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.

When I watched it in 2001, I was a civil engineering student. I was shocked by the collisions, but when the collapse occurred, I saw that I was facing a fraud. I felt lonely and caricatured, even in the academic environment about my extravagant point of view. In 2010 , with YouTube, I became aware of WC7 and looked to see if there were other loners (in that specific point of view) like me. My analogy in 2001 is that the probability of gravitational collapse was the same as the Towers traveling to the moon. Something else had to have happened. Now in 2022, after a similar collapse in São Paulo which I was equally astonished at, as I remembered 9/11, I was inspired to sign. In Brazil a family unit had collapsed in the Wilton Paes de Almeida building, with very similar characteristics and now, watching your video, there is the possibility of using thermite. The church side remained intact and there was no overturning or turning of the structure. Returning, that's how I started to watch your work on YouTube. Importantly, I have never denied the crash of the planes or what happened to the Pentagon. My conclusion was, if there was so much heat to melt steel, how there were living people and glass in the windows, and more frightening, how the steel and every beam or pillar broke horizontally in the same second and the other structures below with microseconds of difference, symmetrically and in perfect structural and chronometric order. So, I don't know what type of explosive they used or what technology was involved. I can only guarantee that a gravitational fall, ordered in time and space, symmetrical, is impossible. Also, I cannot say who is behind the implosion, but certainly, they used a very advanced technology. Without a doubt, it was not caused by the planes or plane fuel, even if the plane was bigger and carried a volcano inside it, it would be impossible to orderly destroy it so symmetrically.

I am college philosophy professor and long time member of 9/11 Truth Seattle. My specialty is the nature of religion, in particular as understood in cognitive terms. So I look at the human brain and the functions religion appears to serve. My conclusion is that religion (generically understood) is the brain's operating system. I did my PhD at Claremont and came to the 9/11 Truth Movement through reading Griffin's New Pearl Harbor. Since I knew him I knew that I had to take the book seriously. Since then I have been active, lectured, help produce events and written on 9/11. I have always been politically active. It is just the profound moral dimension of what 9/11 Truth is about demands a response -- or so I have argued in print. But it is true, I am a 9/11 activist against my will because I feel morally compelled to do something about the monstrous evil imperial America does.
I still can't figure out how any person who gives this any thought at all doesn't see that there big questions and, with investigation, disturbing answers.

"I watched the planes crash on television in our workplace cafeteria. I, along with the other architects and the engineers, were shocked. We all stood around asking ""how was that possible?"" A major building to go down like that is what building demolition experts pray for and often enough, things go wrong. How could the twin towers collapse so 'cleanly' and so precisely? It defies engineering logic."

How did the 3rd building (WTC7) fall? It was not hit by a plane. It had relatively minor fires burning within and its collapse was reported by the BBC approximately 1/2 hour before it fell with a picture of the building in the background of the reporter's reporting of the story. That clip used to be on YouTube before they pulled it off. It fell completely into its own footprint and looks exactly like a controlled demolition. A building is similar to a tree. If you weaken part of it; for example. by chainsawing part of the trunk then it will fall to the ground on an angle. However, if you take it down in a controlled way, by cutting off pieces at a time then it will come down in a controlled fashion. The same thing had to happen with the 2 large towers. The airplane strikes were a foil or a smokescreen for the controlled demolition explosives placed throughout the buildings. If the airplanes were responsible for their destruction then both would have fallen on an angle into the surrounding city blocks. Instead, they came down at near free fall speed into their own footprints.

I have an MBA and work experience in the education, travel, and health care industries and, in fact, was living and working abroad at the time of 9/11. The repercussions of our government's response to 9/11 has been felt worldwide and we have a moral obligation to all affected to uncover the truth regarding 9/11.
For some time I have been aware of the work of AE911 Truth and other organizations calling for an independent commission to investigate what caused the destruction of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC 7, who was responsible, and why. For the sake of the living and the dead, the truth must be known, quoting the words of President Lincoln, ''that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain'that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom'and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'.

All of my research, including at least one thousand hours of reading and educating myself on the destruction of the Towers has led me to believe that they were brought down by controlled demolition. The scientific evidence is clear for all to see, those who wish to look for it.

There are videos available in which eye witnesses describe the lobby of building 7 having been destroyed before 9 am on the morning of 9-11-2001. There are no planes at the Pentagon or Shanksville. 100 story buildings do not self destruct into dust no matter what hits them. Imagine there was no concrete or desks or porcelain bathroom fixtures in the rubble after the towers fell. 9-11 was such a confluence of opportunities it's nearly unimaginable. The buildings needing to be demolished due to antiquated technologies, the purchase of them by Mr. Silverstein. The plans of PNAC to control the Mideast.

I have only a high school diploma, by way of a GED. I've taken a few college courses but never finished. I did manage to complete 6 semesters of electronics, with a 4.0 average and was on the presidents list all 6 semesters. Sadly, my financial situation did not permit me to indulge in education, I had to take care of the bigger things in life like eating, sleeping inside, having clothes, and a car. I was generally earning a meager living so I would not die broke and homeless, which is what I do now, except now I look for work.
I never, for a single second, believed what was said. I suppose we all have a very hard time trying to grasp the reality, the scope of what happened. I knew the whole thing smacked of deceit and trickery. The government counted on the confusion/horror/sorrow of all Americans to enable it to push their agenda. What person would even want to secretly, even if only to their own selves, admit that they thought that this was done by our own, to our own. As a nation we were raised to think that to have thoughts like that were unpatriotic even treasonous. This is what they counted on....how morbid that they knew the entire world would be in shock and that they could use that to propagate the hoax.

There have been too many investigations and allegations by independents that conflict with the reports given to us by the US Government and the Commission Reports. The United States Government is withholding vital information from public eyes. The real perpetrators of this crime should be sent to trial and judged fairly as this is the American way.

There is no doubt in my mind the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by interests in addition to those of Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden - by the facilitation, inspiration and cooperation of those in the highest levels of our own federal government. This travesty also transcends political party lines because both the Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the cover-up by allowing the tail to wag the dog while allowing lies to be told without a just and fair inquiry into the events surrounding 9/11, including a tremendous body of evidence which indicates without a shadow of a doubt that WTC buildings were indeed demolished by explosives. An excellent resource is David Ray Griffin's 9/11 Commission Report Omissions and Distortions. These people who masterminded this attack are masters of deception but the light will always overcome the darkness.

The way Towers One and Two turned to dust as they fell, more or less into their footprints, was indicative of controlled demolition, as was WTC Building Seven's collapse. Even many firefighters said they heard explosions inside the buildings before and during their collapse.

I have been and continue to be closely involved with the building of structures of all types and method including high rise buildings and steel frame buildings.
I know that fireproofing cannot 'blow off' as our government scientists suggest and in point of fact requires a concerted effort with steel edged tools to remove, it becomes very hard and very attached to the steel. Furthermore, molten steel was discovered and we know that the temps required to melt steel cannot be achieved in the burning of office furnishings. Sincerely, Gregory Hill

Having a background in Engineering and Physics I have concluded that the World Trade Towers 1 and 2 collapsed on 9-11-2001 were somehow assisted with explosives. AE for 9-11 Truth took the guesswork or any remaining questions after watching Explosive Evidence. It was 4 years after I heard about about Tower 7's collapse in the afternoon. Why was this information withheld by the major media? Clearly this building shows signs of demolition, free fall. Thank you Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth for presenting the facts.

I have been skeptical about the conclusions regarding 9/11 since the event took place. I studied CADD and physics, and later worked as a machine programmer, and was additionally the lead designer for building and department layout.
The collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7 has been, and will continue to be, a perfect example of controlled demolition. I am not a demolitions expert, but based on the evidence I have seen, and my education, I can say that there is no way these buildings could have come down by any other means.
