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.

Currently serve as Director of Facilities for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. I have worked on skyscraper projects and many steel-framed buildings of all sizes and shapes.
I always felt doubt about the official story and was uncomfortable taking a strong position on the issue in public. - - - - I always knew that 9/11 was premeditated and likely foreknown by neoconservative elements of our government and other rouge entities. Likely even Israel. - - - - After listening to Mr. Gage's presentation and looking further into the evidence however I am convinced there is no way any of these buildings could have fallen short of a controlled demolition. The evidence is overwhelming. I no longer have any doubt. I am also proud to be part of an industry which has come out on the side of truth despite the consequences. Kudos to Richard Gage for being one of the best of us. - - - - I feel a detailed, public investigation with teeth needs to be made here and the perpetrators of crimes brought to justice.

TERRY NORMAN, CEng., BSc Eng., M Inst.M & C. Terry is a capable and respected design engineer with a wide experience of production plant, process engineering, construction, commissioning and project engineering. After obtaining a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of London in 1969, this was followed by comprehensive industrial training with the Shell Company as an Instrument and Control Engineer. With over 20 years in the oil and gas industry and spells in the Steel Industry and in British Aerospace Military Division as a mechanical test engineer, Terry then spent 13 years with the Health and Safety Executive as a specialist engineer, covering safety case work and accident investigation on construction plant and lifting equipment. He has developed a thorough knowledge of the HSAWA principle of risks being as low as reasonably practicable, and has prepared and presented evidence for safety case assessment and litigation purposes on numerous occasions.
Simple observation of the falling of the towers shows typical characteristics of controlled explosive demolition. Even if it had been possible to melt the structural steel on the upper floors from fuel burning, which is doubtful, it is highly likely, virtually certain, that the upper sections of the towers would have toppled intact, leaving the lower sections standing.

It is an absolute scientific certainty that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were destroyed by energetic material (i.e. explosives) in a controlled demolition: all three buildings came down at nearly free fall acceleration, meaning that the gravitational potential energy from the weight of the buildings was entirely converted in kinetic energy. So the energy that pulverised all the concrete and cut all the steel beams and columns in mid-air necessarily had to come from something else. Only explosives can release that much energy in such a short time. Furthermore, the unnatural symmetry of the collapses requires a very accurate timing => it was a controlled demolition.

I have a BSEE from U. of Mich, Dec. 1983 and have been working in the consumer electronics field since then, mostly in the TV and audio / music fields.
It's become obvious to anyone with ANY technical background that 9/11 was NOT done by some hapless Muslims with box cutters and cellphones. To prove a crime, you need evidence to establish three things: Means, motive and opportunity. It's a VERY, very short list of groups that satisfy these requirements. And thanks to people like Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, we have a pile of evidence that stacks to the moon. Nice work, fellas. Keep it up.

I received a BS in Aerospace Engineering from San Jose State University in California, with a concentration in dynamics and controls. I was an Aerospace Engineer working for Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale with the DSCS and Trident programs. I have had two brain surgeries and am now permanently disabled.
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.

Reasonable doubt' unequivocally exists, and it is corroborated by volumes of cogent, comprehensive, and compelling evidence that systematically and irrefutably challenges the 'collapse' theory of destruction. The questions being asked are beyond reasonable, relevant, and are appropriate. A formal, independent, unbiased investigation must be undertaken, as a failure to do so would be criminal in the most encompassing sense of the word.

Thirty years of practice as an architect and urban designer in San Francisco and Denver. Two years as Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, University of Illinois, Champaigne. Two years as Assistant Professor, College of Environmental Design, University of Colorado, Boulder.
At 1.8 million square feet, WTC 7 was possibly larger than any building on the West Coast. Bank of America (1.4 million sf) and the Transamerica Pyramid (.5 million sf), the two highest buildings in San Francisco, are together only slightly greater in area. Few Americans know that WTC 7 collapsed, even fewer know how big it was. I have read that its collapse was shown only one time on television; in its documentaries about the WTC collapse, PBS not only didn't explain the collapse of WTC7 but never even mentioned the collapse of a third building, because doing so would have undermined their conclusion that planes and jet fuel were responsible for the collapses. Much evidence exists of explosions throughout the WTC buildings. Persistent pools of 2000 degree metal can only be explained by the presence of thermite/thermate, used in planned demolitions. Squibs, puffs of smoke characteristic of planned demolitions, can be clearly seen in advance of the collapses. The official story does not explain the collapse of WTC7 or the collapse of the cores of WTC 1 and 2. YouTube videos of a BBC reporter announcing the collapse of WTC7 just prior to its actual collapse is convincing proof that the authorities had advance knowledge of its imminent collapse. There is just one explanation for the evidence associated with these collapses: demolition by expertly planned and placed explosives.

It is my opinion the aviation fuel from the aircraft was not the reason for the collapse, due to the nature of the fuel, that being under atmospheric pressure at this height above sea level, Jet A1 does not burn as indicated in the video evidence, on 9/11 to corrupt, distort, or melt steel or iron. Further, the solid transformers on site for the high rise elevators could not have melted due to the fuel fire, being too cold to effect change in metal. Neither aviation gas, Jet A1, nor propane could (unless combined with oxygen in a torch effect seen on Job sites that welders use on professional job sites).

I worked doing corporate IT, in an A/E firm for 10 years. My experience with Architects and Engineers resulted in a very high respect for their skills and understanding in the design and construction of buildings and roads and various facilities like dams, power plants, etc. If there are this many Architects and Engineers stating why there is false information about what was made public information, then it's true.
I believe the A/E's. I worked with them for 10 years, had to understand the software tools they used and why, and because I have an inquiring mind developed a better than layman's general understanding of the science and technology tools behind how they design and build things.

The idea that WTC-1, 2 & 7 could all collapse within their respective building envelopes begs belief. There is more to this disaster than has ever been told. America and the World deserve the truth.
