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.

It's impossible for a typical stock commercial airplane to enter a skyscraper as if it were butter at achievable sea level flight speeds. It's impossible that a small amount of jet fuel could weaken ALL steel columns to collapse SIMULTANEOUSLY, FLOOR AFTER FLOOR. It's impossible for a building hit from the side to fall straight down. It's impossible for a skyscraper to be pulverized by a commercial plane, especially when it is built to withstand plane crashes. The list goes on & on....

licensed architect since 1982 in original state of NCARB professional exam Kansas. AIA member since licensure. Experience includes work on 23 story Tabor Center Westin Hotel in Denver, concrete frame with steel composite deck top story. Steel frame building experience up to 3 story.
When i first saw the film/television coverage i was shocked that the structures did not topple over sideways bending at the points of jetliner impact. This is counter-intuitive or antithetical that they would uniformly collapse with asymmetrical impacts. Building 7 collapse in this manner is complete nonsense because it did not have anything close to the magnitude of damage of aircraft impacts.

Worked as an Instructor of Engineering for Arkansas State University from 2003 thru 2004. Working as a hydraulic engineer for the USDA NRCS from 2005 to present.
The Laws of Physics and gravity indicate the collapses of the three WTC towers appear to be caused by controlled demolition and not due to the impact of two aircraft. The buildings fell too fast to indicate the resistance to downward momentum from successive failures of the floor structure. The buildings fell very much straight down and were completely pulverized as if they were destroyed by controlled demolition. There is no other reasonable explanation given for the collapse of WTC7.

Examining the evidence clearly indicates controlled demolition of the three towers. The most telling evidence is the collapse of the third building without impact by a plane.

I am a small business owner; I have been in business in New York since 1976. Until 2004 I maintained offices in the garment center and in 2005 I moved to the North Fork of Long Island where I own a small Inn.
I was working in New York on 9/11/2001 and spent the night there with my son who was working with me that day, at a hotel near Times Square. We walked East to the Hudson river and West Side Highway at around 8pm that evening. We were amazed to see, already assembled when we arrived, countless numbers of garbage trucks lined up as far as the eye could see along the length of highway in both north and south directions. We walked towards the George Washington bridge for a while and the line of trucks continued north. It appeared to stretch as far as the bridge. We were struck by how bright new and shiny they looked and were amazed that they could all have been assembled in such a short period of time, less than 12 hours after the first tower fell. I'd like to know where these trucks came from, who ordered these trucks, why it was possible that so many could be assembled in so short a time and when these arrangements were made.

In October 2001, I approached the United States Consulate General's Office in Z'rich, Switzerland. I had testimonial and physical evidence placing Mr. Atta and five other persons in Zurich in July of 2000. Without being able to say more than a couple of sentences, I was told There is no evidence that anyone involved in the events of September the Eleventh has ever stepped foot in Switzerland. There will be no further investigation. I have doubted the official story since this time. The work of AE911truth.org and others is uncovering considerable evidence and casting considerable doubts on the official stories. I would like to see another investigation on the collapses of all three WTC buildings that fell on September 11, 2001.

I worked for Cisco in Silicon Valley and RTP, NC. I'm currently running my own farming business in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia.
It's strange that there are so many fundamental observations that can be made that prove, beyond a doubt, that the events of that day differ from the generally accepted causes. - - Seems it is more like a religious debate, or a political debate, and many people will take a side and not budge the slightest, even when presented simple observations or facts. For example, - 1. Rate of collapse of the buildings - 2. The projectiles that are projected perpendicular to the force of gravity - 3. The destruction of an entire building, below the impact point by a significantly SMALLER 'hammer' ie, the top part of the building - 4. The repeated observations by credible witnesses, ie the fireman, that observed many, many explosions - 5. In the videos of the destruction, anyone can see the significant emissions of material horizontally out from the building - - And on and on... You don't need a microscope to figure this one out.

Milton, MA
Occupation: Architect
I am an architect, educator and licensed builder. I have a BS in Environmental Design from University of Massachusetts Amherst, 1976, and a B Arch from Boston Architectural college, 1986. I began my career as a project manager with a number of large architectural firms in Boston before I started my own firm, Timeless Architecture, in 1988. I have been promoting and teaching green design for 25 years, starting with the Boston Society of Architects, where I served as co-chair of the Committee on the Environment (COTE), a sub-committee of the BSA that promotes sustainable design in the New England region. I currently teach at the Boston Architectural College in their Sustainable Design Institute and master's program. I lecture frequently in New England conferences for groups such as the Boston Society of Architects, Boston Area Solar Energy Association, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, and Timber Framer's Guild, and have served on the faculty of Wentworth Institute of Technology. My work has been published in the Boston Globe, Architecture Boston Magazine, Preservation Magazine, Builder Architect Magazine, Cape Cod Islands Home and the Milton Times.
I've been inspired to get involved in this effort by the work of the A & E technical and building professionals like National Medal of Science recipient Lynn Margulis, PhD. With Chris Gruener MA, LMHC of the Boston 9/11 Truth effort, we have submitted a workshop proposal for the ABX 2015 Conference next November in Boston at which Richard Gage AIA has agreed to speak. Here are the learning objectives we have spelled out: 1. Attendees will learn about the dynamics of the three largest high-rise building collapses in the history of the world, with an overview of the National Institute for Standards and Technology final report issued on July 22, 2004. 2. Participants will learn about the destructive capability of high-rise fires, their inability to overcome protected steel frame construction, and peer-reviewed scientific evidence published after the WTC events (compiled by A & E for 9/11 Truth). The use of explosives commonly used in controlled demolition is directly implied by this evidence, which is reinforced by eye witness testimony. 3. Attendees will be introduced to the issues a confirmed controlled demolition would bring up, including massive loss of life, and the ethics and accountability of those involved, including their prejudicial endorsements of the official National Institute of Safety & Technology 9/11 Report. 4. Participants will explore the unique role the building community can play in the critical debate on how the three World Trade Center skyscrapers were destroyed. As with the debate on climate change, input from professional groups like the AIA and the ACSE to educate the public and support a new investigation should help heal the deep wounds left by the tragedies of 9/11/01.

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.

Sadly, it's not a matter of showing the open mind the contradictions of the official story but rather opening closed minds to the truth. Just as you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, neither can you force someone to see the obvious. My personal experience is that most Americans simply don't want to know and will go to great lengths to hide their eyes and cover their ears. It's going to take a great deal of (self inflicted) pain before the eyes begin to open and the mind desires to acknowledge what they already know. Our government lies to us. It's that simple. As long as we insist on Daddy telling us that everything will be OK, nothing will change. The key is to be there, ready to help, when the eyes finally open.

My intuition on that horrendous day, told me something was so strange, in the way those buildings fell so quickly. I had no idea that fire could make a building fall like that in less than 10 seconds! I had immediate doubts about what the media was telling us.
