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've studied modern architecture and skyscraper design and passed several structural engineering courses in college; the official 9/11 story seems unlikely. I've also studied studied politics and history, and as a member of the US military I have serious reservations regarding the official reported causes of 9/11. Even if the attacks were totally unexpected, and there was no civil defense plan for such events (like NY airbases or ground-to-air missiles), and there were no CIA or other black operations involved, we should still ask some questions: How did the towers collapse straight down as though planned to minimize damage to surrounding buildings? Why was the debris removed so expediently? Was it embarrassment? Quick cleanup to save our suffering the images of burning towers? Was it too expensive to renovate the buildings later? To avoid controversy and investigation they were removed from view asap, but by whom? FEMA? The building owners? There are many unanswered questions, from the Bush - bin Laden connection, to the FEMA - tower connection. Even if one structure failed from the attacks, the chances that all three buildings would pancake seems like nonsense. Perhaps one could pancake for multiple stories, but at a point the consistent fall would become lopsided due to the probability of resistance from numerous structural members, and develop a natural tilt. This tilt would produce torque, or rotational movement about points, and the laws of physics would tend to bring the forces down in faster ways to the sides, rather than through the entire strength of the remaining body of the building firmly rooted by numerous supports, including a central concrete elevator and stair core, and on a solid foundation.

I am a medical device engineer who analyzes failure. I have many years of engineering experience, and was long dismissive of the 9/11 truth movement, until I came to grips with the horrible, overwhelming evidence that it was indeed an inside job. The least I can do is sign this petition, which asks the essentially complicit Congress to reopen the case.

I have 10 years of experience in the construction industry as an architect, mostly in conservation (as well as sustainable architecture). Conservation necessitates looking at old buildings and existing evidence of what happened in the buildings life. Looking at how buildings deteriorate or fail sometimes and assess method of rescue, reuse, adaptation and so on, is part of my everyday livelihood and experience.
Looking at the evidence of the 9/11 it makes me question what the media and government had broadcasted at the time, and that the debris was swept away so quickly without scientific investigation is not right. We need to learn from the experience, not run away from it. If we are to protect people's lives in the future, we need to know what the real destruction process was, how any aspect could be improved (whether it is building design/layout, engineering or security... ) and not let the distraction of the crashing planes play smoke and mirrors with us. Facts, for better understanding. Truth, for building a better future.

Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means.

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.

There are so many flaws in the media biased 'published truth'. Ranging from the disappearance of 'indestructible' Black Box Recorders, the blatant demolition of WTC 7 (wrongly announced by BBC). However the collapse of the WTC 1&2 due to 'Fire' defies belief, both intuitively and professionally! This was a pre-emptive strike against the U.S people to perpetuate the feeling of fear and to justify 'The War on Terror' against foreign countries including, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine & eventually (sadly) Iran. In ending, if you end imperialism, you end terrorism.

Occupation: Engineer (Retired)
Degreed as a chemical engineer in June 1965, in a French engineer school. I prepared a thesis on a physical chemistry subject until obtaining a graduate Docteur-Ingenieur in january 1970, at the university of Lille. The main results of my work were published in 'Le journal de physique' (French scientifical journal about physics) in march 1971 under my name and that of my bosses. After that educational period, I joined the steelmaking industry for my whole career. I worked much of the time for french USINOR group and finally during some years for the german THYSSENKRUPP when this company bought some parts of USINOR activities. I retired in May 2002. During my career, my job was about liquid steelmaking (special converters AOD for stainless steel) and hot rolling. I was a good specialist of reheating slabs of very special steels at a temperature as high as 2550 'F ! I've got a medal from the french steelmaking technical association (ATS - Association Technique de la Sid'rurgie fran'aise) for that job.
Concerning the 9/11 events, I am absolutely convinced that the softening of any of the inner columns of the WTC under a fire is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. These colums were similar in shape with the slabs that I had to reheat from the room temperature to that of hot rolling mill. Flames, as high as they can be, are unable to heat the metal in the whole thickness. As a matter of fact, to reheat a 10 inches thick steel slab, it takes a least 3 hours in a very special hot rolling furnace. The system is very close to the theoretical black body (radiation is the main heating process, despite the type of fuel used). This furnace demands two complete days of preheat to be operating. And, naturally, the slabs are not insulated as the colums of the WTC.

Aerospace Engineer by day. Awake to the tragedy of 9/11 being set up as a controlled demolition of 3 buildings.
WTC 7 was the THIRD building to fall on 09/11/2001. The FACT that it fell at the rate of free fall gravity shows NO INTERNAL RESISTANCE; That is to say that Structural beams were cut prior to collapse. And this explains WTC 7's collapse.

When I first saw the events on that day, I thought, for sure, there had to be explosives used in the towers. I was disgusted that it took so long for an 'investigation' to take place. The 'investigation' did not uncover any truth about the events. I have lost much faith in the way our nation operates.

I have a Master's degree (German 'Diplom') in Materials Science and Technology and can therefore relate very well to the vindicated doubts many people have about the official 9/11 story.
I studied and learned lots about materials' properties, how they behave, what stresses and temperatures they can resist, etc. I also know about the laws of physics, as well as the mechanics of materials and structures. No building can just fall to the ground at the speed of fall, nor can megatons of steel and concrete just be turned into dust WITHOUT the help of explosives!

After watching two of the videos on this website, and deliberating carefully and scientifically about the evidence provided, I have little doubt that the official NIST report findings were inaccurate and believe that there is a high probability that all three buildings collapsed due to controlled demolition via detonation of explosives. A comprehensive and fully independent study into the 9/11 WTC attacks should be carried out for the sake of all Americans to ensure that justice is done, especially for the sake of all the victims who died that day and their loved ones.

On review of the science, the only possible explanation for the 3 tower's collapse on 9/11/2001 is from a controlled demolition.

After completion of the bachelor degree, he gained experience in Industrial Automation and Project Management of power plant renovation and modernization. Due to learning curiosity, after the gap of 3 years, he pursued Master of Science in Advanced Electrical and Electronic Engineering from (Leicester, UK). There he gained an in-depth understanding of industrial machine and 'system engineering and spacecraft systems'.
Based on the evidence available and the knowledge of engineering, it is concluded that WTC destruction was a planned demolition, conducted by powerful authorities who have the access to the building and explosives supply. Further investigation needs to be conducted and moreover, the US Government has the duty to provide all the available evidence to the experts for examination.

The near perfect free fall seen in all of the public videos and live TV coverage I've watched since the event occurred, can be fully explained only by analysis of a controlled demolition using thermite. The cover-up by the US government seriously damaged the trust of American citizens but also is a security risk to us as now other countries realize the US does NOT stand up for truth and justice. The WORLD deserves the TRUTH....NOW!

I received a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I have since worked in the automotive and medical device industry in quality.
The most compelling argument for the systematic and engineered destruction of the Twin Towers is the rate and direction of the fall. The buildings seem to undergo no internal resistance. Watch videos of failed demolitions and you will see what happens when buildings receive an isolated impact. Even when the detonations stop half way down the building, the remaining structure is relatively unharmed and remains standing. It takes impeccable timing and precise detonations to achieve what was witnessed on 9/11. The fall of building 7 doesn't even merit a scientific argument for why it wasn't engineered for demolition.

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

If any body falling should reach -9.8m/s2 acceleration in vertical direction for any time interval during collapse( 1second)..there were no opposing forces to slow acceleration of collapse..thus deducing the supports of WTC7 were taken out before the -9.8m/s2 acceleration could be achieved..

I witnessed on live television the smoke of the first of the Twin Towers to be struck, and then witnessed the striking of the second tower. In my head were the words, ''They went and did it.'' They being nefarious, behind the scenes, persons and clandestine groups/societies that I have followed the histories and activities of for many years. The ''free fall'' collapsing of the towers and the subsequent likewise collapse of Building Seven were obvious controlled demolitions. I have taken ''heat'' for being one of those ''conspiracy guys'' for years. I have been taunted many times with the mantra, ''Oh - you think our government did it.'' I have never accused our government, however, I am disappointed in their lack of forensic investigations and conclusions. This attack was a huge false flag that, thank God, did not topple our republic.

WTC7 clearly has discrepancies in the official study, and there were poor engineering assumptions by the 911 commission.

I've seen entirely too much evidence and controversial materials that demand further scrutiny and investigation into the horrific and tragic events of 9/11/01, specifically involving the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Allow a re-opening of the investigation immediately and with the full bi-partisan support of Congress so that America can define it's actions going forward with a clear understanding of our enemy.

Missing evidence of the plane which allegedly crashed into Pentagon, almost free fall of WTC1&2, controlled demolition of WTC 7, and missing videos for hitting of the Pentagon.... are all problems with the official mythology.

I have a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from the American University of Beirut and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. I am licensed since 2010 to practice civil engineering (with a detailed knowledge and experience in geotechnical and structural engineering). I have spent the first half a decade as a PE in Haiti after the Jan 2010 Earthquake that devastated the country and I have seen hundreds of structural failures of all types and due to many causes.
I have seen CCTV footage of a structure collapse at free fall speed due to earthquake induced ground floor column failure and it is very similar to the free fall experienced by the trade center. The difference is that the slabs usually remain in tact and follow the structure to the ground in a 'pancake ' ' style, not turn to dust and send the disintegrated slabs airborne. The supporting substructure must have been compromised to cause the witnessed free fall failure mechanism. The causes of that support loss must be empirically demonstrated as one possible explanation IS controlled demolition and that cause has very grave criminal consequences.

There are too many unanswered questions and the report of the investigation is below standard and does not address many of the questions that have been raised. A full review and detailed public inquiry is required. This has affected the entire world and it needs to be fully investigated in a professional manner and the criminals brought to justice. The USA Has lost significant credibility over this event, the investigation of which was a sham.

I have a B.S. in civil engineering, and I am a licensed civil engineer in the state of California. I practice in the field of structural engineering, on both new designs and retrofits.
Even to a layman, the collapse of WTC 7 looks exactly like a building demolition. If I prepared a report on a structural failure and didn't justify my results and provide full data and calculations, models and tests, I would probably get fired. Yet NIST got away with this in their report on WTC 7. A truly scientific study on the collapse of tower 7 with peer review and no agenda or political bias should be performed.

I have not personally put my hands on any of the material evidence. I have viewed many of the publicly available videos and heard countless eye witnesses describe of what happened that day and it is abundantly clear the conclusions drawn by NIST has ignored this evidence in their investigation. A new truly independent WTC investigation needs to happen with the involvement of law enforcement.

The cover-up is absolutely appalling. The truth must be exposed, and those responsible held accountable.
