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: Residential And Commercial Design
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in architecture from the Oxford School of Architecture, Oxford, UK. I then moved back to the US to work as an apprentice in the Master of Architecture program at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale AZ. During this time, my interest in the connection between landscape and architecture grew. After spending a year as an apprentice, I met a multidisciplinary designer named Pliny Fisk in Austin, Texas. I then moved to work with Pliny on the Texas A&M solar decathlon project, and I eventually attended Texas A&M where Pliny was signature faculty in the architecture department. While completing my Masters degree in architecture, I constructed my off grid shelter in Tuscola, Texas near where I grew up. I also collaborated with numerous architects and designers on award winning building projects around the world. Since that time, I have continued to work on projects at a variety of scales and types with an emphasis on connecting buildings and people to places with design. I'm currently a project designer at Laguarda Low Architecture and Planning in Dallas, and owner of Taproot Studio: a residential and commercial design practice.
To AIA members who voted down AIA Resolution 15-6: Why wouldn't you investigate a circumstance indicating that current best practices in steel building construction are endangering the lives of everyone in and around the building? How could you assert that you are upholding the reasonable standard of care if NIST says that low temperature fires in steel buildings can and do lead to free fall collapse scenarios as seen in Building 7? While some of you may suspect that NIST is being deceptive, you may view the incidents of 9/11 as disconnected with your own life and practice. If so, you're wrong there. If you let building 7 go uninvestigated, you set the stage for a repeat scenario (and in so doing fail to uphold the professional standard of care), as it could be your building next. We don't know how to safeguard against the real threat until we investigate a circumstance and determine the cause. Anyone with university level education in architecture in the U.S. has no excuse for not demanding an investigation into the collapse of WTC 7 in the interest of improving design factors and codes for steel construction.

I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech and have worked for ten years as a noise and vibration engineer doing testing and analysis for sound and structural vibration.
Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means. The American public needs to be informed. We have been caught up in a massive disinformation campaign and are suffering from an identity crisis. We can no longer remain deaf, dumb and blind to this.

Had some doubts about the twin towers collapse soon(several months)after 911 but did not pursue the matter. Heard from others stories of 'conspiracy' but got the feeling from relatives who lost loved ones that day that any discussion of an 'inside job' was hurtful for them. In total I 'went along' with official story - but always felt that it was strange that the 'top floors' plunged straight down so smoothly and didn't tumble off to side. The Truth in Focus conference was a welcome relief for me. To hear the analyses from others who know that physics does not take a 'day off'.

I was 3/4 of a mile away from WTC when I witnessed the planes impact the buildings and the subsequent collapse of the towers. I performed some tasks near Ground Zero for a few days after and remained working downtown further away from the site afterwards. I am one of thousands who are being monitored by the Mt. Sinai health monitoring program. Much to the dismay of the Bush crime family, I ain't dead yet! Disclaimer: I am not an architect or a building engineer.
It's glaringly obvious that the 9/11 Commission Report was a white-wash. I also received my first lessons on the 9/11 cover-up by David Ray Griffin. I wasn't hip to the whole explosives theory though UNTIL I watched the power-point presentation and the other videos of Mr. Gage on this site. I couldn't get over the magnitude of such an operation (placing thousands of charges) but, as Mr. Gage points out, you have to look at the evidence FIRST. I witnessed lateral ejections of metal and glass at the beginning of collapse but, it didn't send up any flags at the time because I'm not a C.D. expert.

Looks like all three buildings that collapsed were blown with explosives that were expertly placed and deployed, since the buildings were essentially free-falling into their footprints. You don't need to be an engineer or architect to see something is wrong with the way these buildings came down.

The way the building collapsed makes no scientific sense. The buildings fell down as if it were pulverized , like what occurs in a controlled demolition. In addition, there were parts of the building that seemed to be falling in the horizontal axis as well as downward, as if they were exploded outward from the building.. Pieces of the building were found very distant from where the buildings stood.

I have two years' experience with utility hardware marketing and technical support, and three years' experience with electrical design layout and specification.
The freefall acceleration of Building 7, which NIST admits to, is not explained credibly by their computer model. The twin towers should not have fallen at all, since they were in static equilibrium, then suddenly explosively collapsed through the path of most resistance.

I have severe doubts about the official story we're being told about the collapses of the 3 World Trade Center buildings that went down on 9/11/01. I've spent years doing my own investigation. It is important to me that the real truth be told.

It is a whole bunch of bull shit. Right when I saw it happen I thought to myself George Bush did it. It just came to me. I was in grade 9 at the time and every time I see it and watch it, it is more clear, that this was controlled. One skyscraper just does not crumble like this.

Recently 911 truth finding has caught my attention. WIll become active in spreading the word in China and in my home country New Zealand. I am teaching here in Beijing students who will go to Western countries so I will make sure that I spread the word to them and all my friends and family about this issue.
Absolutely no doubt about the conclusive scientific evidence and cover up. Until an independent inquiry is undertaken this issue will never go away. I hope this will come sooner rather than later so we can prevent any further repercussions of blaming innocents who had nothing to do with the attacks.

I am not an engineer or architect. I'm just an average Joe. I work in retail and live a normal life (whatever that means). I never graduated from high school nor went to college. I worked at an occult shop for a year and I met some interesting people that were affiliated with certain occult groups in high places. I am not happy with their intentions. I am a loving conscious being that loves humanity and I want to do everything in my power help these poor people find some light in their hearts.
I remember in April of 2001 I was watching a series on the Discovery channel about controlled demolition and the science behind it. As you can expect once I saw the Towers come down something inside me did not feel right. Because of what I learned on the Discovery channel, and before the official story was hammered into our psychology, I immediately new the planes and the fires that resulted from them were not the reason the Towers came down.

I am an American, educated in California, where I have spent my much life to date. I work in technology and while I enjoy reading technology related material, much of my personal library is of political nature. I have family in New York City and Connecticut and have been back there many times.
I recall reading, prior to 9/11, that the WTC was of inefficient design for modern offices and full of asbestos. The collapse seemed strange at the time but when the EPA claimed that the air was safe, I thought something is very wrong here. After absorbing much information, there appears to be compelling evidence to suggest that everything is not as it seems.

I had a 2 yr course in welding in a vocational welding class in high school. Years later I put it to use when I went to work for Thrall rail car and then Morton metal craft, a total of 13 yrs. I did a lot of cutting through those years involving different processes and gases.
I have watched a lot of interviews and videos and the official report just does not add up. I can clearly see the explosions going off as the towers collapse. Working with red hot metal a lot I have a good idea of its characteristics. There is no way a pile driver effect could cause such a collapse. Heat transfer would have had to be enormous to weaken the structure all the way down and there is nothing to support that that kind of extreme heat existed. Then you have building 7 falling straight down with no resistance.

No bio just a concerned observer ......... Very much an issue / event I have followed since inception among my many concerns is the way websites disappear. There have been many over the years that I have book marked and then come back to some time later to find they have vanished! Really hoping that that is not going to be the case here!!
it is a physical impossibility for three buildings to collapse to the ground completely destroyed due to weakening of the structures by fire alone

No technical architectural or engineering experience, but have researched the events of 9/11 extensively and am convinced by fact, logic and common sense that events didn't completely follow the official line and that this should be re-assessed.
I lived in the United States for 3 years and watched with extreme sympathy the History Channel version of the collapse of the WTC towers. I was shocked, therefore when following the story of Colleen Rowley, that I came across stories that varied from the official Bush Administration's story. Further investigation drew me to A&E for 9/11 Truth and it was the technical and scientific data with regard to the collapses (which had looked suspicious on the day, but was eclipsed by one's shock and horror at the situation), that persuaded me that it is entirely necessary that a new investigation be undertaken.

It was irrefutable to watch the towers come down at the speed of gravity in dust, not by 2 planes full of gasoline but controlled demolition which I have seen in the past to bring down high rises in their own footprint.

I have been active in political issues for two decades.
I attended Cal Poly and heard a speech on this issue as well as read articles on the issue of implosion of the twin towers. As an interested person on the subject, I believe the twin towers were not 'downed' by airplanes, but rather by implosion. I heard the talk by the University of Utah Physics professor on the subject of building implosions and how one MUST conclude that the buildings did implode.
