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.

A land surveyor often stakes offices and other large buildings and we sometimes monitor these and adjoining buildings during construction. Any observant person can see the redundancy in the building construction.
No single column failure would result in a catastrophic collapse. All three buildings fell into the path of MOST resistance, not least resistance. This is impossible without removing the resistance. This is why there has been no record of a steel framed building collapsing in the way the three Manhattan buildings collapsed. Close up views of the North Tower show the building disintegrating above the impact area and the top of the building is descending while the portion of the building below the impact is not moving, proving that a demolition is taking place. The South Tower is tilting into the path of least resistance and suddenly it collapses straight down into the path of greatest resistance. The North and South Towers were hit at greatly different heights leaving the South Tower with substantially more weight above the impact area than the North Tower, yet somehow the physics of this great (crushing) weight did not accelerate the collapse of the South Tower in any significant way over the North Tower. Building No. 7 is clearly, without a doubt, a controlled demolition. The fact that if there was not foul play then those in control of the investigations and the Justice dept would have no qualms in allowing a fully independent investigation. In fact, if they are as innocent as they claim, a fully independent investigation would exonerate them. This was about the Caspian Sea and the oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan and the uncooperative Taliban who were opposing the CentGas pipeline.

In this position, I focus on electrical distribution system analysis for power systems ranging from 208V to 115kV. I am presently studying to take the New York State Professional Engineer examination to earn my license.
I was a sophomore in high school in September of 2001. At the time, I did not really attempt to better understand the events any further than the basic information the media was providing. This changed in early-2012 when I was part of the electrical engineering team working towards approval from Con-Edison for energization of the new WTC2. As I watched the progress being made on the new WTC complex, I felt that I needed to go back and better understand what had really happened on 9/11. As I began research on the topic, I quickly came to the realization that the official explanation did not make sense. I am very interested in pursuing this personal research further and am grateful that I came across A&E 911 Truth. I feel this is a fantastic organization which is asking all of the right questions!

Occupation: Fractal Artist
In my former life as an obsessive/compulsive banjo picker, I worked at different jobs to support my music habit, including a few stints in the construction trades. As a union carpenter, I worked on various state-of-the-art steel and concrete structures, including two high rises. Tn the course of gaining this experience, I've seen these materials subjected to diverse stresses and I have an understanding of the energy required to reduce cured concrete to powder and to deform and/or cut steel beams.
Have you ever seen someone break up, say, a section of sidewalk with a sledge hammer? Note that the hammer has a metal head. What would happen if we were instead to affix a piece of the sidewalk itself onto a long handle and use it to try to bust up a bigger section? Common sense and Newton's third law of motion both tell us that this kind of hammer head would itself shatter in the process, and long before the task could be completed. By this basic logic we can see at once that NIST's explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers is a silly canard. The notion that a small section of a high rise can, in two cases, fall upon the much larger, sturdier sections below and so thoroughly destroy them is a fantasy. That's my argument against NIST's theory: The kinetic energy of the small sections is insufficient to wreak the kind of damage observed. Based on the active thermitic residues that are pervasive in the dust of the towers, logic promotes explosives as the strongest candidate for squaring up the huge deficit in the energy accounts.

I really didn't suspect any thing was wrong when the buildings collapsed. Not being an engineer, or a building contracted, I didn't know what signs to look for. Or why I should be looking. It's when I looked at the Pentagon, & didn't see a plane, is when I started to ask questions. How could a plane with a wing span of more than 100 ft. Fit into a hole 60ft. across. Besides WHERE IS THE PLANE?

It is just too obvious that the two Towers were bombed from the inside with explosives planted there previously. There's simply too much evidence. Building #7 fell the same way, ordered to be pulled by the owner. Same collapse pattern as the Towers. Osama Bin Laden denied having anything to do with 9/11, but was pleased that it happened. Yet a war against Bin Laden and the al Quaida was launched anyhow, much like the invasion of Iraq and the killing of Saddam Hussein.

Looking at and listening to the TV broadcast, it just amazes me that the destruction of the Towers was said to have occurred due to burning jet fuel?! I am not an engineer, but I have seen buildings brought down with the use of controlled demolitions, falling into their own footprint. Also, Larry Silverstein, lessor of the WTC buildings, said on camera..we decided to pull-it referring to Building 7.

The implications are what send us all reeling with a tidal wave of emotions. The truth needs to be told and the facts being revealed by the scientists, architects and engineers will lead us to the truth. Many people had to be involved for this to be done so precisely. One of the first questions that came to mind for me was who would have access to nanothermite in such quantities required to collapse the towers? Someone will talk.

The political climate is a big disappointment especially the way the government is running the country. I too was dissatisfied t the way the government investigated the 9/11 incident. I agree, an independent group should do the REAL unbiased investigation, although I know the government will try to evade the issue and cover up will continue. I do not trust our government and because of that I feel betrayed. The illuminate, masons and their cronies are behind this incident. They will not stop until the one world government campaign is in existence. With everyone doing there share in exposing their dirty scheme we will eventually proclaim victory but that might mean bloodshed. Like the saying goes, ie; our government is not elected, they are selected. As long as corruption pervades within our government, peace will never be attained.Let us hope the new commission that will investigate will put light to our embarrashing man made 9/11 crisis.

From the research that I have done, including my background in science and energy technology, I have always had doubts about the official story of how the Twin Towers collapsed. After viewing the events that occurred on 9/11 a number of times, it makes more sense to me that the buildings came down as a result of several controlled demolitions and/or via the use of advanced energy weapon systems.

I do not have a science degree. I have only one year at a university. When I first heard about others doubting the validity of the story of 9/11 I felt relief. I have since researched the growing amount of information that many experts have come forth with. It seems obvious that the science and well as the visual evidence does not support what we have been told.
As I watched the coverage of the events of 9/11 I had an intuitive distrust of the information provided by the media and the government. The questions that I thought should be obvious to ask were not asked. The photographs and news videos that were released did not support what was being reported. While the coverage was horrific to watch, the highjacking story was too improbable to be real.

My main concern is that state and federal laws were broken in relation to crime scene or air crash scene investigations. All the steel from the site was being sold as scrap within days of 9/11 when it should all have been photographed logged and stored for analysis. - - - - The commission also stated that investigations for the use of explosives were not made as there were no witnesses who said they heard explosions when in fact countless NY firefighters said on TV they heard explosions.

Why do controlled demolition engineers other spending weeks to carefully prepare high-rise buildings with explosive charges and steel cutting charges when they can just use a few hundred litres of kerosene? 2) Why do foundrymen and materials engineers have to use expensive induction furnaces, blast furnaces or arc furnaces to melt steel, if they can melt steel with some kerosene (jet fuel) which is much cheaper? Think about it! 3) Why is it that engineers design motorcycle and car engine pistons and cylinders using iron and alloy steel, if these components are constantly exposed to FIRE AND COMBUSTIONS? 4) Why is it that our cooking pots, frying pans and Barbeque hot plates are made out of steel, and have you noticed any of these melting or sagging due to direct exposure to gas flames or air fires? Try it! See if you can get liquid molten iron from a jet-fuel air fire! See if you can even melt a piece of aluminium foil (melting point 650 C) in an air fire, using as much fuel as you like, for as long as you like. 5) Name ONE steel-frame building that caught on fire and collapsed all the way down to the ground levels!... Out of the dozens of skyscraper fires in the last 100 years, JUST NAME ONE TALL STEEL BUILDING that was TOTALLY destroyed, due to fire and gravity alone. 6) Try to get powderized concrete just by burning it with jet fuel fire! Anyone feel like doing such tests? More food for thought: Fires that kindled from the fuel in the planes were too shortlasting and weak to be able to severely damage the structure of the skyscrapers. Even in the extreme situation, the heat from a kerosene fire cannot threat the durability of a steel trunk. With the temperature of carbohydrate fires that reaches only 825C (approx. 1517F) steel weakens at 800C (approx. 1470F) and melts at 1585C (approx. 2890F). In the skyscrapers of the WTC the surroundings were not at all ideal as there were far too many steel columns and they led heat away from the burning area. WTC 1 burned for 102 minutes and WTC 2 for 56 minutes only. A fire burning much longer, from 10 to 20 hours, could slowly increase the burning temperature down to perhaps 1100C (approx. 2010F). Provided there is more substance to burn, such a fire will damage concrete and irons, but not severely heavy steel constructions.

Well I'm no engineer. But I am a builder who has worked with steel beams. And I bet they're a lot smaller than the WTC beams.
Well... How can a plane cleanly cut through external steel beam walls and the floors without the planes wings, engine or tail piece snapping off? Or a decline in acceleration when the planes hit the building? Even if the plane did cleanly cut through the external walls, there's no way it would cut through the floors!.. Look at the floors in a high rise car park for an example. I can't see a plane slicing trough concrete and steel floors. And then, WTC 7. What a joke, ay! Office fires!!lol Next time I need to bring a building down i'll just light some office fires and it should come down at free fall speed like the WTC 7.. Right!?? And the Pentagon, what another joke, they're trying to tell us that a plane hit the building!!!lol Well that's one rather small looking hole for a plane!! And there were no marks on the grass, no wing or tail marks, or in fact not even wings and a tail piece to be found!! All a bit fishy to me!!! Let the truth to come out!!

I was aware of the third building collapse without being hit by a plane and was shocked that this was not even mentioned in the 9/11 report. In a program that I saw regarding the collapse of all three buildings, more than 70 credible scientists and engineers said they believed the evidence pointed more towards buildings collapsing in the manner of a demolition, not by a plane crash. They were investigating some of the debris from the site which they thought may prove that it comes from a demolition. I would like to see a truly impartial investigative panel filled with scientists, engineers, etc. delve into the facts about 9/11 more thoroughly than the first report, that did not even mention the third building collapse.

The question is no longer: could the 3rd building have collapsed by extreme heat or the trembling caused by the collapse of the other 2 buildings? Because simply we all know better than that, we don't buy those lies anymore, we are being lied to beyond belief. The question is: did they (the ones that are truly responsible for 9/11 drama) use explosives? You can bet on that. (no irony involved here). Was there possibly something else besides basement-level explosives. Could very well be.

Some engineering background. Have watched several documentaries on building being demolished.
In my observation of the film that I have witnessed of the 9/11 event and my limited knowledge of the construction of the Twin Towers, the buildings would have withstood the crash of the jet airliners. The only conceivable account for the buildings to implode would be to set devices used in demolition. There would be need of thermal charges to melt or cause the large steel vertical beams to bend. It appears to me many loose ends that really do need to be accounted for.

I am suspicious about the nature of the collapse of all 3 trade center buildings. I am also suspicious about the fact that no fighter jets were present. I am also suspicious that there seems to be no evidence for the planes at the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. I have watched many documentaries regarding 9/11. I have just watched the experts opinions truth video, which leaves me feeling very concerned.

I was born in Germany and raised in switzerland. I'm 44 years old and work as a typographer at a small print shop. Before that I was working in a multimedia firm and made 3D animations, web designs and video editing. Examples of my work can be seen at my website.
I was on vacation on 9/11 and watched CNN 24/7 after it happened. Observing how the two Towers and especially Building 7 fell convinced me right then and there that something fishy was going on and that the official report can't possibly be true.

Son of an engineer who retired from a career in management at Otis Elevator and rode on top of the cab up the Space Needle, I am nearly retired from a career in construction which included work on many high rise buildings and has evolved into a residential handyperson service. In addition, I have in recent years been a student of Reiki, or life force energy, as well as a reader of Yes Magazine and follower of David Korten, most recently advocating his essay, Science, Religion, and Spirit: A Sacred Story for Our Time. I live in a peaceful wooded setting and manage the filling of 6 bird feeders.
From the onset viewing on TV I have been aware of many inconsistencies in the official reporting of this tragedy.
