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 have examined all the evidence from a wealth of highly qualified scientists, engineers, professionals, experts and specialists I could find, and see no grounds for continuing to believe that the events of 9/11 were the result of a terrorist attack on the United States. It is a travesty of international justice and human rights that there has not been a full independent enquiry and full freedom of the press, and yet legislation has still been passed restricting the rights of individuals all over the world as a result of the perceived threat of islamicist terror mongering.

I am interested in patterns of U.S. News media. Explication of events and circumstances like the wtc destruction.
at the time, the 9/11/01 incident in Manhattan seemed so orchestrated; I'm grateful to see that logic being pursued still. I would appreciate information on how to display the Richard Gage dvd publicly. thanks much for the lucid effort.

Controlled demolition is the most logical explanation for the collapse of the WTC. If a fire could cause such devastation, no one would be allowed to live and work in high rises. The risk would be too high. If the official story was true, the government would be looking to blame (prosecute) the designers, architects, engineers of WTC for ineptitude.

Worked for 30 years as a structural engineer in New Jersey, Colorado, and Nevada. Designed as project engineer a variety of structures including Bridges, High-rise office commercial buildings, parking structures, Project Manager Mirage hotel (Las Vegas) , Part of team on Bank One Ballpark Pheonix, Arizona, and many other structural related projects.
I believe the official story defies my experience. Based on my years of structural experience, and after my study of videos of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7, I believe the events of September 11, 2001 could not have occurred as stated. From videos of the collapse of building 7, the penthouse drops first prior to the collapse, and it can be noted that windows, in a vertical line, near the location of first interior column line are blown out , and reveal smoke from those explosions. This occurs in a vertical line in symmetrical fashion an equal distance in toward the center of the building from each end. When compared to controlled demolitions, one can see the similarities.

Building Science and Technology expert. Building Information Modeling expert. Deep science background with some Engineering school experience. Well read, love history, politically active. Part of the Reality Based Universe, so I am Progressive. I have a LIBERAL Arts Degree in addition to my Architecture Degree.
Always thought there was something fishy about this. If there is nothing to hide, then why are they hiding everything? Originally from Maine, I grew up in a somewhat conservative family and when I could vote for the first time I voted for Nixon. History has shown that I made a massive mistake and feel I owe George McGovern an apology for believing Nixon's lies about him, especially after reading about McGovern's WWII bomber pilot exploits in Stephen Ambrose's excellent book 'The Wild Blue'. While discussing politics with a conservative friend, he asked me how my political views could change from being conservative to Liberal. My response was I got an education. That's what we need here. We need to learn the truth, educate people, and take steps to ensure this never happens again. Remember The Maine!

Born in Iran, came to US in 1976 at age 10. Received BSME in 1992. mainly do structural related mechanical engineering work. Have been very vocal about the events on 9/11/01 since 9/11/01. It has been the most painful event in my life, has caused me incredible grief and set me back in life, but I believe that if the real truth about those events does not surface, there will be no healing, and the world will be destined to lose its humanity and self destruct completely.
From the time that I watched the planes hit the towers that Tuesday morning, I completely believed that those planes could not maneuver themselves that accurately without the level of expertise that only the military of united States can have. The fact that the height difference between the first and second tower impacts was considerable, the mass of the building in the first tower hit above the impact point had to be on the order of 1/3 to 1/2 that of the second tower. That mass difference should have manifested itself in different crash behavior, yet both towers collapsed in exactly the same manner! Building 7 was so obviously demolished by internal explosive that the government story was never anything by a comic farse to me. God bless those brave enough to not let the true perpetrators get away with what they have done to this planet and this humanity.

Virginia architect, now retired.
There are powerful interests who do not want the facts of 9/11 known or it would have been investigated as a crime immediately. The challenge will be finding an investigator fearless enough to go wherever the facts lead, but if there is such a person in the US, he or she would never be appointed to lead an investigation of 9/11. Therefore it's equally or maybe even more important to uncover the facts and publicize them, as AE911truth.org is doing. That needs to happen before 9/11 goes down the memory hole.

I have never seen such blatant lies as the official statements on what happened. Anyone with common sense can see those buildings, particularly No. 7, did not come down in the way the government said. People need to start thinking for themselves instead of swallowing the garbage coming over the media streams. The biggest give away was the speed with which the sites were cleared up.

There are too many obvious 1st time in history events that occurred on 9/11. The chances for everything to line up from the Hijackers names not on the passenger lists to not finding the black boxes to buildings falling at free fall took a massive coordinated effort at many levels.

To me the collapse of building 7 defies the laws of physics in so much that it was not hit by any aircraft, sustained only minimal damage due to fire yet collapsed into its own footprint at almost free-fall speed.

There are so many bits of information on this subject that don't add up. Watch the John Lear videos on YouTube. He is a top pilot and all the evidence he gives makes me believe that this was done to start a war in Iraq. Read 'War is a racket' by General Smedley Butler to read why countries will always send soldiers to fight somewhere. Mass Governmental Corruption. You could see the bombs exploding on the films and why did tower 7 collapse? No explanation for this is there?

the official story is far from answering the legitimate questions people have and some basic facts; steel structured buildings never collapsed in history, building 7 was not hit by planes, found termite comes from where, etc.

It is obvious that three buildings cannot collapse at free fall speed with no resistance from the steel structure without controlled demolition being involved.

From time time I've encountered challenging information about the events of 9/11. I talk about information which doesn't fit to the official story. I talk about information which has been neglected in the official story. I talk about facts that many eye witnesses and scientists have pointed out. I talk about facts that will better explain how the buildings collapsed. A new research must be done on the scientific ground. All the facts that the official story has been unacceptable to explain must be taken on account. The real explanation must fit to evidence of facts.

it defies the laws of gravity there is proof without a doubt that the buildings did not collapse the way they are said to be.. they had to be brought down by explosives.

It appears the World Trade Tower buildings fell in a manner impossible without additional assistance in the destruction of the core of the structures. The denial evident in the discussion of the the three towers' collapse along with the mind boggling explanation for the Pentagon explosion, can only invite skepticism and foster cynicism if not contempt.
