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.

People cannot imagine who caused the buildings to fall, beyond what they have been told, but we all must face the fact that these buildings were pulled. Once it's a mainstream idea that other factors were at work, we can move on to more of the truth. How can we build more buildings now knowing that our safety codes are so inadequate? Unless of course, the buildings were blown up!

Also have extensive background in Audio Production and Digital Signal Processing.
Engineers don't really understand politics. We understand laws of motion as set forth by Isaac Newton. (It is probably not necessary to extend Newton's laws to incorporate relativistic effects in order to explain the events surrounding 9/11, 2001). I seek a narrative that stands the test of physical observations. Misdirection and oversimplifications fester in the form of distrust. The US Government is worthy of the truth, needs the truth and deserves the truth, regardless of the direction the investigation takes. Only the truth can preserve our existing government and keep Americans free.

The official conspiracy theory, relative to the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7, makes sense if, and only if, none of the universal laws of physics were applicable on Sept. 11, 2001. As for the Pentagon, the expert opinion of Gen. Stubblebine should convince anyone of the falsehood of the official version.

Although educated in Arkansas, I learned some critical thinking skills by watching and listening to alternative news sources, especially after 9/11. I knew for certain that the official story of 9/11 was BS after hearing David Ray Griffin on C-SPAN, then reading his first book about it.. My chemical engineer husband, who is one of your members, confirmed Mr. Griffin's statements after he also watched the C-SPAN presentation.
The collapse of the Towers always gave me an uneasy feeling that there was something very suspicious about it, but most people seemed to accept that it was not that unusual after buildings had been hit by planes. When I heard Mr. Griffin on C-SPAN, I knew instantly that he was right about the collapses--it was the first time I had heard anything that made sense about that day.

The buildings quite obviously did not collapse. They exploded into pyroclastic clouds. It is essential that the truth of 9/11 be known, so that the fraudulent war on terror can be exposed and the perpetrators brought to justice.

Well im a big Alex Jones fan he has opened up my eyes through his many documentaries, people have to wake up , just like whats happening in some parts of south america. Hugo Chavez is just one great example of whats going on now, and to see that western main stream media makes him out to be some evil dictator is just mind blowing. HAIL Hugo Chavez the world needs more leaders like him.
The evidence is overwhelming , and the fact that the US gov ISNT doing a complete unbiased investigation leads me to believe that they have ALOT to hide. 😉

The images of synchronized squibs as the WTC buildings collapsed, one after another, seen repeatedly on television on 9/11, is the primary evidence I have personally witnessed. The locations of the squibs, in places where only structural elements of the building are located, was all the evidence I needed to conclude that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. All that has been revealed since then has only reinforced my initial conclusion.

La caida de las torres se parecen bastante mas a una demolicion controlada, mas que al resultado de un incendio y colision. The fall of the towers are quite similar but a controlled demolition, rather than the result of a fire and collision.

I have a Master's degree in English philology, but my hobby has always been science, especially physics and chemistry. I have also been following world politics since my early teenage years.
As someone who has always tried to figure things out for myself, I simply cannot accept the official story of 9/11. My first doubts arose when the suspected hijackers were almost immediately identified. How could the authorities not have seen them coming, yet knew right away who was involved? The inconsistencies have only multiplied exponentially since then. I am also distressed by the lack of concern of people around me who think it is ancient history and not something which affects them in any way.

I knew from the moment I watched the towers fall on the news the morning of Sept. 11 that something was not right. Buildings do not collapse like that except from controlled demolition. Something is just not right.

If explosives were used to take down the towers...it should be revealed.

One doesn't need a degree in physics to recognize a controlled demolition. The implications of 9/11 go beyond the present mayhem in the Middle East. 9/11 gives us the only in-your-face proof that we are ruled by psychopaths. For this reason I believe 9/11 is the key to other major geopolitical issues - such as global warming, peak oil, and the banking crisis.

I am a concerned citizen who believes that the facts presented demand that Congress conduct an independent investigation into the 3 WTC High-rise collapses on 9/11.
I am having difficulty in believing, given the evidence presented, that the collapse of the 3 WTC Towers could be attributed to the attack by planes.

After seeing your website, it is clear to me that the buildings were taken down in a professional demolition. Some convincing evidence is (1) the free fall time of 9 seconds (2) the pulverizing of the debris into dust (3) the explosions seen on film (4) the molten steel which could only be caused by thermite or thermate and (5) Building 7, the smoking gun.

I have heard Richard Gage speak, and his logic is sound. Therefore, I think that the attacks on the 911 WTC should be reopened for an independent investigation.
I was never satisfied with the explanation of the traumatic and devastating events which occurred on 9/11. I think Americans and the world deserve to know the truth for now and in the future.

Our government needs to look at the significant body of scientific evidence supporting the theory of controlled demolition as the cause of the collapse of the WTC buildings. Why was this information not made available to the American people? It is the responsibility of congress to use tax payers dollars to reveal, not cover up the truth. Please step up to this responsibility. A government that's 'for the people' doesn't hide the truth from the people. Please do your job. Thank you.

The weight of evidence that has accumulated contradicting official explanations of the collapse of the Twin Towers and Bldg. 7 is enough to have brought down the Towers on its own. It's time for a new investigation into the events of 9/11 and for the American people to have the opportunity to judge the truth for themselves.

From the morning of the plane crashes, I knew from onlookers' comments that there were explosions. Jet fuel does not melt steel and fires do not cause white smoke and send rafters flying blocks away. Bldg 7 was not hit by plane, and photo of Pentagon shows opening not large enough for jet and a file cabinet is still standing and there are no remains of the plane, except fake engines, no people, suitcases etc. How come jet fuel didn't burn that building down? I spoke in person to Herdandez in Tampa Florida who was a custodian in Bldg 1 and he said he heard an explosion upstairs and ran up to the first floor and glass was all over the lobby and THEN the plane hit. He was with a group formed by real estate builder Jim Walters who was touring the country explaining how 9/11 didn't happen as told to us. The group was called 'The New Pearl Harbor' and was presenting their case at the Tampa theater, many years ago.
