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.

BSCE, while I don't work in Structures I've had enough physics, mechanics, thermo and design classes to know when the explanation does not match the facts.
The published official explanation does not match the facts. I do not know what happened on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, but I know what didn't happen. Two planes cannot bring down two buildings, much less three.

I studied high rise buildings with Prof. Behnisch in Darmstadt. Diploma in 1982. Until 1991 I worked with BGS Frankfurt, Germany, main project: leader of the planning team for the reconstruction of the New Opera in Frankfurt (destroyed by fire in 1987) ...
Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

Having re-looked at the footage recently and thought about how buildings actually perform in the event of fire (regardless of cause), I realized that planes alone could not bring down / pulverize a building into dust! This is a simple fact. If you consider that all the floors below the plane strikes were untouched by fire or impact (the towers were built to withstand plane strikes)... their structural strength would be intact and therefore could NOT simply collapse.

I worked in the coal industry for 15 years as a mining engineer. Then I owned and operated a construction company for 5 years. Currently working in the oil & gas industry as a landman. Also, I took flying lessons for a year.
I watched the burning of the WTC towers and was confused by what I was seeing in the showers of sparks coming out of the building in various places. Then I was shocked, not only at the collapse of the buildings, but the near perfect collapse and virtual free fall.

I graduated in the first class 1971 from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with a BS in Architecture. I did a year of grad work but decided it was not for me. I lived and worked in Milwaukee for 33 years. Housing and transportation were two of the issues I spent most of my time on. I now focus on the WAR - 9-11. I am an Alderman in Lake Geneva WI.
I was sure that no explosives were used in the towers. It was just not possible and held that view until Dr Stephen Jones published his paper.

It was the discovery of molten steel in the tub that made me realize there was something really wrong about the MSM coverage of the Towers. The discovery of intergranular melting has so far not been explained, officially. Building 7 collapse looks like a demolition to me, and if nothing else happens, this should be intensively re-investigated by an independent team of architects and engineers.

After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture Cum Laude from the University of Southern California, Alan worked for a number of private architectural firms in the Los Angeles area before moving to Washington, DC, to serve as a hospital architect for the U.S. Public Health Service. He went on to get his Masters Degree in Architecture at UC Berkeley before settling permanently in Pennsylvania to pursue a career in building product research with Armstrong World Industries. - - Alan joined Armstrong in 1969 where he was initially involved with new product development for modular housing, passive solar energy, and furniture systems. In the mid-1970's, he began concentrating on new approaches to integrated ceilings. He was deeply involved in responding to the Federal Government's 'Peachbook' performance specification approach for office buildings and continued a similar private sector effort as Chairman of the Integrated Ceiling Subsystem Task Group for the Construction Research Council in Washington. - - More recently, as Manager of Technical Information for Armstrong Floor Products, Alan focused on providing assistance to specifiers, contractors, and end users; new product testing and refinement; training salespeople; and writing technical literature (including computerized product specifications). He also developed an AIA-approved resilient flooring continuing education seminar program for Armstrong commercial field and distributor representatives to use with architects and interior designers. - - - - Alan is a past member of both the American and the International Solar Energy Societies, was a representative for Armstrong to ASTM, and is currently a member of the Construction Specifications Institute, the Society of Architectural Historians, Tau Sigma Delta Honor Society in Architecture and Allied Arts, and an associate member of the American Institute of Architects. He has spoken to a variety of audiences over the years and taught in a number of classroom environments. He was invited to speak to large audiences of hospital architects at two health care symposiums in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and authored a paper about flooring in health care facilities that was translated into Chinese for a conference in Shanghai. - - - - Now retired from Armstrong, Alan is devoting more effort to his long-time passion for research in post-quantum physics and metaphysical studies with groups based in New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. His interests take him to many parts of the world as he pursues subjects such as alternative energy sources, sacred geometry, archaeology, and investigative mythology. He is a strong advocate for moving away from a fossil fuel-based economy.
I began studying the collapses of the Towers a couple of years after the event. The more I researched, the more I became convinced they did not fall from the impact and subsequent fires of airplanes. The evidence is overwhelming.

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.
