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.

The evidence is too clear that the buildings had to fall by a controlled demolition. There are too many inconsistencies in the official explanation and the video footage. Building 7 is the absolute clincher. The molten metal defies any other explanation.

It was apparent to me from the day of 9/11 that the buildings did not fall due to catastrophic failure initiating from the impact by jet planes. If the towers had fallen due to anything but a controlled demolition, they would have taken out several city blocks and most adjacent buildings would have also been taken down by the towers. Engineers and architects know this, which is why explosives are used to bring down large structures in densely populated areas.

I have been in the Mechanical Engineering field for over 25 years and have a strong working knowledge of structural mechanics and physics.
It is very obvious from the data collected that these buildings were taken down by controlled demolition. The highlights include the near free fall velocity at which they fell, the periodic lateral explosions that preceded the fall of each zone, the manner of collapse, and the evidence of thermite in the rubble.

Occupation: Industry/Design/Sales
My studies as an undergraduate were highly geared towards a career in structural engineering. Eventually, chose to pursue a M.Architecture, but was fortunate enough to be able to take many graduate courses on structural design in the Columbia University School of Engineering, as the core requirements for the M.Arch I were covered.
It's a hard pill to swallow. Honest, truth seeking people cannot avoid thinking of the horrendous consequences that necessarily accompany facing the facts of a controlled demolition. For years, like many, I ignored the evidence, not because it wasn't obvious. It is obvious only once you focus on the facts. It was because I, like so many millions, took the official story for granted, without question. The evidence is overwhelming for anybody who cares to face the horrible truth.

As with David Ray Griffin and others, the evidence presented by AE911Truth is overwhelming and simply cannot be denied. It is time for a Commission, independent of any of the previous official commissions, to be formed and authorized by the Justice Department or whatever department would be responsible for setting up such a commission. I heard the AE911Truth presentation on Coast to Coast AM June 9th, 2009.

I have worked with metals all my life, being an aircraft mechanic. I have also worked in the construction field.
All the damage & heat was at the top of the buildings. This couldn't affect all the lower portions of the structure. As stated elsewhere, there was no resistance to the fall beneath the damaged portions of the buildings. This, in my opinion, had to be done by controlled explosives.

I have also done Volunteer work in a Hospital.
I have seen many large buildings imploded om TV. I have also heard many experts explain how it is done, in great detail. When I saw the Towers fall on 911, the first thing I thought of was that it looked just like an implosion. Later that day I heard about Building 7 coming down exactly like the Towers. After reading the articles and seeing film on your Website, you have presented much more evidence that certainly looks like the Towers were imploded. I have been following the stories about explosives for years, and those stories, along with what I saw with my own eyes, lead me to doubt the official story. This must be investigated. Americans deserve to know the truth.

It was obvious to me, after watching in disbelief the crumbling of the WTC buildings that we the people were never going to be allowed to get at the truth surrounding this event. After hearing and reading expert opinions about how the buildings could not have collapsed in the way they did without the use of strategically placed explosives, and of the first hand accounts of people who were there while it was occurring who testified that they heard loud explosive sounds at or about the same time that the collapses were taking place, it became obvious to me, at least, that since this information was either being discounted or completely ignored by the mainstream-government-controlled-media that we were not going to get to the bottom of the truth regarding what happened on September 11, 2001 in New York City at the World Trade Center.

I am a senior citizen concerned about inconsistencies over what is reported in the news and elsewhere.
Many knowledgeable people say the buildings fell like buildings purposely demolished with bombs, etc., not from a fire started from an airplane. Also, people in the area say they heard explosions coming from the building. We need a well planned investigation of what really happened and who was responsible.

For many years I believed the official version of 9/11. But now after reviewing the evidence in great detail I firmly believe that 9/11 was an inside job. There simply is no other rational explanation. There's no way building number 7 should have collapsed unless it was demolished with explosives.

I don't know who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, but I do know that the official explanation of what happened is not backed up by scientific evidence or by the laws of physics. The unprecedented collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 at almost free fall speed, the evidence that thermite was present at the crime scene, and the fact that dozens of witnesses heard explosions shortly before the towers collapsed is reason enough to launch a new independent investigation committee, which would have the power to subpoena all witnesses.

I am a serial entrepreneur who lived in New York City and know a lot of people there.
I had some colleagues and constituents in one of those buildings. I was down the street in 1993 when the first bombs were set off and didn't know much about what was going on. When I saw this catastrophe unfold on TV in Seattle, I was stunned and even more, curious as to how buildings like that, which I had been to the top of before, could pancake. Watching how they demolish building on TV before I was very curious as to what really happened now I believe there is something far more evil at work.

I am not an engineer, architect, or physicist. I am a designer who has listened to the presentation by Richard Gage, and I want to support his efforts in having the truth be known about what actually happened on 9/11/2001.
Listening to a presentation by Richard Gage I no longer support the government's position that this was an attack. I want the truth known about these building collapses. There is just too much contrary evidence to support the assertion there was no US government involvement in this. As a US citizen, I DEMAND an investigation of the TRUE intent behind 9/11, and an investigation of what really happened, as these building collapses were a controlled demolition. There are just many coincidences and facts to think otherwise. This NEEDS to be investigated and the people need to be told the truth about what actually happened on this day!

It was a controlled collapse, it was professionally imploded, the planes had nothing to do with the collapse, just chaos.

I have observed a steady takeover of our government and freedom since the early sixties. Eisenhower was right, that we need to beware of the powers of the military- industrial complex, including Departments of Defense and National Security. Who's really in charge of the obviously choreographed downfall of our nation? And for the sake of our ancestors' hard won liberty, and generations to come, let's exercise our constitutional rights and laws to save our country,.. before it's too late for eleventh hour intervention!

I'm a concerned citizen, college grad (not in a tech field), interested in the truth, and an airline worker of 30 years. I know, firsthand how relatively inflammable jet fuel really is; though, the public thinks it's a hot burning fuel, because it has the word 'jet' in it. We used to use jet fuel in all of our diesel ground equipment, no problem; though, diesel fuel can't be used in jets, because it's too 'dirty.' Thank you.
It's been clear to me that sooty black, burning jet fuel cannot melt steel. The fact that it was molten for about 3 weeks after the event should be evidence enough that a thorough investigation is needed. Thank you.

I did not study anything to do with architecture or engineering. I have no degree in this area at all. So I can speak from that point of view.
When I first saw it go down, it got my attention. Then time after time I said that building imploded!. It seemed evident to me and I then wondered how and why!
