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.

It was surprising to see events unfold as they did on that dreadful day, given that the buildings were designed specifically to withstand such an event. I think that still there are many unanswered questions and an unbiased, independent and scientific investigation is the only answer.

I've read about this for years, watched a few videos on it, and am in touch with enough history of the USA, including what really happened at Pearl Harbor. As an engineer, I can say the buildings collapsed via demolition. You will find a small handful of men who properly masterminded this or allowed it to happen. Add'l, the 'plane' that hit the Pentagon was not a plane.

I became aware of the collapse of building 7 only in 2008 through Alex Jones' documentaries. And is amazing how so feel people in Brazil know about it and even about the melting steel of the twin towers. I think if this is unknown for the most people in the USA in the rest of the world is even worse.

The 9/11 terrorist attack on America, which left almost 3,000 people dead, was an 'inside job'. It was impossible for the Twin Towers to have collapsed in the way they did from the collision of two aeroplanes. Jet fuel does not burn at temperatures high enough to melt steel beams and horizontal puffs of smoke seen during the collapse of the Towers are indicative of controlled explosions used to bring down the Towers.

It is absolutely imperative that a new and honest investigation is opened regarding that fateful day. Not only due to the innocent lives lost, but even more importantly to expose the evil that perpetrated this heinous crime. For if it is allowed to go unpunished, we can rest assured it can, and will extend out until it touches each and every one of us. When that moment arrives we shall all regret our ignorance and inaction.

I am a layman re demolition, however, I could not believe that three Towers collapsed into their own footprint by 'accident'. My suspicions were aroused enough for me to watch out for any other 'alternative' info which may become available. Having read articles and watched youtube presentations regarding this, now for years, I feel certain that the Towers were not collapsed by the impact of the planes. There is another story here which we are not being told.

Something hasn't been right since 9/11. All the facts do not make sense, and I am so glad the architects are teaming up. The physical evidence may be long gone; but that, in itself, is evidence enough to demand answers.

It is terribly obvious to me that the buildings came down from explosives and that it was carefully planned and executed. The government of the U.S.A. lied about everything to do with 9/11 and thus I hold them culpable.

I'm a high school graduate with no formal education in structural engineering. My experience in the construction trades is limited to finish woodworking. My apprenticeship and on the job experience does not include the building of load-bearing walls.
I'm a concerned citizen who questions the official account of the events in New York City on September 11th, 2001. I don't believe WTC Bldg 7 collapsed because of fire. It was a controlled demolition. For a structure the size of Building 7 a controlled demolition would require more than a week to prepare. Obviously, it was prepared for demolition well before 9/11/01. For me, there's no question that the official account of 9/11 was a whitewash. I call for a new investigation and the arrest and prosecution of anyone implicated in the cover up.

Building 7 demolition was planned so someone could collect insurance by saying it was hit by the same destruction of the Twin Towers. Too many facts blare to cover ups. People not showing up for work that day, obvious explosive blowouts of the twin towers, the quick removal of evidence. I am insulted, that you think this is believable. The Patriot act was a well planned siege of the American People. You are the Terrorists.

As difficult as it is to 'believe' that something nefarious is behind the destruction of the towers and Building 7, all the details that just don't add up keep me wondering if the truth could be anything as 'evil' as some evidence suggests. I try to remain open minded and hope that enough research will determine that the story will turn out to be essentially the simple 'fact' of a terrorist attack, and not a 'conspiracy' perpetrated on us by the powers that be!

I was getting my son ready to go to daycare, and myself to work the day of the tragedy. He was watching 'Barney' and fussing because he didn't want to leave, then the children's show was interrupted and it showed the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. I was outraged, I didn't think it was real, I thought it was some Bruce Willis violent movie advertisement and was outraged at the gall of showing such an ad during a children's show. It wasn't until I was in the car driving him to day care that I realized it was actually happening. How on earth could the cameras have been ready and poised to capture that incident had it not been planned? Is it true that the day prior $3Trillion was 'missing' from the Pentagon? Did a plane even hit the Pentagon? Was the plane footage hitting the World Trade Center even real - or was it a movie stunt? How does a building that was hit by a commercial jet liner manage to collapse in it's own footprint? I do not think there was any plane at all at the Pentagon.

I just don't understand why both Towers, specifically the north tower, completely collapsed. The north tower was hit around floor 90 and stood for almost two hours before coming down all at once. Also, it is too much of a coincidence for me that one plane was diverted from its destination by passengers and one building mysteriously collapsed.

There are too many unanswered questions about how those buildings that were designed to withstand that amount of heat without falling, could possibly fall in a pancake fashion as they did. Especially building 7 that wasn't hit by an airplane at all, fell the same way. It's all very suspicious and inconceivable, it sounds more like a controlled demolition than what we are told.
