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.

9/11 forever changed my life. I lived in Florida at the time and 2 months after it happened, flew to NYC simply because I felt I had to show respect and share the grief and somehow let others know strangers out in the world cared. 7 yrs. later, I quit work, sold my home, left Florida and moved to New York. There is a feeling here that cannot be described. Something in the eyes when you look at someone else walking the streets of the city ......... I am a charter member of the 9/11 memorial org.

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.

I hold a Master of Architecture degree from SUNY Buffalo, 1991. I have worked in almost every city in NY, I have been licensed 24 years doing a variety of work from residential to industrial. My favorite project is a clock tower I did on the Robert Wesleyan College Campus.
I was on the phone with another architect on 9/11. We both noted the flashes on the floors below the collapsing floor when the towers came down. The news anchors or commentators said something about it but were quickly told that those flashes were electrical transformers on each floor being overloaded and it was not brought up again... 2 years later I was involved in demolishing 6 buildings in Kodak Park. I realized it was like watching 9/11 all over again. I have no doubt that WTC was controlled demolition. If the mast was not controlled it would have been a sideways fall killing 10,000 more. After one of our projects failed to demo correctly...low bidder...I can tell you the WTC jobs were very professionally done. So tragic. I tell everyone. Great work you are doing.

I have a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

The view of independent experts is obviously correct, it is physically impossible for a building to collapse at close to free fall acceleration, unless all resistance in the floors below has first been removed, requiring a blow out of all the columns on the floors below, in addition, localized damage could not produce a symmetrical collapse as seen in video footage of the collapse of building 7.

I was working in NYC for Urbahn Associates Architects when it happened, and the Port Authority was one of that office's clients, so we made field trips to the towers on a number of occasions. I've never been able to explain how the towers collapsed as they did if the collapse wasn't 'assisted' by explosives. I believe 85-90% of the towers below the point of impact couldn't have fallen because of the forces of the impacts and the heat generated by the burning jet fuel.

I have found that starting with the complete impossibility of a Boeing 757 hitting the ground in Shanksville at 500+ mph and disappearing completely, is a better starting point than the WTC discussion. People seem to be able to wrap their mind around the physics of that (non)event easier. This usually imparts some skepticism in them and makes it easier to then ask 'where's the plane' at the Pentagon. Then wait for them to have their own 'ah-ha' moment. You usually have earned some trust at this point and can dive into the WTC discussion. I of course have several relevant photos and videos on my phone to refer to which I believe reduces the preachyness aspect.'

It is obvious from the video evidence, to anyone who is not deliberately deceiving themselves, that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition, which would have taken days to set up. It is also beyond doubt that many explosions also took place both during and before the destruction of the WTC towers, which did not appear to collapse so much as to be blown out in all directions in many stages, with much of the concrete turning to dust before it hit the ground and tons of steel melting and folding in ways which could not happen at temperatures arising from jet duel and office fires. That NIST admits that it did not even look for evidence of explosives, in the face of hundreds of witnesses to the sounds and effectives of explosions, is already more than enough proof that it was not performing its duty to perform a thorough investigation.

The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 are all very similar to a controlled building demolition as opposed to a collapse cause by localized impact high in the building. The official government findings do not offer a reasonable explanation for this collapse. A thorough and scientifically credible investigation and disclosure of the actual means of collapse is needed for the public and professional community to understand how this national disaster happened.

Occupation: Architect
I obtained my degree 'architecte D.P.L.G.' in 2004 at the 'ecole d'achitecture de Paris-Belleville', under prof. Jean-Pierre Feugas (project), Pierre Clement (thesis) and Jacques Fredet. I worked 6 years (1996-2002) at SOCOTEC, branch Le Blanc-Mesnil (France, 93) as a technical inspector. Since 2003, I worked in several NGOs in India (Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan) and at two architect's firms (Sobhanlal Bonnerjee & Associates, and Dulal Mukherjee & Associates) in Kolkata, and as an independent practitionner based in Kolkata since 2010.

It is necessary that civil society in general, and that includes the professionals in their respective fields, take active part in police inquiry and helping the police and authorities to establishing the truth. This may include sometimes fighting against the temporary autorities at a particular time, but this risk and responsibility is the minimum price to pay if one wants to live in a democracy worth the name.
