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.

From the day these three buildings collapsed my engineering experience disagreed with the OCT. Gravity pulls down, not up or to the side. Had we really been attacked all heaven and earth could not have stopped a legitimate inquiry. Why didn't the dog bark? Old story, with a sinister new twist.

The brilliant Part III of David Chandler's NIST Finally Admits Free Fall is all one needs to understand that explosives caused the WTC collapses. The evidence for controlled demolition is overwhelming, of course, but it is the weak official explanations and non-sensical debunker counter-arguments that truly seal the deal for me. The NIST admission video is therefore qualitatively superior to all other videos that voice only the 9/11 truth movement side. In admitting free-fall NIST admits that their fire-based collapse hypothesis is wrong and that their report is a scientific fraud. Previous demonstrated shortcomings of their investigation arguably amounted to simple negligence. Not investigating reports of thermite, molten metal, and collapse preknowledge stand out here. But in admitting free-fall NIST has conjured up a contradiction within their conclusions that cannot be argued away. All that remains now is to get a critical mass of people to view the free-fall videos, as well as the others. Our strongest influence is among our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Make it a practice to educate at least one new person per week from these groups. Do this in parallel with working your politicians and news media and we will eventually get a real investigation.

As an engineer who understands the fundamentals of science, I can't imagine how fire brought down Building 7. If Building 7 fell due to something other than fire, then questions regarding the other buildings come into play. I demand a proper investigation into 9/11!

So many questions unanswered; the consequences of ignoring the questions raised by reputable scientists are grave for our country. I am not a scientist, but I did watch the television accounts of the attack and was surprised at the rapid destruction of the two towers.

I watched the videos of the WTC's collapsing over and over again. I saw flashes of light coming from the bottom floors and have always wondered why buildings-1,2 and 7 collapsed onto themselves. I use to watch the demolition of buildings in Las Vegas, NV-----they were so similar.
Although I am very proud to be an American, it has always disgusted me the way our Government covers up everything and continues to miss lead we the people. I pray-- to live long enough to see the day that the truth about 9/11 events, as well as many others, are finally unveiled.

In the year 2000 I retired from the San Francisco Veterans Administration Hospital after twenty one years of service as an Industrial Equipment Mechanic. Some of my duties was to maintain and repair all equipment assigned to the Mechanic Shop, which included building equipment and critical life support equipment.
I have never ever seen buildings, especially high-rise buildings collapse in the way I did while watching TV as the World Trade Center three buildings fell. The only time I saw buildings collapse like that was with a planned destruction of a building or buildings using some type of explosive device. I do not believe the fire caused these buildings to come down.

I,m an nuclear Engineer and have a decent understanding of structural integrity.
Many technical developments,during the 9-11 incident and investigation didn't add up. It seems that more technical information wasn't disclosed and/or dismissed. It didn't seem to be a thorough investigation. All possibilities must be looked into, not just the fact of impact from the planes or intense heat from the fuel. Structurally, the buildings should have toppled over.

Just a housewife, who listened to Coast to Coast radio with George Noory, on Wed. June 10, 2009. I was astounded to hear the interview with Mr. Gage. Words can't express the horror I felt when I understood the impact of what Mr. Gage was telling us.
I accepted the what the NIST report said about the collapse of the 3 Towers. It made sense to me, until I heard Mr. Gage on Coast to Coast radio. I watched the videos from your Web page and read some of the articles. No way did it happen as the NIST reported. My question is WHY?

BOTH towers came STRAIGHT down as if in a controlled demolition and NOT to the side like others would have. video's show controlled explosions below the collapse as if in a controlled demolition. The Empire State Building was hit by a bomber over 50 years ago and it is still standing. the Twin Towers were supposedly built stronger than that. OR WAS IT?

Been doing research on 9/11/01 since the day it happened... have an extensive personal library of online articles, newspapers, magazines, books, videos and DVDs all proving 9/11/01 was an inside job. Have given numerous presentations about such in Sedona, Prescott and northern Arizona areas... trying to awaken the general public as to the fallaciousness of the Government's conspiracy theory as to what happened.
The scientific proof is undeniable that Thermate/Thermite were used to bring down the buildings, and if this was the case, then it had to have been planned weeks and probably months ahead of time... which proves there was a conspiracy involving the government, military (DOD) [for their stand-down], CIA and perhaps some outside sources such as the Mossad and MI6 to pull it off. When adding up all the dots about security, availability, pre-9/11 maintenance on the buildings, who owned the buildings, witness testimonies from people RIGHT THERE AT GROUND ZERO (and not the planted government provocateurs), and all the scientific evidence from the site (in spite of the government trying to get rid of the evidence as quickly as possible), there is undeniable proof that this was an inside job.

While a musician, I am also a practicing medium and thought from the beginning something was wrong with this whole thing. I am retired now, living in NW Arkansas, but lived my whole adult life in San Francisco. I have worked professionally as a musician and also in the business world. I currently am half owner of a prosperous tourist business in NW Arkansas. I am also a practicing medium, and, while I as yet haven't a web site am very good at what I do.
At the beginning, I, like millions of us, thought this was an attack, but not long after, when the administration starting fighting in Afghanistan, looking for Osama Bin Laden, then suddenly decided to start the Iraq War (for oil?????) it became very clear to me and friends that something is not correct about this massive expenditure for a war in Iraq. Is not the real issue OIL??? Also, I'm hazy on this, but another building outside of the twin towers also exploded. And, I always wondered why Pres. Bush was in the air for approx. 3 hours after the catastrophe. Then he appeared at ground zero within a couple of days. Very suspicious of the Bush administration.

I am an Acupuncturist here in Tempe and have always been interested in Science and Engineering as well.
the FACTS surrounding 911 have always posed a problem for me the fact the buildings fell at free fall speeds, the heat from jet fuel in an uncompressed state is to low to melt or soften steel, the buildings falling onto their own foot print and in the path of greatest resistance when the impacts were asymmetrical and what caused building 7 to fall when it was hit by neither plane nor debris.

I have worked in Elementary Education for more than 25 years. I enjoy travelling to other countries and throughout America. I am an avid reader, and enjoy the arts. As a witness to the fall of the towers, I still find I have a lot of questions. One teacher I know lost her daughter that dreadful day. Even though I didn't know this young woman personally, she left behind a 4 year old daughter. I would like more information if it exists, about how so much damage could occur with just planes.
Only that I can see an empty space from my neiborhood, B'klyn Heights, where the Towers once stood. And I have a relative who works in the vicinity of ground zero. I still find it all unbelievable.

The fact that the two WTC buildings, and building 7, all collapsed in an identical manner.....in a very controlled, very rapid, tidy decent into their own footprints, calls for an independant inquiry into what actually happened.
