider all possibilities, emphasizing the likelihood that the less likely events should be considered less heavily. Perhaps, this is why I was extremely reluctant to even consider the possibility that 9/11 could have been a staged event. What is the chance that our own government could pull that off and get away with it? I pondered. When I was confronted with the facts, and I considered the reality that the temperatures of jet fuel combustion do not support the suggested failure modes posed by the government's official report, I was forced into a paradigm shift. This reality has changed my entire perspective on the groups that I had previously dismissed as emotional, uneducated fools. I was wrong and I am grateful to the 9/11 Truthers for holding me accountable for the Truth! Now, I too am a 9/11 Truther. The facts about the collapse of three WTC buildings on 9/11/2001 just do not support the theory posed by the PBS Report, or the US Government's publication. There must be further explanation to satisfy my hunger for the truth about the horrible realities of the WTC and Pentagon murders. As an engineer, as a patriot, as citizen of the United States of America, I demand that the government which is accountable to its citizens appoint an independent commission to investigate and report on the Truth of 9/11/2001.

Even though my personal domain of competence is not civil engineering nor materials, I feel that the 'official version' of 9/11 does not make sense. There are very many specific questions that have not been answered satisfactorily (or not answered at all!). I feel that a serious inquiry should be carried out, but personally wonder whether we will ever know the truth and who are the real culprits.

Free fall collapse of the buildings is not possible without use of explosives. - - - - As the towers collapsed they were turned in to concrete dust and relatively small pieces structural steel. This combined with the almost free fall of the collapsed floors would have reduced the load on the lower floors that were intact, not increased it. So,what caused them to collapse?

I am a degreed mechanical engineer working as a product engineer in the field of civil engineering (post-tensioning and cable stay bridges). I am also an Infantry Officer in the US Army National Guard currently mobilized in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
As an engineer (EIT) I am unable to accept the mainstream conclusion of the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings. Furthermore, having twice been involuntarily pulled from my profession (once in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and currently in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom), I am disturbed that the sole 'legal' justification for such activations of reserve units is the war on terror declared in response to the events of 9-11-01 (Executive Order 13223). The cause of the building collapses is immediately relevant to all our current foreign campaigns and policies.

I've worked for 10 years as a process engineer in multiple industries including, Iron and Steel Pipe, Pulp and Paper, and Nuclear Separations. My primary engineering role is now process control. I worked for two years in the Melting Department at a Ductile Iron Manufacturing plant.
From first hand experience, the process of melting solid iron or steel requires enormous amounts of energy either in an arc furnace or a blast furnace. We did not use hydrocarbon fuel or burning office supplies to melt the iron. There is ample evidence on this website to compel a new investigation: molten iron, chemical signatures of thermate, lack of pancaked floors, multiple eye-witness testimonies of explosions before the collapse. Mr. Gage and others like him are heroes for standing up for our country and telling the truth about what really happened on 9/11.

I'm presently a Senior Principal Design Engineer/Manager with over 24 years of broad industry experience in Product and Design Engineering. My initial year at engineering school exposed me to mechanical as well as civil engineering, although my concentration has been on electronic engineering. I've received over 10 US patents which relate to IC design.
It's my understanding that when a building has been destroyed by fire in the course of a crime, then forensic analysis must legally test for the use of accelerants. I believe NIST did not comply with this requirement and the only rigorous xray analysis of the steel ejected from this crime scene found strong evidence which supported the possibility that thermate was present. NIST's final conspiracy theory that thermal expansion was responsible for the collapse of WTC 7 - a new phenomenon. I also found out today that one of the eyewitnesses to explosive forces emanating from the basement of the Twin Towers, Kenny Johannemann, committed suicide - such testimony I feel was never fully considered by the 9/11 Commission and this evidence is rapidly disappearing, or worse, being swept under the carpet. I would like to see an independent inquiry into the unanswered questions regarding what really happened on 9/11 and full accountability of those who were complicit in the events of that day. I consider diversion of our nation's military to a bogus war in Iraq at the height of our nation's response to this attack with extreme suspicion.

In my point of view the location of non burned (possibly) Nano Thermite and the velocity of the impacts over a complete steel construction makes it obvious, that everybody should ask for new an independent investigations. Something is obviously wrong. New investigations could help to get rid of rumors and abstruse conspiracy theories.

I concur with the thousands of researchers and professionals who have stated that Occam's Razor here trumps official government propaganda: there is a wealth of physical, videographic, and eyewitness testimonial evidence that renders the government's story ludicrous and that suggests controlled demolition (WTC 7 being the most unadorned case).

My area of study was civil engineering, more specifically structural engineering.
Based on the facts that all three structures collapsed symmetrically as well as the chemical evidence of explosive material found in the dust/debris from the site, I believe the structures were destroyed by controlled demolition, not impact loads/explosions/fires caused by the airplanes. Also, the steel frame surrounding the impact zones would have deformed slowly after the initial impacts due to the ductility of the structural steel. This would have resulted in a localized failure at the weak points(where planes hit) and toppling of the structures through the path of least resistance. WTC 7 was the mayors shelter and it collapsed at free fall acceleration for about 2.25 seconds into its own footprint with no plane impact. This indicates that all of the potential energy was converted directly into kinetic energy with no additional energy available to destroy the steel frame and concrete floor decks of the structure. Free fall acceleration is impossible without the use of explosives to remove the numerous columns, beams. and connections simultaneously!

Electrical/Electronic Engineer, during my degree I have studied physics and the evidence more than overwhelms the lie put out by the government. Could they have destroyed the crime scene by removing all the evidence any faster?
This was a staged demolition with no doubt. The plane's impact and the fire that ensued did not bring these buildings down. Being on national TV, too many people's statements illuded to this. It is a crying shame that most people get caught up in the sensationalism and do not look at the physical evidence. The government, the media and the powers above them prey on the innocent citizens that are not educated enough to know the simple law of physics.

I really have no structural experience other than taking structural engineering at NMSU. My experience has been with highways and municipal design.
The official story is that the buildings, weakened by fire, and falling under their own wight, pancaked down. The collapse happened in less than 10 seconds, which is about the time for a free falling object from that height to hit the ground. Resistance of building joints at each floor would have slowed the fall and possibly caused a much less even descent, perhaps even toppling. Pancaking would have left much more evidence. Explosives would have removed all evidence leaving only dust.

The physical evidence pointing to a controlled demolition of the WTC towers and WTC building 7 are undeniable. An independent investigation of the evidence is needed to answer the many outstanding questions that have never been addressed. The official explanation of the events of 9/11 are clearly false, and must be independently investigated so that the truth of the physical evidence can be brought to light.

To me, the evidence shown by Richard Gage in the DVD titled 9/11: Blueprint for Truth clearly shows that the public was not given the real story behind why those buildings collapsed. You just can't ignore the evidence of molten steel, pulverized concrete, U shaped steel I-beams with no stress fractures, and signs of explosions (squibs) 40 stories below the collapsing rubble. The list of unanswered technical questions surrounding this tragedy is just too long to be ignored.

Have always worked in Residential construction. Attained engineering degree from CU while working in construction. Started construction business and bought and altered prints for and built my own home. Still running successful roofing company in Denver.
1) Building 7; 2) Fairly freefall of all buildings ; 3) first ever steel frame failure from fire x 3 @ same day ; 4) Eye/Ear witness accounts of timely explosions ; 5) anomalous treatment of powdered concrete crime scene ; 6) presence of molten metal ; 7) considering who benefits - many curious coincidences on the money /political spectrum.

I have been involved in the design and inspection of structures for approximately 30 years, including dams, bridges, roads, canals, pipelines, retaining walls, drainage structures, and other structures.
One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I understand concepts like potential energy, kinetic energy, and buckling strength. I have been a truth activist since autumn, 2007.
Structural collapse, even if it was caused by the impact of 757s, could NOT have turned all the concrete in WTC 1 & WTC 2 into dust.

I studied in the Engineering college of Geneva. My principal subjects were nuclear physic, materials knowledge, and electronics. I'm currently working in measurement electronics.
When I saw the collapse for the first time in 2001, I only thought it was strange that the towers did not fall against the others but only on their own footprint. In 2006 I studied this question seriously and concluded the collapse could not have been possible without explosives put inside the buildings.

Credentials: SBME MIT'57: major - materials; minor automatic control (Did not graduate with honors, but was graduated) Acquired PE License in Connecticut Born 1936, in Rochester, NY. After MIT graduation, did project and design engineering of fuel controls for GT engines: GE T58; P&W J58 in Connecticut. Returned to Rochester in late '60's. Engineering work experience has been doing machine design, mainly. Have done formal reliability analysis and quality control work (mechanical). Have designed electric (relay) and pneumatic logic control systems. Presently retired.
To the best of my knowledge and belief the WTC towers collapsed due to controlled demolition. I subscribe to the substance of the Kaminski article, 9/11 was a Hoax. There should have been immediate criminal investigations.
