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'm a graduate from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I graduated Cum Laude with a 3.2 GPA in 2004 and took additional classes towards a masters degree before deciding to enter the workforce in 2006.
I was suspicious about the true causes of the collapse of the WTC towers from the time I saw them fall in real time standing in my college's commons area. The way the buildings collapsed just didn't seem right to me. I'm glad that there are other people who shared my suspicion who took their time and expertise to examine the available evidence and are now working towards informing the world about what really happened on 9/11.

I am licensed in architecture in Colorado and Arizona and have a general contracting license in Denver, Colorado. Currently I work with a local developer on multiple projects.
Having reviewed hours of internet-based testimony regarding 9/11, I conclude the facts just don't add up. I have always been careful to focus on my discipline, architecture, and not try to be a structural engineer; however, I understand enough about structural engineering to question the 9/11 Commission's conclusions. I think it is important to review all the evidence and all the theories toward a more comprehensive explanation. 9/11 in itself was a sad day, but the aftermath has been even more tragic. We don't need a witch hunt, but we do need a better understanding of the facts to aid all of us to make prudent decisions for the future of the world.

I'm a student in bio-informatics in Holland with great interest for science, especially biology (evolution), astronomy, physics and modern history. After becoming aware of the dozens or hundreds of contradictions considering the events on 9/11 I became very interested in what's might going on in the world as 9/11 influenced the entire world.
As a hobby astronomer with a lot of interest in physics I might not be an experienced engineer or architect but I think I know enough to conclude that the collapses of the buildings was absolutely not because of a structural failure in combination with gravity.

All should question the many unanswered questions surrounding the events of 9/11. No American should, at minimum, be blind to the obvious coverup regarding 9/11 and the likely possibility that it was allowed to happen, or worse, made to happen by elements of US government and corporate entities alike.

I believe that other professionals may not come forward for fear of not being taken seriously.

It wasn't hard to see a problem with the official story once I took the time to look. Common sense tells me the buildings could not possibly have disintegrated in the manner in which they did without the use of explosives. I have spent thousands of hours studying 9/11 over the past 15 months and am 100% certain in myself that the official story is a lie.

The overwhelming factual data gathered demands re-examination. For any honest person with a brain who can discern reality versus perceived reality, the law of physics is the 'cold slap' some people have decided to ignore. I believe too many people are too afraid to examine what may be true.

The American people think they can avoid the truth about 9/11 as though it is in the past and we should move on. I even heard Noam Chomsky say something to that effect when asked his views on the events of that day. Those who ignore it for whatever reason are making a grave error. It must not be ignored and treated as what it was; the genesis of a deadly disease released by greed that feeds on democracy. Ask anyone who wishes to ignore the glaring truths, If your basement gets flooded in a violent rain storm would you pretend it didn't happen? If someone told you it was not water in your basement would you not question it? Would you let the water stand? We are now dealing with the aftermath of that flood that has been neglected and the toxic mold is taking over which consumes our freedom and all that our forefathers fought for and so thoughtfully crafted into the constitution of this, now perilously threatened, republic.

The more I see the videos of the WTC buildings going down and the more information that I have looked up myself, there is no doubt in my mind that it was an inside job.It seems people cannot deal with people who think, have a conscious and are willing to risk their careers for what they believe.Patriotism is not loyalty to any individuals but loyalty to one`s country!

The unanswered questions far outweigh the explanations given for structural collapses, unexplained explosions and choices of witnesses selected to testify. Only an unbiased, objective investigation, devoid of politics, will ever lay this event to rest.

I like long walks on the beach and holding hands. But really, I am a concerned citizen in search of a real story on what happened. I believe I am being lied to by our media and government.
A friend gave me a DVD about 9/11 that raised many questions for me. So many people who were there and evacuated on that day maintain that they heard explosions happening in the building, and a large explosion in the basement before the impact of the plane. Two buildings were leveled and in only took about ten seconds. They didn't just collapse, they blew apart.

Although I am not an architect or an engineer, I tend to have an extremely inquisitive and cynical nature. I am a student of Journalism and Creative Writing, as well as a researcher and truth seeker in my private life. The families who lost loved ones on September 11th deserve to know what really happened, as do the American people.
The building collapses were far too consistent with the use of controlled demolitions, and the revelation that thermate was present in WTC 7 raises a lot of questions about the other 2 buildings as well.

I personally feel that anyone who actually believes the official story about 9/11 is reacting out of fear of the truth, rather than the truth of a 'fear campaign.' But not everyone on earth will be so willfully ignorant, especially when it comes to logical, reasonable, scientific evidence thats based on centuries of historic physics.

I am a working product designer and mother. I have been following the mystery of proposed collapse since I saw it on TV that fateful day. All of us watching commented that it looked as if it were wired to collapse on purpose, as did the late Peter Jennings.

While it is my education and course work (particularly Statics and Strength of Materials and Structural Collapse Awareness & Operations) that made me almost immediately question the collapse of the WTC buildings, it is reason that cemented my opinion that it was not just the planes that brought down these buildings! Logic dictates to even the un-initiated that it is almost an impossibility for two buildings to fall exactly in the same way and exactly upon themselves as the 2 WTC towers did!!! It makes it even more incredulous that a building that was not even hit by a plane also crumbles in the same manner within its own footprint!! It is utter nonsense!
