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 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.

When I first saw the planes hitting the building I was a engineering student I believed and the media made the whole world believe that it had collapsed by burning of jet fuel.But practically the whole story of collapse of towers by hitting a plane came to me when started investigating on behavior of steels. And this website has even more reason to find the truth. Hope it exposes the truth to the world that the 911 was an inside job.

Born in the U.S., watched the twin towers being built floor-by-floor as I drove across the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey to school in New York every day. Moved to Canada in 1973, back and forth but finally settled in Toronto Ontario. The day the twin towers came down I had started the first day of my Master of Urban Design degree at the University of Toronto; watched on TV as the world came to a stand-still.
First clued in to the bigger mystery of 9/11 in around 2006, when I became aware of the question of how WTC 7 could possibly have collapsed from fire alone. I write about my growing awareness..

As I watched the twin towers collapse -- there was no question in my mind -- that I was witnessing a controlled demolition. I have been around buildings long enough to recognize that physics is constant and that only professionally placed explosives could have brought down these buildings in such a 'organized' manner.

I know that what happened in New York on September 11th, 2001 was a carefully orchestrated conspiracy. I know most of the so-called proof is just blown out of proportion, but the kind of evidence advocated by this website is real. The degree of destruction that the Twin Towers suffered can not be explained by anything but the use of explosives. If our government denies the truth that they surely must see, then let that be the only proof that you need to understand. The USG will not stop using any and all means to hide truth and perpetuate lies, as the preservation of American beliefs has been lost already. I'm not saying politicians placed explosives themselves, but I will say anybody who helps those responsible avoid their justice is clearly an accomplice at best. However, the many conversations in which our politicians refuse to speak when confronted by the truth greatly deters the use of evidence and truth. These efforts clearly imply some kind of personal involvement.

It is impossible that all three buildings fell in the manner in which they did based on the reasons stated in the 911 Commission's Report. There is also new evidence of thermite found in the WTC dust. Anyone with even the most average of intelligence knows that there is something very wrong with the official 911 Commission's Report. There needs to be an independent investigation ASAP.

Member of We Are Change Chicago. I have read every thing I can find regarding the official story and the finding of independent groups like 911 truth, A&E for 911 truth etc... I feel a new investigation is needed.
it is plain to even the most uninformed that a new investigation is needed to get to the bottom of the concerns about the 911 horror. Please we the people ask you in Congress, open a new and independent investigation and shine the truth on this horrible day in our history. We need the truth from Washington just once.

After studying, admittedly outside my field, evidence of the fall of the towers. It has become more than obvious that it was because of charges placed inside the building.

I have been researching 911 since I heard that it was staged. I'm just a tradesman but you would have to be blind not to be convinced it was an inside job after seeing Building #7 of the WTC come down in its own footprint. For what my word is worth, I stand for truth and with patriots around the world for another investigation into the 911 WTC incident.

well, I found it strange that the buildings collapsed on top of itself, millions of man hours have been put into these buildings to resist loads, wouldn't the buildings have toppled over and taken the least resistance path?, WTC 7 collapsed from a fire?, comparing this building to the building that was on fire in China that did not collapse is strange, the 3 structural steel buildings to have collapsed by fire in the history of the world are these 3 buildings as to spit in the face of our Engineers and the centuries of American Engineering, why Engineer anything if this can happen to any of our buildings?, another puzzling factor is how fast they moved the steel from the site to be melted down, they sent it to China, tracked the trucks, it is just steel, why keep track of it?

The official story is fundamentally flawed due to the fact that much of the physical evidence (the wreckage of the WTC) was both denied access to by independent investigators and literally removed and destroyed before any crucial analysis could have been implemented. And the glaring fact the WTC7 was never even mentioned in the report yet fell in the same manor without even being hit.

After being hit, the World Trade Center towers demonstrated their resilience by staying in place. But after an hour they collapsed at free fall speed, from what we are told is a fire initiated collapse. The idea that an office fire could demolish over 100 floors of building is absurd. I have to wonder - how did all of the core columns become dismembered, and how was a free fall collapse possible? When I take all of the evidence into consideration, there is no way I could justify believing the official story. It just doesn't make sense.

I cannot accept the story as put forth by our government about 911. There are too many contradictions with regard to both the twin towers and the way they fell. Also the federal building and the lack of evidence regarding the plane that was supposedly involved.

I work as what's called an Engineer by Equivelancy - this means that I am neither degreed nor licensed, but have displayed sufficient skill and work experience to work alongside engineering professionals. I am regarded as an engineer but a fully licensed engineer must sign off on everything I do. In the drafting/robotics company that my independent company works with, I am a sort of ideas person - engineers tend to come to me with custom requests from clients that they don't know how to achieve. I have a good working knowledge of live load acting on static and dynamic structures, and I know how to apply this knowledge to practical real life situations.

I am a homeschool graduate living in Massachusetts. I became aware of the 9/11 truth movement in August 2009. Initially, I didn't accept the ideas I heard about the government knowing ahead of time, explosives planted inside the buildings, etc. But after careful research, I realized there were so many unanswered questions (like why Building 7 collapsed, which I only recently heard about). I acknowledge that I am a 9/11 truther, not a conspiracy theorist or terrorist. I have questions I want answered. It's my duty to inform others about this movement and defend those who believe 9/11 did not happen on its own.
My question is how the 3 buildings apparently collapsed straight down when the towers were mostly filled with smoke and there were no major fires at the time (as a firefighter said in the North Tower he was in just minutes before the collapse). Why have statements and interviews from firefighters and others on the scene been kept from the public? Why have communication recordings been kept private? We want answers. Many people label 9/11 truthers as terrorists or conspiracy theorists. When did it become wrong to ask questions the government doesn't want to answer? When did it become treasonous to think and ask something different from what people think happened? Unless the government provides clear answers about the true happenings on 9/11 this movement will continue to grow and proclaim the truth about what really happened.

However i have read the story and seen the evidence, those towers were built to withstand a plain flying into it surely... and when you watch the towers fall it looks like explosives, i don't have any evidence it was explosives that's just the way my brain interpreted the information of watching the towers fall.

I'm a student and I went to rent a movie where they were giving away your DVD. I watched it and decided to support your petition. I'm a student in Montreal and I think it's important for me to support this. I believe there is no way the incident was only caused by the plane crashes. When you see WTC7 on fire across the street which was also destroyed it couldn't have been solely due to fire but must have involved explosives.

Controlled demolition, conventionally or nonconventionally is quite obvious, the term collapse is ambiguous.

I greatly appreciate all of the hard work and dedication of Richard and others. Clearly, one cannot see the evidence and believe the official story regarding 911. Richard, you absolutely need to debate the fine sheep at Popular Mechanics with all the new evidence collected since 2006. Every time I speak of 9/11 requiring a new investigation people raise that absurd remark stating popular mechanics debunked the conspiracy, How do they keep a straight face? Great work going up against the demo expert! I was unaware that in a debate, if you have no answer for something, you can simply deny the existence of the evidence presented. You have to get on Mainstream television!
