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.

I practiced architecture in Dallas, Texas as an architect-of-record for 18 years and carried architectural registrations in 21 states. 10 years ago I founded Archline CAD Services, which offers architectural CAD working drawings exclusively to architects. Our company has present and past architect-clients in 26 states, the US Virgin Islands and overseas. We have 8 architecturally trained and professionally qualified CAD production teams in 4 countries.
For years I have been curious about the real nature, not just of the collapses of the three Manhattan towers, but also the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. I have attended several AIA sponsored seminars on the subject, but none of them presented any probing questions about the disasters.

Both degrees were obtained in the UK which is the country of my birth. I reside with my wife and oldest son in Brooklyn New York.
From my own 30 minute observation of the burning towers, from the south in Battery Park, I noted at the time that the fires were subsiding. The flames were diminished and the smoke was thicker. I left to return to my office on the east side of lower Manhattan on Water Street, believing that I had witnessed the worst of the damage. I did not have sight of the buildings when they collapsed, but have spoken with people who were close to the towers as they collapsed. They all heard explosions as a chain of thuds going off just below the collapsing material at each level.

On that fateful day in my expat location in S Korea, I watched with shock the legacy media coverage on my TV. At first I was totally numbed and felt a whole host of emotions. As I continued to watch on BBC, I saw a lady journalist saying WTC7 had also fallen. However I could clearly see on my TV that it hadn't fallen right there behind her left shoulder. It did fall, fully & vertically at what I could see was free fall acceleration several minutes later when all of a sudden the BBC presenter in the studio changed the subject. This for me was a significant moment of revelation when I was awakened from my slumber. I went back & watched other feeds & started seeing & noticing things that others hadn't, eg the size of the hole at the Pentagon or the lack of any aeroplane in Shanksville. I tried to talk to people in my U.K. Institution of Structural Engineers in London but nobody was interested. Several years later I came upon a video interview of then Pakistan PM, Benazir Bhutto in which she blurted out that Osama Bin Laden was killed in 2007, several years before Obama announced to the world that the US military had captured & killed him. She was unfortunately assassinated shortly afterwards. Therefore on 9/11/2001, I lost complete faith in anything that my government or legacy media were doing, writing or saying. I use my own initiative to decipher as best as I can the truth from fake news. Over the years I've followed many rabbit holes on 9/11 and I know that the truth is far far different from the official narratives. I am deeply upset that professional bodies were used to cover up this genocide of over 3000 civilians, many suffering & dying years after the event due to the toxic asbestos dust. I hope & pray that those who were the real perpetrators are brought to justice, hopefully during my lifetime.

The almost perfect vertical collapse of the 3 buildings seems to indicate the use of explosives at the ground level. Any partial shear or buckling of the columns at the point of impact would have likely caused the superstructures to lean over and fall out of the footprint of the buildings. However this theory as valid as it looks leaves a question mark as to how could it be possible to set up a large complicity that has not been neither discovered nor even suspected.

As an engineer it is hard to refute the evidence that this appears to have been a controlled demolition. It seems to me that there were just too many things that had to occur at exactly the same time for the collapse to have occurred solely from a plane hit.

Am expected to finish my studies in December 2018. My final year project is about steel design. The WTC being also in steel makes it a topic of interest.
Something queer remains, the mystery about the incident remains. An investigation was done but it did not answer some of the critical questions. My final year project is about steel design. The WTC being also in steel makes it a topic of interest. There is a need to answer these questions or to remove the doubt of foul play. It was a major investigation and the findings would help out in a lot of sectors that were involved, especially the built environment sector.

The official explanation of the the 9/11 WTC tower collapses does not answer many technical questions. Why did the towers hit by planes collapse? Why did WTC 7 collapse without being hit by a plane? Why did the towers collapse as if a planned explosive demolition was executed? How did temperatures inside the building reach levels that could melt steel? Why was the majority of material pulverized? A thorough, 3rd party investigation is needed.

In reference to 9/11, it is very clear to me that the buildings' total collapse could never have been caused by a plane hitting the building from one side, no matter how forceful the blow might have been. The collapse totally follows a designed demolition action, with the structural elements folding inside.

WTC7 didn't fall by three burning armchairs. No significant debris ever to be seen at the Pentagon. Two planes flying around without control through the worlds most secured airspace without authorities taking them down. BBC reporting about a fallen WTC7 before it fell. There is no further evidence required, that this whole story was a plot. There is only more evidence required, for whom to hang for it.

WTC7 fell out of sympathy. NIST failed to apply appropriate boundary conditions for the framing system in their model. Given the limited heat, presence of fireproofing, a catastrophic symmetrical failure with near free fall acceleration is physically impossible.

My first doubts came up when, on 9/11/2001, I saw the towers collapse for the third time, as with controlled demolition. When I later heard that 10% of the 30000 people who worked there had died, I was convinced that the official story was wrong.

Proud graduate of The City College of New York. If Professor Goshn taught us one thing right, it's the behavior of material under stresses.
Having a building collapse exactly the same way, 110 stories on top of each other, not once, but twice is like winning the lotto, twice, at the same machine, the same day. The probability of this happening is 2^220. In engineering, this is referred to as Controlled Demolition. If you look closely at the video footage, explosions occur on each floor before they collapse. I don't blame the public for believing the media, only few are equipped with the right set of skills to understand the behavior of material under stresses. Very sad to see a government deceive its people in this horrible way.

The official explanation of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 overlooks key evidence that absolutely should be incorporated into the investigation. The fact that building 7, with limited office fires in a relatively small portion of the building, collapsed instantaneously and symmetrically at the acceleration of gravity with almost no resistance at all from the concrete and steel below is alone bizarre enough to warrant further investigation. The investigation should be about truth and nothing else.

In review of the findings of the NIST Report and other independent investigations, and reviews concerning the failure of buildings in the 911 attack, there is sufficient reason to believe that the NIST Report is either incomplete or incorrect. As a matter of public safety, credibility and completeness of findings, an independent and Engineering study should be performed to either verify or correct the NIST findings.

I'm not a structural engineer, but I know enough to know that we're not getting the whole story here. The way that the buildings collapsed certainly looked like a controlled demolition. How is it that the buildings fell at free-fall acceleration and straight down, doing virtually no damage to any surrounding buildings (especially building 7, which wasn't even hit by anything)?

The official government evaluations seem inconsistent with everything we know about the failure modes of concrete and steel high-rise structures. It seems unlikely in the extreme that the trade center buildings were all brought down by airplane impacts.

A solitary jetliner aircraft impact and ensuing jet fuel induced fire, in and of itself, would never cause the collapse of a skyscraper in the manner in which both towers fell. The photographic, video, and forensic evidence strongly contradicts the official explanation put forth in the 911 Commission report.

I use my own initiative to decipher as best as I can the truth from fake news. Over the years I've followed many rabbit holes on 9/11 and I know that the truth is far far different from the official narratives. I am deeply upset that professional bodies were used to cover up this genocide of over 3000 civilians, many suffering & dying years after the event due to the toxic asbestos dust. I hope & pray that those who were the real perpetrators are brought to justice, hopefully during my lifetime.

I have been convinced of a demolition from the time I first saw the collapse. It was always obvious!

There is more to it than meets the eye. Everything from the 9/11 attacks, to killing Osama, looks staged.

The destruction of the WTC seems suspect to me as the towers collapsed into their own footprint vs an asymmetric fall as you'd expect with failure due to fire. The free fall speeds of the twin towers, along with the free fall speed of the un-hit WTC are all suspect. This coupled with the findings of iron spheres and thermite raise concern of use of demolition charges that contain these compounds.
