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.

People who accept the official conspiracy theory can argue that the twin towers had significant structural damage due to the impact of the aircraft, however no such significant damage was sustained by building #7. The controlled demolition of building #7 is the undeniable evidence that the attacks of September 11 2001 were the result of an inside job. The video record clearly shows the very top portion of building # 7 cave in despite the fact that the small fires many attribute as the cause of the collapse were many many floors below.

Too many things don't add up. While the hijacking of the aircraft was an excellent diversion and 'excuse' for what happened, the actual explosions and their results are not consistent with what could have happened with the aircraft alone. There is evidence of structural damage that preceeded the aircraft impacts (never explained) and the impact at the Pentagon is not consistent with the aircraft that struck there.

In the beginning I believed the official story. But after the shock wore off, I found I could not forget the way the buildings fell. The debris was not consistent with a normal building collapse. Eye witnesses heard explosions, and the collapse of all three buildings had more resemblance to a controlled demolition than an unplanned structural failure. I have read many points of view on the matter and can no longer agree with the official story.

Responsible for the Manufacture of the OSO-2 Satellite. It was so reliable it functioned for 6 years past the 6 month specification. Responsible for the Reliability and Availability of IBM's GPD products from 1966 thru 1998.
I am familiar with explosions and their debris fields, being involved with 2 Titan Missile explosions. From the evidence available regarding the 9/11 twin towers, it is my expert opinion that a fully funded investigation of all the evidence should be opened. There was a total destruction of 3 buildings in an explosive manner, as seen in the videos. We need to determine possible causes other than just the impact of 2 aircraft flying into the buildings. I also believe that a chemical reaction was required to melt steel, and note that traces of explosive chemicals have been found in the debris field.

I am a very open minded young man who just wants the truth revealed. There are too many holes in this story for me to just believe what I'm told. I am a senior in high school getting ready to go to college, and in my lifetime I would love to see the truth revealed! I also work a full time job at a restaurant.
Never in history have skyscrapers of that height fallen due to fires. Even with jet fuel burning inside, there is no possible way that these three Towers fell without any sort of demolition. Building 7 is definitely proof of a demolition.

No plane ever knocked down a sky scraper. No office fire or kerosine (jet fuel) fire ever burned hot enough to melt steel. What really happened? Then Building 7 fell down all by itself. What really happened?

The visual evidence and analysis presented by the members of AE911Truth lead me to believe that all three Towers of the former World Trade Center collapsed into rubble on September 11, 2001 for reasons other than those described in the US Government's official account of the event. I support their petition to re-open the investigation that the American people may learn the real cause(s) for the collapse of those structures and the true perpetrators behind the crimes committed.

The only formal education I have is grade school, however being in the audio visual industry I have had the opportunity to sit in many meetings and conferences of various topics which were typically attended by the tops in their fields. I spend a lot of time conducting research on the internet and learning what is needed to understand that research. I have spent the better part of 5 years going through the available data with regards to the attacks on 9-11.
While I cannot say with confidence whom is specifically responsible for the planning and execution of the attack on 9-11, I can definitely say that all three buildings were ultimately brought down with explosives. This is supported by several factors including, but not limited to the following...1. All three buildings came straight down at or close to free fall speeds with little to no resistance. 2. The planes that hit both Towers One and Two, did so at different angles yet they both fell in an almost identical fashion. 3. Eye witness statements of hearing explosions on the lower levels between the time the planes hit and the Towers came down. 4. Visual indicators such as a molten substance pouring from one building as well as puffs of smoke being emitted from the first Tower at the same time as the second Tower was attacked. This occurs prior to visual of the explosion entering the frame.

Obviously the World Trade Center Towers were razed through a controlled demolition. The US government's explanation for the reason the towers came down is a sham.

I grew-up in France until I was 8 years old, then in Iraq from 9 years old to 17 years old where I discovered war and atrocities. Countries from where I've traveled a lot are Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait etc. Still open on the world and interested in many subjects.
I grew up in a war country... How could I believe in 9/11? How could I believe that the army of the USA could let some planes attack the Towers? I've doubted till I saw the first pictures on TV and more again after all the lies that I've heard about it. I've never believed in propaganda since the war between Iran and Iraq and I'm searching on the net all information that I need to understand the NWO which is for me the 4th Reich...My father was working in a building company and he could not approved the way the Towers collapse...

The official explanation of what happened to the Twin Towers defies much of what we know about Newtonian Physics. It is, quite plainly, outside the realm of possibilities for this to have happened as currently maintained. Therefore, another explanation must exist.

Tertiary educated. Far from silly. Wise to the ploys of government and media.
It is obvious all the evidence was destroyed and no criminal investigation was even started when this happened. Three buildings fall down on one day and the builders aren't even brought to task? Come on. Gimme a break! Stop protecting the real perpetrators.

I will never forget getting up to everyone gathered at the TV looking at the smoking tower on the news that morning. They called off classes at the place I was staying. The fear that ensued and the panic and insecurity it caused the public and everyone i knew. I'd seen Michael Moore's Farenheit 9-11 but what convinced me was the evidence based documentary i saw on Hulu. I believe that only when the case of building 7 is reopened and re-examined by an independent entity and the real truth comes into the public forum will there be finally begin to be a healing for the American people and Veterans. Only when the real truth comes out made aware of the facts can there finally be any type of justice although it will likely rock the political and justice system possibly to the point of something never before experienced in this country.

I have been deeply troubled by the flaws in the 9/11 investigation and the refusal of our elected officials to recognize the need for a new study done by reputable professionals without any political restraints. Equally troubling is the refusal of the corporately controlled media in this country to adhere to their obligation to seek out and report the truth.

As a medical professional, I have enough education in the sciences to place more trust in the explanations offered by the engineers on your videos as well as sufficient doubt in the absence of evidence offered by the 'official' panel of 'experts' to support the creation of an objective panel to investigate the events of 9/11.
Everything I know about 9/11 is second-hand. At the least the official version stretches the bounds of credulity and would be an example of gross incompetence by professions that have proven themselves highly competent or there is a darker explanation that someone has attempted to cover up with a fair amount of success. We should always do our best to discover the truth otherwise we are all just 'storytellers'.

Steel does not turn to dust and crumble to nothing in freefall speed without any resistance so it's clear to me that all 3 towers had 'help' to collapse the way they did.
