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.

Received a BSEE in 1958 while working at nights and summers at Douglas Aircraft Company. Initially I worked for Servomechanisms Inc for 2 years, then Nortronics on the Polaris Missile System for 2 years before joining Canoga Electronics. My work there for 8 years was on digital interfaces. I briefly worked at Sagetec, a startup, before forming Data Works in Los Angeles in 1973. Three years later it was purchased by Fairchild who moved it to San Jose. In 1978, myself and two partners bought it back from Fairchild and started ICS Electronics which specialized in GPIB computer to instrument interfaces. I was president and ran the company until was sold in 2018. Construction has always been a side interest of mine as we built two buildings for ICS and our own home in the Bay area. I am currently retired and doing some consulting for ICS.
The video about the collapse of 1 WTC has always bothered me. The radio spire on top of the building appears to sink before the building starts to fall This is very reminiscent of all of the building demolition videos I have seen. My second problem is the lack of plane debris at the crash site at Shanksville and at the Pentagon. I think the whole story about 9/11 needs to be reviewed.

Based on information I've read and heard, there is little doubt the official government explanation of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 is accurate. As an American citizen, I believe my government should pursue the full truth of what actually occurred on 9/11/01, and has continued to occur, which has kept the truth from becoming known.Anyone who was involved in the 9/11/01 attacks on America, and anyone who has caused, or assisted, in distorting and/or covering up the factual reality of what occurred should be identified and appropriately prosecuted.

Studied the collapses by reviewing 100's of online articles, Richard Gage's documentary. I have looked into this for well over the past 5 years. I have concluded the airliners were not the the cause WTC1, WTC2 or WTC7 to collapse. Interior demolition explosives had to be planted in the buildings prior and the primary cause of the collapses. My concern is to open the investigation based on the facts, then find out who did it, why and prevent it from happening again. This kind of crime, gone unchecked, will undoubtably happen again in worse fashion in the form of a mushroom cloud. I think it is time for the American People to take the blinders off.

All of the buildings at the World Trade Center Site were destroyed by controlled explosives on September 11, 2001. You do not have to be an Architect or an Engineer to tell that they collapsed due to all of the structural columns being destroyed at the same time and sequentially floor by floor. This is the only way the buildings could have fallen into their own footprint. It is impossible that they were destroyed by the 2 planes that crashed into the 2 World Trade Center Towers.

An American citizen born and raised in Maryland. I feel like it is my right as a citizen to know the truth about what has happened on 9/11. I've been lied to by our leaders for long enough and deserve an explanation.
I'm concerned about the timing of the collapse of the towers. And, also the near perfect landing of each tower as if it were a controlled demolition. The event just seems to perfect to have been caused by airplanes that would have normally disintegrated upon impact. Not to mention any fuel fire I've witnessed during a traffic accident seems to burn out rather quickly. The amount of fuel in those 2 planes combined could not equal the amount that is carried by a fully loaded tanker truck. Especially after having flown for 90 minutes to their final destination.

In my honest opinion, after a careful viewing of independent facts, studies, and also personally being at the site of a building take-down I believe the WTC 1,2,7 were taken down deliberately by means of controlled demolition. I have also seen Larry Silverstein's PBS interview that WTC was decided to be pulled, how could this have been done in just a few hours, it is impossible, it takes weeks of planning, and then some more time.

Towers fell at nearly free fall speed. How is that possible? 110 stories with no resistance from the floors (reinforced steel & concrete) below it. The floors must have been blown up internally. Jet fuel can not cut through steel.

I was born, I live and will one day die. Nothing important about me.
There is no way in hell that all 3 buildings would collapse at free fall speeds through the path of the greatest resistance. Even if all supports in all 3 buildings melted at exactly the same time. The tops would have fallen to one side or another unless the bottom supports were blown out prior to the collapse.

I believe our nation as well as the world needs to know the truth behind the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. America should not only how things happened, but who was responsible. I believe everything ranging from eyewitnesses to the media and the Bush administration should be carefully and thoroughly analyzed/investigated in an aggressive effort to repair our mistrust of our own government as well as restore America's credibility throughout the world.
I have seen documentary films regarding theories of the Collapses and for someone as skeptical as myself, too many unanswered questions as well as controversial circumstances surrounding 9/11 have caused me to believe there is strong evidence that 9/11 was a planned and coordinated series of events.

Michael Ryan received his bachelor of architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, and Florence, Italy in 1985. In the same year he moved to Milan and joined Sottsass Associates. Both as a partner from 1989 to 2001, and for his solo studio, mmRyan, active since 1988, he has done numerous projects in the fields of architecture, interior design, industrial design and urban planning. He has also conducted seminars and workshops at various Italian and foreign universities and institutes as well as participating in group and solo shows both in Italy and abroad.
Ample evidence has surfaced since the events occurred which require that this case be reopened and independently studied. Substantial doubt about the 911 Commission's findings is warranted. This must be top on the agenda of the next administration. To advance credible, alternative hypotheses as to what happened without further investigation, however, is at best conjecture. We need to reopen this investigation.

It is imperative that an independent, non-biased, truthful study be conducted on what really happened to cause these buildings to collapse. We, the people, need to seek out and find the truth.

Truly believe, based on all my research, that these buildings were imploded. Therefore, someone had to be involved in putting these explosive devices in the buildings. Do not believe that Osama Bin Laden carried this out. If not him, who could it have been?

I am a professional musician but prior to college achieved perfect grades in math and science, and was very interested in physics...it would surely have been my other career choice had music not been a particular talent. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Michigan and a Master's Degree from the Yale University, where I majored in music and (at both institutions) took courses in the history of architecture. I also took a course in philosophy and the history of proving arguments. I consider myself highly educated, pragmatic, cynical...not easily fooled, and rely on instances of incontrovertible fact (scientific method) to support arguments rather than gut feelings.
It amazes me that Building 7 has been swept under the rug, and that anyone who thinks about physics in even an abstract or rudimentary way (separated from science or mathematics) cannot see the obvious impossibility that the towers pancaked in under ten seconds at free fall speed leaving no piles of pancaked floors whatsoever. From learning (on your site and others) of the presence of microscopic spherical metal droplets in the vast acres of concrete dust which are the buildings' primary remains, I concur that they were exploded with an extremely well-engineered methodology.

As an avid CSPAN watcher I happened upon Dr. Stephen Jones speaking about the three towers in October of 2006. Upon hearing his calm, logical and quite frightening conclusions I decided indeed that 9-11 needed further investigation. I have done my own research - not scientific - but merely following political discussions surrounding Operation Able Danger and Rep. Curt Weldon's efforts to expose that issue. As such I am not an architect nor engineer - just an accountant with a need for the truth - for humanities sake.
Having attended the Boston 9/11 Truth conference in December of 2007 and having watched several films on the subject it seems quite clear that first responders and others witnessed explosions and indeed WTC 7 clearly was a demolition per anyone's eyes. Also the fact that the BBC reported the building falling 20 minutes prior to when it did is cause for concern. I read the BBC's explanation and it was lacking to say the least.
