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.

One of my hobbies is explosives and demolition. When I watched the Towers come down and then Building 7, I knew that this was a controlled demolition, not the airplanes and the fire. I have read many accounts of the attack and theories of the causes and the official story is full of holes. The Pentagon attack also looks fishy since the side of the building hit was relatively empty and the hole in the wall doesn't look right for an airplane strike.

The destruction of the Twin Towers that morning reminded me of an overly-exaggerated Hollywood action movie explosion. The early explanation for what caused what I was seeing did not make any sense based on physics and my studies in structural analysis. I kept watching the news for more information throughout the day until I saw the demolition of WTC 7 live and then knew for sure that there was more to who was behind the attack than what the media was telling us. After much rationalizing it took me til the summer of '02 to conclude that domestic involvement had a hand in the events that took place.

Since the Oklahoma bombing I lost faith in getting the truth from nat'l. media and our gov. I felt strongly when the WTC fell that it was impossible (and argued with colleagues for years), with my knowledge/ understanding of alloy and structural steels. Then heard later another building fell but no one talked about it... Why? Then the Pentagon and PA... TV reports explained the alloy steel and titanium in landing gear and jet engines vaporized because they hit so hard... Bull, these metals do not vaporize no matter they were traveling at 500mph or 1000mph... So, where are they? No one answers... Letters to congressman and the local TV investigators gets you no response or something unrelated..... why? I'm glad someone has put this site together, finally, people who see the same things I've seen and been scorned for all these years.

As a Engineer I know that the right amount of energy would have been needed to cause the towers to fall at the speed and symmetry in which they fell on 9/11/01. As I learned in school and in the industry about Material Science that for the towers to fall, the steel in the towers needed to reach their yielding load before reaching their tensile capacity and then they could finally fail..I hope that a new investigation addresses these basic concepts!

There is simply no way the heavy box-section columns would have allowed any building to disintegrate without heavy use of explosives. Even if fire softened the columns, there would have been some bending, not disintegration. And of course the demolition of building 7 totally demolishes the official story!

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.

it doesn't take an engineer to see that the WTC buildings were obviously demolished by pre planted explosives.

If a collapse is properly and independently investigated, I have never witnessed such disagreement afterwards. That only happens if desires of a certain outcome influence the report. This collapse is just to important not to have it independently analyzed, and I am confident that if that happens almost every engineer will be convinced by its findings, contrary of what is happening now.

I am 100% sure that we the people have been lied to concerning the official story of 9/11. I appreciate all of the work done by the groups pushing for a new investigation.

I'm a 49 year old man. Single father of 2. I'm the plant supervisor at a cryogenic grinding company. I'm worried about my family's future. I always tell them to be proud to be an American and that we live in the safest place in the world. The more I learn the facts about the Towers the more I understand I'm being lied to. How do I tell them I might have been wrong? I just want the truth. no matter how bad it is.
Ive got to admit l'd forgotten about 9/11. Mainly because of all the silly conspiracy theories. The PBS documentary definitely moved me and got my attention. Laws of physics don't lie. Then I learn NIST never tested for explosives. WHAT?!?! Our government needs to do a real scientific investigation. Because the more I read these reports the more ridiculous they look. All we can do is spread the word about these facts. I have surprised a lot of people with the things they didn't know about steel structured buildings. WTC 7 drops in 6.6 seconds? I bet there is demolition company's that couldn't drop it that fast. Who needs demolition crews away, NIST claims all you need is a match.

My knowledge of 9/11 has been gained only recently. I have a science background, not technical, but I am fairly convinced of the rationale of the 'inside job' theory based on the data presented by A & E.
The story told by mainstream media conflicts with actual footage of the destruction (bldg 7).

It's time for justice for the murders of innocent citizens. Those responsible need to be exposed and prosecuted by the USDoJ. We need accountability within our law enforcement and elected officials. Having a badge or holding an office grants you no special privileges. I am disgusted with the media, governmental agencies for thinking the public is stupid enough to believe that terrorists managed to cause 3 structurally sound buildings to collapse. It's a sad day in the U.S and we demand an unbiased and unmolested investigation into what really happened.

I am an honor student in high school. My Dad convinced me to watch your videos. My Dad tells me to trust our government, but after watching your video he has changed his outlook on America, and so have I.
At the time I was too young to understand, but I know how it troubled both my Mom and Dad. After I watched a PBS video I started to see the facts.

I have a bachelor's degree in art history. I have been working for a global consulting firm since 2006. I specialize in forensic accounting, international fraud investigations and corporate bankruptcy.
It is my position that the skyscrapers were destroyed by controlled demolition. It is my position that no conventional aircraft, passenger or otherwise, were involved in the destruction of the buildings. I do not accept the video footage made available to the public to be accurate representations of the events. I am in support of initiating a new investigation, which will include the right to inspect the surviving debris. I am in support of the determination of the reason for the destruction that is consistent with the laws of physics.

Third level ed. +. I do not wish to appear to brag about what I consider to be a basic liberal arts education.
Having read Prof. Neils Herrit et al.'s paper and studied video footage taken on the day, followed Mr. Chandler's mathematically founded reasoning and having seen NIST not finding evidence of explosives for which they did not look, I consider that an independent open minded investigation of the cause of the collapses is the minimum that the citizens of the non-US world are due - particularly so given that U.S.A. foreign policy after 911 was based on the 'War on Terror'!!!

Plumber/Construction worker - first hand experience with builders, owners, contractors trying to ignore costs and health issues with removing asbestos. If they can get away with not paying for asbestos removal they will attempt it. Workers risking their health is irrelevant - workers are their to be used and abused and disposed of like cattle for the evil greedy rich.
When I learned that the owner of the Towers and Building 7 was avoiding removing asbestos and collecting on insurance, my question as to why would the buildings come down if the planes didn't cause it. Why? Insurance fraud, asbestos. Now it made sense why they would come down - now there is a reason, no mystery - it's clear, it's crime. It's greed profit. Insurance fraud and fake war on terror to mask Cheney/Bush family private pirate raids for oil in other countries.

What they tell us is obviously not true, and, they abuse the fear created that day to start wars under false pretense. They even enforce laws taking away basic human rights. This is not right and would never have happened if the general public knew the truth. Lets hope some of the horrible things following out of 9/11 can be undone.
