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
I am an architect, educator and licensed builder. I have a BS in Environmental Design from University of Massachusetts Amherst, 1976, and a B Arch from Boston Architectural college, 1986. I began my career as a project manager with a number of large architectural firms in Boston before I started my own firm, Timeless Architecture, in 1988. I have been promoting and teaching green design for 25 years, starting with the Boston Society of Architects, where I served as co-chair of the Committee on the Environment (COTE), a sub-committee of the BSA that promotes sustainable design in the New England region. I currently teach at the Boston Architectural College in their Sustainable Design Institute and master's program. I lecture frequently in New England conferences for groups such as the Boston Society of Architects, Boston Area Solar Energy Association, Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, and Timber Framer's Guild, and have served on the faculty of Wentworth Institute of Technology. My work has been published in the Boston Globe, Architecture Boston Magazine, Preservation Magazine, Builder Architect Magazine, Cape Cod Islands Home and the Milton Times.
I've been inspired to get involved in this effort by the work of the A & E technical and building professionals like National Medal of Science recipient Lynn Margulis, PhD. With Chris Gruener MA, LMHC of the Boston 9/11 Truth effort, we have submitted a workshop proposal for the ABX 2015 Conference next November in Boston at which Richard Gage AIA has agreed to speak. Here are the learning objectives we have spelled out: 1. Attendees will learn about the dynamics of the three largest high-rise building collapses in the history of the world, with an overview of the National Institute for Standards and Technology final report issued on July 22, 2004. 2. Participants will learn about the destructive capability of high-rise fires, their inability to overcome protected steel frame construction, and peer-reviewed scientific evidence published after the WTC events (compiled by A & E for 9/11 Truth). The use of explosives commonly used in controlled demolition is directly implied by this evidence, which is reinforced by eye witness testimony. 3. Attendees will be introduced to the issues a confirmed controlled demolition would bring up, including massive loss of life, and the ethics and accountability of those involved, including their prejudicial endorsements of the official National Institute of Safety & Technology 9/11 Report. 4. Participants will explore the unique role the building community can play in the critical debate on how the three World Trade Center skyscrapers were destroyed. As with the debate on climate change, input from professional groups like the AIA and the ACSE to educate the public and support a new investigation should help heal the deep wounds left by the tragedies of 9/11/01.

I received a BSIE from SUNY Buffalo in 1970Worked for GE for 5 years, then Varco-Pruden Metal Building Systems for 3 years and was the Engineering manager at the Office of State Publishing for 33 years, retiring in 2011.... was fortunate to have a wide variety of projects over that time period.Everything from welding and printing equipment specification to oversight of building construction projects including structural roof re-inforcement to support an evaporative cooling system as well as supporting pollution control equipment that incinerated VOC compounds used in lithographic offset printing.
Building 7 videos show a standard building demolition at gravity free fall with a NIST explanation that an office fire was the cause... how absolutely ridiculous. This got me thinking about the Twin Towers and the jet fuel temperatures, which led me to the YouTube clips of the firemen talking about molten metal coming down the channels and the statements that the ground floor lobby area was already blown out before the towers came down. Then I learned about Thermite and realized that the governments explanation of what happened was a complete fabrication and the buildings could not have come down if they were only hit by a commercial passenger aircraft. I also found the Pilots for 911 truth to be informative when they stated that the specific Boeing aircraft cited could not generate enough thrust to fly at 500+ mph at that low of an altitude (80% of the atmosphere is contained in the 1st 2 miles of altitude) because the air is too dense. They can fly at 500+ mph when they are at 6 or 7 miles up in the THIN air, less resistance.

I saw WTC collapse when I was student in VGTU (Technical University in Vilnius). I suddenly realized, that it looked like control demolition. Nothing else. All these 15 years of my professional career I studied buildings construction failures, repairs after earthquakes and fires. I should say, that my opinion just improved with the knowledge and experience. Buildings doesn't collapse the way we see WTC collapsed vertically. If there were local construction failure, it would collapse partly, non symmetrically. It's absolutely clear, that authorities hiding something. It's absolutely clear, that American citizen and the rest of the world should know the truth. I believe that AE comunity will make it possible. And I am proud to be a part of AE for the 911 truth!

I have been in construction for over 30 years and have been extremely upset over 911 and the lack of government investigations. I have been involved in commercial construction and residential construction. I understand how strong steel and concrete are and it is almost impossible to pulverize concrete to dust. Also cutting steel beams at a 45 degree angle naturally is impossible.
There are many issues with the accounts of that day starting with our president hearing about it and almost looking sheepish and embarrassed like a kid who has lied or is hiding something. The facts have never been explained. How did building 7 collapse like it did no planes hit it? How could steel beams be cut like butter at a 45 degree angle (like controlled demolitions) Why are no good camera angles available of the pentagon? How could 3 non pilots hit a bulls eye of three buildings in other words 3 for 3 with no experience? Especially hitting the Pentagon we did not scramble aircraft and the alleged plane was almost touching the ground before hitting the building.

I find that people have an emotional reaction to the suggestion that controlled demolition brought down the 3 buildings, because of the implied involvement of elements within the government. This information conflicts with most people's desire to feel happy and optimistic, so that its acceptance is not easy.

I am trained as an Electrical Engineer. I've worked for NASA and other companies designing control systems for mechanical motion control systems. This background in math and physics of motion have allowed me to do some technical inquiries into the dynamics of collapse of the WTC. I have also spent several years working in hte field of avionics and air traffic control. These experiences give me some insight into issues brought up by Pilots for 911 Truth. I am currently working in the area of computer security working on a team designing internet firewalls and endpoint protection of networks.
We must perform publicly and with peer review an extensive analysis of the WTC collapse. The official explanation stops at the onset of collapse. To even explain the start of the collapse without explosives requires some far fetched ideas. There are lots of energy analyses to do that I have not seen done. How can multi-ton steel beams be ejected with enough force to embed themselves in buildings far away? What explains the symetry of the collapse? Uncontrolled phenomenon are seldom symetrical.

One needs only to watch the collapses of the three WTC buildings with an open mind to conclude that they were brought down by controlled demolition. It is inconceivable that the neat rapid collapses could have been caused by airplane strikes and/or random fires. Failure due to these causes would have been gradual and asymmetrical. Steel structures, particularly the core column structures of WTC 1 and 2, are much too tough to disintegrate as these three buildings did. - - - - In addition to these technical observations, there is an overwhelming amount of additional evidence that discredits the official account of the events of September 11, 2001.

I have personally welded and cut a variety of steel over the span of thirty years. It would be extremely difficult to bring all the internal support beams of the Twin Towers to a high enough temperature to cause complete failure in all of them, much less the many floors below them that were not affected by the resulting fire.

From the time that I heard that they got hit to the time that I saw them fall I was thinking that they would have to tip over. It is inconceivable that they could ALL collapse in on themselves. Why do the demolition experts take so long to plan and place what is needed to fall buildings if it happens so consistently without planning? On the other hand I always felt that the elevator shafts acted like a Plenum to feed air to the Jet fuel to increase the rate of burn thus raising the temperature to be hot enough to weaken the surrounding structure. That being said, I can't conceive that could fall straight down.

Many unanswered questions about who was behind these criminal attacks on our people and country. The catastrophic failure of these redundantly strong structures combined with a pseudo investigation after the bulk of the buildings had been removed from the scene points to a massive cover up. The treatment of the first responders is also appalling given the fact they were unprotected in an area that was highly contaminated and dangerous to breath in.

When viewing the videos of the collapses, the flashes of the explosive cutter charges can be clearly seen, despite their mighty efforts to obscure the fact with the generation of the dust clouds. Building 7 was a straight-up controlled demolition...it happened hours after the previous event(s), and the building was not hit by a plane. The 'official' story is pure, unadulterated hogwash, and the omission of Building 7's destruction in the '9-11 Omission Report' is an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

Worked in the field for 3 years or so and then moved to TX to manage and run a stabilized cement plant for Gulf Coast stabilized materials. Recently moved back to CA. And currently working for a friend who has a small mobile welding service.
In 2001 my father had mentioned that he had no doubt that those building had been brought down with some type of demolition. I was only 11 and I was very defensive of his statement and did not even entertain the notion. Then in 2007 I had a different feeling about the way the war had gone and had watched a few documentaries and it really blew me away. I am convinced just based upon simple physics that there is more than enough reason for a new independent investigation.

Raised on Hop farm. Have seen Hop piking machines burn to the ground in grease fire and steel framework bends to the ground but is in tact.
Why have we not seen any other building fall this way, and why three in a row. Two from top to bottom and one like a regular destruction. Very suspicious. Should have been a lot of steel beams in tact.

Shearing punching,forming,bending,rolling-while cold. Welding,burning, gouging,melting,heating,annealing,bending-while hot. Familiar with problems of warpage and cracking when fabricating structures.
I have no conclusions about WTC1&2. WTC7 is the one that should not have collapsed. It was not hit by a plane, therefore the fire-proofing insulation was not compromised. There is not enough fuel in office furniture and carpet to weaken steel to the point of collapse. There is not enough oxygen present for this. That is why we filled the blast furnace with coke every morning and turned the blast air on, to melt iron. Lastly, steel structures are always way over engineered to withstand unforeseen occurrences like earthquakes or hurricanes. To think that it was like the proverbial 'straw that broke the camels back' is nonsense.

MY prior line of work was with local 63 (the iron workers union) where I welded on projects like the Construction of Trump tower here in Chicago.
After working with the same materials used to construct the towers there is absolutely no way the towers could have collapsed in that fashion or at all due to a fire, let alone being at the top of the towers and having jet fuel as the source. I believe NIST FABRICATED its computer model to fit the official story

I am a student of engineering in the aerospace concentration at Arizona State University. Before that I was a welder in the aerospace industry for a number of years. We would build parts for military vehicles for a defense contractor. I also worked as a welding fabricator building sandrails and safety roll cages as well as various other custom projects. It was through these jobs where I found my passion which drove me to pursue a degree in engineering.
I remember how I felt on that tragic day. I was in highschool in my morning math class where we watched the horror unfold. I didn't know it then but through years of seeing things that didn't add up, I decided to look more into what happened. Things just never added up. Thanks to the countless patriots that have put out documentaries, done research, and demanded answers, I have seen the truth. I want to continue to help and join the fight to bring the truth out to others and make them aware of the truth.

I have appropriate credentials in all my trades, all of which require mechanical foresight to do the job right the first time. At age 67 and still active, my experience qualifies me to listen to the evidence, watch the video clips and conclude without a doubt that the official story in a fabrication. I worked around scientists, engineers in my job and recently worked with a physicist in cold fusion research. I may be considered an intelligent layman. Again, in the context of my many years of experience, the collapse of building 7 is recognized as a controlled demolition.

My specific skill set includes welding, mechanic work, small construction and small/heavy equipment operation.

Once a skeptic, I began to watch every video/documentary available and researched the web over the last several years. Common sense soon took over regarding the 9/11 event and it began to become quite obvious that the official story is just that a 'Story' and a poorly told one at that.

Steel structure buildings do not collapse in there own footprint in near 10 seconds. Aluminum structure jets will not penetrate steel and concrete structures no matter how fast they are thrown at them. Very strange live videos were shot on 9/11, and I believe that the major networks that were covering the news were in sync with each other when the tower collapsed on television which I believe should never be the case. They should have been at least slightly out of sync.

Three years in Welding school. Studied Metallurgy in my final year. Worked with metal for the last 5 years vigorously. Performed personal experiments on steel based on 9/11 conclusion.
Aside from the obvious violation of physics and eye witness accounts of explosions, the presence of molten steel before and after the collapse in itself is enough to prove the official theory wrong I believe, we know what is required to turn steel into liquid and even if that building crushed itself somehow, the energy created would only ever cause physical deformation. I know the resilience of cold hard steel and the yield strength of those columns would far surpass the strain applied to them. 3 steel skyscrapers blown to dust, is there any other scientific way to explain it? Absolutely not.

I have been in the welding trade in various roles for over 35 years.... I know a bit about how metals melt and react to heat. The official story makes no sense to me at all.
It's a lie they are trying to push on us. I, as a regular Human citizen of earth, cannot swallow the 'official story' (lie), it just makes no sense. As a tradesman in the welding industry for over 35 years, I know a bit about how metals melt and react to heat... 9/11 just makes no sense. I strongly believe that it was a controlled demolition.. why ? Simply because it makes sense. We need the truth to come out, we need you guys to comb through it all and make a logical, scientific and factual truth... whether we like it or not.

As a welder and fabricator, I know how steel and metals heat and bend. And I am a truth seeker, free minded individual. I can see baloney all over 9/11.
It was a controled demolition of the Towers and Building 7. And the Pentagon was hit with a cruise missile. People need to get the truth out there. All this that is happening today all started with a lie. The wall, the immigrants, the war, the debt, the surveillance of U.S. citizens. Our rights are gone through the patriot act, all because of this lie. Keep pushing. The truth is worth it.

I have been doing construction estimating for large-scale building projects and civil engineering. As an estimator, I get involved in all facets of building construction. I have witness controlled demolition on various occasions throughout my career. The minute I saw WTC 7 collapse, I thought to myself, 'That looks like a controlled demolition.' I happened to live and work from my home office in Weehawken, NJ, and had a clear view of the Twin Towers and the ominous plums of black smoke enshrouding 'The City.'
Initially, I believed, like most people I knew, that 'WE' were attacked by 'enemies' cuz they were/are jealous of our freedoms. Then several personal life-changing events occurred in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. I traveled outside of the country for the first time in my life for business purposes during 'The Bush Years.' For the first time, I saw and heard world events from a perspective other than the propaganda-oriented US media. Then I hired a Sri Lankan Muslim as a technical assistant. The assistant shared with me certain 'facts' about the 9/11 attacks including a certain group of people who conspicuously took the day off on 9/11 (including 'Lucky Larry'). As time went on, I was drawn more into certain facts concerning 9/11, particularly after seeing the film of WTC 7 collapsing into its own footprint (without even considering the free-fall anomaly). My curiosity led me to the 911 Truth Movement.

Graduated High school in 1975. I worked on a farm for several years. I took some metal working classes after high school that including welding. I have worked with steel and iron for many years.
After much research into this subject I have come to believe that parts of our government on many levels either caused or allowed the events of 9/11 to happen.

I have worked in the construction industry as an iron worker erecting steel frame buildings for seven years and was a certified welder. Welding experience over 31 years. - - Even though I don't have an engineering degree or any other three letter designation attached to my name, I do have common sense and with my work background know enough about how steel recasts to heat and its strength, to know this DID NOT happen from a aluminum cylinder filled with kerosene smashing into such a structure. Nor did the building simply fall and collapse from an office fire. - - What a Lie these people and government people are telling!!!
I'm not sure why or who is behind all this cover-up and lies but I am sure it has everything to do with MONEY, POWER and GLOBALISM.

I have always been skeptical of how either the north or south tower could possibly collapse in the manner they did from burning jet fuel. And building 7? No way that was not a controlled demolition.

Under, and above ground MSHA enclosed and confined space welding and fab.
My belief, due to my knowledge and experience is that it is absolutely impossible to take down a skyscraper with an exo-skeletal heavy steel frame with an aluminum built airliner. No matter how much fuel you add to the mix. The 'Official Story is Bunk'

Never took a second look at September 11 until 2011 whereby learning through ''unpopular '' media discovered the many inconsistencies and most definitely the resistance of any sort of investigation of the collapsing 3 buildings.

Born in NYC, lived in Soho, Tribeca in the 1970's. Had a motorcycle accident on the corner of West and Vesey Streets (where Battery Park Housing (?) was being constructed).We all thought the buildings were ugly. Was inside once, took the elevator and felt my stomach on the ground floor. Before moving to the Boston area, I was a jeweler, waitress, bar-tender, rest. manager and day care teacher. I started college at Fordham at Lincoln Center, my dad worked for the NY Times...The smoke was white just before the buildings fell in on themselves at free-fall speed.Fireman heard the bombs. Many people heard the bombs. The molten steel was a result of thermite. I have read just about everything I could on book, DVD, personal interviews with many first responders, Air traffic controller, brother of the co-pilot on the first plane out of Boston. Daniel Lewin worked at MIT, part of the Theory of Computation division at CSAIL. I learned on so many levels that this was a demolition/inside job/ physically impossible, by November of 2001. I met a lot of people who played various roles, which served to confirm what I was piecing together. By December of 2001 there was no science to back up the official narrative. 20 years later and this false flag-inside job served it's purpose. The fact that officials changed the name from 'the pile' (as people involved called it) to ground zero, was telling. That this government got away with this crime and subsequent wars and the legalization of torture is HORRENDOUS. Thank you for doing this important work.

I have not and will not ever believe that the WTC came down due to the aircrafts that hit them. I believe it was (as bad as this sounds) a set up and was done on purpose to go to war. All the documentaries I have watches and interviews lead me to believe it was all set up.
