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.

B.S. in Materials Engineering, Mississippi State University. I was an industrial engineer with Ferson Optics, Bauch & Lomb, Ocean Springs, MS. I was also a metallurgist with Materials Evaluation Lab, Baton Rouge, LA, which specialized in failure analysis. I have a Masters in Student Personnel, Mississippi State University and a Masters in Theological Studies, St. Meinrad School of Theology. I served as the Director of the Office for Social Justice, Diocese of Pueblo. I'm currently a Social Responsibility Minister, Church of the Epiphany, Louisville, KY
I believe all the official stories about what happened on 9/11, particularly with regard to the collapse of the three buildings, are patently false, evidenced by application of the facts. I am appalled that the all the metal beams and other locations of metal, including molten metal, did not go through thorough metallurgical testing and failure analysis. Plane crashes and other accidents or failure events receive full analysis, with no stone left unturned. Here we have the largest metallurgical disaster/attack in our nation's history and the analysis and investigation has been woefully inept. We may never know fully what happened because much of the evidence was destroyed rather quickly after the event. With what I do know, it appears as if these buildings collapsed with the assistance of timed demolition. A thorough independent official investigation has not happened yet and must happen in order to glean as much truth about this major event as possible. The integrity of our nation depends upon this and the responsibility to our nation's citizens demands it.

Originally from Detroit, I have studied or worked in the field of architecture for 12 years, in Michigan, Connecticut, Poland, Florida, and Georgia. I worked under a structural engineer for two years whose primary projects were concrete restoration. Today I work mainly on schools and churches.
The fall never made sense to me. I know a lot about concrete and steel with respect to building failure, and though I have read the arguments for natural collapse and wanted to believe them, my own sense of logic denied me. I read up on the design of Minoru Yamasaki's building (I had once visited his office in Michigan) and I cannot understand how even the heat of jet fuel would have caused the floors to slide the way they did, or so perfectly vertically. Also, I have seen a lot of buildings demolished in Detroit, enough to raise suspicion.

Retired Military. Was a senior personnel and administrative supervisor in various military assignments several continental US and overseas with a wide range of mission responsibilities which would doubtfully be of interest to any reader.
Experts explaining the so called collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings were explaining the reasons for the buildings falling immediately following their collapse at freefall speed. The holes alleged to have been from aircraft were not sufficient to bring buildings 1 & 2 down, and the black smoke fires did not appear to be hot enough or fires large enough to sufficiently soften structural steel, and as well, the surviving emergency workers in very many instances reported both only small pockets of fire that could easily be put out as well as flashes and explosions just prior and during the so called collapse. I personally doubt that there were any hijackers on board and of the airliners that were said to have been hijacked. During the Vietnam war it was my job to process and insure proper identity to all deceased that were processed by the US Army Mortuary, DaNang, Vietnam. We occasionally had to handle the deceased that were killed as a result of Aircraft, and at least once that of a large Airliner. The first evidence always needed was a manifest listing all on board. I was at that time assured that the FAA required that all flights had to have the names of all on board, passengers and crew, as a matter of procedure prior to takeoff. I am sure that that requirement is still in effect. Why were the passengers not identified on the flight manifests? It is a very basic and necessary requirement that would be rigidly enforced in a more modern time as today where there is an even more crowded sky than 1968-72.

Kenneth R. Hattan, Architect
B Arch, University of Oregon, 1972
Vancouver, WA
Occupation: Architect Emeritus
Portland State College (Univ.) out of High School in 1964, Pre Architecture Program. Continued at University of Oregon 1966-68, with time spent in the U.S. Army in Vietnam 68-69, then back to U of O in 70-72 obtaining a Bachelor of Architecture. Three year apprenticeship working mostly on school buildings and branch banks. Became licensed in Oregon 1976. After experiencing a couple Architectural offices, I formed a partnership with an individual I served my apprenticeship under and the office survived for 28 years. The last 26 years we worked for mainly for only two clients. We did pubs and breweries, hotels, golf ranges, and then more pubs, hotels and golf resort related facilities. A note here: All these hotels and pubs are unique and very special here in the PNW.
I watched the 911 event on television. Although I didn't see the first airplane strike the first tower, I did watch the second plane strike the second tower and then all the other events at the Pentagon. I wasn't aware of Bldg. 7 until later. At the time, I couldn't believe what I saw, and knowing what I know about steel building structures and airplane airframes and skins, I knew that the building shredded the plane like French fries and as to the weight of the plane, I knew that that would not be a problem. So when the building came down I was speechless. I think I said, 'No, that can't happen', but it did. When I became aware of Building 7, I joined this group of A & E''s. Building 7 came down in a controlled demolishing fashion, it was so obvious. I have been watching Richard Gage's efforts and research ever since. Most of my piers don't want to get involved and I don't understand that, other than it is high stress and they already exist in a high stress industry. High stress such as this event s not healthy, most just want to move on. I understand that but continue to send letters to my Senators to review information on 911 Truth's web page. Did it last week stressing the research and data collected on Building 7 in an effort to get NIST to do the right thing.

Being an engineer, I firmly trust that the mainstream explanation behind the events which took place on the 11th of September, 2001 are not the truth. For years now, I have been looking for an organisation who is willing to stand up against this with scientific evidence rather than just theories. I am very happy to have come across the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and wish to show my support in the hope that some day an answer will be given for our own justice. It's our right.

I was in the US Army for 3 years, Army Reserve for 9 years. I was an Electronics Technician for 3 years. I was plant Electrical Engineer for an Iron Foundry with five locations for 3 1/2 years. I was a consulting engineer for 5 1/2 years in an prestigious automation consulting company in the Columbus, Ohio area. Today I am a staff engineer for a respected OEM manufacturer. I've been with my current employer for 4 years.
I have long held doubts in private about the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers since I first witnessed it on TV in '01. I was given Mr. Gage's video by a friend and was relieved that I'm not the only professional who feels this way. In my profession, everything you do is calculated to the Nth degree. Everything is precise. Everything is over-engineered for future expansion and controlled for safety. I have built many installations that have met UL, C-UL, CSA, CE, and NFPA standards. Many things I have built have been inspected by federal, state, and local governments. I am very doubtful that the collapse of building 7 was accidental. I have held the belief from day one that the World Trade Center buildings did not implode because of the impact of an airplane. I had watched movies of the remarkable construction of the buildings prior to the attack of 911. To say that the collapse of the towers was due to internal structural failure is a slap in the face of every individual who designed, built, inspected, and approved these structures. That includes federal, state, and local approving bodies. This also includes all standard policy bodies such as UL and NFPA. If I worked for one of these agencies, I would be worried about a law suit.

Occupation: Principal Architect
I am the head architect for Milwaukee County Department of Transportation & Public Works. We provide technical, design, and engineering advice and support for county agencies that own and operate over 800 buildings. The buildings include airports, mental health facilities, courthouses, museums, large horticultural and conservatory facilities, recreation facilities, golf clubhouses, and park pavilions, to name a few. I have over 20 years experience in private practice and was an architect for a fortune 500 corporation for over 8 years. I have a degree in Architectural Engineering with a structural engineering emphasis. I also was an associate with an engineering firm that specialized in the design of underground structural systems and water treatment and transportation facilities. I was personally responsible for the design and project management of some of these projects.
WTC Building #7 could not have fallen to the ground as swiftly as it did without assistance from some outside source other than an aircraft or falling debris. The Empire State Building did not fall to the ground when it was hit by a huge propeller driven aircraft. WTC 1 & 2 should not have fallen either. Something helped those buildings collapse on themselves, something other than those jet aircraft.

It was obvious to me that the official explanation of why WTC1,2, & 7 collapsed did not make sense on the videos alone.

Building 7 is a smoking gun. Buildings do not collapse at free fall acceleration into their own footprint from office fires. There are literally no historical precedents.

I was on top of the WTC 3 months prior to it's demolition. I was back in Australia at the time the Twin Towers collapsed. Totally unbelievable. I shuddered to think that it could have happened while I was there. Watching both buildings collapse reminded me of so many videos I have seen of controlled demolition.

My experience is life itself, if something doesn't look right question it. This is how we learn and experience all. It is only Answers & Questions that give us knowledge, experience, love, and hope.
Common sense dictates that the demise of structural integrity of a building means that the building cannot come straight down.This would have to be at the said points of impact or from fire.This has never been or never will be a uniform process.Therefore the building would have to topple.
