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.

I just watched the DVD on this collapse. I previously missed a lot of this evidence, even though shown by other outlets, due to the emotional impact of the collapse. This description provided by AE911Truth clearly casts doubts on the official cause of the collapse. After watching this evidence I too wonder how an airplane could take down the building from the top without help from inside.

I'm a civil engineer and project manager for the FAA. I have 25 years experience building National Airspace System critical facilities, including the construction of air traffic control towers.
I have serious doubts about the cause of collapse of WTC 1 and WTC 2, as well as WTC 7. The indications are that they came down in a controlled-collapse manner, and this casts a dark shadow over the official published story. I have worked on projects involving controlled demolitions of decommissioned air traffic control towers. My opinion is that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition, contrary to the official story.

I remember pretty clearly what I saw on 9/11, even if 18 years have passed by and I was only 16 years old at the moment. What I saw that day it was incredible to me, out of rational facts. Not only the impact of the planes and sudden fall of the towers (including a 3rd not related with the impacts) but how it was all narrated by the mass media: it was like a film, not journalism. Nobody on TV or press made questions about all the inconsistencies between the official version and the real images everybody saw on 9/11. And some things did not match.Three or four years after (I was then in the Engineering School) I randomly read something on internet about the truth movements and I started to look for alternative sources about the attacks that lead me to further news, reports and videos pointing out many of the black holes occurred during the 9/11 events. And that's how I found AE911. And that made the whole sense for me: people with similar degrees I was studying were giving rational facts and using science to try to understand how it could happen. Nowadays, the most astonishing to me is how the scientific method was deliberately trashed in the official investigation and nothing happened. Like if there was an only 1 possible predefined interpretation and what did not fit in it, it simply did not exist. Are these the lessons learned for the future generations? Not to pursue the truth at all costs but create it. If our thoughts annoy our government, better to shut up or you'll be treated like an insane person. No matter what you do, it won't be useful. Sit down and swallow the news.

I firmly believe that the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7 was the result of controlled demolition. The official story does not sufficiently explain how the buildings collapsed in their own footprint.

First of all, I was 11 years old when I first heard about the Towers being attacked. I'm 24 now. I was too young to understand what happened during the time so I just believed the rhetoric, for over 10 years, that we were being attacked by terrorists. Now, after further, independent investigation as a welder, I have to conclude that you need an extra component other than fire to melt metal. It's obvious enough as it is. You don't have to be a welder to know this.

I absolutely believe those building could not have come down under the 'official story' pretenses. There had to have been some type of controlled demolition that took place for the Twin Towers and WTC7. The Pentagon was hit by a missile. No doubt in my mind and from the evidence I have seen.

If this was a conspiracy, then it was planned that we later go to Iraq. We have deposed secular dictators in the Middle East creating chaos...was this all a plan? Furthermore if it was, then the next plan would be against Russia. I am starting to think that Putin's the good guy and the shadow government behind our government is the evil one.

As the facts do not match with the 'official' report, especially the collapse of Tower 7, a thorough and expert investigation is justified and necessary! The truth should be discovered, at least to prevent future collapses of 'burning' buildings.

There are multiple questions concerning the destruction of the buildings, which have remained unanswered. Most prominent was the destruction of Building Number 7. The official explanation is inconsistent and not sufficiently inspects the actual available data.

It is my personal opinion from reviewing what evidence that has been brought to light to date is that the 9/11 incident was either made to happen on purpose by the US Government or that they let it happen on purpose. This incident has been a pivotal moment in time that has allowed an unceasing war on terror, destruction of liberties and untold death and destruction abroad since. A properly conducted investigation needs to be held into this tragedy.

Witnessed the tragedy from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Mustered on the 12th to help with the rescue attempt. Reflected on my past Navy firefighting training and made the decision not to risk my life. Made this statement to my union brothers present 'If we do not go down there dressed like we are going to the moon we will die!' My greatest concern was phosgene gas. This Tragedy is and will always be a source of sorrow. Hopefully the truth will bring closure for us all! P.S. I walked away from every blood cent I was entitled to.

The three greatest failures in skyscraper history. The ONLY skyscraper (WTC 7) to EVER collapse completely in to its own footprint from fire, in spite of that building being built to HIGHER standards due to the number of government offices contained within. Etc. etc. etc.

I totally concur with your analysis of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and Building 7 and believe there should be an open, thorough and impartial investigation into uncovering the absolute truth around 9/11. I would also like to know more facts regarding the supposed airliner attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. Were there similar suspicious findings at that building?

When 9/11 happened I thought like many others that it was done by the hijackers. I thought anyone who thought otherwise was unAmerican just like Bill O'Reiley says. Since then when I look at the hole made at the Pentagon and the lack of debris in PA........I was willing to take a closer look at the World Trade Center. I am convinced without a doubt that this was an inside job and that the engineers should be listened to.
I think there are a lot of uneducated people who let Bill O'Reiley do their thinking for them.
