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 am a 10 year Naval Veteran. My specialty while in the service of this country, was an Aviation Boatswainmate FUEL specialist. I attended and graduated PETROLEUM LABORATORY SPECIALIST SCHOOL, FORT LEE, VIRGINIA. I served as a petroleum laboratory quality control specialist while stationed at U.S. Naval Air Station North Island, Coronado Island, San Diego. I tested and certified the fuel for Air Force One for then president Ronald Reagan. I have done everything with jet fuel in the laboratory environment from freezing it, to frying it in a 3000 degree crucible, and then weighing the residue on an analytical beam balance. My military training was based on the ASTM (American Standard Test Methods) for petroleum products for JP-4-5-6. As well and all forms of Diesel and heavy lubrication products such as 5190 lube oils.
I can tell you from on hands experience, that (jet fuel) did not play (any part) in burning steel in the buildings that collapsed on 9/11. IT IS VIRTUALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! Our government planned and executed this disaster, for a pretext of revenge and for an unjustified war, on the part of the Military Industrial Complex.

On 9/11 I was scheduled to attend a meeting at the Pentagon regarding a project I was doing for the Navy. I know we were not told the truth about what happened there or in New York. Highrise buildings do not collapse from fire, and the WTC buildings were designed to withstand being hit by airplanes. We clearly need an unbiased investigation into these events.

Occupation: Electronics Engineer
BS in Physics UMCP, MS in EE/CS UCB. I have 37 years of experience designing electronics for satellites and ground based astronomy.
Fire on a few floors does not remove all structural support of a 110 story structure. Below the fire was unaffected steel and concrete with a design strength to support five times the weight of the building. Any collapse would have stopped immediately at a few floors. Instead we are told to believe 110 floors of structure magically and instantaneously turned into butter allowing the free fall of the building. Collapse cannot cause the concrete of the whole building to turn to dust. There would be a pile of concrete rubble in the building foot print or nearby. Instead 90% of buildings 1 & 2 are spread all over lower Manhattan as fine dust. This is blatantly not believable!

I feel that there is some very serious discrepancies surrounding 9/11 and all the events that took place. I don't understand the United States Government could have responded in the way that they did. When President Bush was in the classroom and was advised that a 2nd plane had crashed into the 2nd tower and that a 3rd plane was in the air that was possibly hi-jacked how he could have sat there listening to my pet goat.... There are too many issues to list here but I think that the US Government was responsible in some way.

English teacher resident in China. I have studied the 911 issue in depth from all angles and am totally persuaded as a rational clear thinking and scientific minded person that the official version of events is totally untrue.
Absolutely not because of fires. suspicious behavior from planted witnesses such as actor wearing Harley shirt, Pentagon studio guest with alleged aircraft part, SUV driver ( see Rick Leaventhal on Fox) etc planted engine parts at WTC Murray and small pieces of alleged wreckage at pentagon Suspicious immediate commentary from the likes of Jerome Hauer on CBS suspicious behaviour from foreign nationals in NY and evidence that firms with contracts to guard US airports and CCTV footage non forthcoming Body of evidence is totally overwhelming and I have reviewed official versions from BBC Nova and National Geographic and found them totally pitiful

I have attained no technical certification in any field. I am an artist, environmental activist and US citizen who would like the truth of the events of 911 to be investigated by a credible independent 3rd party and published for all to see.
I have been in many redwood forests where trees that were either the victims of fire, lightning strikes or fungus lie on their sides. The towers which were comparable to trees in stature came straight down causing no damage to surrounding structures. I find this to be highly improbable if the cause of their fall was the impact of the plane or fire as we have been told. The collapse of the towers was not natural.

Too many inconsistencies in the official story. Hijackers are alive. What was contained in building 7 not hit by plane, raises serious questions. The media coverage that day on all networks on a second and third glance looks really odd. The list goes on ever increasing facets arise.

I recently attended the Baptist Peacemakers of North America conference at Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY and viewed the DVD. I purchased it and reviewed it today. I am a member of the Baptist Peacemakers of RI where we meet bi-monthly. I am a retired elementary school teacher.
Having viewed the DVD 9/11 Blueprint for Truth, I am convinced that a further investigation is needed. The theory of demolition vs. fire seems plausible. Why would the steel girders have melted?

There is sufficient (overwhelming) evidence that warrants a new investigation into the verifiable cause of the events of 9/11/2001. Until the truth is told about this obvious massive coverup, the Federal government along with its collaborators, especially the Congress and Senate, various intelligence agencies, and investigative media entities, is in my estimation a farce. Most of the rest of the world knows this. The leadership of this nation both public and private is a disgrace, to put it mildly. Thank you AE 911 Truth for all you have done. You are a bright light in a very dark America.

Spent 24 years working at the Montreal Gazette, 8 years externally and 14 in the circulation department, when Canwest closed our department to have it centralized in Winnipeg two years ago. Have since followed my passion of astrology and been self-employed, selling astrological products such as birthday cards and hand made jewelry. Am currently working on teaching an astrology class for beginners and looking to expand the reach of Astrology Montreal.
The first alarm bells went off for me when I watched the documentary Zeitgeist, which provided an attempt at a why. What followed were two years of researching the how and trying to sort out the information. A & E 911 Truth (along with globalresearch.ca) was invaluable in that respect. Nothing about the official theory makes sense - not the way the towers fell uncharacteristically and like none other, ever, in history; not the fact that it took years to investigate (when it only took 9 days to look into the Katrina disaster); not the fact that the 911 Commission ignored a full third of the evidence (WTC 7); not the fact that the physical evidence was hauled off to China at 800 truckloads per day illegally, and certainly not the fact that the implosion of WTC 7 was announced on CNN and the BBC 20 minutes prior to actually coming down. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

I am a forty year old former teacher now working in marketing as a copywriter, graphic designer, and creative manager. I've been interested in the controversy surrounding the 9/11 tragedy since March of 2002 and have spent countless hours of my spare time researching it and encouraging other to do so. Other than my own small business I have no official affiliation to any group or political party whatsoever. I am a moderate but progressive political realist.
I believe the structural collapses of these buildings should be investigated purely on the basis of my own reasoning and reading. I have no technical expertise in the field other than a layman's interest in physics and 6 years of experience in interior systems construction that paid my way through University. I subscribe to no conspiracy theories whatsoever. I simply want to see a scientific investigation of this terrible tragedy and believe the conclusions from such an investigation themselves will show whether or not their has been a conspiracy beyond that proposed by the US government.

I am a 57 yr-old salesman - no AE qualifications - but possess a modicum of common-sense, have studied the WTC attacks, and am convinced ( thanks to experts like yourselves) that the official version is a lie. I am married with 2 children.
At first, like most people, I swallowed the official li(n)e, but having studied other events e.g. Kennedy assassination, in detail, felt something was amiss -- then saw Loose Change, 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions dvd -- that was it for me. A small point -- I was particularly struck with the heart-rending radio call from Fire Chief Orio Palmer in the tower just before it collapsed , where-in he said the fires could be handled with 2 lines ( 2 hoses?) and I thought that the perpetrators would likely be listening to emergency dispatches -- I figured that if they thought the fires were doused then their cover would be blown, and maybe that was why they decided to demolish shortly after - just speculating

What i have learned in my engineering studies suggest that the truth about the towers has not yet been told. It simply is not possible that the towers fell due to the given reasons.
I have read about a missile on the second plane that was launched just before the plane hit the tower. Also evidence pointing toward controlled demolition charges exploding are around. I want to see what strong (scientific) evidence there is to support these claims?
