Among more than 600 architects and engineers who have signed our petition, one doesn’t get much closer to the inner workings of the WTC than Richard Humenn, our Petitioner of the Month for April. Humenn was the Senior Project Engineer-Electrical who worked on the construction of the WTC from the bidding period to several decades afterward.

Humenn earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1954. Shortly after graduating, he spent three years as a first lieutenant and electrical engineer in the US Army, building power plants in South Korea during the Korean war. Upon his return in the late 1950s, he went to work for Joseph Loring, whose firm would eventually win the electrical contract for the construction of the WTC. He began his work on the WTC project around 1963 and continued to be involved until his retirement in 1997.

Last year, AE911Truth arranged an interview with Humenn to get further insight. In that discussion, Humenn admits the building collapses didn’t look right. Recalling the robust cage structure of the core columns, exterior columns and hefty girders, he said, “I couldn’t visualize the core columns coming down with the floors.” He was also surprised that the collapse initiation was at the top instead of the point of impact. After watching the presentation by Richard Gage, Humenn says, “I was compelled to want to see some further investigation.”
