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.

Having watched several documentaries on the destruction of the towers, I have come to the conclusion that the latest information I saw in PBS supports my belief that the destruction of the towers was NOT a normal collapse for bldgs of their type. My experiences with explosives and cutting steel using military demolitions supports the evidence I saw on this informational documentary. I DID believe the initial graphic documentaries describing structural failure of the steel pins attaching the exterior shell to the center core. However, the evidence of explosions, and the chemical traces that have were shown in 911truth documentary are correct in my opinion and support a further investigation as well as prosecution of the parties involved in ordering the destruction of the towers. Lastly, the suggestion that the purpose of the war in Afghanistan is to seek out the cause/director of the plane bombs leaves me with great disappointment and a failing faith in the leadership of this country.

The Authorities all new the towers were a target and they rehearsed the scenario years before. The F-16s rehearsed protecting the buildings, they had the intelligence and the preparation and they stood guard. the warnings were never relayed, the guards were called away on that morning. It's as if it was allowed to happen. Planned out. When I saw on tv the plane hit the building I thought: How could they let this happen? Why did they let it happen? They are not getting away with slamming people in planes into people in buildings. This kind of thing just doesn't happen in this country. We are smart people. We see things like this coming. My concern is not in the way the buildings fell but where they fell. They fell in our faces with our eyes wide open. Who ordered the scene cleared and the scraps picked up so fast? Who picked it up -Military? Private contractors? Who usually cleans up this kind of mess? Was it different this time? why? It's funny how people reacted. For e.g. the notion a lot of people took for the war that freedom isn't free. But that really wasn't it. They didn't get it. The war just added injury to Insult! Hooray for the TRUTHERS Hooray for LINK TV Hooray for The Power Of The People!

I cannot believe that the twin towers fell symmetrically in less than 12 seconds, just because of airplane impact. But the biggest surprise is building 7. I didn't even know about a third building until last year, and it is absolutely unbelievable for it to fall the way it did due to just fire.

It is obvious that these buildings failed due to a controlled demolition. Even if steel could weaken from a jet fuel fire, it would not fail in that manner. WTC Building 7 would have not failed from a simple fire of office furniture. And if it did fail, it would not have a free fall collapse. A free fall collapse can only happen if the structural steel columns are compromised evenly and simultaneously.

The pancake theory of the collapse of the World Trade Center is not logical. It is clearly evident that the buildings came down due to pre-positioned explosive charges, set to go off in sequence. No other steel framed buildings have ever behaved in this manner due to fire. World trade center seven is even more proof that this whole thing was orchestrated by entities unknown.

Recently retired after a 38 year civil engineering career in CA and OR - 15 as a consulting engineer and the remainder primarily in federal government service - COE, FAA, USFS and BLM.
Most state engineering license regulatory agencies state something to this effect: Registrants shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property and welfare of the public. (OAR 820-020-0015) This is paramount to a licensed engineer's duties. I've studied and pondered the information and comments made by engineers and architects who are likely guided by such licensing rules and who have more expertise in the subject than I do - both in and outside of your web site. I believe them. The facts presented make logical sense and reinforces the intuitive engineer in me that thought something was suspicious regarding the events of that day. My doubt of the official story has increased accordingly over time - thus I sign your petition.

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.

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.
