• Speech at Sonoma State University 4/20/07:
  
  "Another 2006 poll by Scripps Howard, Ohio University, which found that a shocking 16% believe that the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were brought down by explosives.  Unfortunately, my research has also concluded that this is true.  Tonight I will present to you the very clear evidence that all three World Trade Center high-rise buildings, the Twin Towers and Building 7 were destroyed not by fire as our government has told us, but by controlled demolition with explosives." http://ae911truth.org/aboutus.php



• Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

  "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 collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7.  We believe that there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore that the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that may have been the actual cause behind the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and WTC Building 7." http://www.ae911truth.org/joinus.php

• Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
  
  "I was dubious of the official explanations from the outset. You see, as a professional city planner in New York, I knew those buildings and their design. I attended and participated in the hearings at the New York City Hall when the buildings were first proposed. I argued for the buildings on the basis that the interior core represented a way of internalizing the cost of mass transit, which in our system is almost impossible to finance through public bond issues.
  
  So I was well aware of the strength of the core with its steel columns, surrounding the elevators, and stairwells. I should also mention that with a degree in architecture and instruction in steel design (my Yale professor had worked on the Empire State Building) I was and am no novice in structural design.
  
  When I saw the rapid collapse of the towers, I knew that they could not come down the way they did without explosives and the severing of core columns at the base. The spewing of debris from the towers where the planes entered also could not have occurred simply with just a structural collapse. Something else was happening to make this occur.
  
  Moreover, the symmetrical collapse is strong evidence of a controlled demolition. A building falling from asymmetrical structural failure would not collapse so neatly, nor so rapidly, as you have pointed out.
  
  What we are faced with is a lie of such proportions that even to suggest it makes one subject to ridicule and scorn. Who could have done such a terrible thing? Certainly not our government or military. Rogue elements in the intelligence agencies? I have no idea.
  
  But I do know that the official explanation doesn't hold water. An open, honest re-opening of the case is in order. A near majority of Americans agrees with this view. Let us keep pressing for an honest investigation."  http://www.ae911truth.org

• Letter to American Institute of Architects 11/26/06:
  
  "The primary duty of registered professionals is to protect the public safety.  Professionals' intelligence, knowledge and experience provide a delicate connection between science and fact. ...
  
  9-11 was a tragic event for our country, quickly “solved” by our government and propagated by our media, leading our country into fear, anguish, anger, war and unrestrained spending.
  
  Have we, as building professionals, been hoodwinked?  Who should better understand the collapse of the World Trade Towers than those in our profession, possibly with the consultation of demolition experts?
  
  As I and millions have reviewed the events of that day, it seems much of the cover story is not true and impossible.  As the nation is confused on the reality of that day, have we been making bad decisions ever since?
  
  My web site collects salient information that isolates the demise of the World Trade Towers – linking  many experienced, dedicated and articulate technical analysis that show clearly that the World Trade Towers were destroyed by internal explosives and not "fires from the airlines". ...
  
  After hundreds of hours of research, and thousands of dollars purchasing materials and information, this letter outlines my most salient, articulate examples of things that architects should investigate.  If I err slightly in any single item, that does not discount this letter.  On the contrary, even if only part of these accusations are true, they should be investigated." http://www.abodia.com/911

• Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

• Endorsement of 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press by David Ray Griffin: "This book describes in very straightforward and non-technical terms some major inconsistencies in the government's official story about the events on September 11, 2001.  It points out many attempts in the 9/11 Commission's report to cover up evidence. ... As an engineer, I am especially troubled by the cover-up of evidence relevant to the collapse of the three major World Trade Center buildings.  I hope that Congress and the public will heed this call for a full and impartial investigation to determine what really did happen on that fateful day." http://www.interlinkbooks.com



• Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
  
  "Without any serious study I had simply accepted that the events of 9/11 were as commonly perceived, although I was not happy with the way the disaster was being used to promote what I felt were illegal and self defeating imperialistic policies in the guise of the War on Terrorism.
  
  It was not until early 2006 that I stumbled upon sufficient information to become suspicious of the "official" and generally accepted 9/11 storyline. This led me to do my own investigation during which I discovered the demise of WTC 7, which I was heretofore unaware of. Obviously it was the result of controlled demolition and scheduled to take place during the confusion surrounding the day’s events.
  
  I now feel morally obligated to deal with and expose the "politically unthinkable" issues surrounding the 9/11 phenomena by participating in such undertakings as signing this petition."  http://www.ae911truth.org

• Book 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA: "As Bachmann told the Neue Züricher Zeitung Online on September 13, 2001, at first glance there seemed to be two possibilities in the fall of the towers. The first was the fire and its effect on the steel supports. But Bachmann had an alternative: "In the second scenario, an additional terrorist action would have caused the collapse of the buildings.  In this way, according to Bachmann, buildings like the World Trade center can be destroyed without great logistical exertion."  The article went on to say that "Bachmann could imagine that the perpetrators had installed explosives on key supports in a lower floor before the attack."  If the perpetrators had rented office space, then these "explosive tenants" could have calmly placed explosive charges on the vulnerable parts of the building "without having anyone notice." http://www.reopen911.org/Tarpley_ch_6.pdf

• Letter to the editor, Reno Gazette-Journal 8/23/07:
  
  "Terrorism supplants communism as the enemy our government uses to justify military intervention abroad. 
  
  Former Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, advocated in a 1997 book for America’s domination of the world through military intimidation.  He audaciously stated that America’s democracy at home was in opposition to this goal and what was needed was “a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.”
  
  Cut to September 11, 2001. 
  
  Our democracy, if not by then, was afterward an exoskeleton behind which lurked secret agendas.  We were told that terrorists hiding in Afghanistan perpetrated the attack and few questioned our subsequent military response.  There are, however, troubling questions about 9/11 that are as yet unanswered by our government.  For one, why did our military fail to intercept any of the airplanes on 9/11?  Was this failure the result of gross incompetence, or was a stand down order in place? 
  
  Many have come forward to sign petitions to Congress to reopen the investigation of the 9/11 attacks, especially the reason(s) for the collapse of WTC7.  Please visit PatriotsQuestion911.com to learn more.   Together, we have a lot of work ahead to restore American democracy."  http://news.rgj.com

• Video interview 1/25/01: "The [Twin Tower] building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door. This intense grid ­ and the jet-plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting." http://video.google.com



• Editor's note: The Boeing 767-200s that impacted the Twin Towers on 9/11 were only slightly larger than 707s and DC 8s, the types of jetliners whose impacts the World Trade Center's designers anticipated.  The maximum takeoff weight of the 707 is 15% less than the 767.

• Statement 7/1/07: "The frequently repeated TV images of the aircraft slamming into the World Trade Centre overwhelmed any thoughtful response. Naturally, the collapse of the buildings was attributable to this traumatic event.
  
  It was only later when pictures emerged showing the inappropriate damage to the Pentagon – reported to have been caused by a large aircraft crashing through several layers of external wall – that professional doubt was aroused in my mind. Thereafter, The fall of the World Trade Center  video showed the side of one tower ‘unzipping’ along one side of a damaged floor. My knowledge of structure and dynamics told me that unless the other sides simultaneously ‘unzipped’ there was no way that the tower would have ‘pancaked’ onto it’s own footprint: it should surely have toppled outwards. That both towers did the same was just too improbable to be plausible.
  
  Hence I am anxious to learn what really happened." http://www.911blogger.com/node/9736

• Essay 12/06: "The NIST investigation of the WTC building failures was extensive, but NIST did not substantiate its conclusions experimentally. On the contrary, many of NIST’s tests contradicted its conclusions. Furthermore, there are several examples in which NIST chose to manipulate input data, and then certify its findings based upon the inevitable conclusions that derive from the manipulated input. One finds little acknowledgement on the part of NIST that uncertainties in its simulations translate into uncertainties in its findings.
  
  NIST’s physical tests were inadequate. Their ASTM E119 tests and their workstation burn tests were improperly modeled. Further, the former produced results that contradicted NIST’s conclusions and the latter fell far short of testing the performance of realistic steel members in the actual fire conditions. The workstation burn tests showed that the temperatures were generally too low, especially in the ventilation-controlled WTC environments. The ASTM E119 tests showed that the WTC floor trusses should have easily withstood the fires they experienced on 9/11.
  
  There were also flaws in NIST’s computer simulations, including its impact simulation, its fire loading simulation, its temperature mapping simulation, its thermal/structural component simulations, and its global simulation. The LS-DYNA simulation showed that the aircraft would have done much less damage than NIST assumes, and NIST’s subsequent "scenario pruning" was confused and unsubstantiated. The decision to exclude the hat truss from the structural/thermal response simulations was a significant omission. The sequence of failed truss seats leading to pull-in forces on the exterior columns is central to NIST’s theory but not explained or supported by simulation.
  
  This paper will conclude that the findings of the NIST investigation, although not necessarily incorrect, are not inherently linked to the reality of the failure mechanisms that took place in WTC buildings 1 and 2. The author calls on NIST to explain the discrepancies in its reports, admit the level of uncertainty in its findings, broaden the scope of its investigation, and make its raw data available to other researchers." http://www.journalof911studies.com

• Tages Anzeiger Article 9/9/06: "We simply don't know what exactly happened in WTC 7," said Mario Fontana, sitting Professor of Structural Analysis and Construction at ETH-Zurich. At conferences of structural analysis experts one has discovered only very little on the collapse of WTC 7. It is at least thinkable that a long, on-going fire could have caused the collapse of the building, according to Fontana."

• Telephone interview with Jeff Hill 2/22/07:
  
  Jeff Hill:  I was just wondering real quickly, I know you had commented on World Trade Center Building 7 before.
  
  Danny Jowenko:  Yes, that's right.
  
  Jeff Hill:  And I've come to my conclusions, too, that it couldn't have came down by fire.
  
  Danny Jowenko:  No, it -- absolutely not.
  
  Jeff Hill:  Are you still sticking by your comments where you say it must have been a controlled demolition?
  
  Danny Jowenko:  Absolutely.
  
  Jeff Hill:  Yes?  So, you as being a controlled demolitions expert, you've looked at the building, you've looked at the video and you've determined with your expertise that --
  
  Danny Jowenko:  I looked at the drawings, the construction and it couldn't be done by fire. So, no, absolutely not.
  
  Jeff Hill:  OK, 'cause I was reading on the Internet, people were asking about you and they said, I wonder -- I heard something that Danny Jowenko retracted his statement of what he said earlier about World Trade Center 7 now saying that it came down by fire.  I said, "There's no way that's true."
  
  Danny Jowenko:  No, no, no, absolutely not.
  
  Jeff Hill:  'Cause if anybody was -- Like when I called Controlled Demolition here in North America, they tell me that , "Oh, it's possible it came down from fire" and this and that and stuff like that --.
  
  Danny Jowenko:  When the FEMA makes a report that it came down by fire, and you have to earn your money in the States as a controlled demolition company and you say, "No, it was a controlled demolition", you're gone.  You know?
  
  Jeff Hill:  Yeah, exactly, you'll be in a lot of trouble if you say that, right?
  
  Danny Jowenko:  Of course, of course.  That's the end of your -- the end of the story.
  
  Jeff Hill:  Yeah, 'cause I was calling demolitions companies just to ask them if they used the term, "Pull it" in demolition terms and even Controlled Demolitions, Incorporated said they did.  But the other people wouldn't -- didn't want to talk to me about Building 7 really because obviously 'cause they knew what happened and they didn't want to say it.

• Blog comment 8/20/05: "There is a lie that rots the very essence of our Government and that is the lie of 9-11-01.  I close my eyes and see the lies in the 9-11 Commission Report and I see the lies in the official story but it is as if you and the rest of the media are bound by some invisible force to silence.  Knowing what I know and seeing the lies does make for an interesting perspective but it is also very depressing.  It is like watching two trains speeding towards each other and being helpless in stopping them.  Only when the lie of 9-11 is exposed to the light of day, will we begin the slow process of being at least what we were.  It may give us the opportunity to change as well but the lie must be exposed.
  
  A simple matter.  Your newspaper reported shortly after the 9-11-01 that Mr. Cheney was taken by the Secret Service to the basement of the White House shortly after 9:00 am.  This was confirmed by a photographer who was there.  Mr. Mineta said that Mr. Cheney was in the basement when he got there at 9:20 am. Mr. Clark in his book supports this conclusion as well.  The 9-11 Commission Report says that Mr. Cheney is not taken to the "basement" until almost 10:00 am.  In an article after the 9-11 Commission Report was published your newspaper reported that Cheney was taken to the basement at 10:00 am without comment on the previously reported events that stand in total contradiction to the truth.
  
  I will gladly show you a few of the lies in the 9-11 Commission Report and even show you how your own paper lied to cover up the truth.  I will do anything I can to help you see what I see." http://www.huffingtonpost.com



• Letter to the editor 5-25-07:  Regarding the collapse of the WTC Towers  "One of the Smoking Guns  The POWDER (most people call it "dust") was produced from the light weight concrete floors and the dry wall all in 10 seconds. How is that possible without explosives???  If you can not prove that the falling building parts could produce the POWDER in 10 seconds by mechanical means then EXPLOSIVES had to be used because we all saw the POWDER and we still see the POWDER whenever we watch one of the videos. This proves without a doubt that it has to be an inside job." http://www.dailytidings.com

• Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C. The World Trade Center was almost certainly brought down by controlled demolitions and that the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the government's official story about the attack on the Pentagon."

• Interview Alex Jones Show 4/11/07:
  
  Alex Jones: Recap Hani Hanjour's maneuver, what they claim -- go through the maneuver they claim he did and then what supposedly happened there at the Pentagon ...
  
  Commander Muga:  The maneuver at the Pentagon was just a tight spiral coming down out of 7,000 feet.  And a commercial aircraft, while they can in fact structurally somewhat handle that maneuver, they are very, very, very difficult.  And it would take considerable training.  In other words, commercial aircraft are designed for a particular purpose and that is for comfort and for passengers and it's not for military maneuvers.  And while they are structurally capable of doing them, it takes some very, very talented pilots to do that. ...
  
  When a commercial airplane gets that high, it gets very, very close to getting into what you refer to as a speed high-speed stall.  And a high-speed stall can be very, very violent on a commercial-type aircraft and you never want to get into that situation.  I just can't imagine an amateur even being able to come close to performing a maneuver of that nature.  
  
  And as far as hijacking the airplanes, once again getting back to the nature of pilots and airplanes, there is no way that a pilot would give up an airplane to hijackers. ...
  
  I mean, hell, a guy doesn't give up a TV remote control much less a complicated 757.  And so to think that pilots would allow a plane to be taken over by a couple of 5 foot 7, 150 pound guys with a one-inch blade boxcutter is ridiculous.
  
  And also in all four planes, if you remember, none of the planes ever switched on their transponder to the hijack code.  There's a very, very simple code that you put in if you suspect that your plane is being hijacked.  It takes literally just a split-second for you to put your hand down on the center console and flip it over.  And not one of the four planes ever transponded a hijack code, which is most, most unusual. ...
  
  Commercial airplanes are very, very complex pieces of machines.  And they're designed for two pilots up there, not just two amateur pilots, but two qualified commercial pilots up there.  And to think that you're going to get an amateur up into the cockpit and fly, much less navigate, it to a designated target, the probability is so low, that it's bordering on impossible."

  "My nephew was told that people in the South Tower didn't have to evacuate because the collapse of the North Tower was an accident. I believe that NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command] knew that the South Tower was going to be attacked before it went down. Think of what this means. Able Danger was not the first revelation. There were lots and lots of clues about the fact that the government had prior knowledge. ...
  
  "I'm just beginning to read all the exposés of 9/11. Even though Able Danger identified four of the hijackers before the bombing, I would still like to know how the government knew so quickly after the attacks who the hijackers were. The 9/11 commission definitely did not get to the full truth." http://www.wsws.org




• Editor's note: The 9/11 Commission Report asserts that only three of the alleged hijackers were known to U.S. intelligence agencies prior to 9/11; Nawaf al-Hazmi, Salem al-Hazmi, and Khalid al-Mihdar.  There is no mention in the Report that the names and photographs of alleged hijacker Marwan al-Shehhi and alleged ring-leader Mohamed Atta had been identified by the Department of Defense antiterrorist program known as Able Danger more than a year prior to 9/11 and that they were known to be affiliates of al-Qaida.

  "Didn't seem right from the get-go.  Spoke to an electrical engineer during an inspection on the morning of 11 Sep 2001.  He had not yet heard that the two towers had collapsed, and couldn't believe, from the simple facts we knew at the time, that aircraft impacts could precipitate a collapse of the World Trade Towers.
  
  Soon the President announced names of the highjackers who had crashed the planes, and propagated the story of Al Qaeda as the terrorism perpetrators.  Right, and a highjacker left a passport that survived the pulverization of the Towers!  Too many plain tall tales and improbable explanations surround the circumstances of that day.
  
  Now we can begin to understand that, as Barry Zwicker’s Towers of Deception book sketches out, the traumatic shock of the spectacular experience makes the mind need explanation, and the initial propaganda catapulted by Bush and the media that most people did accept as explanation even if tentatively, causes pain when contradicted by countering evidence.  Statements of the A/E professionals here provide ample brief summary of that evidence.  The book, In the Wake of 9/11, offers further exploration of psychological processes associated with the aftermath of the event that could assist persuasive discussion."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  "Just another conspiracy against some groups of people for the US administration to beat the war drums. How can a building just collapse onto itself without having controlled explosions inside the building?
  
  Let me ask a few questions pertaining to if it was not a controlled demolition.
  
  Most of high-rises are designed such that the lower frame members take most of the loads of the building above them. So as we go down on any building the frame members get stiffer and bulkier. So what happened in WTC? The lower frame members were not taking the loads of building above them or what. Secondly the designs normally carries an F.S of 1.44-2.5 depending on the material used, meaning the members will not yield under 1.44-2.5 times the loads it is designed for. What happened here...can the government explain?
  
  The high-rise when properly designed have a lateral stability and are braced properly which redistribute the loads if some members even fail.
  
  In this case , from the videos of crash we have seen, it is clear that the airplanes hit one side of the tower, which could have caused serious damage to structural members, The member forces must have been redistributed unless the plastic yield point was reached and the members gave in. Again then since the accident was a non-symmetrical, so the top portion of WTC must show leaning on the weak side before collapse. Which is not the case.
  
  A building never collapses like this under this phenomenon. Even a finite element method analysis of the building collapse does not show that the building will collapse within few minutes of such a catastrophe.
  
  The building must have been designed to take the lateral sway forces of wind and redistribute the loads to other members, so why did it not happen in the case of this accident?
  
  Seeing various video footage make me think that the controlled demolition started from top to bottom, as if it would have started from bottom, the building collapse pattern would be different than the current."  http://www.ae911truth.org

• Essay Vermont Guardian 3/1/07: "Having worked on structural steel buildings as a civil engineer in the era when the Twin Towers were designed and constructed, I found some disturbing discrepancies and omissions concerning their collapse on 9/11. ...
  
  The interesting fact is that each of these 110-story Twin Towers fell upon itself in about ten seconds at nearly free-fall speed. This violates Newton’s Law of Conservation of Momentum that would require that as the stationary inertia of each floor is overcome by being hit, the mass (weight) increases and the free-fall speed decreases.
  
  Even if Newton’s Law is ignored, the prevailing theory would have us believe that each of the Twin Towers inexplicably collapsed upon itself crushing all 287 massive columns on each floor while maintaining a free-fall speed as if the 100,000, or more, tons of supporting structural-steel framework underneath didn't exist.
  
  Controlled demolition is so politically unthinkable that the media not only demeans the messenger but also ridicules and "debunks" the message rather than provide investigative reporting. Curiously, it took 441 days for the president’s 9/11 Commission to start an "investigation" into a tragedy where more than 2,500 WTC lives were taken. The Commission’s investigation also didn't include the possibility of controlled-demolition, nor did it include an investigation into the "unusual and unprecedented" manner in which WTC Building #7 collapsed. http://www.vermontguardian.com



• Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
  
  "About a year ago I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed.  Professor Steven Jones' video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call.  My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones.
  
  I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory.  I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington:  "Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated.  They are patently false.  Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false."... "The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning." However, this "nationally respected" 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them.  For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7.
  
  Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01.  Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  The initial antenna drop in WTC 1 before the perimeter walls drop, accelerating into the path of most resistance, the concrete dust analysis and energy it took to make it, why the corners of the towers did not collapse at the same rate as the floors, the cut up core columns at ground zero, the lack of any photographic evidence whatsoever of any 'pancaked' floors, the time it took to collapse, the energy needed to throw steel hundreds of feet, the squibs well below the collapse wave, and of course the collapse of WTC 7.

  "So many things I have heard and seen about the destruction of the Twin Tower buildings, I did not understand. I thought my material science and building construction lectures set me up pretty well with all the principals if not all the mathematics.
  
  So how come the buildings just dropped like a stone? Why didn't they fall sideways? The planes did not hit dead centre! And they hit more columns on one side! Why does the mast on top of the building start collapsing before the top deck? Why does the top of the building just start breaking up straight away? Why does it not move as one piece above where the planes hit? Why was there so much dust, billowing clouds, surely not including asbestos? Then they fall down in less than 3 hours? (approx 80 minutes and 120 minutes) What's wrong with the Fireproofing? What sort of fuel burns hotter than diesel or petrol also stored in these buildings? What destroys the fireproofing and melts steel, not just makes it sag. Why Molten Metal in the basements weeks after the collapse? "Whelen the Wrecker" men with boots too hot to wear? Despite continually flooding the basement the fires continue to burn without oxygen. Then a third 47 Storey WTC building fell, again dropping like a stone, despite only being hit by the main tower only on one side. In the Towering Inferno movie the building stays up, time for people to get out despite chaos.

  Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.
  
  The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights.  [Bold added for emphasis by Editor of this website.]  Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.
  
  Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.
  
  Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.
  
  Faced with the choice between a war, that according to some western leaders, will last for many years or a possible peaceful transformation we support the following demands: ...
  
  International investigation of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.  They are used as the central justification for the "War on Terror", but well documented evidence shows that the official explanation of 9/11 cannot be correct.  International personalities in science, politics, and culture, including high-ranking military veterans, have called for a new investigation."

  "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 collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7.  We believe that there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore that the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that may have been the actual cause behind the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and WTC Building 7." http://www.ae911truth.org/joinus.php



• Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

• Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
  
  "I believe that it is physically/scientifically impossible for the heat from the burning planes to have caused the collapse. If the steel had failed by heat, as has been claimed, the building would have deformed.
  
  The speed of the building's collapse, indicating no resistance as it fell, further indicates that only carefully placed and timed detonation devices throughout the skeletal structure could account for the sudden implosion of the towers into their footprints.
  
  The only plausible reason for collapse of WTC 7, which was not hit by any plane, is similarly, timed explosives within the building."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  After reviewing the data presented by the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Organization and through my independent assessment of the data I have reviewed, and based on my 40+ years of professional experience, I have concluded that it would be nearly impossible for any of the principal World Trade Center Towers to collapse in the manner or in the recorded time frame as a result of any fire or explosion caused solely by the impact of terrorist-guided aircraft alone.  Braced steel frame buildings simply don't collapse in a symmetrical manner with a uniform plume of debris in 102 or 56 minutes respectively with modern structural design standards and state-of-the-art life-safety systems which must be continuously inspected by local building inspectors based on ever increasing performance standards centered on human survival."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  "I am not a structural engineer by training or practice, nor does my practice concern the design of structural steel buildings.  Nevertheless, having basic civil engineering coursework experience (steel and r/c design, etc...) and some structural framing design experience I have harbored deep doubts about the government's explanation for these collapses since the morning of 9/11.
  
  I recall expressing then how the buildings would remain intact, even given the severe damage they had experienced, never considering that the damage inflicted could cause collapse.
  
  There is power in numbers and there is further power in the prestige and integrity of the numerous engineers, architects, and scientists who have come forward and who may yet come forward to challenge the government's explanations or lack thereof.
  
  I suggest that there are powerful computer modeling and physical testing tools that are likely being employed and may yet be employed in concert with the photographic, video, and forensic evidence to investigate how these towers collapsed, political motivations aside.

  "From the first day of the 'attack' my intuition told me that some things did not fit.  I knew that the buildings collapsed too quickly and that the manner of the collapse was too 'controlled'.  With each new piece of mainstream media news release from 'official' sources my response was 'Yeah, right.'  I knew, without any doubt, before the invasion began and without seeing one bit of 'official evidence' that there was no link between the 9/11 attack and Iraq.  I knew then as I know now that it was all about control of oil and empire building.
  
  I, however, did not take the time to do a study of the facts until recently when the new drums calling for war with Iran by the same folks who masterminded the war with Iraq by linking 9/11 with Iraq.  My research has indeed pointed to too many discrepancies and outright lies regarding the events of 9/11.  The most revealing and the most amusing (in a cynical manner) is the BBC reporter standing in the forefront of a still standing Building 7 as she reported (I assume from a pre-prepared script) that the same Building 7 had earlier collapsed.  Afterwards, the collapse of Building 7 was so 'neat and clean' anyone could see that it was a pre-planned controlled demolition.
  
  A totally independent study and report needs to be presented to the public."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  "At 1.8 million square feet, WTC 7 was possibly larger than any building on the West Coast.  Bank of America (1.4 million sf) and the Transamerica Pyramid (.5 million sf), the two highest buildings in San Francisco, are together only slightly greater in area. 
  
  Few Americans know that WTC 7 collapsed, even fewer know how big it was.  I have read that its collapse was shown only one time on television; in its documentaries about the WTC collapse, PBS not only didn't explain the collapse of WTC7 but never even mentioned the collapse of a third building, because doing so would have undermined their conclusion that planes and jet fuel were responsible for the collapses. 
  
  Much evidence exists of explosions throughout the WTC buildings.  Persistent pools of 2000 degree metal can only be explained by the presence of thermite/thermate, used in planned demolitions.  Squibs, puffs of smoke characteristic of planned demolitions, can be clearly seen in advance of the collapses. 
  
  The official story does not explain the collapse of WTC7 or the collapse of the cores of WTC 1 and 2.  YouTube videos of a BBC reporter announcing the collapse of WTC7 just prior to its actual collapse is convincing proof that the authorities had advance knowledge of its imminent collapse. 
  
  There is just one explanation for the evidence associated with these collapses: demolition by expertly planned and placed explosives."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  "Very hard to understand the 'complete' lack of concrete rubble in the debris field.  Even had the basements filled with concrete topping slab debris.  There should have been a stack of jumbled building elements about 9 more stories above grade.  The core columns were fully welded yet none were longer than 40 ft (max trucking length).  This event as portrayed by the NIST Report totally messes with my understanding of how buildings behave.  I haven't been able to reconcile the promoted theory of collapse with the way I know buildings to behave."  http://www.ae911truth.org

  "We design and analyze buildings for the overturning stability to resist the lateral loads with the combination of the gravity loads.  Any tall structure failure mode would be a fall over to its side.  It is impossible that heavy steel columns could collapse at the fraction of the second within each story and subsequently at each floor bellow.
  
  We do not know the phenomenon of the high rise building to disintegrate internally faster than the free fall of the debris coming down from the top.
  
  The engineering science and the law of physics simply doesn't know such possibility.  Only very sophisticated controlled demolition can achieve such result, eliminating the natural dampening effect of the structural framing huge mass that should normally stop the partial collapse.  The pancake theory is a fallacy, telling us that more and more energy would be generated to accelerate the collapse.  Where would such energy would be coming from?"  http://www.ae911truth.org

• Comment 2/6/06: " I've worked in structural steel for years and I've studied major structural collapses.  I don't believe the collapse witnessed was possible due to the planes and ensuing fires alone.  I don't believe the core verticals would have buckled as they apparently did, unless first taken out from below.  I don't claim to know who might have been responsible, but a preponderance of eyewitness testimony supports secondary [explosive] devices.
  
  IMO, nobody knows what really happened, despite countless claims of certainty on both sides of the aisle. ...
  
  Ideally, we need to see an accurate scale model, or at the minimum, an accurate detailed computer simulation & recreation to show that such a complete instantaneous failure of the central vertical columns is even possible." http://www.dailykos.com



• Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
  
  "The speed at which the buildings fell implied that the central cores provided virtually no vertical resistance at any point during the collapses.  When the live television commenter stated that there must have been tons of explosives on site to cause such a collapse, I found myself in agreement and assumed it would all come out during the investigation.
  
  Combined with the reports of "molten metal", inexplicably high temperatures recorded even by satellite, rapid removal and destruction of the structural evidence, the finding of tiny fragments of human bone thrown laterally from the structures, the missing pentagon trillions on 9/10; I am very concerned about the kind of world we are leaving to the next generations.  9/11 and the ensuing cover up is a big part of that concern."  http://www.ae911truth.org

• Essay 2004: "While none of the many 9-11 researchers knows exactly what happened on that fateful day in September almost 3 years ago, any sensible person can easily spot dozens of inconsistencies in the official story that is being forced upon us.
  
  And these inconsistencies are huge. They range from the apparent stand-down of our immense military arsenal (for over an hour and a half) to the small hole and lack of debris at the Pentagon. There was Bush's bizarre, uninterrupted photo op in a Florida elementary school, and then there is the matter of the remains of Flight 93 being scattered over eight miles of Pennsylvania farmland, a fact which suggests the plane may have been shot down. The official story seems wrong on all of these points. ...
  
  And the fact is, most of the available 9-11 evidence points to at least some level of government complicity or foreknowledge.
  
  Please, read more for yourself. Don't take my word for it. Most of all, do not buy the double-speak that visible politicians and the media use to discount any question about 9-11." http://www.physics911.net
