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 really have no structural experience other than taking structural engineering at NMSU. My experience has been with highways and municipal design.
The official story is that the buildings, weakened by fire, and falling under their own wight, pancaked down. The collapse happened in less than 10 seconds, which is about the time for a free falling object from that height to hit the ground. Resistance of building joints at each floor would have slowed the fall and possibly caused a much less even descent, perhaps even toppling. Pancaking would have left much more evidence. Explosives would have removed all evidence leaving only dust.

Building 7 is the most glaring example of an inside job. It looks exactly like all the buildings we have seen demolished using controlled demolition. In the twin towers you can clearly see explosions and debris shooting out many floors below the collapse zone. The buildings fell at (WTC 7) or near (Twin towers) free fall. I have been studying this event for four years and I do not believe the official story.

I have a military background and am an experienced controlled blasting expert, having worked on the tunnel in Azad Jammu Kashmir for a mega hydel power project.
Beyond a doubt, the WTC buildings were a highly professional controlled demolition job. It must have taken about 6-8 weeks of preparation. The evidence collected and the design simulation calculations show that US government and NIST offered explanations that do not hold water. What is astonishing and totally humiliating is the fact that the government thought the world was full of morons, and that they could pull this off by saying utter nonsense like jet fuel caused the collapses.

I've always been employed by large firms in general practice, with my last 20 years spent in construction administration work. I was supervising architect of the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno, NV, and project architect of Sheraton Grande Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.
I have watched two documentaries about the tower collapses and one about discrepancies involving the aircraft; I now believe that we have been totally lied to about what happened with regard to this tragedy. However, it's clear from the magnitude of the operation and coverup that it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to ever bring the actual guilty parties to justice. I think that this is but one example of the way that the 1% have taken control of this country. Forty years ago one of my college history professors said that there would someday be a revolution in this country and the government would be very surprised who joined it. I think that day is not far off!

I became keenly aware that something wasn't right about the whole scenario surrounding the collapse of two skyscrapers. Having grown up in the shadow of the Empire State Building in New York City in my youth and young adult life, I remember hearing in school that lower Manhattan was Ground Zero in the event of nuclear attack. Living and working in skyscrapers is the norm in NYC. They are virtually indestructible given the amount of steel used and a history of over-building these structures. Then I saw the Loose Change video and that opened my eyes in disbelief that our government could do something like this and hope to get away with it. Let's start with independent hearings to determine the cause of failure of these buildings from a scientific analysis. Let the evidence lead us from there towards criminal prosecution of the guilty.

I feel there is too much evidence (often suppressed) that suggest that the buildings were brought down through use of explosives. Having studied buildings in school, the 'official' explanation simply does not match up with how buildings are demolished or what happens when they are attacked.

Still with the NPS.
The evidence produced as the official story related to the supposed collapse of three buildings at ground zero in New York City simply cannot be true. Much more comprehensive, scienfitic evidence has been independently produced. Mounds of evidence were rapidly removed from the site, and the presence of molten metals and dust particles containing evidence of thermate are too compelling to ignore. The official story, however, does just that. It is an insult to our professional intelligence to take the official story at face value. Too many questions remain as to exactly what happened on 9/11/01.

Saw the towers come down on CNN in luderitz, Namibia on 9 Sept 2001 - as far away from that world as you could get. Bought into the bush conspiracy immediately and thought nothing more about it until I was looking for some images of the world trade centers towers in July 2007 and came across the vast amount of info on the net about the incidents and the alternate theories (some very wacky and out there) to what happened. Then I saw both Richards slide show and Steve e Jones power point on the net and found the facts presented did not added up to what had been presented as the truth at the time. When you step back and have over view , what Richard is asking for makes complete sense. The research presented by Richard is sound. Buildings do not collapse the way these three did by themselves.

Having watched several documentaries on the destruction of the towers, I have come to the conclusion that the latest information I saw in PBS supports my belief that the destruction of the towers was NOT a normal collapse for bldgs of their type. My experiences with explosives and cutting steel using military demolitions supports the evidence I saw on this informational documentary. I DID believe the initial graphic documentaries describing structural failure of the steel pins attaching the exterior shell to the center core. However, the evidence of explosions, and the chemical traces that have were shown in 911truth documentary are correct in my opinion and support a further investigation as well as prosecution of the parties involved in ordering the destruction of the towers. Lastly, the suggestion that the purpose of the war in Afghanistan is to seek out the cause/director of the plane bombs leaves me with great disappointment and a failing faith in the leadership of this country.

I applied for citizenship upon turning eighteen in 1982. I attended Texas Tech for 3 years, interned at Morris Architects for two summers but returned to Houston, unable to afford the next semester. I managed to find employment in '86 worked as a surveyor, married and worked in interior architecture firm for high-rise corporate and law firms until returning to complete my B.Arch at University of Houston from 89-92, where I finished 2nd in my class. Immediately employed with a residential firm and then on High rise multifamily projects at Jackson and Ryan. In 2002 founded my own firm now consulting on multifamily and medical high rise projects.
It was my gut response on that morning that there was no way the towers could ever collapse, but they did. I was personally embarrassed but feel vindicated on seeing video for the first time some years ago and then again today. The chemical makeup of the dust, the horizontal explosions, explosive projectiles and pulverized bone fragments are all clear evidence of explosive charges. I hope the full story will be uncovered once and for all.

I attended University of California at Berkeley in 1984-1986. I studied at the College of Environmental Design for a Bachelor of Arts degree, but added classes in the Structural Engineering Department for an Independent degree entitled Architecture and Structures. - - - - I worked in the field, including many years for Jacobson Silverstein Winslow in Berkeley before starting my own practice Erickson Zebroski Design Group, Inc in San Francisco in 1994. Our work focuses primarily on Residential design.
I had gotten up early on Sept 11 2001 to catch up on some Architectural work, while my 18 month old son slept in the other room. As I watched the towers collapse on TV, my first thought was that the buildings fell too neatly. My second thought was that my life and the life of my son would change dramatically from that moment forward. - - - - Reading through the information that later came out about the collapses, I've never had a doubt that it was a planned demo and attack. The evidence is just too strong and compelling.

It appears at very least, despite some very strong evidence that supports conspiracy theories, there has been some serious negligence in the investigation of what happened. I watch September 11th unfold from my window... That day felt odd from the time I woke up at 8am. 9 years later that feeling is still there when you watch the footage.

As a small child I witnessed the collapse of a non-combustible manufacturing building after the steel structure was subjected to extreme heat from a raging fire for hours. The pile of rubble left by the twisted, melted structure was more than half as tall as when the structure stood when in tact. - - - - I have also witnessed the planned implosion of four or more high-rise buildings. - - - - I believe it is very possible that there was much more to the demise of Towers 1 and 2 than just the impact of jets and the power of the fuel they contained. Reasons for the collapse of Tower 7 has remained to me unsatisfactorily explained in the media coverage for the events of 9-11-01. - - - - I am deeply concerned that scientific calculations, debris material sampling and analysis have not been given a fair platform in which the causes of the three Trade Center building collapses on 9-11-01 would be clarified and given fair media and grounds for understanding and justice.

From the moment you witnessed it, you knew that that is not the way a building falls from that type of damage and instead has all the markings of a planned, controlled demolition project.

The controlled demolition collapse of WTC #7 calls into question the official story by NIST and a subsequent cover-up of the facts relating to explosions witnessed by first responders and witnesses (and documented evidence of incendiary devices and molten steel on site after the collapse). These facts require a non-political independent investigation by qualified individuals (with subpoena power) to substantiate the true cause of the free-fall collapse of WTC #7 and by whom.

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.

On the morning of 9/11/01 when the TV showed the twin towers being hit by airplanes and then later pancaking straight down to the ground it was so implausible I thought it was a movie. I didn't expect any structural failure but not even the upper floors toppled to the side. It was obviously a controlled demolition! No doubt that building 7 was brought down by explosives not fire. Yet high rises are continue to be built with little discussion of changes to the building codes.

I was registered with RIBA and had since withdrawn my affliation in 2006
The way the building collapsed ( WTC ) looks very very suspicious. A tower that high could not have collapsed that neatly, debris crushing down like that, and had hardly affected the surrounding in terms of damages from the expected towers' side way topple. Could that amount of fuel melted the steel core in such a short time span ? People were still speaking on mobile phones from inside the tower, minutes before the collapse though choking in smoke. The supposed heat that melted the steel could have incinerated the people before they could continue speaking for so long up and until before the collapse.

There should be a real investigation into what happened to the three buildings that collapsed, with all the comparisons and information we have regarding how a building falls at free-fall speed with control demolition, I have no doubt that the september 11 day happenings where a planned catastrophe and was one of the biggest crimes in history, this should be held accountable to the people that orchestrated this crimes. There is to many things left unsaid, and facts, proofs, doubts on people all around the world on what really happened that day.

I am young and diplomated, I've been working on old people's home and individual homes, and have been working for several years on international politics, esoterism, geopolitical, military technologies...
WTC 7 couldn't have fallen with a little fire... I heard some videos where people said pull it, and I think they did it for the 3 towers.

I've been a practicing Architect for 20 years and have designed numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings. More recently I've performed construction administration services for a new $120M high school campus including a $10M steel-framed gymnasium; managing construction documentation of a mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq. ft. of retail and 320,000 sq.ft. of high-rise office space - altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
The WTC Twin Towers and Building #7 appear to have been brought down, not by jet impacts and/or fires as we have been led to believe, but by controlled demolition with explosives. The evidence noted on AE911Truth.org and other excellent websites is prima facie and will, with the increasing public awareness and demand for the truth, result in a new truly independent investigation with subpoena power. A/E's must now become leaders for 9/11 Truth - Join Us!

In practice since 1964, registered since 1969. Have designed all types of buildings from small residences to high-rise buildings. Currently a principal in a 14-person architectural firm that designs primarily churches and municipal buildings.
I have known from day-one that the buildings were imploded and that they could not and would not have collapsed from the damage caused by the airplanes that ran into them.
