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.

Occupation: Architect (Registered With The Arb In The U.k.)
November 5th 1989 Vordiplom Univ. of Kaiserslautern, Germany, July 29th 1992 Diplom at Technical University of Munich, Germany. Title Diplom Ingenieur of Architecture = Masters of Science. Specialized in theater design and long spanning structures. Registered Architect with the ARB in London UK since July/August 1997. Work Experience:1989 - 1994 multi family residential and mid rise office headquarters, team member at Braun Hesselberger & Patner in Munich. 1994 worked for 3 month with Sir Norman Fosters and Partners in London on a competition for Commerzbank private banking branches. 1994-1997 Large shopping centers as lead designer and Project Architect with Chapman Taylor Partners in London. 1998 - 2000 Large Shopping Centers as lead designer and Project Architect with Arthur Erikson and Architectura (=now Stantec) in Vancouver BC. 2000 - Present large institutional and complex mixed use high density high rise projects with multiple towers. Working as Senior Architect, Senior Design Architect & Senior Project Manager employed with Henriquez Partners Architects in Vancouver BC. Signature Projects: BC Cancer Research Center (~300,000 SF) Diamond Ambulatory Care Center (~450,000 SF) the Woodward's Re-Development Project (~1,000,000 SF, two towers up to 42 floors, two mid rise mixed use buildings with integrated theaters, university campus, offices, social housing and market residential & complex underground truck loading facilities). I am currently in charge of a twin tower project in downtown Vancouver.
In my professional opinion it is impossible that Building #7 collapsed in such an orderly and neat fashion without a controlled demolition. Such relatively small fires on just a couple of floors never in the past have lead to the collapse of a high rise building of this construction type. The official explanations of the 'one column failure' would lead maybe to a partial collapse or at least to a very different collapse pattern. Also we have to question, why was the collapse of Building #7 not part of the official report? If the twin towers collapsed in a sandwich fashion as per the official report, the stair / elevator cores should have been sticking out maybe even many hundreds of feet up into the air. They should have been left standing at least partially, or if the the foundations were damaged at the impact of the falling tower floors, they may have toppled over as a whole or in large sections, taking out surrounding buildings. I find it further suspicious that such enormous amounts of dust were trailing parts falling from the twin towers. Also the strangely burned cars found on the other side of Manhattan Island demand investigation and better explanations. Where are the engines of the aircraft? They are built in a way that at least major parts of them cannot burn up in the heat generated by a fuel fire. Why can one see something which looks clearly like molten glowing iron on many images and video clips? It is my understanding that many firefighters and maintenance staff heard explosions but were not asked to testify for the official report. I further understand that there were witnesses seeing white trucks pulling up in front of the twin towers and staff with equipment entering the building in the late night / early morning hours every night for about 3 weeks prior to the 911 events. I understand these witnesses were not heard. There are many other items which in my opinion need explanation and further investigation, but it will take too long to list all of those herein. I am not a US citizen, but I have many cousins and their families living there. This event impacted all our lives and all our countries. My home country Germany is in the light of the unfolding refugee crisis particularly impacted by the long term results of the US politics triggered by the 911 events. Therefore all citizens of this planet have a right to demand a better explanation and to see a new and much more thorough investigation into the events.

I have looked at the collapse of 7 WTC many times and while I don't believe in conspiracies, I can't get past how clean the collapse was. I would really value Eve Hinman's opinion on this. I continue to believe that the towers fell as a result of the planes and fire but I am continuing to keep an open mind about 7.

Every time I see the footage of 911 it is totally implausible that the towers would have collapsed from the jets impact. They simply did not. The collapse occurred significantly later and in a manner consistent with the professional demolition of buildings. It is equally incredible that the plane that hit the Pentagon left no refuge to identify it and that all video evidence has been kept secret. Why all the secrecy? This smack of cover up, a cover up that might explain why we went to war in Iraq and not Saudi Arabia where hijackers were from or why we stopped short in capturing Bin Laden.

Sure do wish the truth movement would stop calling for a new investigation and realize that AEfor911Truth has already concluded it! Use what you have and push for some justice department in NYC or New Jersey or wherever Marvin Bush or Larry Silverstien or somebody resides and issue a warrant. Then the dominoes will fall. Sherrif's Departments work that way-when somebody kills somebody else- all the time. The investigation has been done...get me?

I remember watching the first tower fall, live. I asked my wife, 'How did the terrorists get the explosives in there?' It was so obvious that it was a controlled demolition. Later I heard the official story and thought it was a mistake. After awhile I realized that the story wasn't going away and I knew that there were others that knew what I knew. That is when I joined AE911Truth. There are many physical laws that the official story does not take into account but the most important are the laws of the conservation of mass and the conservation of energy.

The travesty of the 9/11/2001 attacks on the American citizens is an obvious conspiracy of the highest order involving multi-modes of conventional and advanced technology and multi-state actors to wage war physically and psychologically on the American public as well as simultaneously obfuscate huge transfers of wealth to the perpetrators. The failure of the US Government to conduct a competant and thorough investigation while offering explanations that defy the Laws of Physics, conceal relevant facts and shield the real terrorists adds insult to injury. The failure of the media to promote truth and tranparency further betrays the public trust. Truth and justice is due to the American people.

I had accepted the media's explanation of the collapse of the World Trade buildings until I viewed the AE911Truth video. Judging the evidence presented in the video with what I knew from my study of structures in college and my technical knowledge obtained by working as an engineer for more than 30 years led me to the conclusion that a new investigation needs to be conducted to find the true cause of the World Trade buildings collapse.

I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

Virginia architect, now retired.
There are powerful interests who do not want the facts of 9/11 known or it would have been investigated as a crime immediately. The challenge will be finding an investigator fearless enough to go wherever the facts lead, but if there is such a person in the US, he or she would never be appointed to lead an investigation of 9/11. Therefore it's equally or maybe even more important to uncover the facts and publicize them, as AE911truth.org is doing. That needs to happen before 9/11 goes down the memory hole.

I believed from day 1 that 9/11 was orchestrated by the U.S. Government or by some very powerful 'evil' organization. Justice must be served to the world, especially to the people who lost their lives that day. We need and investigation that is transparent and within a reasonable amount of time (less than a year).

Tower 7 didn't blow itself up. America's war crimes against Iraq happened in 2003, shortly after 9/11 and 9/11 was September 2001. There are many suspicious facts about 9/11. After seeing about America's foreign policy, America's war crimes against Iraq, George W. Bush's lies about Saddam Hussein, etc., I feel like 9/11 could be an inside job.
