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 was brought to this when I put a design into the 9/11 Ground Zero Memorial Competition. The competition proved to be a scam as in essence Maya Linn's design was chosen and she was the power/head juror. That led me to the rebuild effort of the entire site which led me to stand on the rooftops five years ago screaming..GOLDMAN SACHS. Why? They made out like the biggest bandits of all the rich old white guys backslapping themselves all the way to the bank. Next..wow, it was an inside job. Seek and ye shall find for yourselves.

Worked as an engineer for over 10 years. Now, I run my own engineering consulting company.
The official stories of WTC building collapses do not make any sense in the physical world I deal with daily as an engineer. I fully concur with Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction submitted to the Open Civil Engineering Journal. Especially with NIST's statement regarding WTC 7 that Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analysis are needed to resolve this issue. Indeed it does require further investigation and as an engineer I take this language to mean that there is no official theory that adequately explains the collapse of building 7 of it's own accord.

I earned by Bachelor of Architecture degree at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon U.) in 1958, and a Master of Urban Design from Harvard University in 1961.

I have been employed by Mark IV Construction Co. in Rochester NY since 1980.I have been a member of the American Institute of Architects, and licensed to practice architecture in New York since 1968.
Having watched and read all of the testimony and evidence posted by Richard Gage over the past decade, I urge the Congress to create an independent commission to fully investigate the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings, and not to arbitrarily rule out any possible scenario or conspiracy that could have led to the patently false official NIST report. Testimony by the first-responders who observed and heard what they have reported were explosions, melting steel, and chemical traces which are not consistent with the theory that airplanes caused the fires and collapse of WTC I and II; and the full unedited free-fall photographic evidence of the collapse of WTC 7 should be included in their study. If Congress does not agree to this, then a public subscription for an independent analysis by distinguished experts from universities abroad should be undertaken.

There is a staggering amount of irrefutable factual information, that has been derived and collected by professional scientists and engineers, to establish that the collapse of these buildings was premeditated controlled demolition. It would be impossible to accomplish that degree of destruction, and the sequence of events, by the relatively mere impact of jet airplanes and the resulting fires fueled only by jet fuel, which could never soften or melt steel support structures. There is also an unprecedented array of events that indicate a carefully premeditated and executed sequence of events that belie the official conclusions of the original 9/11 commission. Why was there such a rush to remove and destroy physical evidence from the scene, to prevent a proper forensic investigation of such an unprecedented disaster?

Reno, NV
Occupation: Warehouse Associate
I graduated from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge in 1985 with a BS in Petroleum Engineering. Because the oil industry had gone 'bust' in 1983 (approximately), I started working on a second BS in Mechanical Engineering, but due to financial difficulties decided in 1987 to seek permanent employment instead.I worked 11 years as a Hydrologist for DOI agencies from 1988 to 1999. I resigned federal employment in 1999 and have worked a variety of professional positions in private industry, local and federal government since.
It was clear to me when the first tower fell into its footprint that something very wrong was happening on 9/11. As I've continued to educate myself on the 9/11 facts I became overwhelmingly convinced that a criminal conspiracy was responsible for that terrorist false flag act. I could not stand-by and not participate in the solution during my country's time of need so I joined 'Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth' in July 13, 2015.

I have over thirty years experience in architectural design/documentation, engineering and Research & Development. I have a degree through University of Florida's Architectural College.
I am in full agreement with Steel's and McGinnis' statements. I had the exact same misgivings as events were unfolding and well beyond. I saw the second tower fall live on TV in a room full of architects and engineers. We collectively were astonished and knew something was wrong with what we had just seen. One of my architectural projects was leading a design/documentation team to survey the entire 3rd floor of the Pentagon in the middle 1980's. So, I knew the architectural and the contextual site settings. I knew therefore, it was absolutely impossible for a jetliner, to physically travel at speed, and hit the ground floor of the Pentagon. From the 1- 2 second CCTV footage they aired on TV showing the 'jetliner' hitting the Pentagon, it looked more like a cruise missile to me.

I have an extensive training/education in the social sciences, with a more limited training in the more technical sciences. In addition, I have been and am currently studying environmental issues and therefore I am familiar with the current administration's record. Lastly, I have been living/traveling outside the U.S. for the past 14 years and so I have a clear image of the U.S. from outside the information containment bubble. Go Ron Paul!
From day one it has been clear to me that 9/11 was an inside job. Along with the very sudden and unexpected collapse of buildings 1, 2 and 7, there were far too many coincidences for it not to be. In any case, it shouldn't take a structural engineer, nor a rocket scientist to understand that cement does not pulverize and fall dust and that steel beams do not eject in a upward direction as the result of fire alone. We are running out of time, let's wake up America and kick some ass!

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.

When official government narratives contravene the laws of physics, eye-witness testimony, and physical evidence in the built environment, we have a moral obligation and duty to act.

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.

Let the honest analysis of events commence! Vast numbers of Americans have long doubted the official explanations of the WTC disaster and have harbored distrust concerning the coordinated response that followed.

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.
