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 is obvious that WTC Bldg 7 was intentionally demolished. No degree of external damage could have simultaneously knocked out all internal piers, resulting in the free fall, pancaking vertical fall of Bldg 7. Bldg 7's fall was identical to many intentional building demolitions. Since Bldg 7's failure is suspect, all events of that day are suspect.

I spent 44 years working as a software engineer for several high profile companies as well as the Technical Committee of the Department of Justice as an expert witness in their antitrust suit against Microsoft for 7 years.
I was scheduled on a flight to Chicago for a meeting with other Network Associates engineers when my wife was watching the collapse of building 2 on September 11, 2001. I was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with the picture. A few years later I saw a video of the collapse of building 7 and recognized immediately that it was a planned demolition. At that time, I became truly outraged at the lies that were being told. As I watched the video, I realized that 9/11 was probably a 'false flag' attack. All my friends thought and still think I am crazy. Signing this petition is important to me in my role as a teacher of Buddhist Meditation in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We must have the truth be told so that our confidence in the government can be restored.

I am a bodyworker of 30 years, working with biotensegrity structures.
I was a volunteer in the weeks following the WTC event. I walked the streets of lower Manhattan and witnessed the papered walls, lightposts, and billboards plastered with the photos of the missing, and presumed dead. I spoke with first responders and other witnesses whose stories differed from the official story. The conclusions regarding the collapse of those buildings is a scandal. The people have a right to know what really went down on that day.

Follow the money as was done with Watergate. The engineering results provide the legitimacy for the investigation. Here is the delicate part. Who has jurisdiction? What agency will not have a conflict of interest? How can the public be assured of a non-biased investigation? This issue and its resolution may allow us to regain our balance as a people, a nation and a respected and valued member of the international community.

I'm seeking the truth. The deception is broad, wide and multigenerational. Only the truth, wherever it leads us, will allow people to begin healing. I do not know the truth, only the many theories. I do know that what the news media reported to us, as released by our government officials, was not the truth. I have worked on the construction of many high rise buildings and had a part in building the Atlanta skyline. What I witnessed on 9/11 was so unbelievable and caused me such stress that I had a heart attack two days later and almost died. I want the truth, I need the truth for my children, my country and humanity.

No relevant education. I have studied chemistry, basic physics, soil microbiology, sustainable building design, solar and hydroelectric, among many other various studies that pertain to environmentally conscious living, reforestation, and sustainable agriculture.
After reviewing all relevant information that I could find, I have concluded that the official NIST report is a false statement and that it is highly improbable, if not impossible, that WTC 1 and 2 collapsed at near free-fall speed, in their own footprint, in about an hours time, in nearly the same way, while pulverizing much of the structures into a fine dust. I am no expert but I am capable of researching progressive, pancaking, gravity-induced, structural failures and I have found no evidence to support NIST's theory.

I purchased my first complete set of Craftsman 'Professional Mechanics' tools 40 years ago at the age of 12 using money saved from my paper route. I was mechanically motivated from an early age studying how things work. I worked at service stations and attended community college studying automotive mechanics. I've worked professionally in the collision industry, suspension and brake industry, and general automotive repair industry. I have designed and implemented steering and suspension systems. I have continued my education through refresher courses, advanced training, ASE certification and personal studies. I own and operate my own business. I am experienced at complete automotive restoration and modification. As a hobby I study structural design, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and general contracting. I have designed and built structures.
As a layman, regarding the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7, it is obvious to me that controlled demolition was utilized to intentionally collapse the buildings into their own footprint. Official explanations used to reach conclusions for what happened defy logic and therefore must be reasonably questioned and, more importantly, answered in such a way as to not contradict the known and verifiable facts. Simply stated, when all is said and done everything has to add up without loose ends.

I don't believe the 911 commission report about what happened in Manhattan on 11th September 2001, as it doesn't even mention WTC7 - this whole report isn't worth the paper it was printed on. I want to have 911 RE-investigated, and I want to know the truth about the lies that have been told ever since then.

The truth needs to be revealed in order to debunk the government story, however a larger and more daunting task is to understand the mechanics, the nuts and bolts about our government complicity and implicitly in the events leading to 9/11 and the deafening silence on part of the thousands of military and government contractors who have placed the explosives in the three towers that collapsed, the contractors who offered the logistical support in airports to NORAD, ATC, FBI, CIA, etc. I found this more amazing that no one, to my knowledge, has come out.

The fact that WTC Building 7 fell neatly at free fall speed into its own footprint in the same way that WTC 1 and 2 did strongly suggests all three buildings were brought down in the same controlled manner.

Clearly controlled demo... I was a sophomore in high school when I watched the Towers fall. I watched it all with my first period French class. It was epic... Even then I knew something was up... I used to love watching all the demolition shows they had circulating on mass media. Everything about that day resembled every TV show I had ever watched on control demolition/sequential detonation. I was 16, and knew that simple office fires couldn't burn hot enough to create molten iron.
