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.

After careful review of the evidence available to me I can not explain, from a scientific engineering view the stated cause of the collapse. Particularly tower 7. I think it is essential that an independent and unbiased study be conducted by a group with no dog in the fight to determine how the towers fell.

I have NO DOUBT that from the physical evidence, and engineering principles, that none of the WTC buildings came down solely as a result of the plane intrusions. It is my opinion that the evidence of an 'inside job' is so prevalent, and so sloppily carried out , that the perpetrators, are ASKING TO BE CAUGHT ! By being so SLOPPY, the perpetrators are inviting us to end the decades of 'behind the scenes/inside job manipulations' that have enslaved so many. Let's honor their subconscious request !

I earned my BSCE degree from the University of Massachusetts with a major in structures and later an MS degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. After graduation from UMass, I was employed in the field by two of the nation''s largest building construction companies, first the Austin Company (a design/build firm) and later the George A. Fuller Construction Company. The construction of one of the Austin Company building projects was the basis of my master's thesis. I also taught building design and construction related courses to civil engineering and architectural students at Vermont Technical College for twenty years.
In 2006 I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed. Professor Steven Jones' video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call. My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones. I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory. I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington: Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated. They are patently false. Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false.... The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning. However, this nationally respected 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7. Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01. Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day.

November 5th 1989 Vordiplom Univ. of Kaiserslautern, Germany, July 29th 1992 Diplom at Technical University of Munich, Germany. Title Diplom Ingenieur of Architecture = Masters of Science. Specialized in theater design and long spanning structures. Registered Architect with the ARB in London UK since July/August 1997. Work Experience:1989 - 1994 multi family residential and mid rise office headquarters, team member at Braun Hesselberger & Patner in Munich. 1994 worked for 3 month with Sir Norman Fosters and Partners in London on a competition for Commerzbank private banking branches. 1994-1997 Large shopping centers as lead designer and Project Architect with Chapman Taylor Partners in London. 1998 - 2000 Large Shopping Centers as lead designer and Project Architect with Arthur Erikson and Architectura (=now Stantec) in Vancouver BC. 2000 - Present large institutional and complex mixed use high density high rise projects with multiple towers. Working as Senior Architect, Senior Design Architect & Senior Project Manager employed with Henriquez Partners Architects in Vancouver BC. Signature Projects: BC Cancer Research Center (~300,000 SF) Diamond Ambulatory Care Center (~450,000 SF) the Woodward's Re-Development Project (~1,000,000 SF, two towers up to 42 floors, two mid rise mixed use buildings with integrated theaters, university campus, offices, social housing and market residential & complex underground truck loading facilities). I am currently in charge of a twin tower project in downtown Vancouver.
In my professional opinion it is impossible that Building #7 collapsed in such an orderly and neat fashion without a controlled demolition. Such relatively small fires on just a couple of floors never in the past have lead to the collapse of a high rise building of this construction type. The official explanations of the 'one column failure' would lead maybe to a partial collapse or at least to a very different collapse pattern. Also we have to question, why was the collapse of Building #7 not part of the official report? If the twin towers collapsed in a sandwich fashion as per the official report, the stair / elevator cores should have been sticking out maybe even many hundreds of feet up into the air. They should have been left standing at least partially, or if the the foundations were damaged at the impact of the falling tower floors, they may have toppled over as a whole or in large sections, taking out surrounding buildings. I find it further suspicious that such enormous amounts of dust were trailing parts falling from the twin towers. Also the strangely burned cars found on the other side of Manhattan Island demand investigation and better explanations. Where are the engines of the aircraft? They are built in a way that at least major parts of them cannot burn up in the heat generated by a fuel fire. Why can one see something which looks clearly like molten glowing iron on many images and video clips? It is my understanding that many firefighters and maintenance staff heard explosions but were not asked to testify for the official report. I further understand that there were witnesses seeing white trucks pulling up in front of the twin towers and staff with equipment entering the building in the late night / early morning hours every night for about 3 weeks prior to the 911 events. I understand these witnesses were not heard. There are many other items which in my opinion need explanation and further investigation, but it will take too long to list all of those herein. I am not a US citizen, but I have many cousins and their families living there. This event impacted all our lives and all our countries. My home country Germany is in the light of the unfolding refugee crisis particularly impacted by the long term results of the US politics triggered by the 911 events. Therefore all citizens of this planet have a right to demand a better explanation and to see a new and much more thorough investigation into the events.

The three WTC buildings offered little or no resistance to collapse into its footprint at freefall. The Pentagons strike left office furniture and a open book intact although officially - the intense fires were supposed to have vaporised metal. Windows on either side of the impact hole in the Pentagon wall where the wings should have crashed into were left intact.

From a scientific point of view, it is absolutely impossible that the 3 Towers collapsed because of fire. The explosion clouds, as well as the free fall, makes no sense at all to me. There must have been resistance by the massive core columns, almost solid steel columns in the lower floors. I want to see the truth investigated about 9/11, which had so many consequences for everybody in the world, even till this day. The people responsible must be found.

I am a Spanish architect, with almost 20 years of working experience. I work on my own. I have built, for example, an 11 story building in Madrid, using concrete (floors -2 to +6) and steel frame (floors +7 to +9) structures. I am not familiar with high rises, but I have wide general knowledge of construction and standards.
All I ask for, as an architect, is an investigation that is also open to the possibility of explosives. In order to explain the destruction of those three buildings, it must review all the evidence, and all the testimonies of fire fighters, policemen, and all the people who where present that day.

There is no way any of the three buildings that collapsed on 11 Sept. 2001 did so without some kind of explosive or other device that removed all columns instantaneously. It is also clear that the steel could not have melted into fountains of molten steel merely with the airline fuel explosion, as temperatures would have been too low. This was evidenced by the free fall motion of each of the buildings, when they collapsed straight down as though a controlled demolition had occurred. There was also clear trajectories upwards of pulverised building materials caught in the footage of the event. This could not have occurred due to a pancake collapse theory. Indeed, had this happened, the remains of the buildings would not have disappeared. As I understand it, there is no case in history of a steel frame building collapsing completely due to fires.

Project types include residential, health care, projects of many types for the life sciences and high technology industries, commercial and corporate offices, and public work.
It seems clear from the evidence that the 'official' version contains significantly erroneous information. The fuel load from the jets plus the fuel load from the building interiors was insufficient to result in melting of high strength structural steel. The building we impacted and damaged asymmetrically. The symmetrical collapse of both towers is improbable at the very least. Likewise, there is also no probable scenario for Building 7, given all evidence. The presence of chemical compounds indicating the presence of explosive materials used in demolition remains an unexplainable fact.

"I watched the planes crash on television in our workplace cafeteria. I, along with the other architects and the engineers, were shocked. We all stood around asking ""how was that possible?"" A major building to go down like that is what building demolition experts pray for and often enough, things go wrong. How could the twin towers collapse so 'cleanly' and so precisely? It defies engineering logic."

I have believed from the beginning that this was a controlled demolition just watching it happen. I have been in the building and was familiar with the design by Yamasaki. I worked for architects who were key people in his firm. I knew that the building was supported primarily by the elevator core. Later I heard that men had been doing work in the elevator shafts for many weeks leading up to the disaster. From there, I read a number of articles on who may have been responsible.

Son of an architect and grandson of engineer. All my family is full of architects and engineers, expert in structural analysis and construction myself. I studied as all we do in Spain lots of structural analysis. My final project with and A score was about a tower in the desert involved in with the experts in the field. In my career in Yaeger and Jordan and in other construction companies such as CEC and OCISA (old ACS). I have collaborated in many projects mainly in the field of construction and restoration.
A friend of mine and I elaborated a model that could replicate the official version of the events in the computer, and there is no way that a commercial airplane could completely destroy into dust these buildings. Many events in the history of US wars have been based on similar events that the official version could never justify until the truth is exposed too late for people to care about. Just an unfortunate event that the mass media accepted as it is and that the people care less and less to solve (so there is a problem with the official disclosure of events that must be solved no matter what). Just the truth and nothing else deserve the people.

The 'planes' going into the WTC were, in my opinion, used as missiles and the buildings imploded from controlled demolition. I had projects in the WTC. I know they were designed to withstand the impact of a plane. I knew the buildings very well.

I am a licensed architect and I have a 5 year Bachelor's Degree from an accredited University in the USA and over 30 years of experience working in the profession of architecture for new buildings, additions and alterations using many different structural methods.
From the videos, and from watching at a distance from NJ, and from experience watching planned implosions, the losses at the World Trade Center appear to be of a planned demolition.

Ever since my studies of architecture, my professors and all professional literature have stated that STEEL BUILDINGS with proper fire safety WILL NOT BURN DOWN. Not even after a week. The day of 9/11, I was working on an Army base in Germany and was immediatly suspicious about the official narrative on TV. Not only the construction details did not make sense, but also all of the MILITARY PROCEDURES that supposedly didn't work that day, it was just way too much. I hoped that an investigation would clarify the events after the dust settled, but only inconclusive nonsense got published. Anybody with open eyes and basic knowledge about construction and demolition knows that buildings DO NOT COME DOWN IN FREE FALL, except with intensive preparation and installation of explosives at the exact spots. Otherwise, the building will incline to some side and cause major destruction. What was seen at 9/11 in NYC is in no way possible as officially declared. Only a real investigation of ALL EVIDENCE will bring the truth. It is time to get this truth to light!

It is obvious the 3 towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Fire and even burning jet fuel will not produce enough heat to melt or weaken the steel structure to the point of failure and collapse.

The travesty of the 9/11/2001 attacks on the American citizens is an obvious conspiracy of the highest order involving multi-modes of conventional and advanced technology and multi-state actors to wage war physically and psychologically on the American public as well as simultaneously obfuscate huge transfers of wealth to the perpetrators. The failure of the US Government to conduct a competant and thorough investigation while offering explanations that defy the Laws of Physics, conceal relevant facts and shield the real terrorists adds insult to injury. The failure of the media to promote truth and tranparency further betrays the public trust. Truth and justice is due to the American people.

I believe that these buildings were damaged using explosives. There is no possibility to get this result another way.

Originally from Iran, I've been working as a freelance volunteer and traveling architect, planner, and designer since 1990. I've been as far as India, the middle-east region (UAE, Dubai), Iran, Africa, The Lakota nation of South Dakota, and Irvine of Orange County, USA. My 1979 H.S. diploma in Burlingame of Bay area, from Field-Moore Academy (mathematics), 1980-81, Rio Honda community college (computer software), 1981-87 University of Nebraska at Lincoln (Bachelor of Architecture, completed / masters in CRP, not completed) My very last AIA international associate position as both the client as well as the firm representative and project coordinator with former famed Hollywood actor Mr Russell Means of the Lakota nation of South Dakota and the Coop Himmel-Blau architecture firm.
At the time of the attack, I was in my Tehran, Iran office which our time zone was between 10-11pm working on my soon to be due submission for a Church design for the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church here in Irvine, CA. My UAE partner, Dr. Paxima, was visiting me pertaining his theme vacation destination, including Las Vegas style private resorts, for the first time ever in any Arab nation, specifically for Hollywood actors and actresses. My firm was hired by him to design and develop it. All of a suddenly I received a txt message from another partner of mine saying that if we had access to a high speed Internet, after saying yes, then he told us to go to cnn.com and check out what's being reported. Once at cnn.com, we were watching the first tower smoke raising from it, and we're in shock, however at first I thought it was a preview for an upcoming Hollywood movie premier, until the second airplane ran into the second tower. Now I have been traveling in and out of USA twice a year at least and almost every time coming in, I would stay with our family member, who is a Jewish Navy Lawyer living in the Flat Iron bldg, whose mother in law was visiting them, when the first explosion happened in the basement of one of the towers. I couldn't believe what I was seeing was true, so tragic. I was even very naively telling myself that how much more dumb was the second pilot who could not see such humongous bldgs in the world and followed the first pilot unintentionally!!! Then I remembered my cousin so I called him to see if they were okay and that if they also knew about what was really going on as to whether the whole thing was for real or a sick joke hoax. After many tries of calling with my international calling card, they would not respond so I decided to email them, which in my utmost unbelief, he acknowledged that the news was unfortunately 100% tragically absolutely true and not fake. And that's when it really hit all of us in Iran.

There are powerful interests who do not want the facts of 9/11 known or it would have been investigated as a crime immediately. The challenge will be finding an investigator fearless enough to go wherever the facts lead, but if there is such a person in the US, he or she would never be appointed to lead an investigation of 9/11. Therefore it's equally or maybe even more important to uncover the facts and publicize them, as AE911truth.org is doing. That needs to happen before 9/11 goes down the memory hole.

I took my degree in architecture from 1987 - 92 (5 years degree). Immediately after, I worked at an architectural office in Lisbon but quickly found my happiness working for myself, which I have been doing since 1997.
The WTC destruction, or better yet, controlled demolition and faking of a terrorist attack is the most blatant crime I can remember in my 50 years of life. I believe that if the truth is to be uncovered, it will be a decisive turning point in the way things work. I really am hoping for a quick resolution to this disgraceful situation so as to: give some sense of justice (if possible) to the victims families and to bring the real criminals to justice, signaling to all others that the days of impunity are over. This will be an hugely important precedent to change the derailed and asphyxiated American justice system.

There is enough evidence to justify a new independent investigation. A government that has nothing to hide should not stand in the way of truth finding.

The video evidence clearly and forthrightly shows explosive ejections far below the zone of visible collapse on all three buildings. This, for me, is sufficient to investigate in excruciating detail, the actual causes of the collapse. Steel does not fail in this manner. The evidence collected thus far is conclusive in my mind that the towers, which were designed to withstand the impact of a jetliner, did not fail from the impact of the airplanes or the subsequent fire.
