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.

The WTC was destroyed by persons unknown for purposes unknown. It is of vital importance that those responsible be found and their motives determined. The U.S. Attorney General should appoint a Special Counsel to look into the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A complete and independent investigation should also be launched by the International Criminal Court.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of physics knows that steel will crush aluminum, not the other way around. Even if the planes could have penetrated the buildings, the buildings would have tipped over like a tree, not fallen into their own footprint. The evidence is overwhelmingly against the official story. God bless you, Mr. Gage, for your work

The collapse of the (3) buildings needs to be looked at a much higher scientific level other than what was presented to us by the Government. The amount of evidence that contradicts the Governments findings is staggering. An independent investigation must be completed so that we all may know the truth.

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.

I believe an independent and thorough investigation of the events of 9/11 will arrive at some shocking conclusions. I believe such an investigation will also bring numerous individuals to justice who are presently living free.

I saw Dr. Stephen Jones on CSPAN with my husband a few years ago, and since that time we have been convinced of the treasonous government conspiracy on 9/11/2001. I am also convinced that the Architects and Engineers, just the facts mam, approach is the best. We need first to establish the scientific truth about the events, then go after the culprits.

I am not a scientist, I am a visual artist and as such, I pay attention to details. As an avid student of Socrates and Descarte, I have knack for detecting lies and disinformation.
I believe it was a classic false-flag operation. The buildings came down remarkably neat, which indicates a controlled demolition. I agree with Steve Jones' assessment that themite was used to undermine the structural integrity of WTC 1 and 2. Building 7 was obvious (note the crimp that is glaringly evident in the slow motion footage of the building being pulled). Also it is obvious that the powers that be removed evidence. My simple question is, who stands to gain?

I cannot be too technical here but I have seen many videos on the subject and I have listened to the debates on youtube with Popular Mechanics and the producers of Loose Change. Initially I resisted the idea that there was a controlled demolition but the films and literature illustrate the truth to the layman.

I grew up in NYC. Although I had good opportunities in my youth I dropped out of high school and have not had much success in life. Although I have lived in poverty here for the last 20 years in Western MA, I've still had good times and friends and fond memories as well, just as I did in the city I was born in. I am a recent father, though this is not in the best circumstances. I am yet joyful of my daughter and endeavor to help her, and her mother who is estranged from me, as best as I can.
It is clear that the towers did not fall because aircraft struck them. The story we were TOLD was something I had no reason to doubt and believed completely until I saw Loose Change years ago. I believe the controlled demolition evidence presented here on A&E Truth, and in other forums. I am fearful for my country and this world because of what it means. My politics are left leaning and probably I focus on them too much. I have been this way long before this thing about 911 came to my attention. I have watched my values swept away since that day. But my heroes like Noam Chompski and Amy Goodman are now with feet of clay, now that I've learned this stuff. I still have to go back and look at the facts you have presented here because the world just don't care and I start to wonder if I'm sure. No one knows for sure. But I know we need another official investigation. The only way we are going to get one is with the little people seeing the truth. And though that takes time it does eventually start to grow exponentially.

From the moment I witnessed the collapse I have always suspected controlled demolition. All the attempted explanations to the contrary from the government and such private conspiracy busters as the Popular Mechanics report seem to melt into irrelevance in the face of my own eye witness viewing (through TV) of the initial events, followed by increasing mountains of corroborating evidence to my own assessment of expert testimony of numerous professionals in the field of science and engineering.

On 9/11 I came home from work just in time to see building 7 come down. I was confused why this would happen but right away the media said it was due to the damage from the towers and uncontrolled fires all day long so I was OK with that and even forgot about building 7 for two years. A friend of mine borrowed me a 9/11 d.v.d. which made me revisit building 7 without the shock factor this time and to me the evidence points to a controlled demolition. Why the 9/11 commission report says nothing about building 7 at all is beyond me. We need a real investigation into 9/11 front to back.

I believe that it is unconstitutional to in any way restrict or discard hard evidence regarding the events of 9/11 or of any other un-resolved/explained event that occurs in this or any country. By allowing this moment in history to pass un-examined, we cheat ourselves and the world from the right to live in a transparent and rational society.

I am a meditation teacher. I have worked on meditation and yoga centers i several European countries.
I was first confronted with this back in 2004. At first I rejected it. Having digested the information, the conclusion that the official story does not at all hold became inevitable. Today in October 2009 the evidence is overwhelming. And you do not have to be a rocket scientist to reach this conclusion, common sense is enough. As a meditation teacher, working with the nature of mind, it is interesting to me to note how most of us fell for the story media gave us without an ounce of reflection.
