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.

The events of 9/11 are unprecedented both in history and in science. Due to the manner in which all three WTC buildings fell, taking their construction into mind, the official story defies several areas of established scientific understanding. These areas include, but are not limited to, strength of materials, thermodynamics, statics, and column loading. These buildings fell with acceleration (not constant speed), and collapsed inside of their footprint. If we were to apply sound probability theory to this, you would find it easier to find a particular grain of sand on Daytona Beach.

I have been working for ten years in software development. I'm mainly concerned with electronic signature, ciphering, time stamping functions, and PKIs.
I 'm still unable to find any explanation in the official commission reports that stands...I've just read the NIST, NCSTAR report for public comment pdf for the WTC7 collapse explanation, but there's almost no point about the time to collapse! F.R. Greening report about WTC 1 and 2 seems very well informed but doesn't take into account that the top of north tower lean while falling: that's completely missing in his calculations...whereas it obviously should have had a great importance to calculate the developed strengths in his pancake collapsing theory...but that simply can't be the truth because it's obvious to me that the leaning should have increased unless another strength was applied.

The tragedy to the American people on September 11, 2001 with the collapse of 3 buildings at the World Trade Center in NY, NY that took several lives was deliberately allowed to happen by President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and others to justify going to war. This is an act of treason taking a country to war just like it was by Nazi Germany prior to World War 2 that was based upon a lie. Many within the military-industrial-petroleum complex wanted to go to war against Iraq and Saddam Hussein because they are use to getting several million dollars worth of contracts annually and could not tolerate having that public money being spent for other American needs. Americans should know that Saddam Hussein was a Central Intelligence Agency recruit so that the US would have easy access to oil and natural gas just like it was done with Iran years prior. This 9/11 act of so-called terrorism is the Pearl Harbor that was identified in 1992 by the Project for the New American Century after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The group that prepared the PNAC needed to find another enemy quickly. They did and many in the US have been fooled. Americans should understand that having a war against terrorism is very convenient. Any open minded and honest person that would view carefully the films of the collapse of the Twin Towers should conclude this was a controlled demolition when they critically view the periodic puffs of smoke as the buildings came down. Likewise, any open minded and honest person that would listen carefully to the testimony of several people present said there were sounds of explosions should conclude this was a controlled demolition. Any person that knows anything about temperature to melt structural steel utilized should conclude that jet fuel could not melt or weaken the structural steel and cause it to collapse in the manner it was filmed. These World Trade Center buildings are the first high rise buildings in the US that came down due to fire or by an airplane! Any person that saw pictures of the structural steel left at ground zero before it was quickly removed from the premise in a around the clock effort should witness the uniformity of cut angles that assisted with the building collapse. According to the book called Censored 2005, The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2003 and 2004 by Peter Phillips and Project Censored, story #15 that did not get published was called Israelis seen filming 9/11 tragedy. The source is the Scotland Sunday Herald, November 2, 2003. Israeli intelligence may have known the attacks of 9/11 were going to occur, but did nothing to stop them. Five Israeli intelligence agents were spotted filming and celebrating as the World Trade Center fell. All of them had links to Mossad. Finally, Americans should know that the owner of the World Trade Center made a handsome profit from the insurance coverage, which is more than just being lucky or a good business man.

It is physically impossible for buildings to have collapsed in that manner due to the impact of the commercial aircraft and resulting fires. There are many eye witness testimonies of large explosions even before the airplanes allegedly hit the towers. There are simply far too many discrepancies. An international external investigation should be undertaken into the 9/11 attacks.

I graduated from Clarkson University in 1998. I focussed my attention on structures, optimization, and renewable energy. I took a graduate level course in Finite Element Analysis and that gives me some background to critically review the NIST studies on the WTC collapses.
Upon seeing the video of the WTC 7 collapse, I could see immediately that this was a classic case of controlled demolition. Clearly the core columns were cut first -- as shown by the center of the roof beginning collapse before the rest of the building -- and then the rest comes down at free-fall. Classic and unmistakable. If the WTC 7 was demolished, why not WTC 1 & 2? If there were any demolitions, then clearly 9/11 was an inside job. Period. We must find out who did this crime before they strike again in America -- perhaps with an even greater crime.

After a preliminary evaluation of the evidence presented by competent architectural and engineering professionals since 2001 including information presented on the Architectural & Engineers 9/11 web site, it appears that a separate independent review is in order. Answers to many lingering questions directed to the collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings, including Building 7, need to be addressed and the results presented to the American public.

I was fortunate to develop expertise in fields of Aeronautical Engineering particularly Vibro Accoustic damage on trans-sonic applications and damage mitigation from nuclear events.
True, both WTC 1 & 2 , North & South structures were impacted by commercial 757's killing innocent passengers, crew & hijackers along with occupants in the building floors at point of impact. The devastation and human loss beyond the impact site was due to other influences because of the proven design and features of the Towers. The temperatures in the impact areas due to burning Jet-A fuel and the office furnishings and business tools could NOT rise to the level of 3000-4000 deg. F necessary to deform and fail structural steel joints and the total collapse of the structures. Such failure could only be caused by man-made features of pyro-technical assets pre-placed by outsiders. Look at the destruction of WTC 7. No aircraft or heavy debris collateral from the Towers struck that building. All destruction was in the classical method of building REMOVAL to make way for new assets.

As I continue to learn more regarding the events surrounding 9/11, I have to begun to see that this has the hallmarks of a controlled demolition. As such, I am interested in exploring who did the elevator work in the buildings during the period just prior to 9/11: who was this company? Even more: who were the specific workers assigned to this elevator project? What specifically was the upgrade that they performed? These workers should be deposed as part of a larger independent investigation.

For those with a knowledge of science it is clear what happened to the WTC buildings. Controlled demolition. Even many with just common sense know the official story is inadequate. The questions that need to be addressed are who was responsible for the terrorist act and who was/is responsible for the continuing cover up.

Have extensive experience analyzing structural steel frames for Fuel Cell Power Plants. Also have extensive experience performing heat transfer analysis on high temperature fuel processor components and using the results to perform thermal stress analyses.
The official story has so many holes in it it is a wonder that it does not collapse under its own weight. The evidence presented by the engineers and architects seeking the truth about 9/11 makes sense. The collapse modes of the WTC buildings do not make sense based on any structural evaluation based on airplane crash damage and subsequent fires.

From and engineering standpoint, I believe the most powerful evidences against the official theory are as follows: 1) Molten and glowing steel under all 3 piles of rubble found months later. This would be impossible if the only thing burning were smothered remnants of office supplies and remnants of jet fuel which mostly burned off in the first few minutes. Temperatures of combustion of such an oxygen starved fuel could not even make steel glow. 2) The inability of the remnants of jet fuel and office supplies to provide sufficient heat to significantly weaken key structural members evenly to the point of failure. 3) The towers falling at near the acceleration of gravity into their own footprint. Even if the impacted floors somehow gave way due solely to fire, they certainly would not give way at the same time all around the structure. One side would have been weaker than another causing that side to fail first causing the upper structure to tip over imparting rotational momentum to the upper structure and shifting the CG away from the stronger side and onto the weaker side causing the weaker side to collapse faster... and so on until the tops of the buildings toppled over. There is no way an uncontrolled demolition would be so neat as these were. The mass and structure below the failure point would have absorbed enormous energy and momentum slowing the fall to significantly less than the acceleration of gravity. 4) Building 7 sustained minimal damage with only a few cool fires and its collapse has yet to be explained officially. 5) The many vertical structural members would have no cause to buckle and shear off at 45 degree angles. If the floors were to pancake as supposed, they would have had to shear off of the vertical supports leaving hundreds of feet of beams sticking up in the air. ...and I could go on...

The Bldg #7 NIST report of thermal expansion initiating a global gravity collapse, is not supported by the video evidence of gravity free fall without resistance of the structural members below, which would inhibit the fall of the structure. Thermite evidence is very strong. Controlled demo is strongly supported, not weakened steel strength due to fires, most of which were diminished. Twin towers have strong evidence of controlled demolition.

Because I was familiar with controlled demolition and I have seen quite a few, including high rise apartment buildings in Spain, the moment I saw the WTC towers collapsing on 9/11, I got the strong feeling that they were brought down with explosives. The highly professional job done by AE911Truth has consolidated by beliefs. Today I have no doubts whatsoever that all three towers were demolished in a controlled fashion. Furthermore, I believe those demolitions were a master piece that one day may be tought in engineering schools.

Professional experience has been in the Manufacturing realm. Also in Quality Engineering. I have been studying the 9/11 attacks closely for the past year and a half after first hearing credible evidence that they were contradictory to the official report.
I do not believe the official explanation of the collapse of not only the towers, but especially the collapse of building 7. The recent NIST report claims that the building collapsed as a result of fire induced thermal expansion. The completely uniform failure of the building (causing it to drop straight down at freefall speed) is completely contradictory to the computer generated model they provided as evidence. The simulation showed one section of the building collapsing and then the remainder. Video evidence of building 7 proves this was not how it fell. Knowing a good bit about physics, I don't believe building 7 could have come down as the result of anything other than controlled demolition.

I have looked very carefully to the video of Richard Gage and I was very pleased to listen to him when he came to Belgium on 17/11/2008. I am really convinced that the only scientific reason that could explain the collapses is controlled demolition. Once more, thank you very much for your contribution Mr Gage !

In the years after 911 events, I thought that all I read in professional reviews and French newspapers was true. The first time I understood that it was impossible was when I saw a film about the collapse of WTC7. I have seen before a controlled demolition of a flat near Paris, and it was the same ! I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

My thoughts are a pancake of floor down to next floor would have created a uniform dust blast in all directions, like dropping a book on a dirty garage floor, not individual squibs in certain spots. I did not see uniform displacement, I see squibs. I hear too many eyewitnesses reporting explosions in different parts of the building. Clip of firefighters is key, boom boom boom all the way down, like a controlled demolition. More than one source reported that the firefighters knew bldg 7 was about to be pulled. Compare film of other controlled demolitions; building 7 was a planned, controlled demolition.

Taught marketing and management at the International University of Monaco (1985 - 1994). Will soon start a strategic company which will have a mandate from a powerful financial holding to create and acquire companies in the ecological sector (solar energy, toxic wastes processing, micro solar electric power plants for underdeveloped countries, ...).
Compare the WTC steel beams with the Madrid tower steel beams ... http://www.arup.com/fire/feature.cfm?pageid=6150 http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/02/310898.shtml Unlike the twin trade towers (and WTC 7), this 32 story steel beamed building remains standing after burning for 17 hours straight. Does steel act differently in Spain and the USA ? When and how will we legally sue the Bush Administration?

Mechanical/Electrical Engineer, four year University Degree. Theory and investigation of failure modes. Seven years engineering experience: including six years rail industry, project management, design and replacement of equipment on railway structures. Signaling poles, gantries, equipment cabinets. One year mechanical/electrical design and drafting (plant design).
The cause of the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 could be argued in court (unfortunately). WTC7 failure mode (complete collapse) is not possible, the building had no fire and minimal exterior damage as per TV footage. If anything, the expected structural failure mode would be partial collapse (shearing across 30-45 degrees), located nearest WTC main towers. - - Note: Highly likely that collapse of WTC 1 and 2 would trip out all electrical power in WTC area, including WTC7. (no electrical fire)

Even someone who has passed High School physics should know the official story of 9/11 is a fraud. Buildings will not collapse at near free-fall speed from fire and/or aircraft impact. Any scientist suggesting such a possibility is a liar or incompetent. There are too many unexplained inconsistencies in the official story of 9/11 to mention. Having studied much material from Lyndon LaRouche's publications, particularly from Executive Intelligence Review magazine, I see that BAE Systems and Dick Cheney have a lot of explaining to do in relation to 9/11.

I received a BS in Architectural Engineering from the University of Wyoming in '98 and worked as a Consulting Mechanical Engineer for 5 years after.
After reviewing the data, photos, video accounts, statements from first responders, explanation for the collapse, etc. I believe that the FEMA explanation is inaccurate and requires further investigation. The upper floors affected by the impact could have caused structural failure, but this does not explain the complete and total failure of the supporting structure of the floors below. The explanation of the fire from the impact and jet fuel causing the total and complete failure of the supporting structures is false due to the relatively low temperatures of the fires and the massive amounts of structural steel at the core of the building. The pancake theory of collapse would support the evidence of several of the lower floors at ground zero. There was no evidence of anything that resembled a floor structure, nor any concrete pieces that were bigger than the size of a fist. This is evidence that would support the use of explosives instead of a natural building collapse due to upper level failure and subsequent gravitational impact.

Video, from any angle, of WTC-7's 'collapse' is all which needs to be seen.

I finished the Master of Science degree in Energy engineering in 2007, including one year at CERN. Since then I have been working with research and development in the field of wave energy conversion.
Even though I have difficulties in accepting the explanation that is suggested for 9/11, I think it is very clear that official explanation is even less likely.

Get some dust and look for the metallic microspheres and red/gray chips. The spheres are evidence of temperatures beyond the capability of jet fuel, and the chips produce molten iron droplets when ignited!

I am an ASE Master Auto Mechanic. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. At that time, a lack of job offers and a love of fixing things motivated me to learn to fix automobiles.
There is absolutely no reason to believe the official story. The black smoke pouring out of the towers obviously indicates a rich, or air starved, fire not capable of being so hot to melt steel.
