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.

It appeared obvious as the event unfolded on the first day that the buildings could never have fallen as they did if a controlled demolition was not the cause. In addition I was immediately concerned that the incident would be used by our government to justify killing someone or attacking a foreign country.

My concerns with the Twin Towers lie in the inconsistency with the method of collapse, i.e. a symmetric free fall collapse, when damage incurred was asymmetrical - one would anticipate a toppling of the upper tower. - - Tower 7's collapse is not at all consistent with the collateral damage it received - it's collapse was as well completely symmetrical and within its footprint that is difficult to rationalize from asymmetrical damage and fire. - - It is my opinion that the official story falls well short of explaining what happened on 9/11 and further investigation is required.

The laws of physics also apply on 9/11. The way WTC1, WTC2 and Building 7 collapsed cannot be explained by just the impact of planes and fires. The video footage available (showing almost freefall) and other evidence clearly points to controlled demolition, a hypothesis that should be thoroughly investigated. The symmetrical nature and large portion of freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

It is really Doesn't make any sense for me as a structural engineer working in the field of progressive collapse and blast analysis that the towers specially WTC 7 collapse in that way. I've been working in demolition industry for years now and i can see that this is a controlled demolition case.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, Canada and eleven years of professional experience. Currently I am a senior engineer for a Danish company that makes wind turbine blades. I am part of the Composite Mechanics group that is responsible for determining and documenting the mechanical properties of the materials and substructures that are used in the blades. I am also currently attending a masters level fracture mechanics course at DTU (Danish Technical University) in order to become more specialized within my field. Previously I have worked in Vancouver, Canada with hydrogen fuels and their cooling and exhaust gas dilution systems and in Melbourne, Australia as an engineer designing industrial wheels and castors.
From my understanding of solid mechanics, I don't see how a steel constructed skyscraper can collapse under it's own weight at near free fall speed within it's own footprint. Steel is a ductile material and a space frame construction that is overloaded in compression will bend, buckle and twist, but will remain essentially as one structure. In my opinion, the failure mode observed for the twin towers can only be explained by a series of controlled explosions.

It would require very specific conditions for any structure to fail in a completely symmetrical fashion the way the buildings in New York failed on 9-11. Society as a whole needs an explanation for these events to prevent it from happening again.

The previous investigation into what happened on 9/11 is inadequate and flawed. There is significant evidence that a controlled demolition occurred and the evidence was then covered up or ignored. Regardless of who is responsible for this aspect of the 9/11 attack, the American people deserve to know the truth.

Three buildings came down in a demolition fashion that day, and one was not even hit by a plane. The odds against all these spontaneous demolition free falls caused by fires is staggering and unbelievable. Especially WT7 coming down demands an investigation that considers the demolition option. Also, molten metal POURING out of the WTC is a huge ignored clue as to the presence of thermate destruction.

The official version never made sense to me. I anticipated that explosives would have been required just by hearing a description of the collapse on 9/11/2001. Quick calculations I made based on conservation of momentum trying to convince people the official explanation was false gave a 120 second collapse time for a gravitational collapse & 35mph to 60 mph lateral mass ejections which are not possible if only gravity driven. Newton's 3rd Law required the complete destruction of the falling top of the towers that should have left 60 stories of intact buildings standing after a gravitational collapse ended. Energy available from a gravitational collapse was insufficient to explain all features of the actual collapse. Core columns could be seen disintegrating in sections after the collapses ended. Steel frame buildings, by design and properties of materials, could not fail from oxygen-starved hydrocarbon fires. The buildings were designed to withstand airplane collisions of the 757/767 class and had withstood natural forces far greater over the life of the buildings. In short, I'm an engineer and understand the laws of physics and the official explanation violated at least 1/2 dozen of them.

In my country in the 1980s, terrorism did much damage; thousands of attacks left 70,000 victims. Part of it was also state-sponsored terrorism.

When the Events of 9-11 took place, I was 13 years of age, and did not fully feel the gravity of the situation. Upon reviewing footage of the tower collapses, they appear to be too clean of a collapse to not take further investigative actions. In any situation, there needs to be a third party, non-biased investigation. I did not think twice about how the towers collapsed until i stumbled upon AE911truth and saw the comparison videos and design professional testimony. With such a National Impact, every question should be answered, and investigated to explore every possibility.

I have researched this subject from several perspectives, and have not been satisfied with the offical theory of the 9/11 attacks. I am unsettled on several issues, the first being our government's reaction to 9/11, followed by statements made about 9/11 by our president and the news media. Then i began learning of the national security protocols being violated at the time of the incident. Now, with more disclosure of the engineering of the collapse, all things considered, there are many questions to be answered before the official account is believable
The engineering data, the government operations data, the political reactions, none of these are accountable. There is more to the story!

The explanations expressed by the authorities responsible for investigating what happened at the twin towers do not meet the minimum criteria of the laws of physics, mainly in relation to radical crumbling concrete, consider the use of explosives evident outside the aircraft.

Obvious from simple physics and materials properties that legitimate science is being discredited and/or suppressed, perhaps following the premise that America cannot handle the truth. This belief was recently reinforced by the 2011 campaign to memorialize this lie by the sending of scrap metal to towns throughout Colorado.

Video evidence alone reveals that official story is corrupted. Anyone who has actually viewed the abundance of problems with the official story, couldn't honestly say they accept the official story. Molten steel coming out of tower before collapse is a dead giveaway of thermite.

Born in Iran, came to US in 1976 at age 10. Received BSME in 1992. mainly do structural related mechanical engineering work. Have been very vocal about the events on 9/11/01 since 9/11/01. It has been the most painful event in my life, has caused me incredible grief and set me back in life, but I believe that if the real truth about those events does not surface, there will be no healing, and the world will be destined to lose its humanity and self destruct completely.
From the time that I watched the planes hit the towers that Tuesday morning, I completely believed that those planes could not maneuver themselves that accurately without the level of expertise that only the military of united States can have. The fact that the height difference between the first and second tower impacts was considerable, the mass of the building in the first tower hit above the impact point had to be on the order of 1/3 to 1/2 that of the second tower. That mass difference should have manifested itself in different crash behavior, yet both towers collapsed in exactly the same manner! Building 7 was so obviously demolished by internal explosive that the government story was never anything by a comic farse to me. God bless those brave enough to not let the true perpetrators get away with what they have done to this planet and this humanity.

The more I inquired, the more I discovered that the official version was not credible. In 2007/2008, I did extensive research. I have read over 20 books related to 9/11. I watched movies on the internet. The shock was to visit ae911truth. Indeed, as an engineer I was looking for objective data and I found them! Also I looked carefully at the officials documents, mainly reports of NIST. To find the official explanation of the collapse of the towers. I was really angry, because there was no explanation! Only: And then the towers collapsed as the videos show ... Incredible! And even more when I discovered the case of WTC 7... I wrote a report (33 pages) which I entitled Indecent Proposal - Reopen 9 / 11 Report. I sent this document to my contacts, friends, family, etc... I was and now I am even more convinced that the official story is a lie. But I wanted to understand the why. I then continued my reading and my investigation: R. Heinberg - Mr. Chossudovsky - etc. And also the movie Oil Smoke & Mirrors. To find the last missing piece of the puzzle: the geopolitics of energy. I just finished the last book of D. Ray Griffin and I am currently reading one of Peter Dale Scott, who confirmed my convictions. Now I never see the world as I saw it before September 11, 2001 ...

I am retired from Saudi Aramco where I was a Loss Prevention Engineer for 12 years. I conducted several major industrial investigations at Saudi Aramco. Previously I was an investigator with a forensics engineering firm in Kingwood, TX (1993-1997), a research engineer with Amoco in Naperville, IL (1985-1992), and a design engineer with UOP in Des Plaines, IL (1972-1981). (Between 1981 and 1985 I was at Northwestern Univ completing my MS and PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering.)
I was always more skeptical about the collapse of WTC7, i.e., as compared with WTC1&2 which pancaked down. WTC7 seemed essentially whole in its upper floors, as it fell, indicating failure of support columns lower in the building. However, after reviewing ae911truth films, I'm now no longer so sure about WTC1&2, i.e., thermite/thermate evidence. I certainly would support an unbiased thorough investigation. I would volunteer to be on it, but I have a strong bias after my years in the Middle East, i.e., very much anti-Israel, which could hurt the investigation.

The big key when trying to educate a novice, it seems to me, is the collapse of Building 7. So few have even heard of it, and they are startled and initially incredulous when you tell them of it. This gets their attention and provides the titilation that encourages them to listen further.

Trained beyond MTQ2 in the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps. Possess a broad knowledge of military armaments, explosives & demolition technology. A recent graduate who designs Open-Source Hardware, but not currently employed by an engineering firm, partially due to conscientious objections to work available.
To me it is obvious both by physical intuition and training that dropping the top 10-15 floors of a circa-100-floor steel-framed building onto the rest intact below can not possibly cause the entire structure to collapse under its own weight, regardless of how much fire is blazing in the building. If nothing more had happened in Manhattan on the morning of 11/9/2001 than airliners each hitting those floors of WTC buildings 1 and 2, it is possible that sustained fire could have allowed the remaining beams supporting the top section of either building to buckle, and for said section(s) to fall to one side into the street below, but nothing more. Within the present spectrum of human knowledge, such a complete collapse, nearly symmetrical, near free-fall speed, can only be achieved using controlled demolition.

It seems to me that the version given does not correspond to what we saw on TV. Buildings fall like that when imploded.
