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 official stories are just impossible to believe, the exact same failure/collapse on three buildings, only two having been even struck/damaged. Falling in free fall into their own footprint (path of greatest resistance!). In fact, in Structural Engineering classes at Montana State, the scenario of an airliner hitting one of the WTC Towers was actually studied, (and determined to be safe). The professor discussed that this scenario was actually considered in the design of the towers, and they were designed to withstand it.

I have a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

I was a GS-13 Acquisition Program Manager at Hanscom AFB in Bedford, MA. working for the U.S. Air Force and am now retired after a 30 year career, 5 years blue suit and 25 years Civil Service. I have extensive experience in acquiring weapons systems in the areas of Acquisition Logistics, Acquisition Program Management, and Quality Assurance. I was the Logistics Director for Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade to upgrade the NORAD Command Center equipment in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado. As director I was responsible for the acquisition and sustainment of the upgraded NORAD equipment. This required a knowledge of the specifications and operational requirements and the testing to insure the equipment meets the required operational objectives. I worked many types of acquisition purchases and fielding of equipment. Minuteman III Reentry systems, Radar Systems, Intel Systems, and Nuclear Survivable Communications Systems. I also had TS clearances with many other intel, nuclear, and other clearances.
My relevant connection to understanding part of what happened is that In the 1990's, I was the Director of Logistics for the Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade program to upgrade the NORAD Command Center in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have an understanding of the operations of the entire system as the Logistics Director. I know our equipment tracked exactly where the planes were after the aircraft transponders were turned off, I am aware of the response times the military must intercept potential dangerous aircraft. I am aware of our strategic and tactical operations for protecting our country. I am aware that a squadron of intercept aircraft would not be taken off alert unless another squadron was assigned to cover for the coverage area. I am aware that if a training operation takes our aircraft away from their assigned coverage areas, other backup aircraft would be assigned to provide coverage. Someone was ordering our intercept aircraft away from the towers and the Pentagon to allow the commercial aircraft to hit their targets. I've heard VP Cheney was giving the maintenance stand down orders to block operational coverage while other aircraft were sent out to sea on a training mission... It would have had to be someone very high in the chain of command to pull that off (like VP Cheney).

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

Occupation: Architect Emeritus
Portland State College (Univ.) out of High School in 1964, Pre Architecture Program. 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.

I think that is almost impossible that the three Buldings collapsed like that: -The undamaged parts of the building is collapsed like the damaged parts. -An almost vertical collapse -The debris ended up in the basement like a controlled demolition. Why the Pentagon when hitted by the plane of the same type has suffered so little damage?

I regard neither the official highjackings to be credible, nor lack of USAF response. To describe the destruction of the Twin Towers, in about 10 seconds as a 'structural collapse', howsoever caused, implies physical impossibility as any such (non-demolition) collapse must necessarilly proceed much slower than the free-fall speed of just over 9 sec from 1365 ft. To be destroyed so fast, it must therefore have been demolished. The buildings did not collapse in their footprint but turned substantially to powder and blew away in the wind. No plausible conventional mechanism for this exists, especially the impact of aeroplanes & any subsequent fires. The unusual top-down demolition of the Twin Towers appears to have required the presence of the 'planes to mask the major destructive event that travelled downwards ahead of the 'collapse wave'. WTC7, however, was clearly different and bears all hallmarks of a classic demolition job. I view it as implausible that it collapsed solely due to fire, both due to the manner of its collapse, and the lack of any precedent. And furthermore, certain eye-witness statements clearly indicated pre-knowledge of its destruction (as did media reports), while others heard explosions before WTC7 finally collapsed. I also understand NIST failed to carry out any search for explosive residue, even though it is clear this would have been the most probable cause, and as required by the building code. This indicates, at best, incompetence and makes the case for revisiting the investigation overwhelming.

My education and past work experience has taught me many things. Regarding the Twin Towers and Bldg 7 specifically, I am in 100% agreement that buildings do not just fall down into their own footprints at freefall speed from fires OR from airliners crashing into them. I watched that fateful day as the buildings crumbled to the ground, not questioning how or why they fell because I was in a deep sense of shock. I didn't even want to see or rewatch the videos until years later when as most people did researched the internet on the topic. This is where I came upon your website. I have watched your videos, listened to your interviews with true professionals in the field and I am in total agreement with your findings. I am truly disturbed that our own government agencies have dismissed these professional's questions and opted to lie and hide the real supported evidence in an effort to make it go away. I sign this petition in an effort to let our government know that I was fooled for a small time but I am NO LONGER. I support your efforts and will distribute this website and your word until WE the American people can let our voices be heard on this very staged action against us AND until the real people involved in these actions are finally brought to JUSTICE. Thank You to everyone involved with this website. God Bless all the 9/11 victims and their families as well as ALL Americans.

The reported events of WTC 1 and 2 are never scrutinized because most people argue from a position with a political bias. However, no child, citizen, party, or government can ignore the blatant disregard for the truth regarding the collapse of WTC 7. Physics does not yield to politics, except when the subject matter is 9/11.

Recently I achieved a Fetac Level 6 Award in Management and have contributed to both local residents groups and online forums offering advice pro bono publico - i.e. gratis.
My initial thought on hearing that Osama Bin Laden was the alleged mastermind behind it all was this - There is no way that some guy sitting in a cave in Afghanistan was behind all this. Given my knowledge of how buildings behave in fire and having seen many videos of controlled demolitions I have no doubt in my mind on a professional level that WTC 7 was a controlled demolition. While there are other circumstances involved including two impacts, I am persuaded by the rate of collapse and the cover up of forensic evidence that WTC 1 and 2 were also controlled demolitions.

Plastic injection molding has been my trade for 17+ years. I have been using scientific molding principles for 3 years. I use advanced technology like cavity pressure sensors, high temperature controllers and statistical analysis software to determine repeatable processes.
I have been suspect of this since the day it occurred. I was watching C-SPAN two weeks or so before and there was a man talking about how he was going to reduce the size of the military by closing down many overseas bases. This cannot be ignored as it was clearly a threat to the industrial military complex that this nation depends on so much for economically. I was working second shift that year and was home that day. Upon hearing the news my supervisor called me and I even mentioned that this could be an inside job designed to start a war. This was all said before the towers even fell. The fact that they all three fell straight down like a controlled demolition is so unlikely, unless it was controlled.

Yes, I believed from that morning on 9/11 that those buildings had to be brought down by explosives. I remember the people on tv had heard explosions in the basement, plus I remember hearing explosions while they were interviewing these people. Also I remember seeing explosions on the side of the building as they were going down.

NIST's report concluding that WTC 7 collapsed as a result of structural failure caused by fire is incomplete at best and disingenuous at worst. A new independent investigation is warranted and should be commissioned to fully investigate the possibility of collapse by controlled demolition.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Liberty University enrolled in the practice of Computer Engineering. I have been exposed to fundamental concepts of both the Sciences and Mathematics, with fresh experience in the world of physics and engineering.
The moment my eyes saw the way WTC7 collapsed, something felt by far unnatural. From watching the tech briefing on how WTC7 collapsed from the NIST, it only raised my suspicions further due to their weak explanations on the matter. My opinion on the matter is simple; someone, whether it be one person or a group of people from the NIST, is going through great lengths to not be assumed responsible for something that we don't know yet. With regards to their statement of endangering public safety on the investigation of how WTC7 truly fell, it can be speculated that the truth behind the events would enrage fellow citizens that were deeply impacted by 9/11. To sum up my thoughts into one coherent conclusion, NIST's explanation is just unfeasible. Even though I'm just a student, it's pretty obvious with common sense that WTC7 was NOT pulled down by office fires, and this only makes them ever-so-suspicious with regards to their declination to investigate the area.

I have been performing construction starting at 13 years old in HVAC/sheet metal Fab.Also doing odd jobs in residential construction up to age 17 when I opened a subcontracting company to beform interior buildout in a commercial industry.a list of jobs worked on while company was opened as reads Hannible elementary school,Oswego Town Hall,Hilton Garden Hotel, Syracuse hulers wearhouse/office building, [OCC,TC3,Morrisville colleges] with many more working as an interior contractor .Then closed my company at 19 while working on the Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse NY were I worked as a plumber pipe fitter for 1 year for NCMI. I was on the project from ground/roff up it was a 6 story addition off the top of the working hospital. I know four trade of construction proficiently ,I now how to build structures many different ways they are constructed and so on.
As above I have been there and built that I do know how buildings are constructed and what it takes for them to fall. I have always watched demolition crews in person and on TV bring down big ,small,tall, short ,wide, narrow ,structures be demolished and have taken part in predemo while seeing the first tower fall in perfect proximity yet only having damage to the upper 1 corner i said to my self and others around that that was a perfect drop and from what I know about doing so [which is not much ]that it was not caused from the plane. In order to do something of that magnatude with that precision that it was a highly planned event from pro's. Followed by whispers of the towers having so called problems in the months and weeks prior to 911. With crews in and out during that period I have and always believed that it was a conspiracy by our Goverment/ I for one of probably a few million know that a building of this size could not nor would not fall so perfect unless it was extensively planned for months.

A primary concern is that the NIST report did not even test for explosives. There is certainly enough evidence to support the hypothesis that the building collapsed by controlled demolition. This should be enough to motivate a new investigation to address the oversight of the NIST study.

I am industrial engineering student at UW-Milwaukee. I will be graduating in December 2012. My limited technical experience includes the following: November 2010 - April 2011 I worked as a research assistant in an ergonomics laborotory. I collected data on different tests designed to look at stroke survivors' ability to grab and hold items. February 2011 - Present I currently work as a systems engineering intern for a company that designs and assembles conveyor and associated conveyor components.
I have been researching the 9/11 incidents for close to 5 years. Taking into account: first responder interviews (found all over YouTube), comparing the collapse of all three towers against a controlled collapse, collapse at or near free fall acceleration, no precedent for a high-rise collapse due to fire in human history, the incendairy thermite and nano-thermite found everywhere in the dust particles, and, the mid air pulverization of tons of steel and concrete I have come to the conclusion that the official story is false. A new investigation is completely warranted.

I have concentrated my work in electrical automated systems and computer based engineering and computer simulation. I also have worked with 3D animation and I study natural systems in nature, both static and dynamic.
I watched the second plane fly over and hit the second tower from my terrace, nine blocks from the WTC. My life changed forever that day and I have never recovered. Having lived in NYC for a long time, all I can say about the original location was that the towers were so alive and beautiful and the people who worked there were full of hopes and dreams for their future. What they got was not the American dream. It brings tears to my eye every time I think of 911 and the friends who were lost there.

Repair electronic devices, repair TV's, repair motors. My main thing is solving problems. I am 62 years old, 40 years solving problems. I can fix motors and anything electronic. I also rebuild houses.
These buildings didn't fall down. They are built of steel and cement. This was done by a demo team. They lied about how it happened. Radio controlled planes? Number of people who died on 9/11? They lied about all that happened. Don't trust anything they say.

I believe that the Bush administration, the owners of the WTC, and other business men that profited off the collapse of the towers. Tower 7 was just in way of the new layout. Read Robert Baer's See No Evil it will explain everything in a great fictional story of how he was framed and went rogue.

The physical evidence does not support the official explanation of 9/11 WTC building failures. An independent and publicly accountable investigation is in order.

Obtained bachelor and Master from Drexel University. Was researcher at Dexel. Was Architectural Engineer and desined Building of 17 floors. Ddesigned Commuter tunnel up to 1979 (a 300 million $ project) in Philadelphia. Became bridge Enginner expert in Cable and orthotropic decks. Wrote paper on probabilistic stregth of cables damaged by corrosion. Coauthored manual on same subject.
Aside from the explosions and the melting of steel, I find it impossible that the top pancake could detach from all of its supports at the same time. The failure of those connections, if caused by fire should be slow with visible deformations of the Building, they should be random and at time intervals. I do not believe that the potential energy of one floor relative to the flor below could cause release of such violent energy

The manner in which the buildings collapsed makes me believe that they were destroyed by more than the plane crashes. The most likely cause was controlled explosives.

I did not realize that there was actually a formation of a group or organization that is stating the thoughts that I only have kept in my mind. It amazed me to think that a plane alone could actually bring down a building as these did. These ideas expressed on this site only seem too logical and obviously should be investigated, if only to make the practice of architecture and related construction and building fields take heed and learn from them.
