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.

Tower 5 burned and burned and burned, never fell. Tower 7 hardly burned at all, and fell after Silverstein admittedly said Pull it and 20 minutes AFTER the BBC reported it. What happened at the other locations gets so much attention, but there is enough evidence in these 2 unheard of buildings to warrant ANY investigation into their collapse. After all, they are not mentioned in the official report, so they have not been officially investigated, right?

I am a member of a long line of commercial/industrial building contractors. My immediate family has been erecting steel-frame buildings in New York since the 1940s. I personally worked in the building trades for over ten years. As general contractors, we have hired other forces to take down large buildings using controlled demolition in order to pave the way for our new construction.
Using the naked eye alone, it is nearly irrefutable that the twin towers, as well as WTC Building 7, were brought down using controlled demolition. Steel-frame structures behave like steel-frame structures...EVERY TIME. There is only one way to explain the uniformity and symmetry with which the 9/11 buildings fell: controlled demolition.

Simply amazed at how there has been no real investigation into what happened on 9/11 2001. As a constructor / designer of buildings via CAD + 3D Software, A well astute understanding of how buildings are put together and how extremely strong and tough they are, to be demolished... It just doesn't happen without planned intervention. Simple as that! No matter what way it gets dressed up, the pancake affect did not take the buildings down. The facts and evidence is there, provided by vasts amounts of people, established people expressing their doubts about how many things happened on that day. I'm 100% positive that the two towers could not have collapsed the way the 9/11 Commission report has explained, without even getting into building 7.

No architectural training, but through using my common sense, and paying attention, I have come to have serious doubts about the official story, and feel it is imperative that we have a full and independent investigation.
there are far too many unanswered questions and stories from individuals which I have heard that do not fit the official story, and videos of the Bldg. 7 collapse which show classic planned demolition characteristics, as well as reports of unexplained explosions from eyewitnesses. If there is nothing to hide, there can be no harm in a full, independent and transparent investigation, which could put this whole matter to rest for many of us who don't think we have the whole truth about Sept. 11.

I am formally educated in technology to the technician level in several fields (IHAWK SAM sys + all areas automotive tech and ASE certified). I stopped watching TV in 1982. I am self educated in many subjects - certainly enough in physics to recognize that the Trade Center towers could not have collapsed the way they did as a result of the collisions and fire damage only.
Until the American public shakes off the trauma of watching the events of 911 for several days, takes a look at the mountain of evidence now easily available and insists that the criminals responsible are brought to justice, the LACK of full faith and confidence in the American people, which is the only value of our fiat paper currency, will continue. The identification of, and prosecution of the real culprits is a prerequisite to the restoration of America. Thank you AE911 for leading the way.

I received my degree in geography, specifically regional development which involves studying how cities develop, including why they thrive and fail, and the sociological, economic, anthropological, and engineering aspects therein. I currently work for a small wireless communications company; while also preparing to apply for graduate school degrees in law and business.
I believe the citizens of the United States have the right to hear the truth regarding this disaster. It is certainly a matter of possible treason for lawmakers to ignore valid questions regarding the razing of these buildings without so much as a thorough investigation by multiple third parties not having any connection to the officials conducting said investigation. The 9/11 commission was an obvious affront to the educated individuals possessing first hand knowledge of architecture and engineering. My family and I have talked ad nausea about the subject and I am glad something is being done to allow the truth to see the light of day; if nothing else other than out of compassion for the thousands that died that day.

I am a jack of all trades, business analyst by day and artist by night. But my true passion has always been the study of human behavior. I am also, for the most part, a passivist. I feel that conflict can be resolved through intellect. As a victim of violence in my past I am strongly against war and violence.
There are many examples of buildings burning for hours and not falling down like the twin towers did. There is televised video of victims (and journalists) from 911 claiming that they heard, felt and were injured by explosions on the ground floor...and yet this was never questioned or addressed. Police officers somehow knew the buildings would fall...how??? The firemen that risked their lives that day thought they could put the fires out (according to documented transmissions). But then we see the buildings fall to the ground in 10 seconds. We hear Larry Silverstein said to pull building seven - that is a demolition word. We hear about FBI confiscating security camera video around the pentagon...why?? We see a hole so small...and claims that the explosion vaporized the plane when somehow the bodies were identified?!?! How on earth was a passport from one of the terrorists found in the twin tower rubble? Why no black boxes?? Why were the members of the Bin Laden family the only humans allowed to fly out of the US that day? Why were cell phone calls made from only one plane...and then how were they so clear?!?! And to top it all off, the world trade centers were scrapped and made into what? A warship?!?! How ironic. There is an act of treason here, and not necessarily from a bunch of Arabic terrorists.

After watching the dvd 9/11 truth multiple times and understanding the physics of how buildings fall, many questions and concerns were swept into the dust following 9/11. There are (were) many heroic people who risked their lives because they believe in this country and all of us deserve the truth!

When we first saw TV footage of the Twin Towers collapsing I knew intuitively that this was a control demolition operation. The buildings fell quickly, from the top down, into their own footprints. My husband is an architect and he concurred with me. I have researched a number of web sites since then to try to learn the truth. For far too long there has been a cover-up. The time has now come for a full disclosure to be made on what really happened during that day. The truth must finally prevail.

I am not an Architect, nor an Engineer. I am simply a mom of 3 with common sense, searching for the truth.
From all the information from various sources, I am reluctant to believe that these buildings were destroyed in the way that the Government would like us to believe. All the evidence suggests otherwise. It is alarming and disheartening to think that the Government either does not care about the truth, or worse, thinks that the American people are naive enough to believe what we are told despite common sense that points elsewhere.

I was born in New York City and have a brother who wrote a book on the WTC published in 2000. I am fairly well educated on 9/11 truth and hope to become more active in the movement possibly starting an organization in central Vermont.
The frustrating thing to me and I'm sure to others as well, is that it has to be possible to completely rule out the official theory--effectively proving controlled demolition even without any of the forensic evidence-- by the video evidence alone: There is no pile driver as is pointed out by Richard in either tower! It should be conclusively calculated that the top block of floors can not crush the bottom floors under any circumstances, but without a pile driver--which from the video evidence it can be proven dose not exist--there is know mechanism available and the official explanation is gone. The odds should also effectively disprove the idea that one skyscraper could collapse symmetrically as the result of asymmetrical damage. The odds that this could occur three times in one day have to be zero.

My educational path towards understanding Canada's monetary policy led me to support the Canadian Action Party for political change, yet their 'controversial' position on the official 9/11 story didn't sit right with me. So I started researching on 9/11 and came across an interview Richard Gage did with Alex Jones. Shortly after I begun watching Blueprint for Truth via the ae911truth website, and became convinced that these towers must have been brought down by explosives.
It's hard to imagine how I ever believed jet fuel and a few office fires could have reduced 80,000 tons of structural steel and reinforced concrete to dust. Even if the planes were enough to severely damage the structure of the buildings, it wouldn't have collapsed through the path of greatest resistance. And it wouldn't have reduced the buildings to dust. I remember the day it happened, how surprised I was when I learned that there was nothing left, both buildings were just pulverized. Yet it wasn't until 8 years later that I finally understood why.

On the day 9/11 happened it was obvious that the buildings were rigged with expolsives otherwise they would never have come down. The question was WHO, and now through the following sequence of events since then that question has been answered as well. I stand with you in that the fraud needs to be fully exposed .
