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.

From the beginning I believed that all 3 WTC buildings were a planned demolition. My belief is based on the orderly way in which the Twin Towers collapsed, and the fact that Building 7 collapsed at all. Additionally, the lack of aircraft debris at the Pentagon, rapid removal of WTC debris before a proper investigation was conducted (in particular the steel frameworks), coincidence of a military aircraft drill on the same day, and finally - the Iraq war - lead me to suspect that 9/11 was actually orchestrated by persons heretofore unknown, and was actually probably not a terrorist attack. I believe a new 9/11 investigation is warranted and deserved by both the victims and the American people.

I don't believe it is possible for the buildings to fall the way they did from the bottom by being hit by planes at the top. The plane would have only damaged the top floors, the building fell as a result of a second and immediate occurrence. My experience shows this was a demolition.

For 7 years I've worked in project management and structural steel design for a steel fabricator. I'm currently working on obtaining a 2nd PE license in structural engineering.
Any individual with a minimal amount of mechanical and scientific aptitude along with very basic logical reasoning abilities can clearly see that the official 9/11 commission report's explanation for the collapse of building #7 is an outright blatant lie. The 9/11 commission report mentioned that building #7 collapsed due solely to office fires. How does an office fire make the core columns at the building's center disintegrate so that the penthouse on top of the building drops a slight second before the rest of the building, which then goes down at close to free fall speed? How can the combustible materials in an office fire have enough heat to keep tons of steel in it's molten state for many weeks after the building collapses? How did both Jane Stanley from the BBC and Aaron Brown of CNN know that building #7 had collapsed when we can see it standing right behind them as they give their report?

I am convinced that a steel frame building has a very small probability to collapse in an event of fire. The WTC 7 collapse is not explainable without resorting to the controlled demolition. The symmetry and velocity of collapse, the dynamics of collapse in general point toward the controlled demolition as a cause of collapse. Also, certain footage fully qualify as forensic evidence. As for the airplane hitting the Pentagon, I support PilotsFor911Truth.org, and find it unplausible that the airplane 'vaporized' upon impact scattering so few debris and showing a narrow and deep penetration into the building.

There are enough questions about the official story that a truly INDEPENDENT investigation should be undertaken. As I watched TV that day and watched the buildings come down, these same questions troubled me. The symmetrical collapses just did not seem logical given high-rise construction techniques. Why would anyone purposely do this? Will we ever truly know the truth?

There are way too many unanswered questions, not the least of which is: how the hell did building 7 completely collapse neatly into its foundation with only a few fires burning on a few floors? And why was the debris which contained all of the forensic evidence hauled off and gotten rid of before independent investigation teams could do any analysis?

The building collapses have obviously not been correctly explained. Elements of the collapses that raise doubt on official story: Observed explosions in buildings 1 and 2 prior to collapse, speed by which large sections of steel were hurled horizontally out from collapsing buildings 1 and 2, fall times close to that of a free fall, very little fire observed in building 7 before collapse.

2+2=4. When 2+2=6 because someone says so and they are not willing to have an open debate about it, it is clear they are trying to hide something. 9/11 was an inside job, and people should go to prison either for ordering it, or for covering for the one giving the orders. I've been investigating the games our government plays on us for the last six years. There is clearly a plan to control the many to serve the needs of a few.

The videos of the collapse speak for themselves. Any engineer must question the FEMA official report that avoided all the evidence pointing to controlled demolition. The truth must be let know to everyone. An honest understanding of all events is needed as future ones will chip away even further into what little is left of the USA's freedom. The beacon of freedom projected by the USA has been turned off.

Reasons to doubt the official story: Symmetrical collapses through the path of most resistance with the undamaged parts of building not slowing the collapse down any appreciable amount; Pre-event power downs for cabling work, removal of bomb sniffing dogs, questionable reactionary residue found after the collapses, molten metal observed, explosions reported, and energy of collapse not sufficient to pulverize that much concrete.

The brave voices of the professionals who openly challenged that order ought to be fully recognized as heros. Remaining objectional and rational in the wake of such a monstrous crime must have been so very difficult. - - - - So for them, for the victims, and for the survivors, I fully support your right to a truly open investigation and hope that many American professionals will embrace this opportunity.

It is inconceivable that three steel skyscrapers would fall in their own footprints at nearly free fall speed without the cause being a controlled demolition. An energy balance defies the official story of a gravitational fall caused by jet fuel fires. The evidence of molten metal, horizontal projection of steel beams and the pulverization of the buildings and their contents cannot be explained by the official story. Our country has been asleep and our democracy depends on learning the truth.

There was not enough energy delivered to the buildings by the impacting aircraft to destroy all the structural materials. - - - - The absence of any major components after the destruction is proof that massive amounts of energy were delivered to the buildings by planted explosive devices at the critical sections of the structure. - - - - The symmetrical collapse due to asymmetrical damage is at odds with the principles of structural mechanics.

I believe there are many lingering questions about the 9/11 report and investigation. Many of these questions are based on very basic and fundamental laws of physics. Unless a totally open and independent investigation is done and those who are accountable are brought to justice, scientists, engineers, and the public at large will keep searching for the truth until the full truth is revealed. Only then, our wounds will heal and our mind will live in peace.

I initially accepted the heating-theory when the WTC buildings collapsed because it sounded plausible at first glance and I didn't feel any compulsion to examine or think about it any further. However, upon seeing Loose Change, Fabled Enemies, and listening to the makers of those videos in person and listening to Richard Gage in person and referencing it to my background in structures and thermal dynamics, it became apparent to me that this was yet another fiasco/cover up ala Oklahoma City. I even manufactured my own refutations of the official version for the layman: 1. If you pour any flammable liquid on a flat surface (like a beam), what is the hottest point? Answer: it's at the tip of the flame NOT at the base so all that fuel spilling randomly around the buildings could not possibly have melted/softened so much steel mass from such an uncontrolled fire (just pour some alcohol on a cement floor, light it, then put your finger inside the flame near the floor and then at the tip of the flame and compare the temps). 2. Heat dissipates rapidly in 3-dimensions so couldn't possibly have the focused or confined temps necessary to melt steel, most of it would be carried away by air. 3. Steel itself also dissipates heat rapidly so any heating that occurred at the site of the fire would immediately spread throughout the steel frame disallowing any temperatures hot enough to melt steel anywhere other than the site of the fire if at all. 4. Note how it conventionally requires an acetylene torch using PURE oxygen at a FOCUSED point using only the TIP of the flame to melt even a SMALL area of steel - the WTC buildings had only AIR (not pure O2), had DIFFUSE heat, and over a LARGE random area - how could anyone think that was sufficient to cause failure of even one piece of steel let alone the ENTIRE steel structure ?!? 5. Jets and cars burn their fuel continuously within confined steel enclosures yet I have never heard of them melting due to this heat. 6. Even if a steel building could collapse due to heat, with a RANDOM fire heating solid structural steel RANDOMLY, I would expect a RANDOM failure leaving some columns collapsed, some columns twisted, some columns bending off to the side, and many columns still standing straight up in the air - NOT a TOTAL crumbling collapse into a nice neat footprint into the ground! Only a planned and focused demolition using explosives set at key structural locations throughout the building could cause this. The fact that you don't need any sophisticated theories or secret evidence to prove this, and the fact that you can simply use everyday logic and experiences along with mainstream media's own videos to expose the falsity of their own pet explanation for 9/11 makes this petition a slam dunk - assuming it is presented to a logical, ethical, and receptive audience (oh, oh).

After watching WTC 1 & 2 explode live on 9/11, and then being told they 'collapsed', I have spent the intervening years investigating the mechanics of each descent, refreshing my understanding in aspects of physics I had neglected since full-time education, and gathered enough tertiary information to not only be 100% confident in knowing the buildings were demolished, but confident enough to try and show others exactly 'why' what occurred could not be the result of a gravitational potential energy driven global collapse.

My name is Kevin W. Snedeker and was born, October 12th, 1985. I've been trying to figure out how things work since I can remember. In my Senior year of High school, an internship program gave students a chance to get out of classes for 8 weeks, 4 days a week to try and pursue what they believe would be a potential career option corresponding with the future college major. I chose to work at a Structural Design and Consultation Firm, and have been back every summer since. Once I graduated, I was given a full time position. Only when I began commuting regularly did I realize the impact on 9/11. I found out I, an American citizen, could no longer walk through a subway with a gym bag without being searched, despite LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE. This prompted me to understand why our constitution (bill of rights) was taking a back seat all of a sudden. The excuse that I kept hearing from officers was/it's security, well since when were we so insecure? i said, Since 9/11. Then began my research, and realized all the acts attempting to cover up the scientific facts that are common to me and my colleagues. Now, I'm trying to do as much as i can to inform as many people of the truth as possible.
The bottom line is the physics do not lie. All three towers (North, South and Tower 7) as per accounts on various independent studies, such as Richard Gage's or the documentary in-plane site fell at near free-fall speed, uniformly descending. This simply would not happen regarding the impact damage of the two planes and the fires in all three structures. Obviously, a plane impacting one side of a the towers won't do uniform damage to the structural frame. If a frame is not uniformly failing then frame would not uniformly fall. Structural members, especially steel members, would provide resistance in some areas creating a toppling effect. Further more, no steel frame structure has ever failed due to fire yet, official conclusions blame all three collapses on fire fueled by nothing more then office supplies when a good amount of explosive experts are on-record stating 95% of the jet fuel would have be combusted upon impact. It's plane false.

After graduation in 1959, I served in United States Navy for three years. I was Operations Officer on U.S.S. TALBOT COUNTY (LST-1153). In 1962 I joined ANR Pipeline Company. I served in various engineering and management position for 33 years, retiring on January 1, 1996.
I have three of Dr. David Griffin's books about 9/11. I was propelled into study by his relating how, minutes after the Pentagon crash, FBI appeared at nearby gasoline station and confiscated their security tapes. I have pursued study on videos, web sites. William Rodreguez story is compelling. Photos of steel beams projecting as javelins from building across the street are undeniable evidence.

Specialize in the construction of hydro energy unit(alternator-turbine) More specifically in the quality control aspect of the project and on occasion as site manager. Thus having study first as a machinist in mechanic I quite understand what is hands on approach!
What could be said more about this mess, it really show us how easily human can be foul and play around by others. And please, do get involve in politic or politic will involve you in misery!! Ciao

A summary of the structural analysis of the twin towers, carried out by the firm of Worthington, Skilling, Helle & Jackson, which can be found in the 1964 files of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, claims : The buildings have been investigated and found to be safe in an assumed collision with a large jet airliner (Boeing 707-DC 8) traveling at 600 miles per hour. Analysis indicates that such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse. The planes hit the towers on 9/11 at 440 mph and 540 mph, so the kinetic energy was below the design parameter. No collapse should have occurred. The temperatures of the burning jet fuel should have been around 360'C, which have never ever in history damaged a steel structure. That's why the firefighters went up the towers to knock down the fire with two lines, as we could hear over their radio. Those buildings were demolished with explosives, like 118 firefighters witnessed. Employees of NYC, Michael Hess and Barry Jennings, confirmed also hearing explosions in WTC-7, when they were looking for their boss over there, mayor Giuliani, who was already posted in a safer headquarter. They were lucky to get out alive. It's interesting that the 9/11 commission dare not to give any official statement on how this building could possibly have collapsed, because the level of junk science they would need to prove this would surpass anything they performed on showing the twin towers collapsed due to only two forces : a plane impact and fire.

Deceased. I am a structural engineer with 48 years of experience in all types of buildings.
I agree the fire did not cause the collapse of the three buildings. - - The most realistic cause of the collapse is that the buildings were imploded. The reason would be to go to war.
