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.

In 1995, I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Math minor). Since then, I have worked in the computer industry for over 12 years. I'm an experienced programmer and professional network and system administrator.
There are many inconsistencies between the official explanation and the facts. Here are some observations. 1) The lateral ejection of 20 ton steel beams hundreds of feet from a building--some reportedly in clean even lengths. 2) The beams were ejected in absolutely symmetrical patterns. (see http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/mushrooming.html) 3) The manner and speed of collapse were suspect. WTC1, WTC2, & WTC7 did not topple over as you might expect from a building weakened unevenly due to fire. 4) The mass of a fully loaded 767 with fuel would be less than 1/10 of one percent of the above-ground mass of one of the twin towers. 5) A variety of dust samples have proven the existence of iron-rich microspheres commonly produced by thermate reactions (explosives). In fact, the existence of these spheres has even been documented by the government. Some people may say that it is not likely or highly improbable for the trade center towers to have been wired with explosives due to the difficulty involved. This reasoning is used to dismiss any possibility of this scenario actually having occurred without considering the real evidence. Please find out the facts yourself. Don't let the so-called 'experts' (PhD or otherwise) and network television make up your mind for you. Attempt to understand and evaluate them yourself. Do your best to critically evaluate their statements to understand who has credibility and who doesn't. It is very important to consult experts, in print and on video, but do not let them make up your mind for you. Find out who is trustworthy and well-grounded in scientific principles, such as the founder of this group, Richard Gage and many others in the truth movement. Thank you.

People cannot imagine who caused the buildings to fall, beyond what they have been told, but we all must face the fact that these buildings were pulled. Once it's a mainstream idea that other factors were at work, we can move on to more of the truth. How can we build more buildings now knowing that our safety codes are so inadequate? Unless of course, the buildings were blown up!

I've been a practicing Architect for 20 years and have designed numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings. More recently I've performed construction administration services for a new $120M high school campus including a $10M steel-framed gymnasium; managing construction documentation of a mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq. ft. of retail and 320,000 sq.ft. of high-rise office space - altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
The WTC Twin Towers and Building #7 appear to have been brought down, not by jet impacts and/or fires as we have been led to believe, but by controlled demolition with explosives. The evidence noted on AE911Truth.org and other excellent websites is prima facie and will, with the increasing public awareness and demand for the truth, result in a new truly independent investigation with subpoena power. A/E's must now become leaders for 9/11 Truth - Join Us!

I'm a lifelong resident of HI, but have a brother who viewed the whole incident from several blocks away. The fact that the truths of this world may be completely different than the reality I perceive bothers me and I am always seeking a little more enlightenment. Life is good in paradise, but the truth, however difficult to swallow, will always lead to better educated decisions and hopefully a better world for future generations.
The slide show clearly details questions that need to be answered. This event has become a critical component of our world view and our country's perception of its role in the world and the future of billions of human beings. It is too important an issue to leave this many unanswered questions. We need a non partisan and, hopefully, non governmental examination coordinated by boards and licensing bodies with the technical expertise to analyze the events thoroughly.

I was shocked to learn that Bldg.7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Investigation Report, as it is in my mind the key event in questioning all of the happenings on 9/11. But when few people even know that the building existed, it is difficult to discuss with them what happened to it and how it relates to the overall picture.

The government conspiracy theory does not hold up to scrutiny. As a professional with over 30 years experience working with gas turbines (jet engines) and fuels - kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn in any open flame hot enough to effect steel - well under 1000 deg F. Also bogus are the explanations regarding why no planes were intercepted. SOP is they are always, always intercepted if they stray off course and/or turn off the transponder like these flights all did. No command decision needed. Has our government ever been untruthful to us?

I have BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering. I won a nationwide engineering competition during my senior design project for my BS degree. This offered me a paid research position at Oak Ridge National Laboratories to do my Master's thesis research, and I worked there for a year in their materials science division. I specialized in heat transfer and fluid mechanics for my thesis, as well as materials science. Graphite foam was the material I used for my research, because it was newly developed and has many applications due to its extremely high thermal diffusivity and conductivity.
9/11 was the most horrifying day in American history. To any engineer or physicist, it is also one of the most mysterious days in our history. On that day, the official story claims that small range office fires (less than 10% of the total floor area) made two 110-story skyscrapers burst into dust in 10 seconds each. At 5:20 pm the same day, WTC7 also collapsed. NIST noted that WTC7 fell at 'free fall acceleration' for 2.25 seconds of its collapse, which proves that that tower was demolished. For a building to go from being in static equilibrium one second to undergoing full free-fall acceleration into its own structure the next second, the interior structure of the building must be compromised before those members were forced to buckle due to being overloaded. The twin towers collapsed very fast as well, at over 80% the acceleration of gravity. Since the bottom sections of each tower were undamaged, and also built with thicker columns than the top section, one would expect the collapse to slow down and then stop as floors were being crushed (absorbing kinetic energy). However, this wasn't the case. If people continue to believe the lies we were told that day, our country is doomed to a future of tyranny.

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.

An honest inquiry is well overdue; the 'official' story never made sense, and the Commission was admittedly set up to fail. It is criminal that perpetrators of this monstrous evil go free.

As I watched on live TV as the planes hit the buildings, - - their collapse was consistent with other controlled demolitions I have witnessed. Plus, building 7 dropped in the same manner without being struck by a plane or missile.

I am a concerned American citizen that truly believes the the Sept.11 2001 twin towers and building 7 were explosions after watching the documentary 9/11 exposed, those witnesses in that film are not making that up and for what reason, the government is hiding behind we are all a bunch of right-wing crazy conspiracy theorists, and I want to know the truth, we Americans have that right to know the truth and a re-investigation is necessary into what made those fall like they did.

I always wondered how fast the three towers collapsed. I was never convinced by the commission or the government that the collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7 was the result of the two planes that crashed into WTC 1 and 2. After watching many experts and I now certain that there were explosives in all three towers. So the collapse of the three towers were controlled demolitions.
