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.

One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I am a Vietnam War veteran who served two tours, and have been a registered professional engineer for 24 years.
I witnessed the first tower fall and thought the symmetric collapse very unusual but thought with an exact combination of circumstances, it could happen, but the chances were the same as winning a lottery. When the second tower collapsed, I became very skeptical and remain so. The third building collapsing erases any possibility of this attack being conducted without on-the-ground support. I believe the air attack was known prior to the attack and used as a diversion to demolish the buildings for some yet unknown reason.

I saw it on TV - the second tower hit live. I immediately commented to other science professionals in the room the planes must have carried bombs that generated super intense heat - it was no 'gravity fall' or airplane fuel fire that punched the towers straight down like they were built with 0 eccentricity!!! But today, 9/9/16 I received my first AE for Truth flyer. I had no idea other professionals had so gathered to document what the trained eye knew to be true. Your flyer gave me the link I knew had to exist but had no evidence of - thermite!!!!

It is ludicrous that the 911 commission did not investigate the possibility of intentional demolition by use of explosives of the 3 world trade center towers. I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty. It needs to be repealed after a REAL investigation of the events of 9/11 brings out the truth of what happened on that day.

I studied in the Engineering college of Geneva. My principal subjects were nuclear physic, materials knowledge, and electronics. I'm currently working in measurement electronics.
When I saw the collapse for the first time in 2001, I only thought it was strange that the towers did not fall against the others but only on their own footprint. In 2006 I studied this question seriously and concluded the collapse could not have been possible without explosives put inside the buildings.

I am not a scientist, but I like to think that I know steel. I don't believe for a minute that a kerosene based fuel is going to weaken any of the WTC buildings. I also know that an aluminum, steel and titanium plane is not going to incinerate in the Pentagon. I believe we have been lied to in order to cover up the fact that our government either executed these attacks or let them happen.

As a concerned citizen I simply cannot believe the official explanations about the collapses. It has never happened before in the entire world that steel framed buildings have collapsed due to fire. It makes no sense that 3 buildings fell at free fall speed and dropped into their own footprint on the same day. It would be to a terrorist advantage if the buildings had came down sideways as the damage would have been much greater.

We must accept, as fact, that the 911 and anthrax attacks were perpetrated by elements within our own government to generate a climate of terror; within which a global corporatocracy, using shock and awe capitalism and pre-emptive war could attack and undermine the sovereignty of nations, the international rule of law and the human rights of man, and erect a global police state structure to take its place, with the purpose of preserving this new planet-wide oligarchic structure.

I have studied everything I can about 911. I am absolutely certain that building 7 was demolished. I have tried to share this with my closest friends and without exception they don't want to know. I have drawn them diagrams, shown them videos of the collapse and asked them to argue with me if they disagree with what I am suggesting. They simply switch off and change the subject. It's gonna be a long hard road and I'm going to keep staggering down it until the World gets some JUSTICE.

Fire has never brought down steel framed buildings, there's no reason why that should have changed on only one day. I believe Congress has a duty to look into the questions that continue to be unanswered like how our military let four planes fly around when they were knowingly hijacked.

It is indeed frustrating to anyone who examines the scientific facts re: 9/11 destruction of Twin Towers and Bldg 7, to witness the stonewalling by our politicians, office holders, including President Obama, all of whom have turned a blind eye to the evidence of foul play that goes far beyond the 'official' conspiracy theory. The psyche of the American nation has been deeply wounded by the official shroud placed over the crimes associated with the 9/11 disaster. Of course, the immediate sequence to 9/11 is our 14 years of unending warfare in the ME resulting in the loss of well over a million lives, widespread destruction, political and social upheaval,and an increase in the radicalization of peoples leading to the increase in the terrorism we witness today. America will never be at peace until all the known facts concerning 9/11 are disclosed.

Nowadays there are a lot of opinions in the Internet showing that the official version cannot be correct: - in 2001 it was impossible to communicate with mobiles from high-speed aircraft (so, the recordings of mobile talks between the passengers and their relatives are fake) - the way how WTC collapsed looks like controlled demolition, - lots and lots of other evidence.

When I was growing up, my parents held me accountable and they instilled that quality into my character. My parents also taught me to be patriotic, loyal, and believe in our democratic U.S. government because it is accountable and exists for the benefit of society in this country. I was a 3.8 GPA student; graduated from high school in 3 years; didn't finish college; studied piano and cello at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for 5 years; worked as a paralegal in Colorado, Nevada, Louisiana, and California. I worked as administrative assistant to a high school district superintendent for more than 23 years. I have been breeding and raising Lipizzaner horses for 24 years, which has given me experience and familiarity with: biology; disease prevention and immunization issues; fetal development & birthing; medical diagnostic equipment & surgical interventions; , emergency response to trauma; genetics; use of leverage to manipulate objects ten times one's own size; identification of safe zones and predicted most likely next events. I was widowed when my two children were very young, and raised them alone. They grew up to be fine citizens with college degrees and professional careers, and they are loving, responsible parents.
I have grave concerns that the truth about the WTC collapse is not known to the people of the United States. I just recently became aware of the obvious discrepancies and have done extensive research. Maybe it is my deep patriotic loyalty that made me blind for the past 8 years to this unbelievable lack of accountability on the part of our elected representatives to seek and make known the absolute truth. This patriotic blindness may also be true for many millions of Americans and perhaps our elected officials in Washington.

Homeschooling mother, patriot and truth seeker. Found out the real reason for the 9-11 attacks after finding out about Ron Paul, I jumped right down the proverbial rabbit hole!
The day it happened, I remember explicitly wondering why they were taking down the buildings. I thought since the damage was mostly at the top of the building, the buildings could have been saved. I had no idea at that time that the lobbies had been blown out. My husband and I have watched over 30 documentaries on 9-11. To me, there is no question they were a controlled demolition.

tapering steel support columns, thickening towards the base of towers would not fail from a collapsed top section of a few floors. The steel structure was over designed to take impact / fire. The failure appears to have been assisted as it fell.

The controlled demolition was evident from the very first collapse. Anyone with even a small amount of knowledge of jet fuel, knew that could not have possibly caused all the outward explosions of steel beams and pulverized concrete that we saw and heard that morning. This is the greatest deception of our lifetimes. It is time to DEMAND the truth.
