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 claims officer and I deal with predominantly personal injury claims. I understand how claims are made as well as having family members who have worked as claims loss adjusters on behalf of insurance companies in the building claims sector here in the UK.
After reviewing countless pieces of evidence and reading the official 9/11 Commission Report, I am not convinced that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by jet planes and office fires. There needs to be a full inquiry as to how these buildings collapsed at near free fall speed, even at the risk of finding out that the official version is incorrect and the repercussions which it may entail. The truth is likely to be uncomfortable, but American citizens and the world population need to know.

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.

I received my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CMU in 2010. Since then I've been a software developer.
My degree in engineering required an advanced knowledge of physics, but one doesn't need an advanced knowledge of physics to see that the official 9/11 story is physically impossible. One just needs to understand that there were rings of debris ~600 feet wide around the twin towers, in all directions, and that F=ma. That is, an object will only accelerate in a particular direction if there is a force applied to the object in THAT direction. Since gravity pulls objects downward, and since the debris flew radially outward in all directions at very high speeds, one can only conclude that there were strong forces propelling matter outward in all directions. That is, gravity was absolutely not the only force acting on this debris; there must have been explosives planted in the towers, and these explosives were responsible for the collapse of the towers. It's amazing and a little scary to me that the vast majority of people don't understand these basic physical principles. Or maybe they lack the ability to think critically enough to question claims that clearly violate physical laws that have been well established for centuries, when those erroneous claims are repeated enough times by enough people.

Obvious demolition. There was no possible way that a plane could demolish either one of the buildings. Most definitely there are people in our government and nation who had prior knowledge of the collapses and indeed planned the whole event to further their control over their fellow human beings. It's very sad to see people's energy being used for destructive purposes when only a fraction is needed to free all people in a positive holistic way.

I graduated from the University of Maine in 2007 with a B.A. in Electrical Engineering Technology. I've worked for an engineering consulting firm called TRC out of its Franklin, Massachusetts office since graduation, performing engineering services for power utilities. I am also an engineer-in-training, which means I passed the fundamentals of engineering exam, which is required before applying for the Professional Engineering license. My substation design experience includes high voltage substations up to 115KV.
I'm concerned that the official story of 9/11 does not adequately explain the collapse of the three skyscrapers that came down on that day. World Trade Center 7 was never hit by a plane, had only minimal damage, and collapsed into its own footprint in a demolition style collapse. The twin towers also collapsed into their own footprint in a way that can be explained by controlled demolition.

My first thought besides horror, when I saw the disaster on tv, was no way, does a building collapse like that! And 2 at the same time! These building should have collapsed sideways above the crash place, and left most of the bottom floors standing. A masterpiece in perfect demolition! How many people in the world can do that? Later, when I saw building 7 went down, there was no doubt at all, that it was pulled down controlled. Collapse towards the center of the building, and almost simultaneously collapse of all walls. And still, I haven't heard and explanation why it went down? What

The brilliant Part III of David Chandler's NIST Finally Admits Free Fall is all one needs to understand that explosives caused the WTC collapses. The evidence for controlled demolition is overwhelming, of course, but it is the weak official explanations and non-sensical debunker counter-arguments that truly seal the deal for me. The NIST admission video is therefore qualitatively superior to all other videos that voice only the 9/11 truth movement side. In admitting free-fall NIST admits that their fire-based collapse hypothesis is wrong and that their report is a scientific fraud. Previous demonstrated shortcomings of their investigation arguably amounted to simple negligence. Not investigating reports of thermite, molten metal, and collapse preknowledge stand out here. But in admitting free-fall NIST has conjured up a contradiction within their conclusions that cannot be argued away. All that remains now is to get a critical mass of people to view the free-fall videos, as well as the others. Our strongest influence is among our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Make it a practice to educate at least one new person per week from these groups. Do this in parallel with working your politicians and news media and we will eventually get a real investigation.

It is impossible for steel frame structures to fall due to fire if the fuel for the fire does not elevate temperatures in the building to high enough temperatures to melt steel. Buildings do not fall in discrete piles in unplanned catastrophic failures.

The 911 buildings did not collapse, they disintegrated. A significant amount of energy needs to be applied to make a building disintegrate, much more than that available from either fire or gravity.

Never in history has a metal building structure ever collapsed due to a fire. WTC 7 never even got hit by an airplane and it also fell on it's own footprint. Thermite was found everywhere at the site. All cement was pulverized indicating high explosives where used. Explosive blasts could be seen in slow motion as before the floor collapse. Steel could be seen melting before the collapse and was still molten for 2 wks after the collapse. Steel melts at approx. 2800 deg F. and jet fuel burns at 1800 deg. F. The jet fuel did not melt the steel period! Btw, kerosene heaters burn at 1800 deg F. so why doesn't the metal housing melt? A terrorist passport was found at the WT 1&2 scene in good condition while the smallest part found was a keypad from a telephone. Give me a break!

Collapse of steel-framed buildings because of fire is nearly impossible. And a symmetrical collapse in free-fall-speed because of fire is absolutely impossible. About 300 hours of studying the facts relating to Sept. 11 showed me clearly, that the mainstream-medias and the governments of USA and Germany (and other) were lying and that they are still lying today.

I was a staunch republican at the time of 9/11. I supported the invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan at the time. However, about 2 years later I became aware of building 7. After carefully evaluating the evidence, I concluded that these 3 buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. I now believe that there is an agenda to take away our civil liberties under the auspices of fighting a false terror enemy.

They way in which WTC 7 collapsed clearly needs an independent investigation. Steel structure buildings cannot fall at near free-fall speed, into their own foot-print due to small fires. The official story does NOT scientifically explain the collapse of WTC 7, the Twin Towers, nor the findings of nano-thermite in the wreckage/dust, nor the molten steel that jet fuel fires cannot possibly burn at temperatures high enough to cause. Ground Zero should have been treated as a crime scene, but the wreckage was quickly removed - why was this allowed?

The crash of the plane has caused the destruction of several columns and then overloaded the columns which was remaining and then could have created a phenomenon of buckling in chain. Nevertheless it is impossible that this happen at the speed of a free fall approximatively. It implies huge supply of energy in the critic sections of the column, such energy brought by the reaction of thermite sounds very plausible.Plus, I'm not an expert in demolition but the collapse of WTC7 is way too clean to be characterized as accidental.

Twintowers: I doubt heavily the official story, as it would have been the first time, that steel frame buildings would have collapsed in such a way! Building 7: An almost obvious controlled demolition, what else?! Pentagon: Maybe the first telemetrically controlled airplane had also a hardwired altitude detection and was later flown to a remote airbase. Therefore, a second airplane - it might have been a large drone - was launched to try to cover the failure (as presented already on several websites).

What about the missing operation of the sprinkler system? Emergency power generation failed - why? Extremely unlikely because the sprinkler system was installed in the WTC towers after a fire disaster in 1976 (if I am right).

From the evidence provided by AE911TRUTH it is obvious that there is more to the story regarding the investigation on the attacks of 9/11. I do not however make the claim that 9/11 was an inside job due to a lack of evidence, but the need for alternative independent investigation regarding the presence of nano-thermite at the locations of WTC towers 1 and 2 and the deliberate take down of WTC 7 at free fall speed leave many unanswered questions.

Based on the evidence, the 'Official Story' does not explain why the Twin Towers collapsed. We the people have a right to know the truth, so the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 needs to be re-investigated. The new report/story needs to be supported by the evidence.

All three buildings collapse at a high rate straight down into their base footprint areas. There are many news clips where repeated explosions can be heard before the buildings collapse. There are many news clips where police and fire personnel state that there were many explosions before the buildings collapsed. The owner of the WTC buildings states during an interview that he gave the order to pull WTC 7 hours after the planes hit the other two towers. It takes days of preparation to pull a building like WTC 7. BBC reported that WTC 7 collapsed before it was actually demolished. The official story is nonsense.

WTC Building 7 came down on 9/11/2011 under extremely suspect circumstances. It is clear from video and trace thermite beads found on scene that this building was brought down using controlled demolition. The follow up investigation on this, the largest crime scene on American soil, in American history, was a sham. A new investigation as to the cause of its fall should be initiated by a group independent, but sanctioned, by We, The People, and our 'government'.

I remember on the day when the news of the 911 attacks was coming through. I was at work and we all gathered in the office of a colleague, who had a radio, and I remember hearing the frantic voice of the radio announcer saying that one of the towers had collapsed. At the time we had no access to TV footage of the hit on the buildings. After the collapse, I remember turning to a shocked colleague next to me and saying something like: the plane must have hit lower down, towards the bottom of the tower? It was the only way I could comprehend or explain to myself a collapse of such magnitude and speed! Today, it is still that rapid, symmetrical collapse that I find hard to understand.

I have learned tremendously through all the videos on ae911truth.org about the potential causes that might have brought down the mighty, majestic buildings adorning the Manhattan skyline. And the hollowness of the official investigation report. It was personally a very tragic moment for me to witness on TV the colossal damage and despair unseen in modern history. It fills me with awe to imagine a bunch of semi trained people remotely controlled by a man in remote languishing third world country desert or cave could trigger such a catastrophe despite the sophisticated vigilance of world's greatest nation.

As someone who considers himself a no-nonsense observer who values truth in whatever form it takes, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to question the cognitive dissonance between the official story and what I observed with my own eyes. Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~Patrick Henry

The accelerated collapse of the WTC buildings at nearly perfect free-fall speed, is physically only possible with a controlled demolition of the support structure (core & outside) of the building. There is no feature of the collapse that would support the theory of a weakened steel structure. On the other side, all characteristics of the collapses point to controlled demolition. In addition there's a lot of other evidence that can be learned from David Gage's excellent lecture, like the thermite evidence, witnesses hearing explosions, molten steel etc. No scientist, engineer or architect seeing especially WTC7 falling, could deny this is anything but controlled demolition. When seeing quotes of the NIST report it becomes painfully obvious the collapse has not been researched or explained in a scientific manner.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland, 1964. I served in the US Peace Corps for five years (rural public works engineering) in Bangladesh, Iran and Nepal. I did some graduate studies at the University of Washington. I spent 32 years as a consulting engineer, mostly in heavy industry: refineries in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. I have traveled extensively around the world. I'm now retired, with many volunteer projects (eg: Active Election Observer).
There are way too many unanswered questions from the World Trade Center destruction. These are left even unasked, from the post-attack preliminary-investigation. With no hesitation I demand a new totally open public investigation, unlimited in scope-of-inquiry -- even if such may open disturbing issues requiring honest and open resolution. We must accept nothing less than total openness and an an impartial search for absolute truth. The USA and the world deserve no less.

I received a bachelor of science in aeronautical engineering with a minor in computer graphics and with a 3.55 GPA from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. In the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), I scored in top 6%. I've worked at Northrop Grumman Corporation as a system process engineer. And among other various employments, I was the pipeline engineering supervisor for the Lord of the Rings, working on all three films in New Zealand for Weta Digital to enhance the capability and efficiency of their computer-graphics production.
The official story about how the WTC buildings fell on September 11th is absolutely ridiculous. No fire-induced collapse, because of two jets, could cause a symmetrical fall of these three buildings at the acceleration of gravity--it's just physically impossible. The twin towers were engineered to withstand such aircraft strikes. And the videos of the three buildings falling also show clear signs of explosions that cannot be explained by any fire/jet caused collapse. Furthermore, there are innumerable eye-witness accounts of massive explosions (and demolition-style countdowns) that have no reasonable connection to the official story about why the buildings fell.

I design and review buildings and bridges across California, the U.S., and the world. I am also a guest panelist on many radio shows and stations across the U.S. such as KGO 810 AM, the Bill Press Show, and the Joe Pags Show, to name a few.
It is very suspicious that fire brought down Building 7 yet the Madrid hotel fire was still standing after 24 hours of fire. This is very suspicious to me because I design buildings for a living.
