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.

Having re-looked at the footage recently and thought about how buildings actually perform in the event of fire (regardless of cause), I realized that planes alone could not bring down / pulverize a building into dust! This is a simple fact. If you consider that all the floors below the plane strikes were untouched by fire or impact (the towers were built to withstand plane strikes)... their structural strength would be intact and therefore could NOT simply collapse.

Let's use some common sense and investigate this properly please. It doesn't take rocket science to know that SOMETHING strange happened. Even a layperson can, having watched buildings being professionally brought down on TV for years can tell...this sure looks like the same thing! How can heat from above cause a building to collapse from the bottom? It makes no sense.

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 come from a long family lineage of fire fighters and rescue workers. Quietly spoken conversations among fire fighters speak of explosions taking place that were very distant from the impact zones. Those workers refrain from speaking about these incidents publicly for personal and family safety reasons. The gut feeling among some of the rescue workers were that they were walking into sure death. Their job was their duty and would not/could not disobey orders to march forward.

I was just in New York over the Holidays. It has been 6 years since I visited ground zero and it was a very good feeling to see that the foundations are being built and that the target date for the opening of the memorial and entire Trade Center Site will be on September 11, 2011. To this day, something has never set right in my gut about why it happened, what the truth is behind the terrorists involved. How could they have collapsed when the Jet Fuel should never of melted the steel framing. Who was really invoked in the scheme? So much about the whole incident that doesn't sit right. We as a country were so in shock that we just accepted what was told to us. I just want to know the truth!!!!!!

I am not a believer in what the media feeds us so i came across this website in a book by Jim Marrs and i had to check it out. Just because i am not an architect or an engineer does not make the facts any less obvious to me.
From looking at any other footage of a controlled demolition, it is obvious that the WTC was not the first steel reinforced high rise to fall from a fire. Although that is what the official government report claims. It's sickening to realize that if not our government, something higher, killed all of those people for an excuse to go into the middle east to kill more people. the more you look, the more you will find, and if you don't the people that are really in charge are glad to keep it that way. we need an independent investigation to show the main stream the truth, I encourage and support this websites cause.

I'm a 9/11 researcher and like many people, i watched many videos concerning the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. The most non-sense thing about it all, is that building 7...It collapsed without being hit !!! It is more than suspicious for me.
Controlled demolition...no doubt at all. I think that the building 7 is the key to all of that...It collapsed without being hit by anything and we can clearly see in the videos that all the 3 buildings collapsed by a control demolition way.

Through continuous research, I educate myself on issues/topics that interest me. Ever since 2004, I have been actively targeting 9/11, specifically my No planes theory. Other areas of interest to me are archeology, astrology and history.
Taking physics into account when reviewing the collapse of the two World Trade Center buildings, it is more than obvious that there was assistance through explosives in bringing them down. The buildings, collapsing on their own, would not have produced dust as a result. Also, there is no way that free-fall speeds would have been produced if this was a natural collapse.

I had been an engineering student at one time at the University of Utah and studied undergraduate math and physics. I was involved in an accident and became paralyzed from the waist down around that time (1984). After the rehab, I entered school simply to get a degree of some kind in order to work. So I obtained a Business Degree. However, the math and physics I did have was more than enough to make me question the way the Towers and Building 7 fell on 9/11/01. I had my first (of many) 911 was an inside job arguments on the very afternoon. At that time, I did not believe that those buildings could fall symmetrically through the path of greatest resistance. I subsequently learned much more from others' criticisms - especially Ahmed, Hoffman, Jones, Griffin, Ryan, and now Gage. For about 7 years after the events, I would frequently argue online with people about 911. It became kind of a sport for me. I found that it was very easy to win arguments about various aspects of the building collapses. I enjoy the game of chess. Arguing about 911 gives me the same sort of thrill that playing chess does. But you know what? It looks like the tournament is nearly over.
It doesn't take an advanced degree to notice that very good, pointed questions have been repeatedly asked over the years by highly qualified people, all to no avail. The events of 911 are extremely curious and strange. Let's dig into that mystery!

I've seen many videos and movies and as a spectator a couple of buildings that were imploded, and I watched several videos of the WTC collapses, and I cannot believe that one plane hit one building, and a second plane hit the second building and unbelievably three buildings collapsed as though the bottom was pulled out from all three buildings. I didn't believe it when it happened and I don't believe it now. I guess the Empire State Building was built with Magic Materials whereas it had sustained a minimal amount of damage compared to the WTC.

I manage for a gourmet grocery store that I have been employed with for 23 years. I enjoy reading and studying true mysteries and am hoping that unresolved 9-11 events will be officially addressed and answered.
There are so many unresolved questions surrounding the 9/11 events that need to be officially addressed. Notably, the elapsed time from the impacts of the airplanes to the collapses of the world trade center buildings which were built to withstand exactly that type of impact. Also, their collapse in a free-fall manner with evidence of molten steel suggests events occurred which are different from the official explanation. I believe there is a possibility that sabotage separate from plane crashes may have played a role and that all of the available evidence be re-examined to remove all doubt of a wide ranging conspiracy that has not been publicly revealed.

I remember seeing the first twin tower collapse live on television. It seemed unreal - but I believed what we were told via the media. It was a few years later when I saw the 'Loose Change' second edition film that woke me up. Physics does not explain how those buildings came down from a plane crash only (building 7 did not even get hit). It seems that any switched on child could see that there was more to this - yet still there is a lot of people who still can't see it - 'it is in your face'.

Everything known about the collapse of the three towers contradicts the transparently false, official story. For example, why was weapons grade, nanothermite found in the dust? Why did the lead hijacker live with a stripper in Venice, Fl. and why were he and his associates regulars in local strip bars, where they openly snorted cocaine and drank heavily on a nightly basis when they were supposed to be religious fanatics preparing to give their lives for their beliefs? There are over a hundred facts and questions that must be openly addressed.

After studying multiple sources about the events of 9/11, I have reached the conclusion that all three WTC buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. There are numerous pieces of evidence that point to this conclusion. The most notable is the evidence of Thermate residue found in 9/11 dust samples. Clearly, 9/11 was an inside job. Former president George W. Bush, Vice-president Dick Cheney, and many other senior Bush administration officials need to be held accountable for the 9/11 tragedy. Let justice be sought once and for all. Open another independent inquiry concerning the evidence surrounding 9/11.
