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'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.

The building collapses have obviously not been correctly explained. Elements of the collapses that raise doubt on official story: Observed explosions in buildings 1 and 2 prior to collapse, speed by which large sections of steel were hurled horizontally out from collapsing buildings 1 and 2, fall times close to that of a free fall, very little fire observed in building 7 before collapse.

I'm a college graduate with a B.S. degree in Air Transportation Management. I started my flight training when I was 19 years old and got my private pilots license when I was 20. Over the last couple of years, I started learning about the Illumanati and conspiracy when I join the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps about two years ago. One of the members told me to look up the trilateral commission. From that point on, my whole view of the world changed.
Once the top part of the twin towers started to fall, they would of continued to tip to the side, then they would of fallen to the ground (that's common sense and basic physics). But, because of explosives below the fall line, the top of the buildings continued to fall straight down through the building with no resistance what so ever. Will someone please ask President George Bush, if he's so worried about Al-Qaeda and more attacks on America, then why are all of our borders wide open for anyone and/or anything to come across at anytime? Just after the attacks, our airports were secured with national guards and there was no debate about it. Yet, he and congress still debate to this day about closing and securing our borders. The reason they are open is because 9/11 was an inside job.

Freefall is deemed impossible unless 'assisted.' Secondary explosions were heard and reported by witnesses and are audible in recordings. Secondary explosions are visible in the new media footage of the collapse, always preceding the freefall collapse at the 'top.'

If you remove all coincidences of 9/11 and focus solely on the collapse of World Trade Center 7, what remains is still overwhelming evidence that the popular theory of the events of 9/11 is misleading and not at all based on true science. When you add in all other evidence, the popular theory of 9/11 becomes entirely unreasonable.

I first believed the official version of 9/11, but I was not aware of the downfall of WTC7 because all focus was on the twin towers. When, years later, I saw the video of WTC7 coming down, I began to become suspicious about the official story. I began to study more and more the events of 9/11. The more I studied, the more I got convinced that 9/11 was an inside job and that WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 came down by demolition.

I'm an aerospace engineer. This isn't just a conspiracy theory. The engineering of how WTC 7 fell is absolutely impossible. When I say absolutely I mean the numbers are 1 in a trillion likely. This is the only steel building to ever fall from fire alone in the history of humanity and that's because it wasn't really only fire. It had 26 columns. The fire would have had to melt all 26 columns within a second of each other in order to create the engineering situation that takes the building to the ground at the speed of freefall gravity meaning no resistance from the support beams while falling. This is not a conspiracy theory.....it is scientific fact. Who did it and why we may never know.... it was absolutely without a doubt brought down by demolition at 5 o'clock pm on 9/11.

Another field I specialized in throughout my career is in the field of In-flight Entertainment.
I could not believe that WTC Building 7, without being hit by an aircraft, fell/was demolished at lightning speed. This had to be a conspiracy to take down the entire building.

I studied electrical engineering at Sherbrooke University's coop program where I had a chance to get internships for an engineering firm specializing in institutional and commercial buildings, in the maintenance team for Sherbrooke University maintaining the electrical system for the entire campus, at a mining company working on the electrical system in the mine, and finally with a paper mill having similar responsibilities. After University, I found work as an assembler for my current employer assembling TEMPEST equipment for various government clients. After a year on the production floor, I was hired on the engineering team. Since then I have been designing TEMPEST equipment for the defense industry.
I was still at university on 9/11 and I remember the feeling of coming back home from class that morning and seeing the planes hit the buildings on TV... then seeing them collapse... over and over again...I remember seeing a quick news flash about WTC 7 which never made sense to me. No Plane, no official attack on it of any kind... really, no reason for it to fall. But, we went back to the reel of the planes hitting the two Towers and I kind of forgot about it. It was a few months later that I heard about it again and really started questioning it. I strongly believe that the demolition of WTC7 was planned and calculated. The only piece of the puzzle missing may have been a plane hitting it to give it a reason to fall. The evidence and the science behind it proves without the shadow of a doubt that there needs to be an independent study to finally find the truth on what happened to that building.

In 1993, Brian Thompson joined the local combination volunteer fire department, working beside Seattle firefighters and trained at the Washington State Fire Academy. Seven years later, he earned his undergraduate degree in civil engineering from Marquette University, including a 12-month internship in fire protection engineering at a consultancy in downtown Chicago. For the next 2 years he continued to work as a volunteer firefighter. Thompson then attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) where he earned his Master's Degree in Fire Protection Engineering. While at WPI, he attended Professor Jonathan Barnett's building fire safety lecture on the first anniversary of 9-11, in which Barnett describing his involvement and experience as a FEMA investigator, and their findings. Thompson's coursework also included fire dynamics, risk management and forensic analysis. He holds professional licenses in both Fire Protection Engineering and Civil Engineering in multiple states, and came into the role of Principal in 2006 practicing fire protection engineering design and consulting.
The lack of the FEMA team's ability to conduct a proper investigation of the original collapse conditions, the explanation developed by the FEMA team, and the subsequent contradictory conclusion by NIST, raised questions. In an effort to answer these questions, I have researched various information and data compiled by others. My research has left these questions unresolved, and reinforced my doubt in the official story regarding the cause of collapse for both WTC towers and Building 7.

I have a Masters degree, Cum Laude, in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I was also accepted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society. I have 30 years of diverse design and on-site experience in the engineering field. My most relevant credentials in contributing to AE911truth is my extensive experience in computer simulation of structures and mechanical components. My active membership in NAFEMS is also a testament to my interest in modeling and simulation.
I recently reviewed much of the documentation that AE911truth has supplied and also other sources. My conclusion, based on my engineering experience and intuition, is that structures that are struck in a random nature do not respond with the type of symmetry we see in the WTC towers collapse. In fact, if one were hypothetically tasked to collapse these towers as symmetrically as they fell, it would be nearly impossible, at least for someone without expertise in demolition or other advanced techniques.

I'm a professional engineer with over 40 years of experience. I'm currently licensed in three states: Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. My education and experience relate to the properties of materials used in building port, harbor, and bridge infrastructure. As a licensed civil engineer I have been trained and tested in competency related to civil engineering including structural design and the behavior of building materials. My formal education in engineering and related fields was at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. I was trained in arctic engineering in Alaska, where I worked on the Alaska pipeline project for Bechtel. My job included monitoring controlled demolition work to create a cut at the summit of the Brooks Range, in preparation for road and pipeline construction.
Like others who have commented I also have a huge question about how WTC building 7 came down later in the afternoon of September 11th. By visual observation, all three buildings exhibited free fall characteristics very similar to characteristics of a controlled demolition. Reviewing literature that described the structural members I have serious doubts regarding the free fall collapse of the interior columns of WTC 1 and 2 buildings over a distance of close to 100 floors as a result of a limited amount of jet fuel. It seems more likely that the majority of fuel burned quickly near the point of impact, consistent with other aircraft crashes. The huge fireball and black smoke observed shortly after the impact suggests the majority of fuel burned quickly and the fire became oxygen depleted. There was likely not enough fuel reaching the lower floors to cause a complete collapse of either building. There were reports of nanothermite in the dust, of molten steel in the basement, and of local fires burning for a week or more after the event. There were reports of multiple and sequential explosions. Some explosions were even reported prior to the impact of the aircraft. These facts all raise more questions about how the buildings may have actually been brought down.

For the last 15 years, I believed much of the US government's account of the events of 9/11. However, after actually taking the time to do my own research I became aware of a number of troubling facts surrounding that day and the days leading up to 9/11. However, what really began to raise doubts in my mind was the way in which the towers fell. Although, I had seen the footage many times before, I decided to take a second look at the collapse of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 not from the emotional or human perspective but through the eyes of an engineer/physicist. What I had failed to notice, even as an observer trained to examine events based on the laws of physics, was that all three buildings fell at near free-fall speeds with little to no apparent resistance from the floors below. This is physically impossible without the use of some form of controlled demolition charges. This realization shook me to the core and forced me to reaccess my world view and the version of history I had been given. I add my voice today to the many other scientist and engineers who are demanding the truth in hopes that if enough of us voice our concerns based on factual evidence and professional observation that the whole truth might be disclosed.

It's clear the planes didn't bring these buildings down. Explosions in the building's basement, falling at free fall, thermite residue found, steel columns cut at the bottom at 45deg angle, steel columns turned to liquid molten metal in no time and still be hot enough to keep this state days later... all of this is impossible for jet fuel. The BBC actually reported tower 7 fell 20 mins before it actually did! The hijacker's passports were found in the rubble completely fine when everything else was basically dust and debris'the list goes on and on.

BS Aerospace Engineering, University Colorado-Boulder, 1967; MS Industrial Engineering, University Pittsburgh, 1972; MA Mathematics, University Missouri-Kansas City, 1975; PhD Statistics, University Wisconsin-Madison, 1983. My PE license was obtained based on my MS in industrial engineering and 3+ years of industrial engineering experience as an officer in the US Air Force 1968-1973. I've been practicing in engineering statistics from 1982 to the present. I worked with Hewlett Packard, then taught Industrial and Systems Engineering at San Jose State. I consulted for the low emissions partnership of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, then with PDF Solutions in San Jose, CA. I was president of a start-up to do real time monitoring of engineering structures and am now with VivoSecurity, another California start-up. I'm the author of 2 books and 3 patents (plus one more pending). I have over 30 published technical papers, and my software is used all over the world.
The way building 7 collapsed (apparently in sympathy with the twin towers) raises huge questions about the official narrative. Reports of suppression of evidence for the earlier 9/11 commission as well as other evidence kept from the public from events decades earlier make it easy to question the official story.

Steel framed buildings do not collapse from fire. As video evidence, eye witness accounts, and laboratory evidence proved, towers 1, 2, and 7 were brought down by a premeditated, controlled demolition using explosives containing nanothermite. A segment of our government has lied to the citizens of the world. A complete, transparent investigation must be completed. Those guilty of murdering thousands of innocent people must be brought to justice.

I'm a degreed engineer (Mechanical Engineering Technology) with over 30 years of experience at a U.S. National Laboratory. I'm a certified project management professional with significant experience in facility decontamination and demolition. I am also a very experienced nuclear facility assessor and root cause analyst.
I watched live the afternoon of 9/11 when WTC 7 collapsed. Having been involved in controlled demolitions in the past it was immediately obvious to me that building 7 was a controlled demolition. It fell at free fall (or very near) speed in its own footprint without suffering significant damage. In addition, WTC 1 and 2 were observed with molten steel flowing from them. We are expected to believe that jet fuel and office furniture burn hot enough to achieve this; however, structural steel like that used in the construction of the WTC buildings would need to reach around 2800 degrees Fahrenheit sustained to change from a solid to liquid state. Jet fuel burns at around half that with the ideal air/fuel ratio.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering from Arizona State University, 1989. I'm a licensed Professional Engineer in Arizona, Wyoming, and Colorado and I've been a practicing consulting engineer since 1989. I've been involved in the design of many multi-discipline facilities for water and wastewater systems. I've overseen the construction of facilities since 1989, and prior as a construction worker.
It is inconceivable that the thee WTC buildings imploded, symmetrically, with complete obliteration due to a plane crashing into the north and south tower, respectively. Physics, engineering, architecture, and design code have never before, nor will they ever in the future, facilitate such uniform destruction without the benefit of controlled demolition. The general public is easily convinced that building failure can happen as witnessed; however, educated, trained, and experienced professionals know better.

I concur that WTC 7 resembled a controlled demolition. The complete, symmetric collapse of 3 buildings in one day is not plausible. The WTC 7 collapse was too obviously a controlled demolition. I watched all the 9/11 scenarios unfold, live on major news networks throughout the day.

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.
