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.

Even before I saw the AE911Truth videos, I believed that WTC 1, 2, and 7 did not collapse as a result of fire, or being struck by airliners. I agreed with Dan Rather, when he said that it looked like a controlled demolition, since I'd seen videos of buildings that were brought down with that method. AE911Truth has convinced me this is the case. We need a timely investigation because there are still many individuals who know exactly what happened and how. We need to question them under oath as soon as possible, or we will lose the opportunity.

Electronic engineer interested in structural information regarding the Twin Towers and the real truth behind the demolition. Also wondering why non biased media still states the demolition as a terrorist attack. I guess they must be referring to the us republican government as terrorists!?
It hugely concerns me that mass genocide can be committed by a government on it's own country; looks very much like a detonation to me, amazing how the buildings fall straight down, and you can even see charges blowing out the sides as the collapse occurs. Buildings designed to withstand the impact, and yet they fall? separate testimonies please!!! it must be hard to admit to the truth of killing that many people, but then i guess cover ups are a common political move.

I'm just an observer from this side of the pond, that's seen his country sucked into this world mess! Ive been learning what i can and believe me,when you link all the dots together the twin towers isn't the 1st, wont be the last as is just tip of the ice-berg.
9/11 is a very small but very public part of a huge picture that's been going on since your country signed over its power to the Federal Reserve in 1913.Pearl Harbor was known about and allowed to happen,the Oklahoma truck bomber was an identical if not smaller forerunner to 9/11,and identical after effects, I'd recommend you check out 9/11, globalization and total war a talk given by Michel Chossudovsky on brasschecktv.com or the film improbable collapse directed by Michael Berger and then start looking at who and why questions,just for starters the CIA invented Al Qaueda and work hand in hand with them, the head of the Islamic terrorist network was having meeting in your own white house with Ms Rice over the 9/11 period, Bin Laden was laid in a hospital bed in the middle of a CIA hot spot over the 9/11 period.Then start looking at how many companies have made billions out it, security companies in Iraq and Afghanistan,rebuilding Iraq,building huge military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Patriot Act and who gains from that,your privately owned Federal Reserve where all the moneys coming from,the oil contracts and new oil pipelines,UK/USA now control over 36% of the worlds oil,it simply goes on and on and on,no-ones going to investigate it, there is too much blackmail money on offer and if anyone did get a backbone and wouldn't get impeded at every turn to look into it, would simply turn up dead.

I feel that to story given the to American populous was inaccurate and that the the many reports on the collapses did not give a sufficient explanation to obvious incongruities between the official story and the visual evidence.

An American citizen born and raised in Maryland. I feel like it is my right as a citizen to know the truth about what has happened on 9/11. I've been lied to by our leaders for long enough and deserve an explanation.
I'm concerned about the timing of the collapse of the towers. And, also the near perfect landing of each tower as if it were a controlled demolition. The event just seems to perfect to have been caused by airplanes that would have normally disintegrated upon impact. Not to mention any fuel fire I've witnessed during a traffic accident seems to burn out rather quickly. The amount of fuel in those 2 planes combined could not equal the amount that is carried by a fully loaded tanker truck. Especially after having flown for 90 minutes to their final destination.

In my honest opinion, after a careful viewing of independent facts, studies, and also personally being at the site of a building take-down I believe the WTC 1,2,7 were taken down deliberately by means of controlled demolition. I have also seen Larry Silverstein's PBS interview that WTC was decided to be pulled, how could this have been done in just a few hours, it is impossible, it takes weeks of planning, and then some more time.

Towers fell at nearly free fall speed. How is that possible? 110 stories with no resistance from the floors (reinforced steel & concrete) below it. The floors must have been blown up internally. Jet fuel can not cut through steel.

I was born, I live and will one day die. Nothing important about me.
There is no way in hell that all 3 buildings would collapse at free fall speeds through the path of the greatest resistance. Even if all supports in all 3 buildings melted at exactly the same time. The tops would have fallen to one side or another unless the bottom supports were blown out prior to the collapse.

I believe our nation as well as the world needs to know the truth behind the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. America should not only how things happened, but who was responsible. I believe everything ranging from eyewitnesses to the media and the Bush administration should be carefully and thoroughly analyzed/investigated in an aggressive effort to repair our mistrust of our own government as well as restore America's credibility throughout the world.
I have seen documentary films regarding theories of the Collapses and for someone as skeptical as myself, too many unanswered questions as well as controversial circumstances surrounding 9/11 have caused me to believe there is strong evidence that 9/11 was a planned and coordinated series of events.

Michael Ryan received his bachelor of architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, and Florence, Italy in 1985. In the same year he moved to Milan and joined Sottsass Associates. Both as a partner from 1989 to 2001, and for his solo studio, mmRyan, active since 1988, he has done numerous projects in the fields of architecture, interior design, industrial design and urban planning. He has also conducted seminars and workshops at various Italian and foreign universities and institutes as well as participating in group and solo shows both in Italy and abroad.
Ample evidence has surfaced since the events occurred which require that this case be reopened and independently studied. Substantial doubt about the 911 Commission's findings is warranted. This must be top on the agenda of the next administration. To advance credible, alternative hypotheses as to what happened without further investigation, however, is at best conjecture. We need to reopen this investigation.

It is imperative that an independent, non-biased, truthful study be conducted on what really happened to cause these buildings to collapse. We, the people, need to seek out and find the truth.

Truly believe, based on all my research, that these buildings were imploded. Therefore, someone had to be involved in putting these explosive devices in the buildings. Do not believe that Osama Bin Laden carried this out. If not him, who could it have been?

I am a professional musician but prior to college achieved perfect grades in math and science, and was very interested in physics...it would surely have been my other career choice had music not been a particular talent. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Michigan and a Master's Degree from the Yale University, where I majored in music and (at both institutions) took courses in the history of architecture. I also took a course in philosophy and the history of proving arguments. I consider myself highly educated, pragmatic, cynical...not easily fooled, and rely on instances of incontrovertible fact (scientific method) to support arguments rather than gut feelings.
It amazes me that Building 7 has been swept under the rug, and that anyone who thinks about physics in even an abstract or rudimentary way (separated from science or mathematics) cannot see the obvious impossibility that the towers pancaked in under ten seconds at free fall speed leaving no piles of pancaked floors whatsoever. From learning (on your site and others) of the presence of microscopic spherical metal droplets in the vast acres of concrete dust which are the buildings' primary remains, I concur that they were exploded with an extremely well-engineered methodology.

I seek the truth. I want to see all the lies exposed to all those humans who have suffered because of the corruption of a few. I am interested in helping the cause to make sure that people's minds are no longer fooled. As Gandhi said, when I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall--think of it, always.
Well done! The analysis, the facts, the presentation all will amount to one day having the real story. I cannot thank you enough...it is people like you that should be in charge of this country. Leaders don't inflict pain. They bear pain. - Max DePree

As an avid CSPAN watcher I happened upon Dr. Stephen Jones speaking about the three towers in October of 2006. Upon hearing his calm, logical and quite frightening conclusions I decided indeed that 9-11 needed further investigation. I have done my own research - not scientific - but merely following political discussions surrounding Operation Able Danger and Rep. Curt Weldon's efforts to expose that issue. As such I am not an architect nor engineer - just an accountant with a need for the truth - for humanities sake.
Having attended the Boston 9/11 Truth conference in December of 2007 and having watched several films on the subject it seems quite clear that first responders and others witnessed explosions and indeed WTC 7 clearly was a demolition per anyone's eyes. Also the fact that the BBC reported the building falling 20 minutes prior to when it did is cause for concern. I read the BBC's explanation and it was lacking to say the least.
