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 graduated in 1998 as a civil engineer, specializing in structures, roads and railroads in the ISPAJE, Havana City, Cuba. I first worked in Cayo Largo del Sur, a tourist island in southwestern Cuba, in the construction of two hotels: Sol Club Cayo Largo and Barcelo Cayo Largo. In 2006 I started working in Jamaica on the construction of 3 hotels: Iberostar, Palladium and Secret. I am currently building and remodeling apartments and houses in the area of Montego Bay.
When I saw the collapse of the buildings on television in Cuba, I remembered what my professor of Resistance of Materials said: the laws of physics can never be violated. When I watched the program on the Discovery Channel about the collapse of the towers I thought one of two possibilities existed: either it was a fault in the design of the building or it was a controlled demolition. The last explains everything without violating the laws of physics.

When I saw the first building come down, live, on 9/11/2001, I told my wife that building was demolished by explosives and some other stuff. From that day forward, I have told folks that the laws of physics would have to be suspended for me to believe that the buildings collapsed because of a plane hitting them and a 'fire'.

Watching 9/11 unfold on the TV that fateful day like so many others affected me deeply. The loss of life was so horrific it is no wonder it took me 5 years before I was able to open my eyes to real information without all the emotion getting in the way. When I did, to my utter surprise, I found the video evidence did not match the official story. I think anyone with eyes to see, who takes the time to watch all 3 building collapses several times will see that they are not collapses at all, but explosions! Then, when you dig a little deeper, you find that every part of the 9/11 story has huge holes in it. As a citizen of this country I demand a true independent investigation (NO POLITICIANS OR INSIDERS) of what really happened on Sept. 11, 2001.

Given that the need for a new Pearl Harbor was announced by the crafters & signers of The Project for a New American Century in order to hasten their objectives TWO FULL YEARS before the 9/11 operation took place; I was not completely surprised when it happened. There is a huge old secret government WW2 bunker under Grand Central Terminal in NYC. It so happens has private rail line connecting into the rest of the subway system. Cheney uses this system regularly to this day. (as seen on the Discovery Channel) I believe it is the logical the staging area for the men and materiel needed to place the devices in WTC 1,2 & 7..... in my opinion.

I became keenly aware that something wasn't right about the whole scenario surrounding the collapse of two skyscrapers. Having grown up in the shadow of the Empire State Building in New York City in my youth and young adult life, I remember hearing in school that lower Manhattan was Ground Zero in the event of nuclear attack. Living and working in skyscrapers is the norm in NYC. They are virtually indestructible given the amount of steel used and a history of over-building these structures. Then I saw the Loose Change video and that opened my eyes in disbelief that our government could do something like this and hope to get away with it. Let's start with independent hearings to determine the cause of failure of these buildings from a scientific analysis. Let the evidence lead us from there towards criminal prosecution of the guilty.

I've always been employed by large firms in general practice, with my last 20 years spent in construction administration work. I was supervising architect of the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno, NV, and project architect of Sheraton Grande Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.
I have watched two documentaries about the tower collapses and one about discrepancies involving the aircraft; I now believe that we have been totally lied to about what happened with regard to this tragedy. However, it's clear from the magnitude of the operation and coverup that it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to ever bring the actual guilty parties to justice. I think that this is but one example of the way that the 1% have taken control of this country. Forty years ago one of my college history professors said that there would someday be a revolution in this country and the government would be very surprised who joined it. I think that day is not far off!

I majored in architecture at U.C. Berkeley, became an architectural draftsperson and later AutoCAD specialist before becoming licensed to practice architecture in the State of California in the late 90's. My license is current and in good standing.
From the moment I first saw the tower collapse on TV it seemed clear and obvious that only a planned demolition could have achieved the observable results, so I was surprised by the conclusions of the official 9-11 report. At this point I reviewed the evidence, which only substantiated my initial impressions. The ample video and photographic evidence combined with a basic knowledge of structural engineering leaves little doubt about the collapse being caused by anything other than a planned demolition.

The current official report is a national embarrassment. The corruption must be exposed and everyone associated with the criminal execution and cover-up most be prosecuted. The criminals must not be protected for reasons of 'national security' but must rather be held accountable in the best interest of national security.

The NIST report referenced throughout the official 9/11 commission report has too many inconsistencies with expert analysis and eyewitness / first-responder testimony of what happened on September 11th, 2001. There are too many repercussions from not putting forth the effort to speak truth to power and demand a new study be done on what happened on 9/11 and who was behind it. This is the next step we need to take to bring catharsis to the families affected by the attacks and justice to the people committed this crime 13 years ago.

I truly believe that the towers were demolished strategically, because, as an architecture student and graduate, part of my education included the potential strength of steel structures and construction used in architecture, and I know that steel is extremely strong and can't be destroyed by normal fires alone.

I cannot understand how a layman would believe the narrative of fire bringing down an entire steel structure in the manner that the 3 towers fell on 9/11. Anyone who has ever witness a fire of any scale would realize that it burns asymmetric and causes unpredictable and imbalanced collapses. The absolute vertical collapse of even one tower due to an asymmetric fire is a near improbability. Three towers on the same day, one with minimal fire damage is a mathematical impossibility...unless it were intentional.

I'm an architect not a demolition engineer, but I find it impossible to believe that two effectively identical buildings, hit asymmetrically, at differing levels, would collapse in a similar manner at near the speed of a falling cricket ball without 'inside' help. And as for WTC 7... you've got to be joking. Sounds extremely fishy to me.

To me, the statement about 9/11 is clear enough for any person that has been studying in the field of construction : no way the building collapsed by itself in so few hours and within this way, and impossible too that WTC7 been pulled down so quickly after the attack without any preparation first.

"I have lived in Las Vegas NV and I have observed many intentional building demolitions that appeared identical to the 9/11 building ""collapses"". When I watched the 9/11 attacks I thought to myself that those buildings were designed to withstand this type of calamity. Yet they collapsed perfectly, without harming any adjacent buildings, just like a controlled demolition."

I have a BA in psychology from Trinity University/San Antonio and a M Arch degree from the University of Texas/Austin. I worked in firms in Austin, Houston, and Dallas before working for 20 years as a corporate architect and project manager at Marriott International HQ and Sodexho (Marriott) HQ in Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD (NIST was 'next door'), and Austin, TX. I currently have my own design/build management and consulting business in Texas and Virginia. I have acted as project architect, project manager, and project director on many projects in high-rise buildings in Dallas, New York City, DC, Virginia, and elsewhere. I spent many years managing projects in mid-town Manhattan while living in the DC/Maryland suburbs. Not long before 9/11, I was at the WTC meeting with the Port Authority to evaluate their RFP to manage the operation of the Windows on the World Restaurant. On 9/11 I was driving back to Maryland from Florida where I had received a national design award for a project I had designed and built.
On 9/11, my wife (and eventually our 4 children) were in our home in Frederick, MD as both the Pentagon and the Shanksville incidents occurred. These events geographically 'book ended' our home and shocked us all. We also lost a member of my mother's family (the McBrayer Scots clan, who came to America in the 1740's) at WTC 2. His name is Ken McBrayer. He worked for Sandler O'Neill & Partners. He was on the 104th Floor that morning. We are all 6 degrees of separation at most, of course, including the other million and counting who have been lost in the senseless, criminal wars and other illegal operations our country has launched based on a dark and terrible lie. There is more than enough evidence regarding the building collapses to require a real world, independent, and 'under oath' investigation into them. There are so many troubling questions that all of us, including the casualties, are owed answers to. We must demand this as citizens. Our nation, our constitution, and the world will never return to even a semblance of normalcy until the events of 9/11 are subjected to a genuine investigation. It is not yet too late. Justice is not just needed, it is absolutely required. Like so many others, I am shamefully late in coming to this. I always questioned the 911 Commission Report but was not totally aware of all the others out there working selflessly for an investigation. Being of an age to remember JFK, the Gulf of Tonkin, MLK, RFK, Wellstone and so many others almost leaves one too cynical and shell shocked to keep paying attention. My children, the arc of justice can be slow. Metanoia is painful. However, this must be done.

I remember quite vividly when the buildings came down ' I saw it on TV in real time. I was stunned, it didn't make any sense to me, especially that they came straight down. I asked many colleagues including structural engineers to see if I had missed something. No one had a good explanation. And I was unaware of any steel framed building that had collapsed as the result of a fire. I was not particularly aware of Building 7 until I saw the video at the AE911Truth booth at the AIA convention. That collapse really doesn't make sense. I don't know what really happened, but I am glad to know that there are lots of others with specific knowledge of building structural performance who are also wondering. The official report seems to be full of holes.

Graduated from Cornell (BArch) in 1996. I worked for a while as a film (Avid) editor and eventually returned to building as a project manager.
What architecture student hasn't watched a video of demolitions in structures class? It seems obvious that the first two buildings were destroyed by demolition. The disconnect happened when the media failed to explore the possibility. When I learned about WTC-7, I knew for certain.

The 'official' NIST explanation for the collapse is not just an impossibility. It is not just an insult to the intelligence of construction professionals - but of everyone.

I've studied the structure of building 7, the collapse, & much more material. That collapse is impossible without cutting near all the columns together, as is the case with a pre-determined demolition. Building 7 was also shown in a BBC video collapsing in real time, over the shoulder of a reporter who was telling us it already collapsed 20 minutes earlier. All the tower fires across the world have been analysed, not one matched the details of the 911 events. The collapse of B7 must have been pre-determined and not part of any knock on affect from the other collapse over 400m away. As for the twin towers I have serious problems with the media story. It does not add up. A side point penetration would have created a sideways falling, not free fall straight down. That is elemental. I do not believe the account given by government, 'official' investigations and media.
