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 graduated architecture school two years ago, and started my own practice 4 months before graduating. I follow my instinct on everything, and August 13th, 1999 changed my life forever!
After I saw the second building fall, I instinctively wanted to know where George W. Bush was and I wanted to see his face. I didn't buy the Oklahoma bombing under Clinton or the first World Trade Center bombings, and I wasn't buying this either. I felt that Bush's face and his reaction would be very telling; I was right! He was overly nonchalant, after being told, and went on to say that he saw the first plane hit while he was waiting in his limo; that footage hadn't even aired yet, to the public. And when i saw that he was told at an elementary school setting, about the plane hitting the World Trade Center, it made me suspicious. It felt like an overly innocent setting. It wouldn't be until I found out that George W. Bush, Laura Bush and General Tommy Franks went to elementary school together; that the elementary school setting felt like a creepy homage. And when I saw a video-tape of a former CIA agent, turned whistleblower, that spoke at Portland State University 1-1/2 months after 9-11, there was no turning back, in my mind, that it was an inside job. He started out by saying that while the planes may have been remotely controlled, he wasn't going to talk about that. He was going to stick to what he could prove as fact; his presentation was convincing, even without demonstrating that the planes were remotely controlled. I got cable earlier this year, and started seeing exceptional documentaries, which showed 9-11 for what it was. Now, I don't doubt that those planes were remotely controlled. Especially after hearing from those like William Rodriguez, who heard explosions in the basement floors 7 seconds before the first plane hit. 7 seconds! That's exceptional timing. And to know that citizens who saw the planes before they hit, say that they didn't recognize the planes as passenger planes, but rather, as windowless commercial-type planes. I'm so happy that architects and engineers are finally speaking out!

Graduated Cum Laude from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Studies. After leaving school, I obtained work at a large (more than 50 employee) architectural design firm in Seattle, primarily doing retail work. I have logged 3600 hours of NCARB approved IDP credits and recently, as of 22/2/2010, requested my NCARB record be sent so I may begin taking the ARE - exams to become a licensed Architect in the state of Washington.
There is an obvious doubt to the way in which (and the speed in which) the two towers collapsed. To a lay person it may be a second thought and an issue for an expert. Well, here are the experts, the professionals, who look at what happened and say, The official investigation just does not add up. If you have over 1,000 professionals, people deemed by their respective states to be competent enough to design structures - to be THE licensed authority on such matters, deem the official investigation to be incomplete or incorrect - shouldn't we listen?

I have had 2 years of college level physics while studying to work in the printing and publishing industry, which I had worked in for 20 years. Although that's not a lot, it has provided me with enough knowledge of physics to follow and understand your presentations. I am currently self-employed as a music/graphics teacher in NYC.
I, like many others, didn't really concern myself too much with 9/11 until I discovered the truth about a year ago. I stumbled upon an A&E 9/11 Truth video about thermite that changed my world. After jumping into the research ocean with both feet, I firmly believe that the official explanation of what happened on 9/11 could not possibly be accurate. I believe, from looking at a lot of evidence (special thanks to your website), that all 3 WTC collapses were caused by controlled demolition. I believe the airplanes flown into WTC 1 & 2 were meant to be seen as a powerful enough catalyst to bring on the total collapse of the towers. Although flying an airplane into the side of a building can do some harm, I don't feel the heat or damage would be enough to bring the towers down the way they fell. As far as Building 7 goes, a straight-down, symmetrical collapse at free-fall speed into it's own footprint for no real apparent reason can, in my opinion, only mean one thing; they had the cream-of-the-crop demolition experts at their disposal.

I have an Associates degree from Mt. San Antonio College.
I concur with the statements in the film made by architects and engineers. Never has 9/11 seemed to me to be anything but planned. And it was very strategic planning which created a distraction or delay for other events. I always wondered how the structures were able to fall straight down as they did without support from explosives like professional demolitions.

Originally from Iran, I've been working as a freelance volunteer and traveling architect, planner, and designer since 1990. I've been as far as India, the middle-east region (UAE, Dubai), Iran, Africa, The Lakota nation of South Dakota, and Irvine of Orange County, USA. My 1979 H.S. diploma in Burlingame of Bay area, from Field-Moore Academy (mathematics), 1980-81, Rio Honda community college (computer software), 1981-87 University of Nebraska at Lincoln (Bachelor of Architecture, completed / masters in CRP, not completed) My very last AIA international associate position as both the client as well as the firm representative and project coordinator with former famed Hollywood actor Mr Russell Means of the Lakota nation of South Dakota and the Coop Himmel-Blau architecture firm.
At the time of the attack, I was in my Tehran, Iran office which our time zone was between 10-11pm working on my soon to be due submission for a Church design for the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church here in Irvine, CA. My UAE partner, Dr. Paxima, was visiting me pertaining his theme vacation destination, including Las Vegas style private resorts, for the first time ever in any Arab nation, specifically for Hollywood actors and actresses. My firm was hired by him to design and develop it. All of a suddenly I received a txt message from another partner of mine saying that if we had access to a high speed Internet, after saying yes, then he told us to go to cnn.com and check out what's being reported. Once at cnn.com, we were watching the first tower smoke raising from it, and we're in shock, however at first I thought it was a preview for an upcoming Hollywood movie premier, until the second airplane ran into the second tower. Now I have been traveling in and out of USA twice a year at least and almost every time coming in, I would stay with our family member, who is a Jewish Navy Lawyer living in the Flat Iron bldg, whose mother in law was visiting them, when the first explosion happened in the basement of one of the towers. I couldn't believe what I was seeing was true, so tragic. I was even very naively telling myself that how much more dumb was the second pilot who could not see such humongous bldgs in the world and followed the first pilot unintentionally!!! Then I remembered my cousin so I called him to see if they were okay and that if they also knew about what was really going on as to whether the whole thing was for real or a sick joke hoax. After many tries of calling with my international calling card, they would not respond so I decided to email them, which in my utmost unbelief, he acknowledged that the news was unfortunately 100% tragically absolutely true and not fake. And that's when it really hit all of us in Iran.

There are powerful interests who do not want the facts of 9/11 known or it would have been investigated as a crime immediately. The challenge will be finding an investigator fearless enough to go wherever the facts lead, but if there is such a person in the US, he or she would never be appointed to lead an investigation of 9/11. Therefore it's equally or maybe even more important to uncover the facts and publicize them, as AE911truth.org is doing. That needs to happen before 9/11 goes down the memory hole.

I took my degree in architecture from 1987 - 92 (5 years degree). Immediately after, I worked at an architectural office in Lisbon but quickly found my happiness working for myself, which I have been doing since 1997.
The WTC destruction, or better yet, controlled demolition and faking of a terrorist attack is the most blatant crime I can remember in my 50 years of life. I believe that if the truth is to be uncovered, it will be a decisive turning point in the way things work. I really am hoping for a quick resolution to this disgraceful situation so as to: give some sense of justice (if possible) to the victims families and to bring the real criminals to justice, signaling to all others that the days of impunity are over. This will be an hugely important precedent to change the derailed and asphyxiated American justice system.

The video evidence clearly and forthrightly shows explosive ejections far below the zone of visible collapse on all three buildings. This, for me, is sufficient to investigate in excruciating detail, the actual causes of the collapse. Steel does not fail in this manner. The evidence collected thus far is conclusive in my mind that the towers, which were designed to withstand the impact of a jetliner, did not fail from the impact of the airplanes or the subsequent fire.

I have not ever seen such a false reporting of how a jet fuel fire from a plane crash into the steel WTC buildings (designed to withstand such an unlikely plane crash) would create such a calamitous structural failure / collapse. Any professional that understands how a building of such height and built in safety features is designed to stand, knows this was a demolition.

The media & government cover up of the event is obviously done to cover up & hide what really happened. The way Bush so purposefully did all possible to prevent a real investigation is more evidence of their attempts to keep people from real discovery. - - This event is so much like how they planned the Pearl Harbor attack to get us into a war or like the Gulf of Tonkin. - - The purpose also appears to have been to create a more tyrannical control over the American citizens -- to see how they rammed thru the Patriot Act & other insidious legislation has had horrific consequences to our human rights.

I became a degreed architect in 1997 and worked as an employed architect for a well-respected architectural office in Munich. Since 2003, I am self-reliant with my architecture office, traded as a limited liability company. My office is essentially acting in residental constructions (design, planning, and realizing).
How the three WTCs collapsed (symmetrical free fall, missing big mountains of building rubble etc.) OBVIOUSLY doesn't comply with the official statement (NIST). Open your eyes, switch on your sanity, reason and think about the simplest fundamental principles of construction and you can't believe that the official version still can remain stable.

Our government's refusal to cooperate with American professionals, working with the limited evidence left available, to find out precisely and correctly how these buildings failed to withstand a simple aircraft strike (in 2 of the 3 cases), which Code and plans inspection say they should have, as designed by IAW applicable Codes, is a troubling revelation. Politics may have played a part somehow, but that is not the subject nor in the scope of the professional review these experts and witnesses are providing simply to lend more insight as to how those events of structural failure actually could have occurred. One always knows something is not right when it is intentionally being kept out of public view and discussion behind the rubric of 'It's classified''. But why? Inquiring minds want to know facts, not half-truths and evasions, which we are increasingly seeing as a basic part of the way the government treats the governed, for its own private purposes.

No Architect or Engineer can observe, with an open mind, the video recordings of the collapse of 7 WTC or the twin towers without realizing these were clearly controlled demolition events, even without digging further into the illogic of the official report, the many inconsistencies, and the continuing resistance to a fair and public reevaluation of the physics and evidence. That this has not happened, and the fact that educated and reasonable people shy away from a discussion of the subject, is a reflection of how disturbing the implications must be for finding the official narrative false. Yet we can never move on until we find and face the truth. Thanks to Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth for persevering in this essential effort.

I have sufficient doubt about the official narrative to justify re-opening the 9/11 investigation.

I opened the doors to Catalyst Architecture in September of 2003, providing high-performance design with an emphasis on caring client relationships. With over 20 years of experience in sustainable planning and design, I was the first architect in Yavapai County to be awarded the USGBC's LEED professional accreditation. My firm has produced Silver, Gold, and Platinum level LEED accredited buildings across the US over the past 15 years. Academically, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1980, and then a Masters of Architecture in Urban Design from the University of Texas at Austin in 1985.
It's time for the REAL truth about what took place on (and in the months leading up to) 9/11 to be known by all.

Nothing about the way all the buildings fell makes any sense. Steel Buildings cannot pancake. They would twist and turn as the steel melted.

After reviewing the evidence and given my experience, I agree that the report issued by FEMA is grossly inaccurate and the towers collapse was due to a controlled demolition using highly incendiary military grade explosives in a controlled demolition.
