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.

At the moment I saw the first tower fall, it was obvious to me that the collapse was too symmetrical and too rapid not to have been assisted. - - - - The falling of the second tower in a similar manner, in a similar time frame was beyond any reasonable coincidence. - - - - An obvious insurance fraud (and likely much more) that needs a thorough investigation.

BE in Mechanical Engineering from Victoria University, Melbourne Australia. I studied building engineering for two years and mechanical engineering for four. I have 16 years of mechanical engineering experience dealing with material sciences, thermodynamics, and mechanical stresses.
In my opinion, the probability of bringing three buildings down with two planes hitting in random locations is nil. The energy of impact combined with the potential heat energy stored in the fuel was mostly dissipated in the first few minutes leaving only the potential energy of the structure itself. The result should have been a gaping hole in two buildings and burnt out floors in another. What we saw instead defies the laws of physics and common sense.

I have been working as an electrical engineer for over 5 years. I am deeply interested in studying the events of 9-11, arguably one of the most pivotal events in modern human history.
I never questioned the official explanation of events of 9-11 until the winter of 2006 when I saw a brief video on youtube of WTC 7 collapsing. At the time I never even knew there was a 3rd building collapse. Even though it's difficult not think of the political implications, I try to focus purely on the physics and science of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapses. After reviewing the videos and witness testimony of the building collapses I have very little doubt that all three buildings were brought down in a controlled manner.

The explanations given regarding the tragic events on 9/11 do not match with the evidence shown. The melting process of steel is not instant allowing a building to free fall perfectly vertical, four times in a row especially. The fourth building wasn't even hit, had a small office fire, and the same thing happened to it as well. Witnesses to large explosions knew it was coming down before it did. Steel would warp, and twist since the fire was not perfectly distributed, and the fail points would give away at different times due to varying loads, and design variances before failing in an uneven, and much slower fashion.

My initial reaction to the 9/11 'attacks' was in line with what the mass media fed us and the official reports that finally emerged about the cause of the collapse of the twin towers.Years later upon viewing a AE911truth video about the unusual collapse of WTC 7 my curiosity and suspicions were whetted and I sought more information. Since that date to this, the evidence out there of controlled demolition of the towers is so glaringly obvious that it begs disbelief that the 9/11 Commission Report still stands as the official account and there still lacks the political will to conduct a proper scientific and forensic investigation.

I have been working as a practicing architect since my graduation in 2002, under the care of a fully licensed architect. I have also completed my internship, but I just never took the exams. I can complete town-approved drawings for residential homes (start to finish, including structure design), and have put together many packages for small scale commercial buildings.
For many years I went along with all reported news on the destruction of buildings 1 and 2 without knowing anything about building 7. A few years ago my girlfriend had me watch a documentary on the destruction of building 7, which really made me question my thoughts on it all. Since that day I have watched, read and reviewed everything I could get my hands on (including the actual building plans you have on your website) and have come to realize that many reported facts simply can't be true. The sentence That's just not possible is a phrase I now use often when it comes to this subject.

I have 10 years of experience in the construction industry as an architect, mostly in conservation (as well as sustainable architecture). Conservation necessitates looking at old buildings and existing evidence of what happened in the buildings life. Looking at how buildings deteriorate or fail sometimes and assess method of rescue, reuse, adaptation and so on, is part of my everyday livelihood and experience.
Looking at the evidence of the 9/11 it makes me question what the media and government had broadcasted at the time, and that the debris was swept away so quickly without scientific investigation is not right. We need to learn from the experience, not run away from it. If we are to protect people's lives in the future, we need to know what the real destruction process was, how any aspect could be improved (whether it is building design/layout, engineering or security... ) and not let the distraction of the crashing planes play smoke and mirrors with us. Facts, for better understanding. Truth, for building a better future.

There are too many reasonable doubts about the official story, especially in the anti-aircraft defense, or the exact cross-cuts in steel construction. Also the vertical collapse is implausible!

I could never see how any high-rise structure, especially the WTC, could fall apart and downward so symmetrically without its structural connecting points having been strategically blown out at timed intervals. I was initially stunned and just dumbfounded after seeing them come down in 2001 but had an uneasy feeling about the explanations given for this terrible event. I am glad to see architects and engineers coming together to lend their expertise towards finding a more rational explanation than what was provided.

I was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. My father worked in the financial district and ran for his life when the buildings fell. I wasn't sure that day if he survived. I believed the lie that the towers collapsed due to fire for a decade, until I started seeing some videos and documentaries online that presented irrefutable evidence that those buildings were demolished, which can only indicate foul play. This is one of the most important organizations in demanding a new investigation into the destruction of the three WTC towers.

I worked for medium to large architectural firms on projects of varying sizes, both residential and commercial. I established a private practice specializing in residential and small commercial projects. I became LEED accredited in 2005. Throughout my architectural carrier, I have produced artwork based on Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry.
It is obvious that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. This fact has huge consequences for our nation and the world. We are at a crossroads. How we come down on the two sides of this issue will bear heavily on the direction of humanity's future. At the here and now, we must find the courage and perseverance to uncover and confront the truth wherever it may lead. Only then can we begin the work of fashioning a better world. I am proud of our profession for taking the lead on this issue. Our expertise, our ability to reason and present complicated concepts, our integrity and professional restraint are precisely the qualities needed. At this moment in time, we are the ones.

The first thing I thought when I saw the video of the skyscrapers' fall was how much it looked like 'scheduled demolition'. And then randomly Building 7 collapses the same way from small interior fires. From my personal education and experience, the only times buildings have fallen so gracefully was when careful thought and expertise have been in play. However, regardless of my personal opinions, the fact remains that a thorough investigation was never fully conducted or completed. The 'official' cause of destruction was full of inconsistencies and defiance of the laws of physics. The collected evidence points to different conclusions and those need to be released. The people deserve to know the truth.

I have been a licensed architect since 1996 and have had my own professional practice since 2000. Though my career has involved more interior design than building envelopes, I have worked on a wide variety of projects in type and scale.
Since the day it happened, it has always seemed odd that there was no unbiased investigation into why the towers (and WTC Building 7) fell. With so much time elapsed and the debris removed from the site, I don't know how it could possibly be investigated now, but I am willing to show my support of this endeavor.

There is no history of any high rise building collapsing from relatively minor (or even major) fires. The isolated damage to #7 could not have made the building collapse. Also, it collapsed from the bottom, bringing the entire building down on its foundation as would be entirely expected from a planned implosion.

Clearly, from the visual evidence and information acquired to date, 7 WTC was demolished on purpose, not as an accident due to collateral damage resulting from the WTC collapses. The ultimate questions to be answered are who caused this to happen and for what reason? Paul Broches FAIA
