Re; 9-11 � Did fires or Explosives Cause the Collapse of the World Trade Towers ?

Dear President Steidl:

The primary duty of registered professionals is to protect the public safety.

Professionals intelligence, knowledge and experience provide a delicate connection
between science and fact.

As I have written you and others here mentioned many times before, I pray, in the
spirit of the season, you may consider this important subject which I am sending
to all your state chapters and others listed.

9-11 was a tragic event for our country, quickly �solved� by our government and
propagated by our media, leading our country into fear, anguish, anger, war and
unrestrained spending.
Have we, as building professionals, been hoodwinked ? Who should better
understand the collapse of the World Trade Towers than those in our profession,
possibly with the consultation of demolition experts ?

As I and millions have reviewed the events of that day, it seems much of the cover
story is not true and impossible. As the nation is confused on the reality of that
day, have we been making bad decisions ever since.
My web site collects salient information that isolates the demise of the World
Trade Towers � linking many experienced, dedicated and articulate technical
analysis that show clearly that the World Trade Towers were destroyed by internal
explosives and not �fires from the airlines.�
If anyone can prove that explosives were not used, they can win a $ 1 million
reward from the ReOpen911.org site. See details on their site. None have been so
proven.

We are citizens of our great Republic. As we ignore this issue and accept the
false finding, our whole country and world spiral out of control to follow and
support horrendous, inappropriate actions : Patriot Act, Homeland Security,
endless War � founded on unexamined, probably false, hoaxed premises.

I pray that you and the AIA, with your vast knowledge and resources give this
subject serious study and hopefully bring to the attention of the public, the
nation, our leaders, the truth of the World Trade Tower collapse. These widely
publicized reports; The 9-11 Commission Report, NIST WTC Collapse, a �paid�
report, which, I believe, exclude consideration of many important factors, as
shown in this letter.
At the 911Mysteries.com web site, you can view on line and or purchase DVDs that
show a clear and thorough case for proof that the World Trade Towers were
destroyed by internal explosives.

Once started, the WTC fell at near free fall speed. How can such a collapse
pulverize concrete and steel so quickly as if they were turned into water, such as
a controlled demolition ?
Never before has a collapse dissolved an entire building into a fine dust !
I have done all I can to establish first hand involvement. I�ve personally met
and talked with many key witnesses like William Rodriguez, who was honored by
President Bush and NY Governor George Pataki as a national hero for saving lives
since he was the last man out of the WTC. The 9-11 Commission interviewed him
privately and will not print his testimony. He has spoken to world leaders and
~500 million � thru radio and TV � worldwide who want to know the truth, but is
censured in America. He and hundreds of firemen and on site reporters reported
seeing and hearing the numerous explosions in the WTC buildings prior to their
collapse. I�ve confirmed these facts with Morgan Reynolds and talked with and
joined Scholar for 9-11 with James Fetzer and Steven Jones, Brigham Young
University.

My web site www.abodia.com/911 gives more information and links you to many other
important, precise, clear and articulate facts on this subject.

If anyone can prove that explosives and / or exotic weapons did not destroy the
World Trade Center on 9-11, they can win $ 1 million reward, offered by
www.ReOpen911.com. Check the terms with them.

There are many DVD�s and reports that cover this subject, some of the best are
linked form my web site. Jimmy Walters, ReOpen911.org has spent millions and
giving DVDs to Fire Chiefs and officials to get N.Y.C. and the nation to Wake Up
and examine the obvious evidence.

I have contacted you and many here listed on previous occasions who don�t seem to
realize that hiding these facts nullifies the conclusions that have warped /
transformed our country. ReOpen 9-11.com wants to investigate the real events of
9-11 which are very different from the generally accepted official �Cover Story�
promoted by government and media. Millions of Americans are aware of a probable
great deception as evident thru the internet.

Here is an overview of many important facts:

Many factors suggest World Trade Towers were destroyed by internal explosives on
9-11
(charges set in buildings in advance)
all concrete was reduced to dust (never in a collapse before)
WTC 1, 2 and 7, fell in less than 10 seconds,
explosions at the basement of the WTC were heard and felt before the building
fell
explosions in near buildings were seen before and or unrelated to the planes
hitting the WTC.
 many explosions and flashes were observed by hundreds of witnesses, news casters,
47 fire men.
molten steel was found under the rubble 6 weeks after the WTC were down, even
though they were watered daily to keep dust down.
only internal explosives could have created this intense heat, also observed in
NASA satellite photos.
thermate was found on WTC samples.
the large dust cloud demonstrates a pyroclastic flow of super heated materials in
fine particles moving a high speed thru NYC streets and nearly across the river,
like the debris from volcano, not fire and collapse.
roof 100' antenna collapsed before the building fell indicating the building
core, the strongest part with the least combustible material fell first. That
core was hermitically sealed to prevent the circulation of oxygen and spread of
fire
FEMA and NIST report agreed that the jet fuel kerosene would have burned off in a
few minutes, leaving only the building contents to burn
on a floor or two. Burning building contents don�t produce the high heat
necessary to weaken the massive steel girders of the core.
The NIST $ 20 million report and the FEMA Report on the WTC Collapse DO NOT
INCLUDE or discuss these obvious facts, which contradict their findings and
report.

After hundreds of hours of research, and thousands of dollars purchasing materials

and information, this letter outlines my most salient, articulate examples of
things that architects should investigate. If I err slightly in any single item,
that does not discount this letter. On the contrary, even if only part of these
accusations are true, they should be investigated. I have never been involved in
a project of this nature before. Initially, I was shocked, depressed, and angered
as these truths surfaced. But I have not shied away from my responsibility to
alert others. For decades, I have relied on authorities. In this case, when I
examine the evidence, it seems so distant form the evidence that the authorities
are examining, I think that we have to speak up, call for an accounting. This
effects us each personally, and millions of others as well.

I�d like to thank the following people who have necessitated that I distribute
this letter. I have contacted them numerous times over the last year, offering
facts, DVD presentations, personal meetings, and / or inviting them to numerous
public presentations around the state.
They have consistently absolutely ignored my communication, without even
acknowledging receiving them, least addressing these issues. A brief list
includes: West Virginia�s United States Senators and Representatives,
W. Va. officials; Governor, legislators, local mayors, local new media. Also
these W. Va. professional organizations; W.Va. Soc. of Architects � President,
Administrator & others, W. Va. Board of Architects.

I was a classmate with Douglas Steidl, AIA President, studying Architecture at

Carnegie Mellon University.
What an incredible legacy, the AIA, he is leading.
God Bless you, the AIA - in all ways.

Please respond to me directly, and progressively, with copies to your

constituents, as to how you and your organization will take research action on
this extremely important issue.

I don't want a simple answer like, "others like the 9-11 Commission, FEMA, NIST
and various studies have done the work. I do not believe they have dealt with the
hard issues, the hidden facts.
