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 am a retired bank VP who was in lower Manhattan on 9/11. My bachelor's degree is in modern history and political science and I also have a master's degree in computer science. Both degrees were obtained in the UK which is the country of my birth. I reside with my wife and oldest son in Brooklyn New York.
From my own 30 minute observation of the burning towers, from the south in Battery Park, I noted at the time that the fires were subsiding. The flames were diminished and the smoke was thicker. I left to return to my office on the east side of lower Manhattan on Water Street, believing that I had witnessed the worst of the damage. I did not have sight of the buildings when they collapsed, but have spoken with people who were close to the towers as they collapsed. They all heard explosions as a chain of thuds going off just below the collapsing material at each level.

If one chooses to significantly study all of the evidence and to think critically on the same, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the official story of 9/11 put forth, in its entirety simply cannot be true from any perspective. It is an impossibility. Additionally, there is overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness statements, photographic and videographic records, timelines, scientific and engineering data, irrefutable laws of physics, and the like which directly and unequivocally refute the official story of 9/11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 ' 1860) There will come a day when our children & grandchildren will look us in the eyes and ask us what we did and what action we took when we learned of the truth of 9/11 . . . 'He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.' - Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 ' 1968)

I have learned tremendously through all the videos on ae911truth.org about the potential causes that might have brought down the mighty, majestic buildings adorning the Manhattan skyline. And the hollowness of the official investigation report. It was personally a very tragic moment for me to witness on TV the colossal damage and despair unseen in modern history. It fills me with awe to imagine a bunch of semi trained people remotely controlled by a man in remote languishing third world country desert or cave could trigger such a catastrophe despite the sophisticated vigilance of world's greatest nation. I seek to know the truth.

Proud graduate of The City College of New York. If Professor Goshn taught us one thing right, it's the behavior of material under stresses.
Having a building collapse exactly the same way, 110 stories on top of each other, not once, but twice is like winning the lotto, twice, at the same machine, the same day. The probability of this happening is 2^220. In engineering, this is referred to as Controlled Demolition. If you look closely at the video footage, explosions occur on each floor before they collapse. I don't blame the public for believing the media, only few are equipped with the right set of skills to understand the behavior of material under stresses. Very sad to see a government deceive its people in this horrible way.

I don't have a theory in regard to who collapsed them, but I do know that somebody did. If the supports aren't broken as they begin to fail, the torquing which will occur creates shearing and much greater displacement of debris.

Never really knew/believed so much in a 'possible planned activity' until I came across 'ReThink911' today.I am not in a position to deny the justifications placed by all the scientist and engineers here.Although not an expert as many others here, but I did wonder what if '9/11' was not only what was projected to the mass. What may have caused this and why? And where does this all ends?Who's got a complete answer and would the world be ever a safer place to live?

I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the 3 World Trade Buildings collapsed due to forces beyond the burning of jet fuel and typical building contents. We do not design undamaged buildings to free fall as in the World Trade Buildings on 9/11. There needs to be a truthful and apolitical investigation into the mechanism in the collapse of these buildings.

I am a 1980 graduate of Auburn University school of Veterinary Medicine. I was graduated with high honors and have owned my own practice since 1984.
Even as one not trained in architecture or engineering, it is fairly self evident that a building that collapsed due to being struck by a large object ( airplane ) then subsequently collapsing in such a perfect fashion would be a near impossibility . In addition, it is my understanding that the building supervisor had stated that these buildings were slated for demolition and that this statement has never been recanted.

I have been in the construction industry as an electrician for 14 years. After watching 'Blueprint for Truth' on YouTube and my own experience, I KNOW there is something being hidden by our 'government'.
Jet fuel would never burn hot enough to create the molten metal shown on several videos. Any building that falls at free fall speed, with evidence of concrete vaporization, and no pancaking of floors was obviously demolished. The everyday 'Joe Q. Public' lacks basic problem solving skills and common sense to see the obvious. They are very happy to watch TV news and eat up every word...

i am a former teacher and retired legal secretary. I do not for one moment believe the official story of what happened on 9-11 and want America to become the democracy it was supposed to be.
It is OBVIOUS that the collapse was achieved by a series of detonations, and did NOT result from the buildings being hit by a plane, with the exception of the Pentagon which was clearly hit by a missile--not a plane. I want to know who ordered this and who carried it out, for what reason, as well as the reason the American people were deliberately deceived about it and have even now been denied a legitimate investigation of what happened, who was involved, and what their motives were for murdering all of these people and blaming their deaths on others...

I been educated by the evidence of video footage, awareness of basic structural science and awareness of the elementary laws of physics.
I am aware that due to the laws of physics, the 9/11 building collapses could not possibly have been caused by the airliners which crashed into them nor by the fires which were caused by that crashing.

No engineering or architectural background, just a well-informed and concerned citizen.
There is far too much information available that raises many grave questions about the truth of what transpired on 9/11/01 in New York City. That most of that vital information should be ignored by the 911 Commission should alert one to the veils of deception which surround these events and the overwhelming stench of cover-up. The data that has been released by Dr. Steven Jones and others by means of scientifically sound research deserves to be considered by a body of individuals who hold the power of prosecution. Also, the education of the American people as to these scientific findings is crucial to the survival of any semblance of a government of the People, by the People, and for the People.

this requirement for a bio is confusing to me as I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, so possibly I have checked some box in error I am attempting to fill this so that my petition goes through. for those of you who have to fact check/correct these things my apologies. I am a 39 year old American Female who has no criminal record to speak of and who has always been drug and alcohol free. I do not subscribe to a religion but I am actively concerned with the evolution of the human race on a spiritual / consciousness beat. I work in retail and try to participate in community projects as often as possible to do my part in making my town (and consequently the world) a better place.
I am an American who feels that the due diligence that this event required was not honored. I do not pretend to be an expert on anything, but my knowledge of politics and bureaucracy tells me that a tendency to gloss over difficult things for the benefit of unifying public opinion is par for the course and I did not witness much if any hesitation on the part of the government (or media for that matter) to address things simplistically, instead of in a non emotional non reactionary way, as is their duty. History shows that governments who give quick swift answers to difficult and messy situations = inaccuracy/incompetency and possibly worse.

I work in inspecting the erection of equipment used in the water treatment field.
It is obvious that the buildings didn't collapse from structural damaged due to the airplane impacts and fire. The fire from the fuel was quickly burned up and the heat from the fire would not be sufficient to melt steel. The pulverized cement, termite evidence, molten steel, and eyewitness testimony of explosions is proof of controlled demolition.

I did engineering and physics at school - i did a project on september 11 in 2006 and it didn't make sense - how the buildings could fall - without some sort of explosives.
I think there needs to be thorough unbiased investigation - no money - just truth.
