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 was brought to this when I put a design into the 9/11 Ground Zero Memorial Competition. The competition proved to be a scam as in essence Maya Linn's design was chosen and she was the power/head juror. That led me to the rebuild effort of the entire site which led me to stand on the rooftops five years ago screaming..GOLDMAN SACHS. Why? They made out like the biggest bandits of all the rich old white guys backslapping themselves all the way to the bank. Next..wow, it was an inside job. Seek and ye shall find for yourselves.

I got my BSEE from Stanford in 1964, and my MSEE in 1966. I worked in industry after that until I retired in 1997. My last job was at Boeing, in both the military and commercial divisions. Since I retired from Boeing, I have done quite a bit of tutoring in math and physics, at the high school and college levels.
Since about a week after the 9/11 bombing, I have thought that it was an inside job, by our own government. You might ask, why would our government want to do such a thing? My theory is that they knew we would be entering a protracted period of war in the Middle East to maintain control of world oil. The American public was very much against going to war, ever since Vietnam. The 9/11 bombing did, to a great extent, ignite war fever in this country, especially since they have conducted the war(s) without reviving the draft.

At some point, our cognitive dissonance no longer allows us to not question our myths. The 9/11 myth, unfortunately, strikes me as another obvious forgery. While this is only one of the myths we need to abandon, it is, to me, a smoking gun. Our nation, and our decisions, need to be based upon an open analysis of data with integrity -- not myths. Ultimately, can a nation or people that places myth before truth be successful?

I have 25 years public service as a building designer, office building manager, and landscape architect. I also have 17 years in private practice and have designed schools, performing arts theaters, fire stations. city buildings, and custom houses. I have designed major highway landscape restoration and have written guidelines for major architectural treatment of Interstate 90 infrastructure in Washington State. During my education, I took twenty five credit hours of structural engineering. I am a certified HUD/FHA plans examiner, and a certified FEMA post disaster building inspector.
As an architecture student, I was on the 100th floor of the WTC second tower during its construction. I was personally escorted to the top by one of the head engineers for the buildings. I had an opportunity to see the unclad structure as it was being built. There were no curtain or interior walls Given the size and height of these buildings, I find it totally incongruous that three buildings would pancake almost symmetrically. I would think that there would be uneven failure, melting of the structure, more to one side than another in at least one of the structures. The planes crashed into one side of the buildings, and unevenly - not on a level keel. That, to me would indicate more damage on one side of the building and more on one floor than another. All three buildings seemed to collapse inward on themselves with out relative little damage to nearby buildings in all directions. Why didn't at least one tower upper section tilt and fall to the side. And building seven was not square. If it collapsed from fire, why pancake instead of falling to one side or end where the fire was located? The fire was not in the exact middle. This is all too perfect - more reminiscent of a controlled demolition for ALL three structures. There are far too many coincidences to even discuss here.

I also served in the US Army, am a former Scout Master with the Boy Scouts of America, and served as a math mentor with the Higher Achievement Program in Washington, DC.
After studying the 9/11 Commission Report, the NIST reports, and comparing them to publicly available evidence and records (i.e., first-hand testimony from first-responders, independent video footage from multiple sources, and peer-reviewed reports from reputable scientists on forensic evidence not discussed in the official reports, etc.), I have come to the conclusion that the official reports are inaccurate and incomplete. The cause of the collapse of the WTC buildings, including WTC-7, as evidenced by video footage, is incompatible with the conclusions stated in the official reports. The conclusions of the official reports, when compared to the available body of evidence, contradict Newton's laws of motion. Given the overwhelming public interest in a new independent investigation, and given all the evidence not considered in the official reports (testimonial and forensic), and considering the impact of 9/11 on our daily lives and on our national and foreign policy, it is imperative that a new independent investigation be conducted and that the root cause of the collapse of the WTC buildings be established. In order to preserve the public trust, the new investigation must be peer-reviewed by an independent panel of scientists and engineers and the new commission must have the authority to subpoena anyone deemed necessary to properly conduct its investigation.

The Perfect vertical symmetry (No toppling) of the collapse seems to be highly improbable, as well as the thoroughness of destruction of the major elements of the bearing wall outer steel structure. It all seems to indicate a possible Engineered Demolition.

The freefall acceleration of Building 7, which NIST admits to, is not explained credibly by their computer model. The twin towers should not have fallen at all, since they were in static equilibrium, then suddenly explosively collapsed through the path of most resistance.

The manner in which the towers fell is amazingly similar to that of controlled demolitions that I have seen in recordings. The circumstances surrounding the collapse of Building 7 are very suspicious and need to be addressed.

Though attacked at substantially different elevations, both towers' collapse mode and debris footprint were almost identical to each other. Statistically this defies belief except in the case of a professionally engineered demolition. The collapse of Building 7 defies any belief at all, and should never have happened at all without outside interference. There is no point in listing the many other technical reasons that cause me to sign this petition, since the internet is full of reports on valid inconsistencies or omissions in the 9-11 commission report.

The official story doesn't match the evidence. In particular the damage of an outer load bearing steel structure through a thin aluminium sheet metal plane is not likely. Furthermore the acceleration (and disintegration) of the upper part of the building is clear evidence of a controlled demolition (compare also videos of failed controlled demolitions where the upper half is still standing).

I am a registered Professional Civil Engineer out of Lincoln City, Oregon. Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1978, I was raised by my parents who always taught me to seek the truth and to be honest with myself and those around me through all my endeavors. My father was the City Planner/Developer of the town in which I grew up, and he had a keen sense of the engineering field as well as the mathematics, physics and science behind it all. I'd like to believe that he passed that sense on to me and that I have been able to develop it through education and experience in the field. It is that sense that told me as soon as I saw the footage of those buildings collapsing on that fateful day that something was amiss.
Having aced a number of college level physics courses in my day, I felt I was being duped when the media/powers-that-be lied to the world in saying that the buildings collapsed due to the airplanes hitting them and the so-called pancake effect. Come on!

I visited NYC the weekend before the 9/11 demolitions and was lucky enough to see the Twin Towers before they disappeared from the landscape. I am fully convinced that Al Qaeda could not have been fully responsible for what happened on 9/11. I have watched 911 Blueprint for Truth and feel it is the most honest, lucid, and probable explanation for how those buildings were destroyed. I do not have any expertise in demolitions, but I understand basic physics concepts such as conservation of energy, conservation of momentum/angular momentum. There must have been additional energy imparted to those structures other than airplane impacts, burning jet fuel, and release of gravitational potential energy in order to take them down in the spectacular shock-and-awe fashion in which they were destroyed.

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.

My ideas have all have been addressed in the documentary associated with your site. I work with steel and structures. I understand all of the science.

At most, only the top half of the North Tower should have fallen, because heat rises and fire tends to travel upwards, given the very high location of the impact area. And then of course many buildings have suffered serious building fires without being brought down like the WTC.

I received my BS degree in Computer Engineering from Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara/Turkey. I received my MS degree in Computer Science from Syracuse University in Syracuse/NY/USA. I have been working as a Computer Scientist and Engineer for the last 18 years.
How many planes crashed into the WTC buildings on 9/11/2001? The answer is 2. Then, why did 3 skyscrapers collapse? The answer is available here on ae911truth.org and on the internet when you Google 9/11 demolition.

Today I am a private small business owner of an Energy Services company. Formerly, I worked for 28 years for Eastman Kodak as a building design engineer, construction manager, construction division department head, and Corporate Real Estate Director. I am a mechanical engineer by education. Part of my training was in statics and dynamics. I participated in the design and construction of a 26 story high rise building. Additionally, I was licensed and taught Kodak management executives a proprietary process for problem analysis and decision making. As such, I am a logical thinker that reacts to data rather than emotion.
Because of my experience with the design of a box frame high rise tower, I have always (from day one) been troubled by the official explanation for the 9/11 building collapses. Based on what I know from my experience, these buildings could not collapse in the pattern that they did from the heat of a plane crash. Simply stated, it is not physically possible. I have kept my thoughts mostly to my self. But when my grandsons questioned the truth, I decided to look into the available data to help them form their own conclusions. I do not yet know - just as anyone else - exactly what was the cause. But I do know that the cause is not as supported by our government.

I have a BS in Industrial Engineering, with a math minor. I have done research for programs at NMSU.
I'm fairly new to this website. I found it after watching some videos of evidence showing the towers collapsing due to explosives. I'm excited to navigate more through this site and all of the evidence. It does seem to me after seeing more of the evidence, it could not be possible that planes took down the towers. Especially building 7, and I would very much like to know the truth of how something like this happened.

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. I went on to design pipelines, facility stations and compressor units and then worked with hydraulic flow analysis software for gas and liquids. I have been working in the oil and gas industry for over seven years now.
One does not need to be an engineer to see the twin towers and building 7 could not fall at free-fall speed without extra energy. The media kept saying steel does not need to melt (2750F) in order to be weaken to fall. The max temp of jet fuel of ~1350F, (fire was black, so ~300-600F, most of the fuel burned outside). At ~1600F, steel holds 50% of it's strength. And, I have read that skyscrapers are designed 10 times stronger than physically required. So, impossible even if you grant the highest jet fuel temperature. It is evident to the most simple-minded person that studies it for any length of time that it was completed by the government. Rumsfield stated on 9/10 that they 'lost' track of $2.3 trillion dollars. And, the Pentagon was hit in the very department that held on the staff and computers for audits. Now come on.
