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.

Occupation: Mechanical Engineer
I attended Penn State University from 2012 through 2016 where I studied Biological / Agricultural engineering with a focus on off-road mobile equipment. After obtaining my Bachelor of Science I began work as a project engineer at a global manufacturer of automation and motion control equipment overseeing the design and development of hydraulic valves. I spent approx 1.5 years in this role. My current position is a design engineer at a global manufacturer of off road and construction equipment. My role is again focused on fluid power and their integration into the vehicle systems. My professional role regularly involves traditional mechanical analysis of stress, fatigue and buckling of steel and aluminum components.
The physical evidence of the WTC destruction clearly discredits the official story of the US federal government. The list of this evidence is substantial but the following items in particular demand a new investigation into the crime: the free fall collapse of WTC 7, the discovery of active thermitic material in the dust, the presence of molten steel and concrete on site, and the atmospheric gasses indicating the use of explosives.

I have experience operating a 180 ton electric arc furnace melting steel and for the past 10 years working at an oil refinery. So I know what the temperature of steel must be to melt and the temperature at which fuel burns.
It's my opinion that right after those planes hit each tower the jet fuel burnt off (large ball of fire). It's impossible for jet fuel when burning to reach the temperature needed to melt steel. Why was their molten metal days and weeks after this event ? Buildings only free fall into their self's under CONTROLLED conditions. We can go to the bottom of the ocean and find the black boxes and piece a plane together, but they couldn't find one black box from the 9/11 event (PLEASE). What about building #7 no plane hit it...

There are too many unanswered questions about the physics related to how only the impacts of large airplanes caused WTC Buildings 1 and 2 to collapse (explode and melt). For example the melted steel beams would indicate use of thermite; and the many months of steel remaining molten in the ruins would indicate possible use of small (low radiation) nuclear weapons. How could only the jet fuel and kinetic energy of the collapse cause such intense heat (for months)? How could they cause the buildings to explode so far upward and outward? How could they cause so much of the buildings' concrete and steel to be pulverized (almost vaporized) into fine dust (2.5 microns)? Was the energy required to do all of this much more than that from the jet fuel and the kinetic energy from structural collapse? Basic physics principles (conservation of energy) do not appear to support the official story. What other sources of energy were involved? Also, there are many unanswered questions about how WTC Building 7 was destroyed; the official story was that small fires caused an internal column to buckle. However, all videos show it was an (obvious) implosion that was very level (i.e., level pancaking typical of engineered demolitions). So, did a demolitions team engineer and place the many explosives needed to cause its orderly implosion? If so, how did the team find the time and resources to do all of their work during the chaos on September 11? Or, was their work done before September 11, as a precautionary measure (for safe, controlled demolition) in case of attack? Hopefully a few brave, patriotic people will eventually address the many unanswered questions. If not, life will still go on, and the many good people of America will continue to improve our beloved nation.You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

I am not an architect or engineer, but a business analyst for more than 10 years. This work developed my skills to uncover gaps in information that are needed in order to make informed business decisions.
Although almost anyone can see holes in the official story, my training and experience as a business analyst has helped me identify areas that need further investigation. My top 3 questions I consider a new investigation will help answer are: 1. What was the origin and cause of the molten metal at the WTC buildings' rubble pile? 2. Why didn't the Pentagon surveillance video have any frames to help identify and confirm the aircraft crashing into it? 3. Why the collapse of the WTC7 building was not included in the 9/11 Commission Report?

I realized, after 2 hours of watching and listening to TV on 911 about the events at the WTC, that the discernible facts were not as described by the frivolous official statements and later stories. However and by whomever the actions were carried out and the patsies recruited, it was totally different than the official statements concluded and reports indicated. My current conclusions, based upon extensive reading, historical comparisons, physical and chemical analysis, discussions, lectures, and the viewing of available videos, as well as the political, military, and financial policies that have been undertaken since 911, all support my initial assumptions about the 911 events.

There are too many obvious 1st time in history events that occurred on 9/11. The chances for everything to line up from the Hijackers names not on the passenger lists to not finding the black boxes to buildings falling at free fall took a massive coordinated effort at many levels.

To me the collapse of building 7 defies the laws of physics in so much that it was not hit by any aircraft, sustained only minimal damage due to fire yet collapsed into its own footprint at almost free-fall speed.

There are so many bits of information on this subject that don't add up. Watch the John Lear videos on YouTube. He is a top pilot and all the evidence he gives makes me believe that this was done to start a war in Iraq. Read 'War is a racket' by General Smedley Butler to read why countries will always send soldiers to fight somewhere. Mass Governmental Corruption. You could see the bombs exploding on the films and why did tower 7 collapse? No explanation for this is there?

From time time I've encountered challenging information about the events of 9/11. I talk about information which doesn't fit to the official story. I talk about information which has been neglected in the official story. I talk about facts that many eye witnesses and scientists have pointed out. I talk about facts that will better explain how the buildings collapsed. A new research must be done on the scientific ground. All the facts that the official story has been unacceptable to explain must be taken on account. The real explanation must fit to evidence of facts.

It appears the World Trade Tower buildings fell in a manner impossible without additional assistance in the destruction of the core of the structures. The denial evident in the discussion of the the three towers' collapse along with the mind boggling explanation for the Pentagon explosion, can only invite skepticism and foster cynicism if not contempt.
