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.

There is so much evidence as to the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, other than just the aircraft collisions. With the election of a new U.S. Administration, it is time to require a more legitimate investigation that does not intentionally discount the facts.

I'm a 40 year old Union Ironworker and live in Manhattan New York.I've been Ironworking for about 14 years and have been on some of the biggest jobs in the U.S. over that time. I moved to New York on July 4th weekend of 2001 from California and got a job out of local 40 Ironworkers hall to work on the Willie B. bridge and 2 months later I got a front roll set to the biggest event in U.S. history. Seeing it live and talking my own photo's and then going down there and seeing it for myself and helping clean up the mess that was left behind and breathing all that bad air seamed worth it at the time but now with my heath and seeing new evidence about the event has made me wonder that if the terrorist did not do it then who did and why. I don't want to die from this like so many others and not know the truth.
All I want is the whole truth nothing but the truth so help us God!!! And if we as tax payers have to spent 10 billion in building a new tower the same as the old one and slam an aircraft into it again to find the truth then that's what we should do that's not that much more money when you look at all the money we have spent on this illegal War and all the lies. My freedom means a lot to me and the truth shell set us free!

Studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 2011. Trained beyond MTQ2 in the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps. Possess a broad knowledge of military armaments, explosives & demolition technology. A recent graduate who designs Open-Source Hardware, but not currently employed by an engineering firm, partially due to conscientious objections to work available.
To me it is obvious both by physical intuition and training that dropping the top 10-15 floors of a circa-100-floor steel-framed building onto the rest intact below can not possibly cause the entire structure to collapse under its own weight, regardless of how much fire is blazing in the building. If nothing more had happened in Manhattan on the morning of 11/9/2001 than airliners each hitting those floors of WTC buildings 1 and 2, it is possible that sustained fire could have allowed the remaining beams supporting the top section of either building to buckle, and for said section(s) to fall to one side into the street below, but nothing more. Within the present spectrum of human knowledge, such a complete collapse, nearly symmetrical, near free-fall speed, can only be achieved using controlled demolition.

I have a degree in Computer Mathematics from Carleton University, Ottawa (1994). I served in the Canadian armed forces in the Governor Generals Foot Guards from 1990 to 1994. For the last 16 years I have worked as a computer consultant and currently run my own company, SageTea Group. I have worked for a variety of organizations and companies including Nortel, Merrill Lynch, Software Kinetics, XWave and the Government of Canada.
I worked at Merrill Lynch during 9/11. I personally witnessed molten metal pouring from the buildings prior to their collapse. I also heard explosions before and during the collapse of towers 1 and 2. I can also state that the fires took weeks to put out and were still burning underground. Approximately 1 week after the disaster, I had wanted to go to an office location near the 9/11 site. A colleague of mine said I could not go their because firefighters were still putting the fires out. I was incredulous that the fires were still burning such a long time (1 week or more) after the towers came down. From what I saw, the initial fires looked like they were going out when the initial collapse started. I gave a 47 minute interview to Truth Action Ottawa with the full details of my experience on 9/11. I knew something was wrong with the official story regarding 9/11 from the moment that 9/11 happened. Nothing that was stated by official US government sources could explain the molten metal that I saw. I had been troubled by that clear evidence for many years until I saw the paper written by Steven Jones and heard about his research. As a witness to 9/11, I can state that the evidence of molten metal presented by Steven Jones was visually observed by me. In fact, I was aware of the existence of molten metal at the 9/11 site long before Steven Jones paper was published. I am certain that this fact alone is sufficient reason to re-investigate 9/11. I have not ever been asked to testify or provide my evidence to anyone investigating 9/11. I would be willing to if ever officially requested.

This needs to be investigated as soon as possible. These towers were not brought down by planes or fire. It is obvious these towers were brought down by explosives and another type of weapon may have been involved, causing the towers to disappear in mid air as they were falling. Everything was pulverised. Planes and fire cannot do this!!

I have watched many hours of documentaries and read many books on the subject. The planes have been doctored into the news footage and we want answers!
There were explosives in the buildings!!!!! Those buildings were designed to withstand airplane attacks and the fuel did not burn the building up like that, it was the explosives that did it.

I always have been a firm believer that the United States Government have been responsible for the events on 9/11 and use a terrorist plot to cover up their actions. The American people as a whole are dumb and gullible and bought into it without question. I am not a demolition expert but I understand physics and believe that explosives are the only way possible to bring down all three buildings.

I believe that 9/11 was a planned event. None of the 'evidence' provided makes sense. As an ironworker, I have good knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of heavy iron, and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to weaken the steel to make it collapse.

My husband was scheduled to fly to LA on American flight 11 on 9/11 but missed his flight due to illness (the hand of God?). The wife of our high school's asst principal was on that flight, as well as my mother's best friend's daughter (a TJ Maxx executive), and our tailor's wife.This tragedy struck so many lives locally that it is offensive when people suggest the planes were not real.Getting to the truth of what happened that day is critical if we are to get beyond the persistent dis- and mis-information. It is time for America to wake up to the criminal agenda.

I may not be an architect, but I knew from the very beginning there was something VERY wrong with what happened on 9-11. Too many coincidences that couldn't just be coincidence. Now, even science is proving that the American people as well as the world were lied to.

The statements about what happened do not make sense. Experts say that no Steel building has ever been destroyed by fire, and building 7 wasn't even hit, yet went down as a demolition. Later witnesses (5 years later when required by law) the firemen said they heard explosions. The clamp down on interceptor planes, and the loss of video evidence from the Pentagon attack, among many other things, points to an inside job. It needs to be objectively investigated.

Based on the evidence that I view through the internet... Facebook, YouTube and other Internet sources... It appears that there are a very large amount of evidence that the 9/11 incident was clearly an inside job... From the hijackers, the air planes, the way the buildings fell, to the witnesses, the extraordinary heat at the bottom of the buildings after they had fallen etc... There are a lot of questions that needs to be answered...

Americans were lied to on September 11th, 2001. Our democratically elected leaders were complicit in the one of the most dastardly crimes in history. This lie and cover up has brought our country to the point of no return unless we the general population can begin to think critically.

I am currently a student at Eastern Washington University going for a degree in Biology Chemistry. My family has never supported the reported 9/11 statements and therefore have not brought my brother or myself up in believing those statements. My education on that day has come from independent research, documentaries, interviews and conversations had with my family, mostly my brother concerning evidence that we found disproving what we as citizens were told to be true.
I was just a child when it happened. Still in elementary school. I remember not even knowing the World Trade Centers were in America. I just didn't understand what was happening. At school us kids thought it seemed kind of cool. Obviously we just didn't understand the magnitude of the event just yet. We thought of it as just big airplanes flying around doing tricks and really big buildings. There was fire and explosions. To kids all of that sounds pretty neat, like a movie. We had no idea of the repercussions following that day. Our teachers were hardly in class that day it seemed and when they were they looked scared or worried. Us kids had no idea how many people died and how many would die following that day. At the end of the school day there was an assembly called for whole the school. They told us that on the other side of the country two large planes crashed into the side of a very tall and important building with a lot of people inside. A lot of people died... They didn't tell us that it was terrorists or just a crashing plane. They never said what caused it to crash, probably to not scare us too much or maybe they knew we wouldn't understand anyways. But we're not kids anymore... I am 95% sure now that it wasn't a terrorist and sure wasn't a surprise attack when it happened. I know that Larry Silverstein made huge profits after 9/11. I believe Israel played a huge part in the attacks and the planning along with some parts of our own government system. I believe al-Qaeda was created and funded by the U.S. Government. I could continue. Uncovering what really happened that day should be high on the priority list. I support this petition.
