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 enjoy spending time with my boys teaching them about our REAL history. They attend a private school and I wouldn't have it any other way. In my free time I dedicate 99.9% to research on topics such as 9/11. I use my Graphic Design skills to create flyers, banners, and info sheets etc. for our We Are Change group and other area groups.
I am disappointed in other Americans who choose not to believe their own eyes. It is obvious to me that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Now, it is time to help others be brave enough to see that for themselves and thanks to the efforts of AE 9/11 Truth, we have a better chance of making that happen.

I graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.S. Arch. in 2001. I have since practiced architecture as a consultant periodically. My primary course of interest has been in gaining hands on experience in construction in order to gain a deep understanding of the built environment. Of late, I have shifted my focus to energy efficiency and am a Certified Passive House Consultant. I work as a Project Manager for a Home Performance company focused on making homes more energy efficient, durable, safe, comfortable and healthy.
Having seen a documentary on building demolition prior to the collapse of the 3 high rises, I have believed all along that it is more likely that explosives were involved than not. It takes engineering and skill to execute a demolition so neatly. The evidence of the presence of Thermite is hard to ignore. I can't help but wonder, how and why explosives were in place?

I retired from the Air Force over thirty years ago after serving 20 years. I was trained as a B-52 mechanic. During my service as an airplane mechanic, one of our duties was to clean up after an airplane crash which I did after 3 B-52's crashed in Washington state. So, I am familiar with what a crash site looks like. Also I worked in the Pentagon for four years and am somewhat familiar with the security there.
Through the years I have always been interested in viewing large structures that were demolished. The twin towers and building 7 in my opinion were brought down by specialists. Anyone can see that building 7 was a classic pull. The pentagon photos do not show where the wings along with the engines would have hit. It is very difficult to believe that this large airliner would totally disappear into that hole. And where are the other videos from the pentagon?

My conclusion is that the buildings fell as a result of controlled demolition.

The events on 9/11 seemed very suspicious at the time. On further review, Building 7 is the smoking gun of 9/11. The building was obviously brought down by explosives. It takes planning and skill to bring a building down. There is no way the explosives were planted the day of the collapse. The fact that Buildings 1 & 2 leases were sold to Larry Silverstein, a developer, by the NYC Port Authority months before is also suspect. There is widespread knowledge in the real estate community that the twin towers were white elephants and both buildings needed significant asbestos mediation to the tune of 200 million. Silverstein made a 4.5 billion dollars profit from insurance claims.

I have studied Dr. Steven Jones work and have come to the conclusion that the estimated Dr. Jones research is of such academic quality that it cannot be ignored, and that it therefore should be addressed in scientific terms. It has clearly NOT been addressed scientifically so far. Why did WTC Tower No. 7 come down is maybe the biggest of the (engineering related) mysteries of that dreadful September 11, 2001. This alone should make it obvious that this tragedy needs to be further investigated, and that the public be presented proper proof for the events, something which I believe is not the case so far.

After viewing the documentary, it is clearly evident that these three buildings did not collapse. Unfortunately, they were deliberately destroyed with almost 3,000 of our neighbors STILL INSIDE THEM. We must learn the truth about who caused this to happen and, if at all possible, why.

I watched on TV live the TT falling and thought to myself during the collapse that - this building doesn't fall this way. I had enough experience even at that time with steel moment frames to realize that they don't pancake from the top down, especially if the assumed failure (the planes heat) point in a 1/3 of the way down. The only way for a building to fall like the TT is if it was a masonry type structure and the upper columns failed first from a heavy roof load. Well, it's not. - - In my opinion IF the heat was sufficient enough to melt the steel at the planes location, the frame would have buckled and the top part of the building would have toppled over. Of course causing damage to the lower part of the structure but not a pancake collapse. Plus - both towers collapsing in the exact same symmetrical pattern - no way.! Also, what about building #7 collapsing the same way when nothing touched it!. Or where is the plane debris a the Pentagon.? - - These building were brought down by design. - - In looking at the impact over time I think the intent was to implement the HomeLand Department, the patriot act and instill a new culture of fear and control.

Upon graduation, I immediately began working as a construction manager in NYC. Over the last 6 years, I have overseen the construction of multiple commercial and residential projects in both the NYC and Philadelphia metro areas. My experience includes work with steel, precast concrete, masonry, timber, and conventional wood framed structures.
I do not accept the official theory that WTC 7 collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint at nearly free fall speed due to structural damage and fires alone. An object falling to earth at free fall speed, by definition, does not encounter resistance along the way. The rigid structure of interconnected columns, beams, and girders provide substantial resistance to physical forces. Indeed, that is their function. This is one of many reasons why I feel a new, independent investigation is necessary. The ramifications from the events of that day are enormous for the people of the world. It is our duty to strive for the truth.

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.

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.

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.

I am a licensed Architect with a Masters Degree from the University of Michigan and a concerned US citizen for the health of our democracy and future of our country.
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.

I received my B Arch degree from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVSAA) in Karachi, Pakistan in 2001. I worked for about a year at a reputable firm before establishing my own practice by the name of 'Apostrophe' in Karachi. I am a consulting editor for Pakistan's pioneer architectural journal, Architimes, and magazine, A+I and have been writing architectural reviews for several years. This year, I have been invited as a member of the Jury at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Barcelona, Spain. I recently did my Masters in Construction and Real Estate Management (ConREM) from HTW, Berlin, Germany (enrollment number s0523652).
I have watched the videos of the collapse of the WTC towers several times and they were quite obviously controlled demolitions. Even if some argument (such as jet fuel) is offered for the collapse of the twin towers, no such argument can be entertained for Building 7, which was never hit.

I received the Master of Architecture degree from the University of Washington in 1981. I apprenticed in several Portland architecture offices, including a branch office of Jones and Jones, designing zoo exhibits for the Oregon Zoo (at that time the Washington Park Zoo). In the early 1990's I became a self-employed residential remodel designer. I now live in Newport, on the Oregon coast.
I have never believed the official story and am especially skeptical about Building #7. Until and unless the facts are allowed to surface about what happened on that day, hope is the greatest casualty of those events.

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.
