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 have been an engineer for 26 years and have worked in South Africa and the USA. For the last 13 years I have lived in Detroit, and for most of this time I have been involved in automotive suspension design, catering to the OEM automotive market. My work has involved design analysis, product development, problem solving, project management and customer liaison.
It has become clear to me that the official story, that describes the reasons for the 911 WTC building collapses, is fundamentally flawed. There are hundreds of gaping anomalies and unanswered questions. The most obvious question is how Building 7 collapsed. The much delayed explanation appears fraudulent. Similar very substantial issues remain with the Building 1 and 2 official reports. The most plausible explanation appears to be that of controlled demolition - for the destruction all three buildings. It is important that the truth is known - of what really happened. Most of all, this is owed to the families of the victims, who had to fight long and hard for the first official report - which was a dismal failure. A new investigation is needed imminently.

Upon receiving my BS in Chem.E. in 1980, I studied Linguistics at University of Michigan graduate school and have worked abroad as a translator of technical documents since 1984.
Because I consider the collapse of the three high rises at near free-fall speeds to be evidence of something else having gone on behind the scenes that day, most likely controlled demolition, even otherwise intelligent progressives consider me a tinfoil hatter now, most probably because of the recent National Geographic special. This is sad, but I believe that in time the psychological need to believe in the official theory will diminish, and the truth will be widely acknowledged. The most compelling evidence was broadcast worldwide repeatedly, ad nauseum. It will eventually be undeniable.

Bill Genitsaris, Consulting Struc
BA Engineering, Uni. of Melbourne
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Consulting Engineer with over 20 years experience in Civil and Structural Engineering. Worked in the fields of structural engineering design, construction, demolition, investigation of building movements and disputes. Worked for many years as a senior consulting structural engineer in the residential and commercial fields. In those years, provided professional services from engineering design advise for new and existing buildings, construction and demolition advice/procedural recommendations, to remedial works recommendations for buildings which are cracking/moving. Currently specialize in investigating movements and structural issues/disputes related to buildings, providing advice on remedial works, for both new and existing/old buildings/structures. Often oversee the remedial works (from engineering, architectural and construction/project management perspectives). Have viewed well over 2 000 houses/dwellings/buildings, subject to movements/cracking issues, in addition to the countless building designs, consultations and construction management. With experience in the design, construction and demolition of buildings, (residential to high-rise buildings) I have developed a great knowledge base to aid in determining the cause of structural problems, provide an appropriate/practical solution, estimate the costs of the required works and oversee/manage the project.
this space is too limited to list all of the structural issues and laws of physics/nature that have been violated by the official story, let alone go into the non-physics related issues (ie motivations, who was involved, etc). however i will state as follows: i often ask people 'how many buildings came down on 911 in New York?'. when the answer is (almost always) 2, i then ask them 'why the did not know about the 47 story building, which was not hit by a plane, yet it collapsed approx. 7 hours after the twin towers'. Even with this fact, they still cannot accept that the media has withheld the truth from them and it seems that they wish to remain (willfully) ignorant. As many others have stated, this is the definitive smoking gun. It is impossible for an unoccupied building, which only has 2 very small fires, to collapse. 2 points which i have not seen raised to date: If the pancake theory is correct, then as each floor truss disconnects from the steel RHS columns (both the ~47 core columns and the ~200 perimeter columns), it would mean that the columns should have remained in one complete length (ie over 100m/300 feet long) and as the building was demolished, oops I mean collapsed due to planes hitting them, the columns should have at least remained erect (especially the core) for that height. Or they should have fallen onto the adjoining buildings, at 100m long, causing major damage (in a plan view leaving a shell type of appearance, or like holding a bunch of straws vertically and letting them fall). Second, in the docs I have seen to date, I have not heard anybody talk about the actual floor loads on the building floors, just prior to collapse/demo. As an engineer, I know that every building on earth is basically designed to support floor loads (usually live, furniture/equipment & dead). A 'factor of safety' is included in the design, thus making the completed structure easily able to remain erect, even if each and every floor was loaded to its capacity (ie the building was jam packed with people in every room on every level and each floor was loaded with the maximum amount of furniture weight). Yet the twin towers were nowhere near their floor load capacity, just prior to collapse, (many people didn't go to work that day and many people managed to exit the building prior to collapse, (I don't know the official number of people that each floor could support)), and no people were present in WTC7!!! So, the issue is; How is it possible for empty (or almost empty) buildings, which are not subject to the live load component and hence not experiencing stresses anywhere near their elastic limits or ultimate limits, collapse at free fall speeds, as a result of fire?

Activist who been introduced and attended events for many US Senators including members of the Intelligence, Judiciary, Armed Services, Public Works and other Committees.
I recall thinking it odd as I watched the manner in which the Towers collapsed, particularly the manner in which the second Tower collapsed exactly as the first, but did not think much of this for many years as my thoughts were more preoccupied by the safety and security issues presented. Years later when viewing information on the collapse of the Towers, the free fall and symmetrical nature of the collapses clearly stood out in my mind and refreshed memories of watching this on TV the morning of 9/11, but now could view this event with a different perspective and with critical thinking. I may have seen a small blurb in NYC newspapers shortly after 9/11 about WTC7 but did not pay attention to this as coverage seemed minimal. Years later when I was asked about this event I became astounded at the information I was finding particularly WTC 7 and the free fall collapse. I began college at Virginia Tech in chemistry and engineering related coursework and while I transferred from Tech and did not graduate with a scientific degree, I have worked with many experts over the years and have a solid foundation in the basics of physics and related sciences. I became troubled upon viewing a piece of steel at the NYS Museum in Albany, NY at the Empire State Plaza years later and seeing this steel tagged as having been moved to the Fresh Kills Landfill within a day of 9/11 when I thought the WTC was still a Search and Rescue operation. I hope for a new and complete investigation of these events so the Truth may be determined, known and understood by all.

I graduated from Columbia in 1974 and went on to practice architecture and civil engineering for 8 years. I am now a computer specialist in integration, CAD and software engineering.
By 9/12 I was convinced that there was something fishy about the collapse of the WTC. I learned about progressive collapse from my engineering professors at Columbia, and I found it hard to imagine that the twin towers could have failed in that way. They were specifically designed to resist impact and load applied by the collision of a Boeing 707 jet. The buildings appeared to have been destroyed by an engineered demolition. When I articulated my suspicions, however, I was met with derision. I have continued, however, in my conviction that the buildings were intentionally destroyed.

The need to find out the full truth about the collapses, whatever it is. Concerned about the fact of absolutely all-sided perfect symmetric drop down, while both burns and TOP collapses were absolutely asymmetrical. Concerned about the totally simultaneous drop of floors, ceiling cage AND core. Every structural logic tells us that the core must stand or fall over later. These are two strongly visible feats. Besides hundreds of little details.

I've been aware that the official account of 9/11 was false since before AE 9/11 Truth was founded, but for professional reasons I was unable to sign until now. My guess is that for every AE that signs there are at least ten that don't for the same reason as me. I have the utmost admiration and respect for Richard Gage and everyone engaged in this effort. The evidence of controlled demolition for all three World Trade Center towers is overwhelming. In contrast, the official explanation relies on assertions but no evidence. The failure of the United States to investigate 9/11, the crime of the century, has placed a stain of corruption on our nation. Those public officials who continue to block a legitimate investigation of the events of 9/11 are complicit in the crime. Only the truth can set us free and restore integrity to our nation and government.

On that day 9/11/01, when I first saw the footage of WTC coming down, despite what I heard from the news, I had a bad feeling that something seems so very awkward and very unreal. Then, after I heard this campaign, I went to look at the photos of my old papers I filed from the 911 tragedy, it doesn't take me a second to think that this is the worst thing that happened in American history if proven. I hope we can get more support and evidence to bring the real truth. I sincerely thank all the people that gave their life, time and effort to dig up the real truth.

I have been working in the field of architecture for over ten years, with much experience in structural analysis and building integrity studies. I work with historic building rehabilitation and stabilization, along with designing new construction.
I have been pondering for several years how the buildings could have fallen in the manner they did, given an explosion so far from the foundations of the building, I find it hard to believe the given explanations. How does jet fuel leak down the cavities of the building all the way to the footings of these building to provide such a clean free fall. If a truck hits a house, it may fall to the ground, however portions of it will remain splintered and fragmented, however not obliterated.......

In the beginning I believed the official story. But after the shock wore off, I found I could not forget the way the buildings fell. The debris was not consistent with a normal building collapse. Eye witnesses heard explosions, and the collapse of all three buildings had more resemblance to a controlled demolition than an unplanned structural failure. I have read many points of view on the matter and can no longer agree with the official story.

The official report on 9/11 is fake; the resistance of the construction would slow down the speed of falling of both towers. There are a lot additional gaps in the government version - the heat had to be lower than stated and the construction would resist it too. The Pentagon, when you analyze the destruction, could not have been hit by the plane but possibly only the missile could operate so deeply and narrow. There are obviously others circumstances which make the whole picture and it is clear that the official version is a lie.

I never believed the collapses were the result of the planes hitting them: - - - you can see explosions 60 plus stories below the impact zones - - - the almost freefall collapse indicating there was NOTHING holding it back - - - WTC 7 collapsing without impact - - - a fire alone cannot collapse a building - - - never has before, nor has since.

I still maintain my license to practice though I am semi-retired at this time.
Nothing that I have seen or heard pertaining to the 9/11 tragedy leads me to any conclusion other than that the two aircraft were not the actual cause the collapse of the twin towers. We will actually not know the true cause until there is an independent and full investigation of the tragedy that took so many lives. I have watched many videos of the 9/11 towers' collapse. I do not think that these demolitions could have taken place without some form of high level government involvement. But even if it can be shown that WTC 1 & 2 were brought down by the plane crashes, it leaves open the collapse of WTC 7. WTC 7 came down like a controlled demolition hours after WTC 1 & 2 and long after the small fires in it were extinguished.

I have serious doubts as to the official 9/11 story after hearing lectures and reading research conducted by David Ray Griffin regarding the contradictions between the official story and the mounting evidence and eyewitness accounts, clearly implying some level of US government involvement in allowing the tragedy to occur. After attending a presentation by Richard Gage AIA, my suspicions grew to a point of suspicion that forces within our own government may have actually orchestrated the events of this fateful day.

Appear to be controlled demolitions, much too symmetrical. - - Most aircraft fuel ejected upon impact (towers). - - Jet fuel is kerosene, does not burn hot enough in uncontained environment. - - Typical office building does not contain sufficient flammables to make up difference. - - Pentagon evidence points to other than aircraft impact.

We have the evidence: - - - - - Photographic evidence of cut core columns - - - Chemical evidence of laboratory analysis revealing explosive residues - - - Photographic evidence of explosive squibs - - - Video testimony from the building's owner that they pulled WTC 7 - - - - And the fact that all of the laws of physics and science will not allow buildings to collapse at free fall speed, the way WTC 1, 2 & 7 came down.

I'm just a small town architect involved primarily in the design of wood frame residential structures with nearly fifty years of experience in architecture, thirty-two as a registered architect with the last twenty-eight in a private practice I share with my partner. Because of my years of experience I was granted permission to take the professional exam on the condition I passed all of the required pre-qualifying exams, of which there were five if I recall correctly. I did so in 1980 and passed the architectural licensing exam in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1981. I have no experience with high rise structures but I do believe that logic trumps the nonsense written between the front and back covers of The 9/11 Commission Report. In my view the report is more fiction than fact.
The manner in which the towers fell could only have been through controlled demolition. I've witnessed enough of them through videos and even in person to know this. Initially I presumed the attack, blamed on radical Muslims, was blowback for the horrific foreign policy of the US government. My belief that the attack was blowback has not diminished in the light of new evidence which suggests factions in the US government had prior knowledge of the attacks and not only did nothing to prevent them but complemented them to stage the catastrophe that would ensure the nation's sympathy for a Middle east confrontation. I stand by my belief today that the correct response to this criminal act would have been to find and prosecute the culprits, foreign and domestic, responsible for those acts of terrorism. The actual path chosen only reinforces my belief that the US government played a significant role.

Degree obtained in 1992, after a long period of CAD specialization; I'm established as an independent Architect for many years.
Too many obvious facts to leave any doubts on the causes of the collapse.I'm trying to get colleagues who are Architects to watch a video conference.I never thought it would be so hard to get them to do so.

studied in France : architecture, economics, maths history and philosophy of sciences many jobs outside my field of interest Trying now to get back on track and work as an architect
what will come next ?? it seems evident and clear now that these buildings came down on purpose I told friends that Frank Lloyd right's building should be the center of the American power and not these renaissance buildings in Washington DC Such catastrophes seem unavoidable in those conditions.

At the time of the first WTC building collapse, I said to my wife, as we watched, in disbelief, on TV: '...they imploded the building...', and they '...brought the building down...as if in controlled demolition.' So, right from the moment it happened, I have never believed the 'official' stories, not from day one.

In my opinion, structural failure of steel framed high-rise buildings should result in quite different collapse events to those observed in WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7.
