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.

From the evidence shown in this website, it is clear that the building collapses are caused by explosives commonly used for controlled demolition. The aircraft accident, which hit both towers, only acts as a camouflage to the building collapses, to create a public perception that the building was attacked by terrorists.

I am college philosophy professor and long time member of 9/11 Truth Seattle. My specialty is the nature of religion, in particular as understood in cognitive terms. So I look at the human brain and the functions religion appears to serve. My conclusion is that religion (generically understood) is the brain's operating system. I did my PhD at Claremont and came to the 9/11 Truth Movement through reading Griffin's New Pearl Harbor. Since I knew him I knew that I had to take the book seriously. Since then I have been active, lectured, help produce events and written on 9/11. I have always been politically active. It is just the profound moral dimension of what 9/11 Truth is about demands a response -- or so I have argued in print. But it is true, I am a 9/11 activist against my will because I feel morally compelled to do something about the monstrous evil imperial America does.
I still can't figure out how any person who gives this any thought at all doesn't see that there big questions and, with investigation, disturbing answers.

I have 40 years experience as an industrial engineer in the automotive industry. I have a BSIE from Purdue University 1973 and an MBA from University of Michigan 1985.
I am familiar with steel construction in large plant complexes and I have watched many controlled demolitions. I was convinced when I saw the buildings come down that the planes had nothing to do with the explosive destruction of the twin towers. I was absolutely convinced a few hours later when I watched Building 7 come down. I also heard Mr. Silverstein state that he was involved in the decision to 'pull' the building. That same afternoon I shared my thoughts with co-workers and was met with very cold responses. I decided to wait until the evidence started to show up. I praise AE911truth for standing for the truth and greatly appreciate the collection of solid evidence you have assimilated. It has been my pleasure and responsibility to spread your information to as many people who will listen. As a Christian I share this to try to help others understand the level of control that is present to pull off such a mass brainwashing of the American people and others throughout the world.

I am concerned that our nation seems content to live with a lie, a lie that has led to untold misery. We must re-investigate, and learn the truth about the events of 9/11.
They say that on that sunlit New York day The towers came down as fast as falling free. But buildings can't be made to fall that way, They never have in all of history. They say that fires made the metal soft And that in turn began the quick collapse. But fuel from jets can never burn that hot And buildings never turn to dust so fast. The explanation told us was a lie. The cover-up is further proof of crime, And yet we cannot turn away and sigh And let this lie define our life and time. We have to jar awake a sleeping nation, And learn the truth from new investigation!

On the day the towers fell, I watched along with everyone else the video of the collapses over and over. It was disturbing to know that so many people were dying in all that destruction. But there was something else equally disturbing. It just didn't look right. - - - - Like everyone else I waited for the investigation and the explanation of what happened that day to come out. I had faith that our free press investigative journalism and our justice system would eventually get to the truth. Now I am not so sure. 8 years later and we as a nation are still in a fog. The perpetrators have not been caught and brought to justice. - - - - I am not satisfied with the official explanation of the events that day. There are too many unanswered questions and accounts that don't fit.

I am retired but worked 1958-1985 in steel,aircraft manufacturing, R&D for microelectronic materials and processes and solar cell manufacturing.
I am in agreement with the forensic analysis of Dr. Steven Jones regarding the chemistry and topology of the pulverized concrete residue deposited on the buildings and streets of NYC. Forceful air solidification of molten metals and alloys is a common method for producing spheroidal particles for microelectronic metallic pastes. Steel would behave the same way when exposed to the high aluminum/iron oxide exothermic reaction temperature and forceful expulsion.

I studied Agricultural Economics at the Cornell University College of Agriculture. I am a blacksmith and environmental based builder concentrating on the design and construction of homes and work buildings utilizing local sources of materials and labor.
Being a blacksmith, I am acutely aware of the temperature that it takes to melt or even soften steel. I became aware of the destruction of WTC building 7 realizing that it was impossible to have the building collapse because of office fires. I then did my research and demand that real investigations by impartial investigators be undertaken utilizing the evidence so skillfully amassed by the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth and the Lawyers Committee for 911 Inquiry.

It is obvious to me that the WTC buildings were destroyed by means other than airplanes and fires. That this observation can be denied by so many people scares me much more than the trauma of 9/11 itself. What this proved was that the American public, dependent on a corporate controlled media, is susceptible to gas-lighting and propaganda. So ever since then we are continuing to be treated as though 'truth' is just another opinion and what those in power want, they will get, and what the American people want, hardly ever. Imagine anyone coming onto a television news show rationally asking for a serious investigation into the science of 9/11 and the crime of 9/11. They will be mocked as someone who has fallen for a conspiracy theory and not to be taken seriously. The subject will be changed, as everyone knows the 9/11 commission thoroughly answered every possible question about the subject. But...is that really the case?

My result 15 years after 9/11 is a frightening, namely an unfathomable, social habituation and toleration process of corruption, lobbyism, lies, war, deception, ignorance, law breaking and crime throughout the US government. Sadly, however, true! Instead of investing in education and renewable energy, the armament costs rise constantly.Mein Fazit 15 Jahre nach 9/11 ist ein erschreckendes, n'mlich ein unfassbarer gesellschaftlicher Gew'hnungs- und Tolerierungsprozess von Korruption, Lobbyismus, L'ge, Krieg, T'uschung, Ignoranz, Gesetzesbruch und Verbrechen durch die US Regierungen!!! Traurig aber wahr!!!Verdeckte Kriegsf'hrung und Ressourcen-Sicherung stehen 'ber dem h'chsten Gut eines Menschen.

I saw a building imploded in Cincinnati, OH, around 1994. As soon as I saw the news on 9/11, I knew the buildings in NYC were imploded. I knew that life would never be the same. And, the political environment today makes it even more depressing.

During my 3rd year at the University of Texas in Austin my father died of cancer. I immediately moved back home in Edinburg, TX in efforts to continue to run his Appraisal business that took him years of hard work to acquire. 12 years later I am still running The Appraisal Company which did not allow me to be able to finish college.
I was always concerned that the truth of what really happened that horrible day was not anywhere near what we were being told. This caused a deep and vibrant mistrust of the powers that be but I never had any irrefutable evidence. I would always watch any documentary regarding the events on 911 but many and most are way too speculative. After watching Experts Speak Out my life will NEVER be the same again. Its not a Conspiracy Theory it is a Conspiracy FACT. I am certain, with out a doubt that America has been attacked from within and been mislead for years. I pray for all those who have needlessly suffered.

I saw videos that to me seems far-fetched that a plane could drop a huge, well constructed building. - - It does not take a high school education to see that there is deception from our government officials. There was talk of the gold being removed from the towers before they were destroyed with a obvious controlled demolition They are insulting our intelligence by implying that another plane crashed into the pentagon.

I always thought that was a mighty fine coincidence and now that I'm older I can see that there were a lot of those that day.

9-11 was a travesty to all American citizens but especially those who lost their lives & the many who are ill from helping victims. The people responsible for this massacre which I firmly believe were insiders of our own government need to be brought to justice.

I have operated heavy equipment for 40 years. In those 40 years, I worked on jobs that required blasting, so I have witnessed hundreds of explosions. The demolition crew sets there explosives to go off like a wave, it starts at one end and works its way across like a wave. The Twin Towers explosions looked exactly like the solid rock explosions I have witnessed.
I believe they brought down the first tower, because that fireman made it up to the impact site and they didn't want him putting out the fires, and I don't think they wanted him assessing the impact site and reporting what damage had or had not been done. That Fireman (Mr. Palmer) hot wired an elevator, had to fix his radio, ran up several hundred feet, and when he reached the impact site, he radioed that there were two isolated pockets of fire, should be able knock them out with two water lines. When he sent that message the people that blew the towers up decided to blow that tower first.

I have revisited my initial suspicion of deliberate 'free fall' in light of the subsequent global mayhem which directly followed and was facilitated by 9/11. I am amazed how few people are aware of WTC7 due to repeated media focus on traumatic visual imagery of WTC 1 and WTC 2. Maybe the building came down due to the shear force of journalistic / media vacuum!

The growing body of evidence that discredits the official story is troubling. It's doubly troubling because of how it's ignored, both by the general public and investigatory officials. There should be an intense interest in new information, information that will help us more fully understand just what happened that horrific day, and hold any new parties responsible for either direct involvement or being otherwise complicit. However, it's a struggle to even get anyone's attention when discussing the inconsistencies.
