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.

I graduated Michigan State University Magna Cum Laude 1970 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I worked as a professional engineer at the following companies through the seventies until about 1984: Western Electric, Ford Motor, Jervis Webb, Massey-Ferguson, Chrysler, Budd, Firestone Industrial Products, Camco, and Detroit Diesel. I also earned my commercial instrument pilot and flight instrument instructor's certificates. I'm currently owner of residential rentals.
WTC 7 was obviously a controlled demolition; the falls of WTC 1 & 2 were also clearly explosive assisted. The perpetrator of this crime had the opportunity, the means and the motive to commit the crime. A new independent investigation must be initiated by the United States Government.

Since the 'attack', I have been perusing the credible books and documentaries concerning either the actual event or the greater political - intelligence agency - corporatocrasy - financial setting. Books like James Bamford's The Shadow Factory & Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine and documentaries like Zeitgeist - The Movie: World Trade Center & Core Of Corruption have caused me to doubt the official story (including the building collapses). We need to know what kind of world we live in.

Why are we really fighting if this is an inside job???...MONEY! Same as always. Over a million dead who had NOTHING to do with 911 attacks, those guilty must be found so this can't happen again. This was evil and it's causing us to accept evil if we don't do something. Richard's a hero who's suffered a lot for putting his reputation on the line. History will remember the Patriots who stood up for what's right in this time. God bless you and your work.

Self employed architect currently working in multi residential developments.
I saw the collapse live on Television here in Australia and witnessed the most significant event in my life (next to the birth of my two children). Two years later my sister mentioned about some alternative views on the events, which sparked my curiosity. When only looking slightly into the conflicting information it was clear that there was more to the story than i believed at the time.

I've been licensed for 18 years in California. I've been in the architectural business for 33 years.
I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

Explosive residue was found in the debris. Also, the fact that molten iron was found at the site which would imply an explosion because jet fuel doesn't ignite at that temperature. The fact that the police told people 'to get back they were bringing down building 7' and the fact that the British radio aired building 7 had fallen before it actually had.

"From the day it happened the explanation we were given made no sense. Too many unanswered questions. The government wanted the oil in Iraq. They capitalised on the American people's confusion and fear of attack to ram through a war based on illogical ""facts"". From the Republican lies about many things, including support of Hitler - the war in Vietnam - 9/11 - and most recently, the far reaching attack on the capital and our democracy it seems obvious America was lied to about many things. Who would they kill to keep the truth from being known."

Born and raised in NY. Moved to Georgia 2007, where I now reside. Been looking for the truth for years.
I lived about 12 miles away during the WTC explosion in 2001. Smelled / viewed smoked for several days. My now deceased father worked at the MTA and he was assigned the cleanup process ( underneath the towers were railroads/ NYC subway lines ) in which he caught some kind of cancer from mesothelioma. He died almost 10 years to the day 9/5/2011.

I'm a truth seeking American citizen who is always asking questions, and I believe the people of this country deserve to know the truth about what really happened on 9/11/01.
Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams! It is impossible. Also, WTC 7 didn't just collapse on its own, it was obviously a controlled demolition and in my opinion, that provides enough reasoning to launch an alternative investigation to uncover what really happened on 9/11/01.

I know that our govt was responsible for 9/11. I knew it then and I know it now. The companies that stood to benefit from this event are mostly owned by past members of the us government and also the patriot act emerged afterwards. Our government has been corrupt for so long that nothing surprises me anymore. My gut says Bush family ties, dick Cheney associations with Halliburton and patriot act spoils equals guilty

Ten year career in corporate finance at two major corporate headquarters and President Carter's energy program in Washington DC (Synthetic Fuel Corporation).

Now finishing my first book, 'Life for Your Soul' , a New Paradigm for the biblical gospel. Still do ministry voluntarily.
Many Americans would be shocked if they knew the actual history of our country and what's really happening now, and hopefully take urgent action. Their conception is a myth. The 9/11 attacks were the planned excuse for our war in Iraq followed by our constant wars for 19 years. This was a foundation for our current militaristic state. If the real history of 9/11 were to come out, urgent actions might be inspired to save our constitutional democracy. I am a political Independent who hasn't been brainwashed by either political party.

The official explanation does not agree with evidence gathered and presented by ae911.org. The 9/11 commission had their hands tied in many ways. More scientific evidence has been analyzed by many more experts with the benefit of time and hindsight. There needs to be a new commission set up to add the credible scientific information to amend the previous 9/11 commission report. Out of respect for so many that died, the credible analysis of the evidence presented by so many in the group 'architects and engineers for 9-11 truth' should be taken seriously.

I have a BA with 12 credit hours (4 semesters) in logic and critical thinking. I have also completed 9 credit hours (3 semesters) in the philosophy of science.
While I am not an engineer, it seems clear that the official NIST accounts of the WTC collapses are in violation of very fundamental principles of scientific methodology. They have excluded pertinent evidence that is incongruent with their hypotheses, and pursued a conclusion without properly comparing the merits with alternative hypotheses that better account for the evidence.

After watching WTC 7 collapse I knew that foul play was involved. I then reviewed the evidence for the destruction of all towers (WTC 1, 2, 7) with explosives and found it to be irrefutable. This fact implicates the U.S. government in the attacks. Justice needs to be served for the murders that were committed on September 11th and in the resulting wars that followed.

As a Direct Care Professional, I see to it that the individuals under my charge receive the best possible care, are treated with all due respect and honor any possible requests, hopes, and dreams. Prior to my becoming a CDCP, I spent thirty plus years in the food service business. As noted above, I earned an Associate in Applied Science in Restaurant Management.
As an armchair expert on explosives, I witnessed in horror the obvious controlled demolition of the three buildings at the World Trade Center Complex. When I first became aware of the AE911Truth creation, I knew I must donate and spread the truth. Much more recently, I began reading 'Death of a Nation: 9/11 and the Rise of Fascism in America' by George W. Grundy. I am only one third through this blockbuster. I cannot put it down, nor keep quiet. The rise of the Neoconservatives during the George W. Bush Administration is detailed very well and provides a road-map of the true events of Tuesday September 11, 2001.

I worked in several industries including software development, US Army (public relations) and construction. I earned my bachelor degree from Sonoma State University as a working adult.
Although I didn't have a background in the sciences, I was puzzled as I watched each tower collapse; I'd never seen grey ash and debris from a fire that moments earlier was emitting black smoke. I couldn't understand how everything turned to dust, ostensibly from a fire. I now know that I was watching a pyroclastic explosion of ash and material, which was previously only seen as a result of volcanic activity.
