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.

When I saw the first building come down, live, on 9/11/2001, I told my wife that building was demolished by explosives and some other stuff. From that day forward, I have told folks that the laws of physics would have to be suspended for me to believe that the buildings collapsed because of a plane hitting them and a 'fire'.

I think the main reason many people don't want to even consider the possibility (some say certainty) that the reasons for the WTC collapse is that it makes you consider the implications--the who/what/whys...and forces you to consider some ideas so horrible and evil that no one would want to face it. But reluctance is not a valid reason for not seeking the answer.

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!

Features of the collapse and remaining evidence prove that the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolition. Media censorship and disinformation employed to conceal this fact from the general public match the practice once used east of the Iron Curtain. Likewise, the counterintelligence tactics used against researchers, against 9-11 Truth groups, and on the web, match what has become infamous as 'Zersetzung', used by the former East German Stasi.

I'm grateful to AE911 truth for upholding the principles of evidence based science that are consistent with those I encountered during my early undergraduate studies and training. Their questions are my questions and I believe that the institutional ethic is undermined by its implicit endorsement of the destruction of valuable data sets, its dismissal of independent inquiry and its bad faith deployment of institutionalised science to subvert the scientific method. The negligence of a single professional, be they medical, scientific or otherwise can result in a custodial sentence. The negligence of a generation of professionals may result in the loss of faith in evidence-based engineering as a tool for good. As such I feel that AE911Truth better represent me in what I was trained to be 'science' than the institutions do at present. I trust this situation will resolve itself eventually to the benefit of all as it always does, hence my membership.

I first heard that there were serious doubts about the 911 Commission Report being a thorough and truthful investigation. Some radio talk shows and some websites confirmed my suspicions that the Report had been hastily done and had served as a cover-up of what actually brought the Twin Towers and Bldg. & down.

I have seen a lot of footage and a hear a lot of reports. There is something sketchy with the collapsing of the buildings. When the architect of the building says, Yeah this building could take the impact of a 747 and not collapse and then 9/11/01 we see the building crumble to wreckage. Anybody in their right mind should see this as a problem.

Retired from banking and finance. Rudimentary knowledge of physics but enough reasoning power to know that a fully-fueled jet aircraft could not generate a fire hot enough to mortally wound one of the twin towers, much less two.
I could not believe the collapses of the two towers as I saw them on television, but I just watched in amazement how the broadcasters were unaffected. A controlled demolition is the only was such symmetrical collapses could occur.

I am just a concerned citizen that seeks truth within our people and government. I have always thought that the scenario presented to US through our so called media services, was questionable at best!!! I am not a supporter of media sensationalism, and in this country it is rampant, and mostly misrepresented, misleading, and untruthful. I don't trust the media. Via other sources of education, honor and investigation, through honest means will I begin to believe in some rational explanation. I do however think that this smells of conspiracy, and if that is the case, then we are in way over our heads. I commend you that may take on this Goliath, and support you, but whoa, were in deep. I try to think of the complex planning alone to achieve this task, and I am humbled as to vastness and level of government that would require such an endeavor. I look forward to understanding your theories and the theories that we all come up with. It's going to be interesting. Keith

I am an electrician with IBEW Local Union #98. I've worked in construction for 10 years now. I recently worked at the new Comcast building erected in Philadelphia. I worked there for 3 years, from start to finish, and I know all about the designs of buildings to withstand fires and other catastrophes. The Comcast building was actually designed to withstand being struck by an airplane, being built with a reinforced concrete core to withstand extremely high temperatures. They called it a 911 proof or airplane proof structure, specifically designed with 911 in mind.
It's obvious that the world trade center events were planned demolition. We all need to wake up and stop being faithful slaves to a shadow government. I don't watch any mainstream media, they simply only tell us what they want us to believe! As a construction worker I know it would be physically impossible for a skyscraper to collapse on itself without a controlled demolition! Wake up America, our government is despicable, and organized the deaths of thousands of it's own people! It's time to take a stand!

I do not buy the official story of 9/11. I feel the CRIME SCENE was cleaned up too quickly and the evidence hastily done away with. Why? I also have seen numerous demolitions of buildings, and that is EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE! Considering the vast expansion of governmental powers and Impact on civil liberties because of 9/11, I feel that our country deserves a second PROPER look at the events of 9/11.

My understanding of Construction coupled with the video presentation leaves no doubt to my mind that these buildings were brought down using demolition. That would make whoever is responsible guilty of premeditated murder.

I am a 56 year old male with 2 years of college and am in the educational field providing workplace learning and performance solutions for companies and organizations. I am a guest author of numerous articles. Over the years I have become increasingly concerned at how misinformed the general public has become and by the ���Bread and Circus��� style conditions existing in America today. If there is a negative aspect to democracy it would be that it is high maintenance. It requires vigilance by its citizens over those in power.
Although I am not an engineer or architect I know it is impossible, other than through controlled demolition, for steel structured buildings to collapse into the path of greatest resistance at free fall speed. I also know through personal observation that it takes a great deal of concentrated torch heat to melt and bend steel, which was not possible in these building fires. The official government story defies engineering logic.

When 911 went down I was trading commodity futures futures online with a broker in the South Tower and lost a fair amount of money, so I have a direct emotional and financial connection. I have not stopped my own personal investigation since the incident. I truly believe that critical evidence has been withheld from the investigation. I want to know who the conspirators are and why congress, the pentagon, and the DoD are not talking about this.

I've been a hospital HVAC service journeyman technician for thirty years. Building maintenance, systems service and repair is my trade.
It is inconceivable that a few hundred gallons of jet fuel which burns at 1200F can have so weakened the structural members of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building #7 that they should collapse at free fall speed. The pancake theory defies itself because each succeeding floor falling would have been resistance to the collapse, impeding and stopping it at some finite point above street level.

I have no specific technical education other than an increasing thirst for knowledge, and the unbelievable lies, half-truths and innuendos that come from those who are supposed to represent our best interests, continue to amaze me with their belief that we, as citizens, are so blindly ignorant that we will believe anything and everything they tell us. September 11th is my daughter's birthday and so that date was already burned into my memory bank. I have researched, read & listened to almost every bit of information I can get my hands & ears on. This was the biggest criminal act ever perpetrated on the U.S. and its citizens. Those who say it would have taken hundreds (thousands ?) of conspirators to pull this off are just pi--ing into the wind.
I have watched many, many buildings come down that have been deliberately demolished and every one of them has pancaked just as the towers did. I lost a cousin to a building that was being razed next to his home when it fell onto him as he was standing in his back yard. That building came down as any building would have if it was NOT a controlled demolition. The #7 building takes a huge suspension of disbelief in order for a truly intelligent individual to think that it just fell!
