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 have seen on TV commercial buildings collapse under controlled demolition prior to 911. I have been told that no certified US demolition companies will comment officially on 911. I personally saw and heard in real time 2 firemen (one dirty and exhausted, seated outside on a low brick garden wall) and another just reporting for action - nice and clean. Both were looking at Building 7 in the near background (1 block?) away and to the question for the exhausted one by the fresh one regarding its status the exhausted one looked at his watch and said as clearly as I can remember, Its going down about 4:30! I didn't think too much about it at the time but now I think about it a lot whenever 911 comes up!

After watching the precision with which the towers collapsed, I was then, and remain today, of the opinion that it was a controlled demo job. I did calculations at the time estimating that the rubble pile was much too small...material had to disappear/ vaporize in order for the pile to be as small as it was. Conservatively, the pile of rubble would have to have been about 30 stories deep (including accounting for the 7 stories below grade being packed tight with debris, no air spaces!); a 'pyramid' with a base of 600 ft square. Anyone who has ever witnessed a controlled demolition would have immediately recognized its 'signature in this collapse. Not likely to cut off all of the columns on only one side of the building and still have it come down vertically, virtually within its own footprint, like it did.

Tower 5 burned and burned and burned, never fell. Tower 7 hardly burned at all, and fell after Silverstein admittedly said Pull it and 20 minutes AFTER the BBC reported it. What happened at the other locations gets so much attention, but there is enough evidence in these 2 unheard of buildings to warrant ANY investigation into their collapse. After all, they are not mentioned in the official report, so they have not been officially investigated, right?

I graduated in 2001 from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. During my undergrad education I also interned at a civil engineering firm called V-structural. The company was responsible for making concrete Post Tension (PT) parking garages, bridges and various other large load bearing structures. I graduated from Air Force pilot training in September 2003 and became a KC-135 pilot. I served in the Air Force for 16 years deploying 17 times over the course of my career racking up 3,000+ combat hours in OEF, OIF and OND. While I was in the military I obtained a Masters in Aeronautical Science with an emphasis on Airport Operations from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Worldwide University. I've completed multiple professional military leadership courses to include compartmentalized classified programs and nuclear OPLAN certifications. Additionally, I served under the highest levels of leadership at Air Mobility Command (AMC) Headquarters in the A3 Operations Division and United States Transportation (USTRANSCOM). I hold FAA licenses of an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) and am a Certified Flight Instrument Instructor (CFI/CFII). I am currently employed as a First Officer at a legacy airline with a qualification on a Boeing 737-700/800/900.
The publicly accepted narrative is a complete farce. The idea that an airplane with a finite amount of jet fuel heated tempered structural steel resulting in the free fall collapse of two towers is intellectually insulting and appalling. The fact that many people are unaware that the third financial building, WTC-7, collapsed under the same free fall acceleration (because of debris?!?!) with a BBC reporter commenting on its demise having the building in full view behind her is proof our government has been lying to us about the attack all along. There are too many questions unanswered to unequivocally prove that the attacks on 9/11 were committed by flunky pilot 'terrorists' with virtually no flying experience navigating a precise path at a high velocity into three buildings. A virtually IMPOSSIBLE flight path for a large aircraft to make such an approach into the Pentagon also disproves this garbage of a narrative.

If these buildings fell as we are told they did at the speed they did, then I have wasted thousands of dollars and 9 years of education. Looking at hours of historical data on the design and construction of these buildings it would boggle the mind how that much steel disappeared. Also, unlike any other disaster, the crime scene was tampered with and the steel was shipped to China in the dead of night.

Graduated from Berkeley in 1962 - the beginning of the radical years. HUAC hearings in San Francisco, blatant government lies about Vietnam, CIA involvement in Central and South America, all these things make me very suspicious. The truth needs to be exposed. I'm perfectly happy to accept that no conspiracy happened on 9/11 if it can be demonstrated, but we must know the facts.
This has always seemed strange to me, along with the Pentagon attack where no photographs actually show penetration by an airplane. Whether there was a conspiracy or not, when the government hides facts and information there must be more investigation.

The collapse of a single structure under the circumstances of the events of 9/11/01 is improbable. Three steel structures collapsing vertically at free fall speed, one not even impacted, is inconceivable. - - My training and experience tells me that Tower 7 should have failed asymmetrically, if at all.

How did the 3rd building (WTC7) fall? It was not hit by a plane. It had relatively minor fires burning within and its collapse was reported by the BBC approximately 1/2 hour before it fell with a picture of the building in the background of the reporter's reporting of the story. That clip used to be on YouTube before they pulled it off. It fell completely into its own footprint and looks exactly like a controlled demolition. A building is similar to a tree. If you weaken part of it; for example. by chainsawing part of the trunk then it will fall to the ground on an angle. However, if you take it down in a controlled way, by cutting off pieces at a time then it will come down in a controlled fashion. The same thing had to happen with the 2 large towers. The airplane strikes were a foil or a smokescreen for the controlled demolition explosives placed throughout the buildings. If the airplanes were responsible for their destruction then both would have fallen on an angle into the surrounding city blocks. Instead, they came down at near free fall speed into their own footprints.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

I am a non-licensed, practicing freelance architectural designer. I have had my own business for 15 years, before that I interned in various architectural firms and was a store planner for about 5 years. - - - - I have a BA degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley. I graduated in 1985. After raising my children...I am now contemplating getting my license, finally.
Being from the architectural/engineering field...I have always been fascinated about the collapse of the two towers. I, like many people, viewed the conspiracy tapes on www.youtube.com showing these supposed bombs going off as the towers fell. Frankly...what I saw didn't convince me of any nefarious actions. - - - - I never did quite understand how the building's collapsed completely within it's footprint....instead of tipping over. That always puzzled me greatly. I, like most of America, bought the pablum that they fed us.....it was the fires from the planes that melted the support columns. The fire proofing was either missing from the columns (as they were in the process of retrofitting this at the time of the collapse) or it was knocked off from the impact of the jets. - - - - I read many items on these theories...including a book called 102 Minutes, which pretty much settled my curiosity about any doubts I had. However, I'm not a scientist, or structural engineer so I just accepted what was said....but always had a kernel of doubt still in my mind. - - - - So I hear Richard Gage on KGO, San Francisco this morning and BECAUSE of his expertise and his eloquent explanation about the forensic facts and basic science disproving the story we were given....I sat up and took notice. I think many people are afraid to voice their doubts for fear of sounding like a nut....but when science enters into the facts...I think people will listen. I did.

Type 1 - fireproofed structural steel in buildings just would not melt and cause a controlled collapse in the manner shown as all three buildings did. The structural steel beams and columns had spray fireproofing on it and the buildings had fire sprinklers. The collapse of these building is even more unlikely given the time it took from impact of the planes till collapse.

Continued at University of Oregon 1966-68, with time spent in the U.S. Army in Vietnam 68-69, then back to U of O in 70-72 obtaining a Bachelor of Architecture. Three year apprenticeship working mostly on school buildings and branch banks. Became licensed in Oregon 1976. After experiencing a couple Architectural offices, I formed a partnership with an individual I served my apprenticeship under and the office survived for 28 years. The last 26 years we worked for mainly for only two clients. We did pubs and breweries, hotels, golf ranges, and then more pubs, hotels and golf resort related facilities. A note here: All these hotels and pubs are unique and very special here in the PNW.
I watched the 911 event on television. Although I didn't see the first airplane strike the first tower, I did watch the second plane strike the second tower and then all the other events at the Pentagon. I wasn't aware of Bldg. 7 until later. At the time, I couldn't believe what I saw, and knowing what I know about steel building structures and airplane airframes and skins, I knew that the building shredded the plane like French fries and as to the weight of the plane, I knew that that would not be a problem. So when the building came down I was speechless. I think I said, 'No, that can't happen', but it did. When I became aware of Building 7, I joined this group of A & E''s. Building 7 came down in a controlled demolishing fashion, it was so obvious. I have been watching Richard Gage's efforts and research ever since. Most of my piers don't want to get involved and I don't understand that, other than it is high stress and they already exist in a high stress industry. High stress such as this event s not healthy, most just want to move on. I understand that but continue to send letters to my Senators to review information on 911 Truth's web page. Did it last week stressing the research and data collected on Building 7 in an effort to get NIST to do the right thing.

In this case, it doesn't take an expert to comprehend the massive energy necessary to pulverize these major high-rise towers. They were built to last. As such, buildings like this just don't turn to dust in a matter of seconds as a result of fire coupled with the force of gravity. Other buildings similar to Seven experienced fires of greater duration and intensity and did not dissolve. Only these three buildings disappeared into a cloud of dust taking with them thousands of souls. Why?

The free-fall collapse of the fire protected steel-frame structure of World Trade Center #7 could not have been caused by the limited structural damage and office fires which were observed prior to collapse. The actual scientific/forensic evidence (i.e. Thermate particles in the dust and molten steel during debris extraction), calls into question the official 9/11 Commission report (NIST) and points to a professionally controlled demolition by incendiary devices.

Seeing videos of 'Building seven' falling 'free fall' straight down I began to question the official explanation. Controlled demolition comes to my mind. Free fall only occurs if there is no support. WTC building 7`s entire upper half is observed to free fall several floors. I doubt NIST's explanation that simple fires caused a simultaneous collapse of all the static structures and to make the observed building collapse possible. Repeatedly claims of finding nanothermite in the debris could explain some ... I doubt NIST's`explanation on the cause of the WTC 1 and 2 collapses.

I think the actual collapse of the towers came as such a shock to most people because it was so unexpected and unprecedented. I think most people are aware, deep down, that buildings of this nature do not suddenly come crashing down as they did. I think the strange collapse of WTC 7 really enabled me to take a detached and objective view of the destruction of the three towers and the events of 911 as a whole.
