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.

Occupation: Building Construction Management
I have an Associates Degree in Design Technology with a specialty in Architecture from Ivy Tech State College in Indiana, as well as a Bachelors Degree in Building Construction Management for Purdue University. I have extensive experience in the construction of some of the largest and most complex steel structures in the World. structures such as The Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas, and other miscellaneous Hospitals and airports in Arizona, Nevada and California. I have a very thorough understanding of how steel structures are designed and constructed to accommodate all forces associated with live and dead loading, and I'm also very familiar with ASTM testing standards, and IBC and UL code requirements related to the fireproofing of structural steel members.
For the government and its authorized investigative reporting entities to claim that the collapse of these buildings was caused by fire and gravitational forces is impossible, and not only an insult to the intelligence of the American people, but to all people of the World! The truth must be uncovered at all cost!!

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from NCA&T and a MS in semiconductor physics from RPI. I currently work as a Patent Examiner at the US patent and Trademark office.
For the last 15 years, I believed much of the US government's account of the events of 9/11. However, after actually taking the time to do my own research I became aware of a number of troubling facts surrounding that day and the days leading up to 9/11. However, what really began to raise doubts in my mind was the way in which the towers fell. Although, I had seen the footage many times before, I decided to take a second look at the collapse of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 not from the emotional or human perspective but through the eyes of an engineer/physicist. What I had failed to notice, even as an observer trained to examine events based on the laws of physics, was that all three buildings fell at near free-fall speeds with little to no apparent resistance from the floors below. This is physically impossible without the use of some form of controlled demolition charges. This realization shook me to the core and forced me to reaccess my world view and the version of history I had been given. I add my voice today to the many other scientist and engineers who are demanding the truth in hopes that if enough of us voice our concerns based on factual evidence and professional observation that the whole truth might be disclosed.

My aunt, Dale Sztejnberg, was working in the upper floors of the WTC tower on the morning of 9/11. She was killed in the explosion. My family came to the US from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s, leaving a country built on lies top to bottom, for one we knew was built on truth and justice. It's horrifying to deal with the death of a family member, along with the deaths of thousands of other innocent people, at the hands of our new homeland. I need to know who destroyed these buildings. I demand an investigation.

Once I snapped out of the 'fakestream' media brainwashing (the false narrative that keeps being played over and over) I can see so clearly the deception and how Tower 7 is truly the 'smoking gun' in this event. It is interesting that once you release from the brainwashing, you can see clearly the truth in the entire set of events that took place on 9/11 and how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together. I am saddened and embarrassed for my fellow engineers who have put their intelligence on the shelf and have succumbed to the lies. It is ironic that junior high and high school physics is all you need to solve one of biggest crimes of our times. Thank you to all of you out there who saw the truth early and have been on an arduous journey to awaken the rest of us!

It is absolutely clear that the government LIED about their involvement in the demolition of the twin towers, and Building 7. - - It is obvious that this was done to make trillions of dollars for the Industrial Military Complex, and to create an environment of fear enabling the government to increase control of many of our precious rights and freedoms. It is high time these criminal conspirators were brought to justice, so that our nation can heal, and we can begin to restore our stolen freedoms and liberties.

Diesel mechanic by trade, seventeen years in the industry, specializing in all aspects of heavy truck/machinery repair and maintenance. Welding, cutting, and fabrication (steel and aluminum) are a big part of my trade. Through the years I have also worked for a few welding companies, and I have done both construction, and demolition. Some of my hobbies include astronomy, electronics, automation, exploration, and researching just about everything that tickles my fancy.
I was a volunteer working at Ground Zero with a mobile welding company. We were one of the first non-union welding companies on site. I remember as we rolled up, the dust in the air was still very thick, and covered everything in the area making it hard to focus. As my eyes adjusted, and I got my first good look at the pile that was once 2 World Trade Center, I was in disbelief! How could such enormous buildings have made such a small piles? Then I noticed many of the surrounding buildings didn't suffer any significant damage, and the streets and walkways were clear of large debris. All the columns seemed to be so neatly stacked, and the rubble so concentrated in such small areas, it seemed there had been a cleanup effort going on for days before we got there! And this was just about twelve hours after they came down! Impossible I thought. This cant be right! I turned to my friend and said These buildings couldn't have come down any cleaner if it was a planned demolition! He agreed! We didn't give it much more thought at the time because we had one hell of a job ahead of us. After returning home I really started to think about the whole situation. Nothing made sense about it! So I started doing my own research. I've seen every theory from alien technology to nanothermite paint. The only thing I can say for certain is that the reasons we were given for the collapse of those buildings are a lie! I still live with nightmares from my experiences on the pile. And every time I see it played over on the news I can still smell it and taste it in my throat. Hopefully the nightmares will be the only thing that plagues me and I don't develop cancer as well. Either way I will pay my dues for my good deed, I just want to know the truth! As do many other people around the world who don't live with their heads up their asses! I think We The People deserve it!!

I tend to view conspiracy theory material as a skeptic, and this is how I approached this issue. After reading peer reviewed studies done at Brigham Young University, I began taking the issue seriously. The fact that many other high-rise structures have sustained fires for long durations without structural failure really makes me question how Jet A fuel burned at atmospheric conditions (sustained fires, post-explosion) could possible generate heat necessary to compromise the structural integrity of the steel to result in structural failure. The near free-fall collapse speeds (documented on video) of the buildings doesn't seem possible from a localized structural failure. If there was structural failure as a result of fire and impact, I would expect an asymmetrical failure of the buildings however the buildings almost entirely upon themselves. I would like to see some more research done upon this subject.

I have several years experience in Municipal Engineering and site design and 10+ Years experience in the structural design of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures of steel, concrete, masonry and timber.
For me the most convincing aspect that the 911 collapse was a controlled demolition is the recorded explosions on the 9/11 Eyewitness DVD. The explosions, along with the uniformity and totality of the collapses, when added to the 100's of so-called coincidences on, before and after that day, add up to more evidence of a Government involved crime than has convicted most people in our prisons today.

Even at the temperatures of building fires, the steel of construction could not lose sufficient strength to collapse under a partial structure load as is evidenced by 15 and 29 floors weight for each respective twin tower - the design load factors are simply too high to permit such failure. If mechanical failure were to occur, it would have occurred almost instantly and certainly asymmetrically.

Clear facts brings one to conclude that the collapse to the two WT towers were not the result of domestic air flights crashing into the towers and that bldg. # 7 was a controlled demolition. The 2010 video by Electrical Engineer in the UK suggests round, anti-gravity, missile/drone as seen on live TV channel 4 broadcast on morning of September 11, 2001...worth investigating more in depth, in my opinion.

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.

I am fascinated by architecture in space and understanding how to make the structures the most efficient and sustainable.
I became aware of the 9/11 issue when a former classmate told me his engineering professor claimed that the WTC7 collapse was the result of a controlled demolition. Since then I have researched many documentaries and studies presenting evidence that this indeed was the case. I believe a thorough investigation should be demanded and done immediately. I personally believe the Bush administration had full responsibility and most likely executed the idea and fabricated the account in the media. I must say it's nice to finally see the mainstream media shed some light on the matter.

From the first image on TV as I watched the collapsing World Trade Towers on that fateful morning, my first thought was this: What I am seeing is impossible! Airplane crashes cannot have this effect. Building Seven's collapse was equally unbelievable. The minor fires in that building could not bring the building down symmetrically in its footprint. No fire ever before that day brought down a steel-framed highrise. The University of Alaska report is in perfect alignment with the expectations of professionals in the building industry.

Based on experienced logic and the conclusive evidence that your campaign has produced it is clear to me that the government explanation about 9/11 is untrue. The question of why they lied about this incredibly destructive event should be the most important question posed to our officials in the history of the United States. The actions of our government following 9/11, and their use of 9/11 as justification for those actions, makes it essential to search for the truth of how those buildings were erased and why. Why were they taken down and why did our government lie about it?

Having re-looked at the footage recently and thought about how buildings actually perform in the event of fire (regardless of cause), I realized that planes alone could not bring down / pulverize a building into dust! This is a simple fact. If you consider that all the floors below the plane strikes were untouched by fire or impact (the towers were built to withstand plane strikes)... their structural strength would be intact and therefore could NOT simply collapse.

After viewing your full length DVD, I can now definitely comprehend why AE911Truth.org strongly believes that the three primary World Trade Center towers were aided in their destruction by the use of well-placed explosives, as would be used under controlled demolitions. This requires the need for further investigations as to how & why this happened.

Deceased. I have a Bachelors of Architecture from The University of Illinois, 1962. I was licensed in Illinois, and have been licensed in California since 1973. I'm a laboratory design consultant, and have built and consulted on 300 science and research labs worldwide.
On 9/11 I was scheduled to attend a meeting at the Pentagon regarding a project I was doing for the Navy. I know we were not told the truth about what happened there or in New York. Highrise buildings do not collapse from fire, and the WTC buildings were designed to withstand being hit by airplanes. We clearly need an unbiased investigation into these events.

Architect. Master Degree. Have been working with construction of smaller buildings, and have knowledge about high rise buildings.
Laws of physics cannot be overruled. A building built with safety-factor 5, and strong enough to withstand storms, earthquakes, planes etc can not 'fall down' like it's made of paper. Buildings have resistance to collapse - that's why they don't just fall. When they just fall, the construction has been tampered - and I would like to get further into this problem.

I am an architect, educator and licensed builder. I have a BS in Environmental Design from University of Massachusetts Amherst, 1976, and a B Arch from Boston Architectural college, 1986. I began my career as a project manager with a number of large architectural firms in Boston before I started my own firm, Timeless Architecture, in 1988. I have been promoting and teaching green design for 25 years, starting with the Boston Society of Architects, where I served as co-chair of the Committee on the Environment (COTE), a sub-committee of the BSA that promotes sustainable design in the New England region. I currently teach at the Boston Architectural College in their Sustainable Design Institute and master's program. I lecture frequently in New England conferences for groups such as the Boston Society of Architects, Boston Area Solar Energy Association, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, and Timber Framer's Guild, and have served on the faculty of Wentworth Institute of Technology. My work has been published in the Boston Globe, Architecture Boston Magazine, Preservation Magazine, Builder Architect Magazine, Cape Cod Islands Home and the Milton Times.
I've been inspired to get involved in this effort by the work of the A & E technical and building professionals like National Medal of Science recipient Lynn Margulis, PhD. With Chris Gruener MA, LMHC of the Boston 9/11 Truth effort, we have submitted a workshop proposal for the ABX 2015 Conference next November in Boston at which Richard Gage AIA has agreed to speak. Here are the learning objectives we have spelled out: 1. Attendees will learn about the dynamics of the three largest high-rise building collapses in the history of the world, with an overview of the National Institute for Standards and Technology final report issued on July 22, 2004. 2. Participants will learn about the destructive capability of high-rise fires, their inability to overcome protected steel frame construction, and peer-reviewed scientific evidence published after the WTC events (compiled by A & E for 9/11 Truth). The use of explosives commonly used in controlled demolition is directly implied by this evidence, which is reinforced by eye witness testimony. 3. Attendees will be introduced to the issues a confirmed controlled demolition would bring up, including massive loss of life, and the ethics and accountability of those involved, including their prejudicial endorsements of the official National Institute of Safety & Technology 9/11 Report. 4. Participants will explore the unique role the building community can play in the critical debate on how the three World Trade Center skyscrapers were destroyed. As with the debate on climate change, input from professional groups like the AIA and the ACSE to educate the public and support a new investigation should help heal the deep wounds left by the tragedies of 9/11/01.

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in architecture from the Oxford School of Architecture, Oxford, UK. I then moved back to the US to work as an apprentice in the Master of Architecture program at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale AZ. During this time, my interest in the connection between landscape and architecture grew. After spending a year as an apprentice, I met a multidisciplinary designer named Pliny Fisk in Austin, Texas. I then moved to work with Pliny on the Texas A&M solar decathlon project, and I eventually attended Texas A&M where Pliny was signature faculty in the architecture department. While completing my Masters degree in architecture, I constructed my off grid shelter in Tuscola, Texas near where I grew up. I also collaborated with numerous architects and designers on award winning building projects around the world. Since that time, I have continued to work on projects at a variety of scales and types with an emphasis on connecting buildings and people to places with design. I'm currently a project designer at Laguarda Low Architecture and Planning in Dallas, and owner of Taproot Studio: a residential and commercial design practice.
To AIA members who voted down AIA Resolution 15-6: Why wouldn't you investigate a circumstance indicating that current best practices in steel building construction are endangering the lives of everyone in and around the building? How could you assert that you are upholding the reasonable standard of care if NIST says that low temperature fires in steel buildings can and do lead to free fall collapse scenarios as seen in Building 7? While some of you may suspect that NIST is being deceptive, you may view the incidents of 9/11 as disconnected with your own life and practice. If so, you're wrong there. If you let building 7 go uninvestigated, you set the stage for a repeat scenario (and in so doing fail to uphold the professional standard of care), as it could be your building next. We don't know how to safeguard against the real threat until we investigate a circumstance and determine the cause. Anyone with university level education in architecture in the U.S. has no excuse for not demanding an investigation into the collapse of WTC 7 in the interest of improving design factors and codes for steel construction.

I have two degrees in architecture, one from Rio Hondo College, and a BS from Cal Poly at Pomona. I'm a licensed architect in California. I'm president of an architectural company with two divisions: 'MBA Architectural' and 'MBA Educational Horizons'. I've practiced architecture and have offered preparatory courses for over 30 years to candidates in the process of taking the ARE-NCARB exam and CSE exam as well as professional courses for practicing architects. I've taught at UC Irvine and some other colleges. I've taught in-training programs (ARE & professional subjects) for architectural companies and various AIA offices throughout the United States.
There is much to discuss about the events of 9/11, beginning with why it happened and who might be behind it. It was a major distraction from some events and announcements that were to take place that day; they would have revealed some truths about our world and some of the lies we have been told, among other things. We could also discuss building designs and how to withstand emergencies, evacuations, etc. The events shaped mainstream people's beliefs and prejudices; they induced tremendous fear in people and divisions between them.

I commenced my trade apprenticeship and engineering traineeship in 1977, working at the BHP Steelworks, Newcastle NSW. On completion i moved to Canberra, ACT, to work on projects such as Australia's Parliament House, Defence Force Academy and other significant projects. I returned to my hometown to study architecture and have been self-employed as an architectural consultant since late 1996 to present day.
I remember watching the event unfold on TV here in Australia. As shocking as the act itself appeared, when I saw the buildings collapse I was incredulous. Tall modern buildings are designed to withstand far greater impacts than airplanes i.e. earthquakes and hurricanes. There is no way that an airplane could demolish (to the ground) a high-rise building.

I saw WTC collapse when I was student in VGTU (Technical University in Vilnius). I suddenly realized, that it looked like control demolition. Nothing else. All these 15 years of my professional career I studied buildings construction failures, repairs after earthquakes and fires. I should say, that my opinion just improved with the knowledge and experience. Buildings doesn't collapse the way we see WTC collapsed vertically. If there were local construction failure, it would collapse partly, non symmetrically. It's absolutely clear, that authorities hiding something. It's absolutely clear, that American citizen and the rest of the world should know the truth. I believe that AE comunity will make it possible. And I am proud to be a part of AE for the 911 truth!
