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.

Board of Directors. Interior design. Master-planning.
I support a new independent investigation. The way the WTC twin towers fell vertically looks like a demolition with explosives rather than an asymmetrical collapse as would happen with a plane crash. It defies physics for the buildings to have fallen this way and at the duration of free fall. WTC 7 needs further investigation as well because one column failure does not make sense with collapse of the entire building or the way it fell. Again it appeared as if all supports had been demolished at regular intervals at free fall speed which looks like a controlled demolition.

I have studied the available evidence carefully and it is obvious to me that the buildings did not collapse simply because of fire. Even without all the technical evidence, including evidence of thermite, etc. common sense tells anyone viewing videos of the collapses with an open mind that explosives were used. The massive amounts of ejecta and dust cannot be explained otherwise.

In this case, it doesn't take an expert to comprehend the massive energy necessary to pulverize these major high-rise towers. They were built to last. As such, buildings like this just don't turn to dust in a matter of seconds as a result of fire coupled with the force of gravity. Other buildings similar to Seven experienced fires of greater duration and intensity and did not dissolve. Only these three buildings disappeared into a cloud of dust taking with them thousands of souls. Why?

After watching 3 steel frame structures collapse all in one day, one not even hit by aircraft, I had serious doubt about what we had been told officially. Since I could not find or be shown evidence of other steel buildings collapsing due to fire, WTC7 really stood out for me. This building collapsed at nearly free fall speed, into its own footprint. It really looks like a controlled demolition.

Well educated (degrees in several disciplines) with a strong background in physics, analysis, and an innate talent for observing detail.
Based on my observation of the collapse of the World Trade Center and my knowledge of physics, I find it incredible that any educated person could believe those towers collapsed due to an airplane crash. It conflicts with the basic laws of physics.

My college education is in the field of psychology with 30 hours post-graduate work in educational psychology.
I have always questioned the 'official position' of what happened at 9/11. The answers seemed too simplistic and, quite frankly, unbelievable to me. Common sense has told me that what I saw as massive destruction could not have been caused by an airplane hitting such a strongly fortified skyscraper. I also always wondered why there was no response from any form of security force to intercept this tragedy when supposedly America has the best military defense system in the world.

Recent college graduate who has spend 5 years studying testimony and video footage of the collapses and minutes leading up to them.
The collapses appear to challenge in the extreme the probabilities for a natural melting, failure and subsequent collapse, in that highly structurally sound buildings fell through the path of most resistance in free-fall speed. Testimony and seismography also claim that many other explosions occurred that seem unexplainable just prior to the building failures.

From the first '9/11 truth' docu. film I saw (9/11 Eyewitness, c. 2004) it was obvious to me after 3-5 viewings (and even more so after dozens of viewings) that the collapses of the 3 buildings must have involved explosives. There is no way that a building collapsing 'due to fire' (as alleged by the 9/11 Commission) would be instantaneously pulverized into microscopic dust (and people into bone fragments), occurring at free-fall speed and perfectly symmetrically. When I heard William Rodriguez's testimony in his film 'Last Man Out' of explosions occurring in the basement levels PRIOR to the plane impact, and multiple explosions thereafter (throughout the buildings, as he attempted to rescue trapped people,) this was much to 'coincidental' for me to believe the official account... Thank you AE911Truth for spreading the news... and for those of you out there just beginning to study this subject.... This is not a 'bipartisan' issue. The Truth will out.

After being exposed to the initial events and following stories concerning 09-11-01 I became uneasy about these happenings. This feeling led me to examine alternative sources of information, other than mainstream media. The evidence presented in Blueprint for Truth, coupled with over 500 architects and engineers signing a petition, only serves to fuel my suspicions that 9-11 was an inside job. I am pleased that professional people have joined this cause. That American lives were lost that day, and other lives have been lost in the aftermath, is a sad, sinister matter. I want to thank all of the patriots associated with AE911 truth for bringing this issue to light.
