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: Computer Consultant
Retired United States Navy. My primary function in the military was to coordinate and oversee large scale operations, coordinating and organizing enormous quantities of personnel and complex equipment required to carry out diverse and wide ranging tactical objectives. I also worked as a Command Assessment Inspector/Evaluator, in this capacity I was required to evaluate all aspects of military bases and individual command departments to identify in command performance, or any violation or deviance from established procedures. I have also been trained and worked as a military police section leader (Equivalent to a civilian Lieutenant). I have several IT certifications, and have experience working with large scale networks, military, and industrial networks and computer terminals.
I make no attempt to identify or otherwise present any personal conclusions as to what may have actually caused the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, nor do I endeavor speculate as to what have induced individuals to participate or contribute to the events of 9/11. I do sincerely believe that there is adequate evidence, and reasonable doubt is present to justify an independent investigation of the manner in which these buildings failed and lapsed to the ground.

I am a non-licensed, practicing freelance architectural designer. I have had my own business for 15 years, before that I interned in various architectural firms and was a store planner for about 5 years. - - - - I have a BA degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley. I graduated in 1985. After raising my children...I am now contemplating getting my license, finally.
Being from the architectural/engineering field...I have always been fascinated about the collapse of the two towers. I, like many people, viewed the conspiracy tapes on www.youtube.com showing these supposed bombs going off as the towers fell. Frankly...what I saw didn't convince me of any nefarious actions. - - - - I never did quite understand how the building's collapsed completely within it's footprint....instead of tipping over. That always puzzled me greatly. I, like most of America, bought the pablum that they fed us.....it was the fires from the planes that melted the support columns. The fire proofing was either missing from the columns (as they were in the process of retrofitting this at the time of the collapse) or it was knocked off from the impact of the jets. - - - - I read many items on these theories...including a book called 102 Minutes, which pretty much settled my curiosity about any doubts I had. However, I'm not a scientist, or structural engineer so I just accepted what was said....but always had a kernel of doubt still in my mind. - - - - So I hear Richard Gage on KGO, San Francisco this morning and BECAUSE of his expertise and his eloquent explanation about the forensic facts and basic science disproving the story we were given....I sat up and took notice. I think many people are afraid to voice their doubts for fear of sounding like a nut....but when science enters into the facts...I think people will listen. I did.

How the 3 towers failed defies the science and rules which we practice under as a profession. With respect to the future growth of knowledge, this event needs to be investigated correctly. We need to determine how the science of structural engineering and material properties seemed to stop being valid for that 1 day, for those 3 buildings.

I am a retired structural engineer with a doctorate in engineering from Stanford University.

I was a member of the board of the California Regional Architects at Palmdale CA from 1990-98. I remain an active consultant for several notable firms including AECOM Technology Corp. (Los Angeles), and ARCADIS (Emeryville).
I am absolutely convinced, based on the pattern of structural collapse, the positive results for nano-thermite by Dr. Neils Harrit in his oft-cited paper, and the suspicious behavior of the government during and after the official investigation, that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down via controlled demolition. A separate, publicly funded investigation is necessary to catch the true culprits of this vicious crime.

As physicists, we rely heavily on the accuracy and reliability of NIST's work. NIST's Final Report on the Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 nourishes serious worries about the way this important and renowned institution deals with basic physics, conducts measurements, and how it handles scientific discussions. This is why I think that an independent investigation of this matter would be very much in the interest of the entire international scientific community.

When I saw the towers on television, I was surprised to see and hear a controlled demolition. I've seen and heard them before, at close hand. I am a chemist and physicist. I know that an oxygen-deprived smoky kerosene fire isn't going to bring down buildings like that. Didn't need to anyway - plastic explosives did the job.

I was an aircraft firefighter for jets and Helicopters in the Marines from 1981-1985.
In any airplane crash, even into the sides of mountains, there is always engines, landing gear, and even tail sections left pretty much intact. I saw none of that here or at the Pentagon. The reported cell phone calls from the airplanes would have been virtually impossible for several reasons. Among them are the clarity and quietness of the call. Have you ever tried to make a call from a cell phone in the air? Even today!. How about the constant noise from the plane. There was none of that humming wind type noise. Another thing is the calmness of the people making the calls. Just listen to some average 911 calls from people in an agitated state. These people were on the ground. You could hear a lady in the background saying something like 'You did well' to the flight attendant making a call supposedly from the plane in the sky. There are many other things about this that don't make sense. The mainstream media going from always saying hijackers to suddenly using the term terrorists and the medias use of repetition to hammer their narrative into our brains. They tried to convince us that what we really saw was not right and they put in to our heads what they wanted us to think.

I was a fire specialist. Training in fire prevention and fire management. I also have some experience with movie editing. Those buildings came down due to explosives placed inside the buildings. Not being hit by planes.
Airplane fuel is comparable to Kerosene in its composition. It doesn't get hot enough to melt steel beams. It was simply controlled demolition and that is the truth.

My father was a machinist, welder, designer, mechanic, tool maker.I worked with him growing up. I worked in body shops before entering the Navy, and was sent to ship fitter school. I worked as a welder, sheet metal fabricator, pipe fitter, fireman, and damage control man. My last command was aboard a fuel tanker rigged for underway replenishment. My division was in control of liquid cargo, JP5 jet fuel, black oil, and 100+ octane aviation gasoline. We did all the fuel testing before we accepted it on board, and tested it again before pumping it to other recipients.
JP 5 will not reach hot enough temperatures to melt structural steel, even with forced air behind it, like a forge or hawk burner, at best the heat is 1000 degrees short of melting steel.Having been a firman in school, we had to extinguish a roaring compartment fire that had oil in the bottom with a good draft, nothing melted. When buildings burn down, they burn fir awhile, parts collapse, other parts calve, but they do not all of a sudden fall in perfect symmetry at the speed of gravity!
