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.

Building 7 is the most glaring example of an inside job. It looks exactly like all the buildings we have seen demolished using controlled demolition. In the twin towers you can clearly see explosions and debris shooting out many floors below the collapse zone. The buildings fell at (WTC 7) or near (Twin towers) free fall. I have been studying this event for four years and I do not believe the official story.

I did a much simplified finite element analysis of the 9-11 structures (twins and Solomon) using ANSYS w/the autodyn plug in. The speed of the falls and the downward force impulses that would have been created by the plane damage made many at UTA suspicious of the 9-11 investigation report. It is my opinion that a more complete and thorough FEA survey than the one I performed will help erode the credibility of the 9-11 report of record, and provide political pressure to bring those responsible for the 9-11 murders to trial. I am willing to volunteer time in working toward this goal, if anyone is interested and has access to FEA software, please contact me at cattleprods [at] hotmail.com and I will donate time to further this cause.

A summary of the structural analysis of the twin towers, carried out by the firm of Worthington, Skilling, Helle & Jackson, which can be found in the 1964 files of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, claims : The buildings have been investigated and found to be safe in an assumed collision with a large jet airliner (Boeing 707-DC 8) traveling at 600 miles per hour. Analysis indicates that such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse. The planes hit the towers on 9/11 at 440 mph and 540 mph, so the kinetic energy was below the design parameter. No collapse should have occurred. The temperatures of the burning jet fuel should have been around 360'C, which have never ever in history damaged a steel structure. That's why the firefighters went up the towers to knock down the fire with two lines, as we could hear over their radio. Those buildings were demolished with explosives, like 118 firefighters witnessed. Employees of NYC, Michael Hess and Barry Jennings, confirmed also hearing explosions in WTC-7, when they were looking for their boss over there, mayor Giuliani, who was already posted in a safer headquarter. They were lucky to get out alive. It's interesting that the 9/11 commission dare not to give any official statement on how this building could possibly have collapsed, because the level of junk science they would need to prove this would surpass anything they performed on showing the twin towers collapsed due to only two forces : a plane impact and fire.

Kalamazoo, MI
Occupation: Architect (Retired)
In private architectural practice from 1979 until retirement in December of 2019. Primary work has been in small commercial and residential design. Received a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Detroit (now Detroit/Mercy) in 1970. Interned with Eberle Smith in Detroit, MI; Kingscott in Kalamazoo, MI; and Tower Pinkster in Kalamazoo, MI.
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.

Joseph has been involved in the design, management, and administration of architecture and construction for over 30 years, responsible for built projects worth up to $2 billion. He is the former President and part owner of the construction management (CM) firm that directed both the $115 million Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District's ES Reconstruction Program as well as Murrieta Valley Unified School District's $180 million Capital Improvements Program, both in California, and was Principal-in-Charge for over $1 billion worth of projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District. In addition, he has owned and operated several companies, including CM, architectural, and a mid-sized construction firm in Los Angeles. Joseph offers to clients a strong background in CM, construction, architectural design, strategic/long-range educational facility planning, and technical support specializing in the management of multi-million dollar, multi-project capital improvements programs directing hundreds of technical professionals. Joseph began his architectural career by obtaining a Masters degree from UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. After that, he had the privilege of working with the world-renowned and cutting-edge architecture firms of Morphosis, Charles Moore and the Urban Innovations Group, Eric Owen Moss, and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall (DMJM).
When I watched the buildings burning, I was, of course, shocked. But when I saw them pancake down, I knew immediately that something was truly amiss. I know from the experience of being involved in the design and construction of high-rise office buildings that the pattern of collapse was just too perfect, and that the amount of debris left at the bottom was too small for the amount of steel, concrete, glass, and furnishings that make up structures of that immensity. Also, unless the destruction is carefully planned, there is always some weakness inherent in the construction that will make the building list to one side during a natural destruction. Strange, indeed.

It is my belief that WTC 1 and 2 were taken down by non-conventional controlled demolition in which the buildings were exploded from the top down and the large core columns were cut using thermite. WTC 7 was taken down by a classic implosion demolition. All three buildings could not have collapsed/pancaked while falling in on themselves at near free fall speed.

the facts are obvious and i am disgusted by the way they are being ignored by otherwise intelligent people. i believe if a true investigation were carried out, the people truly responsible for this tragedy could finally be brought to justice. i also believe this will probably never happen, but i will continue to hope.

Just an average guy leading an average life. The older brother to Sam and Emily - awesome people, and have a lovely partner in Lauren. Very much into 9/11 truth and the quest for justice, as well as just being a good friend, partner and brother. Was lucky to meet and sit with Richard Gage at the Hard Evidence tour down under in Nov 2009 in Sydney AUSTRALIA and he's an awesome person and true patriot. The event was excellent.
Had the Government showed footage of a proven controlled demolition on nationwide television and said that fire caused the collapse, not one person on planet earth would believe them. So why do they believe the 3 WTC buildings collapsed this way? Wake up people, research the HARD EVIDENCE and have your eyes opened to the biggest lie EVER perpetrated against mankind.

I am a citizen of the United States and I am very concerned about the truth of the 9/11 event. The facts point to very different conclusions that what the United States citizens have been lead to believe from the fourth estate of this country. It is time for all good statesmen to come to the aid of their countrymen. If we do not find the truth now, we may lose it forever. Time is of the essence. As someone trained in scientific method it is a great challenge to my intellect to be expected to swallow the lies any more.

Building 7 made it easy to see explosives were used. Upon fact checking NIST's own words, it becomes evident they are lying, shifting numbers, & commiting massive scientific fraud. Basic high school physics proves NIST is lying. The double talk from George Bush made it easy to see the lies come straight from the top down.

I am a theatre major, originally from Indianapolis, IN, but recently relocated to Cincinnati for schooling. I have taken only a few political science classes, but the 9/11 tragedy has always been a very captivating and misleading event to the public. I would just like to contribute to the investigation because I firmly believe our government sacrificed all those lives just for the money that war generates! Sad, but I'd love for it to be exposed... it's sickening.

I have no technical training in any area which would be considered relevant to the investigation. I have a retail and banking background.
The official version needs thorough investigation. The fact that there has been admission by NIST that Building 7 fell at free fall speed for a couple of seconds proves that there was nothing below it for that period. I stand along side ae911truth in their demand of a new investigation.

I find it impossible to believe the official story of 9/11. I'm confident that the average person with an open mind will have serious doubts regarding the NIST final report. It is absolutely necessary to determine the exact cause of the WTC building collapses along with building #7. The truth about what happened on 9/11 is important not only in the USA, but the entire world!

Statements from eyewitnesses were not consistent with the official story, and the immediate identification of suspects within days, and the targeting of countries that were not cooperating with the geopolitical aims of the Pentagon seemed too convenient. Subsequent studies and careful analysis of the available information confirms in my eyes, the involvement of insiders in the destruction of the trade towers. In the months and years following this event, legitimate activities by people concerned with environmental and human rights impacts of our use of fossil fuels, have been targeted, to the detriment of fair and equitable development.

We are not blind. The evidence at hand suggests something quite cunning and planned for much in advance of 9/11 carried out by entities other than 19 Arabs. The entire world deserves a complete and thorough investigation. The world deserves the truth.
