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 been a practicing Architect for 20 years and have designed numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings. More recently I've performed construction administration services for a new $120M high school campus including a $10M steel-framed gymnasium; managing construction documentation of a mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq. ft. of retail and 320,000 sq.ft. of high-rise office space - altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
The WTC Twin Towers and Building #7 appear to have been brought down, not by jet impacts and/or fires as we have been led to believe, but by controlled demolition with explosives. The evidence noted on AE911Truth.org and other excellent websites is prima facie and will, with the increasing public awareness and demand for the truth, result in a new truly independent investigation with subpoena power. A/E's must now become leaders for 9/11 Truth - Join Us!

I received my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CMU in 2010. Since then I've been a software developer.
My degree in engineering required an advanced knowledge of physics, but one doesn't need an advanced knowledge of physics to see that the official 9/11 story is physically impossible. One just needs to understand that there were rings of debris ~600 feet wide around the twin towers, in all directions, and that F=ma. That is, an object will only accelerate in a particular direction if there is a force applied to the object in THAT direction. Since gravity pulls objects downward, and since the debris flew radially outward in all directions at very high speeds, one can only conclude that there were strong forces propelling matter outward in all directions. That is, gravity was absolutely not the only force acting on this debris; there must have been explosives planted in the towers, and these explosives were responsible for the collapse of the towers. It's amazing and a little scary to me that the vast majority of people don't understand these basic physical principles. Or maybe they lack the ability to think critically enough to question claims that clearly violate physical laws that have been well established for centuries, when those erroneous claims are repeated enough times by enough people.

WTC building 7 is what alerted me that 9/11 might be an inside job. It is virtually impossible for a building to collapse in that manner with nothing but a common fire over a few floors. Additionally, the fire purportedly came from the twin towers but the surrounding buildings met with no such improbable ignition. What cinched it for me was the smoldering molten metal that lasted for weeks after the attack, pointing at the probable use of thermate.

People who accept the official conspiracy theory can argue that the twin towers had significant structural damage due to the impact of the aircraft, however no such significant damage was sustained by building #7. The controlled demolition of building #7 is the undeniable evidence that the attacks of September 11 2001 were the result of an inside job. The video record clearly shows the very top portion of building # 7 cave in despite the fact that the small fires many attribute as the cause of the collapse were many many floors below.

I was shocked when I saw WTC #1&2 collapse at near freefall acceleration, and I knew immediately that explosives had to have been used to remove the resistance of the concrete and steel BELOW the area where the planes hit.Then when I saw WTC #7 fall at free fall acceleration, I knew that there was a big problem with the official story. I am grateful that I am an engineer and have an analytical mind. I have been very disappointed with so many friends and family members who refuse to think for themselves and just blindly trust the government, even though the official story is easily refuted by using simple physics.

I went to Kamuzu Academy High School. I obtained my A-levels in 2013. I joined the University of Malawi, the Polytechnic to pursue an Honors degree in Civil Engineering majoring in Structures. Am expected to finish my studies in December 2018. My final year project is about steel design. The WTC being also in steel makes it a topic of interest.
Something queer remains, the mystery about the incident remains. An investigation was done but it did not answer some of the critical questions. My final year project is about steel design. The WTC being also in steel makes it a topic of interest. There is a need to answer these questions or to remove the doubt of foul play. It was a major investigation and the findings would help out in a lot of sectors that were involved, especially the built environment sector.

The official explanation of the the 9/11 WTC tower collapses does not answer many technical questions. Why did the towers hit by planes collapse? Why did WTC 7 collapse without being hit by a plane? Why did the towers collapse as if a planned explosive demolition was executed? How did temperatures inside the building reach levels that could melt steel? Why was the majority of material pulverized? A thorough, 3rd party investigation is needed.

In reference to 9/11, it is very clear to me that the buildings' total collapse could never have been caused by a plane hitting the building from one side, no matter how forceful the blow might have been. The collapse totally follows a designed demolition action, with the structural elements folding inside.

WTC7 didn't fall by three burning armchairs. No significant debris ever to be seen at the Pentagon. Two planes flying around without control through the worlds most secured airspace without authorities taking them down. BBC reporting about a fallen WTC7 before it fell. There is no further evidence required, that this whole story was a plot. There is only more evidence required, for whom to hang for it.

WTC7 fell out of sympathy. NIST failed to apply appropriate boundary conditions for the framing system in their model. Given the limited heat, presence of fireproofing, a catastrophic symmetrical failure with near free fall acceleration is physically impossible.

My first doubts came up when, on 9/11/2001, I saw the towers collapse for the third time, as with controlled demolition. When I later heard that 10% of the 30000 people who worked there had died, I was convinced that the official story was wrong.

Proud graduate of The City College of New York. If Professor Goshn taught us one thing right, it's the behavior of material under stresses.
Having a building collapse exactly the same way, 110 stories on top of each other, not once, but twice is like winning the lotto, twice, at the same machine, the same day. The probability of this happening is 2^220. In engineering, this is referred to as Controlled Demolition. If you look closely at the video footage, explosions occur on each floor before they collapse. I don't blame the public for believing the media, only few are equipped with the right set of skills to understand the behavior of material under stresses. Very sad to see a government deceive its people in this horrible way.

The official explanation of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 overlooks key evidence that absolutely should be incorporated into the investigation. The fact that building 7, with limited office fires in a relatively small portion of the building, collapsed instantaneously and symmetrically at the acceleration of gravity with almost no resistance at all from the concrete and steel below is alone bizarre enough to warrant further investigation. The investigation should be about truth and nothing else.

In review of the findings of the NIST Report and other independent investigations, and reviews concerning the failure of buildings in the 911 attack, there is sufficient reason to believe that the NIST Report is either incomplete or incorrect. As a matter of public safety, credibility and completeness of findings, an independent and Engineering study should be performed to either verify or correct the NIST findings.

I'm not a structural engineer, but I know enough to know that we're not getting the whole story here. The way that the buildings collapsed certainly looked like a controlled demolition. How is it that the buildings fell at free-fall acceleration and straight down, doing virtually no damage to any surrounding buildings (especially building 7, which wasn't even hit by anything)?

A solitary jetliner aircraft impact and ensuing jet fuel induced fire, in and of itself, would never cause the collapse of a skyscraper in the manner in which both towers fell. The photographic, video, and forensic evidence strongly contradicts the official explanation put forth in the 911 Commission report.
