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.

At 1.8 million square feet, WTC 7 was possibly larger than any building on the West Coast. Bank of America (1.4 million sf) and the Transamerica Pyramid (.5 million sf), the two highest buildings in San Francisco, are together only slightly greater in area. Few Americans know that WTC 7 collapsed, even fewer know how big it was. I have read that its collapse was shown only one time on television; in its documentaries about the WTC collapse, PBS not only didn't explain the collapse of WTC7 but never even mentioned the collapse of a third building, because doing so would have undermined their conclusion that planes and jet fuel were responsible for the collapses. Much evidence exists of explosions throughout the WTC buildings. Persistent pools of 2000 degree metal can only be explained by the presence of thermite/thermate, used in planned demolitions. Squibs, puffs of smoke characteristic of planned demolitions, can be clearly seen in advance of the collapses. The official story does not explain the collapse of WTC7 or the collapse of the cores of WTC 1 and 2. YouTube videos of a BBC reporter announcing the collapse of WTC7 just prior to its actual collapse is convincing proof that the authorities had advance knowledge of its imminent collapse. There is just one explanation for the evidence associated with these collapses: demolition by expertly planned and placed explosives.

All the evidence needs to be looked at because the 'official' explanation doesn't fit the free fall of building 7 and the near free fall of towers 1 and 2. Why was there little or no structural resistance from the lower floors when the buildings came down?

I have been in the Mechanical Engineering field for over 25 years and have a strong working knowledge of structural mechanics and physics.
It is very obvious from the data collected that these buildings were taken down by controlled demolition. The highlights include the near free fall velocity at which they fell, the periodic lateral explosions that preceded the fall of each zone, the manner of collapse, and the evidence of thermite in the rubble.

I have a high school education and I'm a hairdresser. I'm a social and political activist and have been for many years. My experience is that I'm a very informed citizen, and I know my government's history of false flag operations, and I've been saying since this happened that if nothing else, Building 7 was not hit by a plane and should never have collapsed. You don't need to be an engineer to see this.
I don't know exactly who was involved but a real investigation needs to take place. We may never know who participated, but an investigation still needs to be conducted. We owe it to not only the people in the towers that were killed, but the families and all the innocent Afghans and Iraqis that have been murdered in our drummed up retaliation to this crime.

The biggest problem for this very honorable organization is that most people cannot conceive that the controllers of world governments could perpetrate such an horrendous attack on innocent people. Well, in my very carefully considered opinion they did and this then proves that they are capable of anything. Hopefully good will eventually prevail.

I went to two years of college.I have training in performance and visual arts.I have managed,taught and performed at my own performance and visual art space for 26 years.
From the moment I saw the video of the two towers' collapse which was about a half hour after the actual event I was surprised and shocked that it actually occurred. My gut reaction was that they shouldn't have collapsed at all.Then when WTC7 imploded I knew something was terribly wrong with the official narrative that was already beginning to be developed and shown on the TV.I am deeply saddened and appalled that the absurd myth of the 19 hijackers has been given such unquestioned credibility by the mainstream press and even progressive leaning alternative media. It was the defining moment of the century so far for the U. S. and the rest of the globe and it is the mother of all lies! Hitler would have been very impressed.

100% controlled demolition. They had to take out all core columns at precisely the same time to have that building collapse like it did, common sense really.

One year of college. Thirty years plus in the work force.
The morning of seeing the television coverage I spoke aloud immediately to co-workers in the room re plane hitting building ''that was a demolition'' and stand by my initial instinct (a/k/a inner wisdom) to this day. Although none of my co-workers agreed and I was ostracized for my belief, I yet stand firm in my initial instinctive knowledge. I saw a demolition of buildings when I saw the television coverage.

I am well respected in my community in both business and personal sectors. Happy to provide my Resume of education and work experience if required.
One thing I am not is a Conspiracy Theorist. What I am is a realist, and we, as a 'World community need to know the truth about 'What Happened' before we can start to look at the 'Who' and then 'Why'. What I see is overwhelming physical, photographic, and eye-witness evidence that I feel proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the N.I.S.T. Report is Incorrect, and that a full independent enquiry be carried out. My eyes are my judge, and the evidence is the evidence.

I am well read and I am awake. I will retain my commitment to the truth no matter the resistance of any party public or private, for that I am responsible.
I want the truth to be made public officially by the United States government and the perpetrators publically charged, prosecuted and made to pay the price of their treasonous activities. Murder is punished by death in most states of this federation. I do not believe in state sanctioned murder in any form, even as punishment for this heinous crime against humanity. Poverty, persecution, hunger, deprivation, isolation and disenfranchisement for life should be their punishment.

When I first saw the events regarding the Towers in New York City on the news in Russia, I questioned to myself 'How can such large and tall buildings fall so easily'. I would like to see an investigation so that the guilty are brought to justice.

There are too many unanswered questions, too many concealed and ignored facts.This never couln't be done by 19 Arabs, not even with the help of Osama bin Laden. The credibility of the government is at risk. Not even the government, but this NIST investigation causes harm to the US basic law.

I am an educated woman in my late 20's. I work in the insurance field and I have a husband who is a Chemist. Both of us share the same views on the investigation and think the public deserves an open forum in which to be presented the evidence by reputable individuals.
I wish it didn't come down to what the official word is versus my common sense as a human being, but not unlike you folks, I cannot look at the evidence and even begin to believe the story we were given. The investigation performed by the government elected team was a mockery to the people who lost their lives that day and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. There were no common criminal investigation procedures accounted for... the dog did not bark because the criminal was its master.
