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.

A land surveyor often stakes offices and other large buildings and we sometimes monitor these and adjoining buildings during construction. Any observant person can see the redundancy in the building construction.
No single column failure would result in a catastrophic collapse. All three buildings fell into the path of MOST resistance, not least resistance. This is impossible without removing the resistance. This is why there has been no record of a steel framed building collapsing in the way the three Manhattan buildings collapsed. Close up views of the North Tower show the building disintegrating above the impact area and the top of the building is descending while the portion of the building below the impact is not moving, proving that a demolition is taking place. The South Tower is tilting into the path of least resistance and suddenly it collapses straight down into the path of greatest resistance. The North and South Towers were hit at greatly different heights leaving the South Tower with substantially more weight above the impact area than the North Tower, yet somehow the physics of this great (crushing) weight did not accelerate the collapse of the South Tower in any significant way over the North Tower. Building No. 7 is clearly, without a doubt, a controlled demolition. The fact that if there was not foul play then those in control of the investigations and the Justice dept would have no qualms in allowing a fully independent investigation. In fact, if they are as innocent as they claim, a fully independent investigation would exonerate them. This was about the Caspian Sea and the oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan and the uncooperative Taliban who were opposing the CentGas pipeline.

I worked for years as a researcher, writer, producer and director of business and government films. I also spent years as a propagandist for a number of nations around the world. I know how easy it is for governments to obfuscate the facts and bend the truth.
It is one thing to state an opinion as if it were fact; it is quite another to merely seek the truth. In this matter, I question all things and remain open to all possibilities. However, my need to know the truth about what really happened on 9/11 will probably be appeased when a sufficient number of truly qualified architects and engineers are themselves satisfied that their questions have been answered. Until then, any reasonably curious, intelligent and objective person can't help to have question marks cluttering their minds concerning the events surrounding the sudden collapse of the world trade towers.

Without even speaking to the two tallest towers, it is obvious that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. I have training in structures, being a graduate in Civil Engineering. I have training in physics, having passed the rigorous curriculum at Ga. Tech. And it is obvious that building 7 came down at the acceleration that the force of gravity would require. That means that every connector that attached vertical members to horizontal connectors, at each floor level, had to give way completely, and simultaneously, such to bring down that building at the acceleration due to gravity. The 911 Report did not even address the spontaneous implosion of Building 7 at 5:20 PM on the afternoon of 911. The subsequent NIST Report issued years later, failed to explain it's conclusions, or at least failed to explain then in a manner that makes any physical or engineering sense. Therefore, in the interest of truth, and indeed of national security, a fair and impartial commission needs to be placed in charge of a new investigation. And sense the same engineering and physical concerns also surround the conclusions of the 911 Report that did deal with the twin towers, this investigation also needs to have the entire set of events of 911 as it's subject scope.

A peer reviewed journal describes thermite. There was literally negligible resistance on the way down, on a steel structure which had not incurred damage on lower floors. The other buildings nearly turned to dust. Something is amiss. I just want a more transparent and thorough investigation that doesn't rely on black box modeling.

To cut through steel to produce a free fall as these three buildings followed their own imprint, one would need a whole lot more exothermic heat than that supplied by mere flight fuel. That man-made THERMATE was found by chemical analysis and free-flowing molten steel lava was flowing for weeks after 9/11 reveals a FINGERPRINT that clearly identifies highly trained experts in the use of THERMATE & plastic explosives, eliminating the Muslims while finger pointing to an Inside Job ! To deny this after carefully reviewing the facts is to identify with the opposition against truth

The collapse, at the speed of a free-falling object, of 3 of the buildings the WTC complex was obviously not caused by the crashes of two airliners into the towers. Engineers trained on general aviation aircraft would not have been able to pilot the B767's with such an accuracy into the towers. Military-grade skills/training would have been required! In addition to all this, the WTC main towers had been designed to withstand the impact at full speed/paylload of B707. The various video recordings of the collapse of the three towers are the evidence of a controlled demolition.

Having watched a number of films on how buildings are brought down on their own footprints as a kid, my immediate reaction to seeing the towers fall was controlled demolition. Another question that came to mind, being a former Navy pilot and knowing SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) for hijacked aircraft, was where were the interceptors? That is a question that has never been adequately explained, to my knowledge.

The debris from the scene is far too small. The core of the structure should be found in large pieces. An investigation for a catastrophe of this size should consider all hypothesis and carried out by an independent, well funded team. The consequences effect all people in the world.

A lifelong interest in audio and acoustics led me to study both engineering (receiving a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering) and science (receiving a Masters in Mechanics, the physics of moving bodies). My Ph.D. research involved sound localization. so I have also studied various aspects of human perception and psychology.
The witness accounts of explosions and the official explanation of these sounds in the NIST report are impossible to reconcile. Justice demands an open commission inquiry into the numerous inconsistencies between documented facts and official explanations.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering, a B.S. in Engineering Physics. My emphasis has been on the seismic retrofit of existing structures for masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.
Buildings with localized damage to vertical structural elements (columns) cannot collapse globally and in a uniform fashion. This is a physical impossibility never once observed prior to 9/11/2001. Steel is a ductile material (it flexes, deforms, stretches, large amounts before fracture). In the case of all three WTC towers, ductile behavior is not observed. We see no large deformations of the columns prior to collapse. Instead, we observe sudden, catastrophic failure. No energy is dissipated through deformation. A free-fall collapse. Impossible in a structure where columns are not hinged (i.e. severed at the floors).

The collapses of all buildings appear to be controlled demolitions, particularly building 7, which was not impacted by a plane, did not catch fire, and was not otherwise compromised by heat damage. It was merely hit by falling debris, yet it collapsed, pancaking one level upon another. In comparison to other buildings which have toppled due to outside factors, one simply does not see the pancaking seen in the demolition of the WTC buildings. The official story is bunk!

It is an absolute scientific certainty that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were destroyed by energetic material (i.e. explosives) in a controlled demolition: all three buildings came down at nearly free fall acceleration, meaning that the gravitational potential energy from the weight of the buildings was entirely converted in kinetic energy. So the energy that pulverised all the concrete and cut all the steel beams and columns in mid-air necessarily had to come from something else. Only explosives can release that much energy in such a short time. Furthermore, the unnatural symmetry of the collapses requires a very accurate timing => it was a controlled demolition.

The video evidence suggesting controlled demolition is very persuasive. Further, I am a biomedical engineer with familiarity with the characterization techniques used in documenting the existence of nanothermite. Although the video analysis is persuasive, I think more independent studies of the tangible forensic evidence would be very helpful to the cause.

I chose to graduate in electrical engineering. I loved statics and dynamics and have learned to love chemistry as well. I learn science as a passion. After playing poker for a living over 7 years now, another passion of mine is learning about people; how they develop to be who they are, and how we interact with each other.
As a professional poker (think casino, not clicking a mouse) player, I know how to read people well. I think it's safe to say that most of the people in the Bush White house, as well as the leaders of NIST and the 9/11 Commision Report, are lying to us about what they know, or chose to not look into. I have seen lists of 15 items long of evidences of explosive, controlled demolition. For those guys to say they say NO evidence, and didn't even consider it an option, they are obviously lying. As a lover of science, I agree with all of the points made by Richard Gage and AE911truth.org I have pledged to be more influential in spreading this news to my friends for them to spread.

Clearly, the building steel and contents were pulverized/shattered by a powerful shock-wave which resulted form a detonation designed for such. This happens naturally in volcanic explosions, where granite is also pulverized into ash. The connection is very clear. Somebody developed the technology to harness this effect. Must be very classified.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

I believe that the buildings were set up for collapse by other means. The building 7 collapse is just the fatal piece of evidence that could have being found in US soil to prove it. The way the buildings collapses is a perfect scenario of demolition procedures that can be seen perfectly clearly with no structural education required. I mean that with simple logic you can state that it is impossible for a structure to fall the way it did without other means. Investigation of these acts has taken too long and fallen on deaf ears ... it is time for the people to stand and demand it...

I have designed many large structural projects over a 40 year span including such projects as a one million square foot industrial plant, largest oil and gas drilling rig capable of drilling to 25,000 feet below surface, and the largest freestanding steel cross standing 19 stories and weighing 2.5 million pounds (to name a few).
Engineering is the only exact science in the world -- we know how to erect structures and how to demolish them also. We do not practice engineering as the law and medical professions do. Without a DOUBT, these structures failed from a deliberate controlled demolition effort. There is not a tall slender structure anywhere that would fail in a symmetrical footprint mode like the 3 towers did unless it was designed to do so. Jet fuel combustion temperature would not even get close to the temps required to bring down the core columns of those structures (ASTM E-119 steel).

The question is all about investigation techniques: Look at the facts of the WTC, specifically Tower 7, collapses: 1) Terrorists used explosives on WTC 1 in 1993. 2) Over 118 first responders reported hearing explosions before all 3 collapses, many said it sounded like the 'bang-bang-bang' you hear during a demolition. 3) We have video, photographic and audio evidence of explosions after the impact and before collapse. 4) Live news was reporting multiple explosions, and the possibility terrorists also planted explosives. 5) Barry Jennings, the Emergency Coordinator for the NY Housing Authority reported explosions in Tower 7. He also reported being knocked down by explosions prior to the collapse of the tower. 6) Molten steel AND concrete were found at Ground Zero 'remember, hydrocarbon fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel or concrete.'N.F.P.A. 921- 19.2.4 Exotic Accelerants states that molten steel and concrete could indicate the use of exotic accelerrants, specifically Thermite. 7) WTC 7 was the first concrete and steel high rise to collapse during a fire that had not been struck by an aircraft. It was determined not to be significantly damaged by the falling debris, and diesel fuel tanks DID NOT contribute significantly to the fire (according to NIST final report 2008). So, with all these indicators, would you test for exotic accelerants/explosive residue/Thermite? How could you confirm or rule out the possibility that terrorists planted explosives in addition to the aircraft hits? Why does N.I.S.T. REFUSE to this day to test for exotic accelerrants in the most heinous crime in U.S. history? With the first high rise building collapses in history, why would N.I.S.T. NOT test for accelerants? Especially, with so many indicators, one in which we have lost so many lives, so many Brothers, so many Freedoms, and our Economy. I have not found a single fire investigator who can give a reason other than they didn't want to find exotic accelerants or they were incompetent! Well, if it was incompetence, we can go back and still test. If you can't answer why, then please take the time to investigate. Browse our website, and please sign the petition. Our communities trust us. If we let them know this is not how professionals investigate, or how we treat our Brothers and Sisters who gave so much, they will listen.

I know a controlled demolition when I see one. I lost a cousin who was working in the WTC.

If WTC7 were to have fallen due to a fire you would see each column collapse, setting up a chain reaction that would pull the others down with it. Instead what we see is a simultaneous collapse of the entire structure at free fall speed.

From day one, I did not believe that the fires could bring down those huge buildings. (WTC 1,2 and 7) It's very clear that they were destroyed on purpose. In the end, science and evidence can not be ignored.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

The WTC collapse being caused by planes is ridiculous! In the 1st semester of studies I learned about steel behaviour due to any influences, so it's really easy to discard the official explanation of fire being the cause.

It is an absolute impossibility for one skyscraper to collapse within its own footprint, especially within a dense major city, without the assistance of man... let alone three independent skyscrapers on the same day.

I am a retired Engineer. I have a BS and MS in Civil Engineering and a PhD in Engineering Mechanics. I have worked as a structural analyst in the offshore oil industry and as a viscoelastic materials expert working on the redesign of the Solid Rocket Boosters following the Challenger disaster. I have also been on the engineering faculties of the University of Illinois (1967-1970) and Mississippi State University (1970-1980).
It is utterly impossible for a modern, properly designed high-rise building to collapse due to localized fires of only a few hours duration. Steel buildings are required to have fireproofing material on all structural members which is designed to prevent the steel from experiencing severely high temperatures for many hours. I believe that a thorough finite-element analysis of all of the WTC buildings (pretty expensive analysis which I do not have the money or computer facilities to undertake) would demonstrate that no reasonable scenario would cause WTC7 to collapse symmetrically except the simultaneous failure of all columns as in a controlled demolition.
