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.

The appearance of the collapses and the lack of sufficient momentum to cause the rapid global collapse seen below the points of impact of Towers 1 and 2, imply that some type of planned demolition took place in those buildings. The collapse of WTC 7 was clearly a planned demolition.

The symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I have reviewed the government 9/11 report and media footage. In my opinion the government story is simply not credible. Unfortunately, the physical evidence has been destroyed, leaving us to determine who ultimately benefited from this terrorism. This is how any competent criminal investigation would begin from this point forward. Further Congressional hearings are in order until this matter is resolved.

Since 2006 I have reviewed a large amount of evidence that is available on this topic, considered and debated many opinions, met personally and spoke with several core members of AE911Truth and other truth-seeking organizations, and I stand with the firm belief that the Twin Tower and Building 7 fell aided by controlled demolition. I do not like to speculate about anything that cannot be proven by scientific fact, and as such I do not hypothesize on what exactly happened on 9/11. I am however convinced there is a much deeper story that needs to be thoroughly and publicly investigated, so that the public at large can come to terms with the truth about what happened on 9/11 and who planned and benefited from it. It is only through society getting to the truth and coming to terms with an even like 9/11 that we can truly start addressing the broader challenges that our world faces, including wars, climate change, and education.

1) From a metals engineering perspective, my experience tells me that it is impossible for jet fuel to melt (liquefy) structural steel, yet there were rivers of glowing molten iron under ground zero for weeks after 9/11 as evidenced by eyewitness accounts and US Geological aerial thermographs. - - - - 2) Compounding the impossibility of fuel to melt steel is the massive heat sink of the huge central core weldments of the twin towers. However, these core structures are always left out of official discussions and computer generated simulations of these events. - - - - 3) The black smoke of the twin towers is evidence that the jet fuel fires inside were burning cool. Black smoke is an indication of an oxygen deprived fire - the towers were smoldering, not melting. Further evidence of the cool fires is radio records of NYC firefighters discussing how they only need two or three hoses to knock them out. - - - - 4) From a purely logical perspective, the official story does not make sense because of the events surrounding WTC 7 which was a full block away from the twin towers yet the buildings directly between it and the towers remained standing even though they were directly rained on by falling debris. WTC 7 was neither struck by an aircraft, nor significantly damaged by debris. - - - - 5) The following is a MUST SEE video: At just after 5pm EST, the BBC news had their NYC correspondent Jane Stanley in front of their studio window overlooking ground zero and reported that the Solomon Brothers Building (official name of WTC 7) had collapsed - when in fact it was standing like new in the background right behind her. How did they know about the collapse 20 minutes ahead of time? - - - - CONCLUSION: If someone knew of at least one of the collapses ahead of time and jet fuel was not the reason for the collapse, then there must be some other reason for that collapse. It logically follows that if this true explanation is being covered-up, it is probably the same explanation for all three buildings.

I have for a long while been curios to the events of september 11, 2001. I have adopted the stance that emperical evidence and experimentation is the foundation for good science, something the official explanations of 9/11 seem to be overlooking.I am still searching for some good documented experimentation proving the official claims that WTC 7 collapsed due to fires, and that WTC 1 & 2, could collapse and pulverise almost completely due to the upper sections freefalling falling a couple of floors or so.

It does not take being an licensed engineer to see that it is clearly a controlled demolition for the twin towers as well as building 7.

The official study of the cause of the WTC destruction is clearly inadequate, as it is doubtful that aircraft could cause the towers to free fall into their own footprint without controlled demolition. Also, Building 7 was clearly too far away from the twin towers to have been destroyed by the collapse of the towers. Cell phone calls from passengers lacked air cabin background noise, suggesting that the aircraft landed elsewhere and the calls were made from the ground, not to mention that cell calls from moving high-altitude aircraft is highly problematic. Finally, the fact that all debris was hurriedly and illegally removed before a thorough forensic study is highly suspicious, pointing to an 'inside job'.

My questions and doubts began on 11.9.2001 and since then I have been observing the information and evidence that the official account of all four, no five events, is not true. I have been convinced of this for many years. I am depressed by the fact that wars have been waged since 2001 because of these false reports and millions of people have already died. I am also very concerned that Germany is involved in these illegal wars. The world changed after the 11.9.2001, therefore the world has a right to an independent, international, professional, scientific and forensic investigation. In this sense I sign the petition!

People say 'too many moving parts' etc in dismissing any theory other than the official one. But if there's a corrupt administration and complicit media covering for a few rich powerful men who've made billions then it doesn't matter if someone is caught red-handed. Without a platform there can be no reckoning. If this case was a murder trial with a regular 12-person jury, there would be enough circumstantial evidence to convict he or she ten times over. It will of course come out one day; but by then the protagonists will all be long gone. It must happen now.

Nearly every official aspect of 9/11 has been proven false by professionals (architects/engineers, pilots, stewardesses, black box engineers, cell phone analyzers, scientists, etc) and key points have not been investigated, such as: stock option purchases, WTC insurance, certain people not working, Israelis with explosive residue in vans released, gold in WTC, Bush reaction and actions in Florida while the US was under attack, Pentagon lost monies, symmetric and rapid falling of three WTC buildings, planting of evidence (passports and lost baggage of terrorists), fake Osama Bin Laden responsibility footage (wearing a wedding ring - strict muslims don't do this), recruiting of airline personnel by CIA, WTC worker reports of bombs in basement and lobby, and finally proof of explosives (visual, reported and recorded, and proved scientifically).

When observing that Bldg 7, which had not been directly hit but experienced a minor secondary fire, imploded in a manner identical to that of the WTC Twin Towers buildings, it becomes apparent that bombs had been pre-placed in all 3 buildings to cause their collapse.

On observation, it is obvious that all of the columns of Building 7 failed symmetrically, starting with the core of the structure under the penthouse, with the perimeter columns failing a second later. In my opinion this is the work of a controlled demolition that would take months to plan and prepare. If it were possible for some minor furnishings to ignite, they would not reach the necessary temperatures for a sufficiently prolonged period of time to weaken even one fire-protected column. It is unfathomable that ALL of the columns would reach the same point of failure at exactly the same time.

It's incredible to see and analyze the mass of evidence which speaks against the official version of 9/11. The official explanation for what happened on this day, in connection to all the open questions, is in my eyes absolutly ridiculous. It's not really scientific! Therefore we need a new independent and transparent investigation with an international team of scientists. Otherwise we will never have the clearness of what really happened on this historical date. Also, we will never understand the reasons for all the civil rights cutting processes, which have happend all over the world since this huge crime.

The evidence of thermite and molten iron in the dust at ground zero combined with the free fall collapse of WTC building 7 has convinced me without a doubt that the actual events of 9/11/2001 in NYC do not match the NIST report or the official story reported by the mainstream news media. The victims' families and the American people deserve an honest investigation into 9/11 to confirm the true causes and perpetrators.

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

I spent the 1st half of my career in manufacturing engineering and the latter half in mechanical engineering.
I 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.

Those three buildings came down too perfectly, within their own footprints, to have been caused by an asymmetric impact and subsequent jet fuel fire, much of which burned off externally in fire balls (and Building 7 wasn't even impacted). It offends me that so much of the forensic and scientific evidence was ignored or dismissed by the officials in charge, largely in my opinion because the invasion of Iraq was a foregone conclusion and the Cheney/Bush administration needed a 'Pearl Harbor' event to galvanize public anger in support.

Thinking people through the world deserve to know what actually took place on 9/11. The official version insults the intelligence of the informed mind. To suppress truth on this matter is an affront to the progress of civilization and a perpetuation of mass media manipulation. Regardless of who may be damaged as a result, the truth must be revealed. At the very least, the current story must be debunked whether or not the true story can be determined.

Except by intentional use of controlled demolition explosives or other energy source, steel structures can not and do not collapse in the manner that WTC buildings 7, 1, and 2 did on 9/11/2001.

WTC 1+2 may have been pulverized by high tech charges. Enormous energies were used. The elevator shafts were most probably prepared with Thermite.

The amount of energy needed to pulverize the towers must have been enormous. My first thought: powder has a large surface area. To generate that surface area, energy is needed.

The first thing that concerned me in the 'pancake' theory of the tower floors was after I saw photos and plans of the core column structure. There is no contiguous floor through the core area. If the floors did pancake, then the basically hollow square floors outside of the exterior of the core would have sheared off and collapsed leaving the core standing. As an analogy, the core is the 'trunk' of the tower, giving bending resistance (stiffness) and vertical support. There is no reason to believe that collapsing floors surrounding it would affect it.

I am a pensioner Captain of the German Airforce and was 36 years in charge. One of my tasks was to recover crashed aircraft in the function of leader of aircraft quality management. University of German Air Force Munich, 1990.
I have seen many accidents and crashes of military and civil aircrafts. In cases of a crash, you always can see the side rudder and elevators from the tail, the engines, and the hull of the aircraft. A civil aircraft would not completely disappear, neither in a black hole, nor in a building like the World Trade Center. I believe in God, but not in this fake of the CIA!

I completed my Master of Science in Structures and Foundations Engineering in December 2017 from Cleveland State University. Currently, I am a Structural Engineer and an assistant project manager in New York City. I am responsible for performing structural analysis and calculations, preparing super-structure, foundation and support of excavation drawings, reviewing structural designs, performing field investigation and special inspections. I was working as a Construction Safety Engineering Intern at NYC Department of Buildings with Excavation and Interior Demolition Unit in Summer 2017. I have a working knowledge of STAAD.Pro, AutoCAD, ETABS, MATLAB, SAFE, SKYCIV, BLUEBEAM and Microsoft office suite. I possess an OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Construction Outreach Certification. In addition to that, I also took various Red Vector Online Structural Engineering Courses. I possess F01 and F60 FDNY Certificates. I have significant experience in overseeing a wide range of civil engineering projects.
I didn't think the towers would fall. As designed, the weight of the floors above where the planes had hit was being transferred around the holes to the columns below, and the way the building fell down was a complete controlled demolition. Not in the history of steel structured buildings has a fire been responsible for such collapses.

The collapse of towers (any of them) are physically impossible. Also, the airplane's speed at that height is impossible. Plane is not structurally capable of withstanding air resistance and wings would be ripped off. Engines not able to provide enough power to get to the speed they say it hit. Also telephone calls from passengers on planes received on cell network is impossible. Antennas on cell towers are directional & do not work above 1500 ft altitude. Also plane will be too fast for cell tower 'pass over'. This speed of a mobile tx/rx unit travels in a cell network must be within cell phone networks spec. Planes are to fast.
