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 travesty of the 9/11/2001 attacks on the American citizens is an obvious conspiracy of the highest order involving multi-modes of conventional and advanced technology and multi-state actors to wage war physically and psychologically on the American public as well as simultaneously obfuscate huge transfers of wealth to the perpetrators. The failure of the US Government to conduct a competant and thorough investigation while offering explanations that defy the Laws of Physics, conceal relevant facts and shield the real terrorists adds insult to injury. The failure of the media to promote truth and tranparency further betrays the public trust. Truth and justice is due to the American people.

The work being done by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and by Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, questions the explanation of collapse given by the 9/11 Commission and NIST. The statement that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by controlled demolition is proven conclusively by the empirical evidence and basic physics. One only needs to look at conservation of energy to see this.

I do not accept the official findings for the collapse of the three World Trade Centre buildings. The official inquiry was not broad enough, and specifically excluded the consideration of deliberate implosion, ie a controlled demolition. Significant physical, video and witness statements evidence exists to support the controlled demolition theory, but has never received a thorough investigation.

Building 7 is definitely THE smoking gun. There is also something really stange about the way buildings 1 & 2 came down.(free fall etc...) If the planes had brought those buildings down they would have come down as soon as they were hit. We defenitely need are new(and real this time) investigation.

It is statistically impossible for three tall buildings to symmetrically-collapse upon their own footprint on the same day, in the same area, due to asymmetrical fires/impacts.

Diverse, but including building and engineering. I am now 67 and, in a sense, have been waiting for this moment all my life, e.g. a chance to end political corruption. The unexamined life (world) is not worth living. Socrates. I am a deeply philosophical person. I am wedded to both the Socratic and scientific methods of discovery. Of necessity I have had a wide range of jobs during my working life (now retired), e.g. at one time I was a teacher of manual arts, at another a fitter and turner, and at another a dairy farm labourer. At another time, albeit only at 101 level, I went to the University of Western Australia and studied philosophy, psychology, anthropology and politics. I was born in England, but migrated to Australia in 1971. I have been to France, Belgium, Germany and Libya, and passed through several other countries.
WTC7 is the smoking gun. WTC7 could not have collapsed into its own footprint, if not because of controlled demolition. Neither could have WTC1 & 2, but it is hard to break the common perception that they were brought down by airliners. The Pentagon and the other crash are in the too-hard basket at present, but are explicable. Once people are jolted from their preconceptions, the truth of the whole affair should cascade, I think.

I studied 'mass communications' in college and knew then that propaganda was a phenomenon to contend with then and even much more so now.As a minister and educator, truth has remained paramount to helping true seekers of the truth and the light. AE911Truth is an extension and continuation of what I gleaned in college.
It's a crime we don't know more from so-called official governmental sources about what really happened. And it's obvious the crime scene was destroyed, just like the JFK limo -a crime scene- post Dealey plaza assassination was destroyed.

Although I am not a specialist in any field pertaining to building integrity, physics, etc., I have reviewed the facts and strongly support a true investigation of 9/11. WT7 was obviously controlled demolition and the recent and continual findings of nano-thermite support the opinion that the towers were brought down in similair fashion.

It is amazing how the media keeps the truth from the people. I am so glad my friend linked me to your information and inquiry. I will pass this on in support of your quest. It seems so obvious when looking at the tapes over and over, it seems impossible for a jetliner to cause such destruction. You can see the explosions all the way down as the buildings collapse. Why as a country would we not want to know the truth, NIST? It seems like a huge cover up to me.

I play lead guitar in the band Hand of Reckoning, test software at a company in upstate NY, and have been awake to the crimes of our government for about 2 years now. 9/11 is one of the issues I am the most passionate about, and also one that I get the most flak for. I strongly support the AE911Truth movement!
The sheer obviousness that at the very least it was a controlled demolition and at the most was directly carried out by factions within the US government and military from just WATCHING the footage of the buildings collapsing is overwhelming. You do not need to have a degree to figure out that fire does not bring down buildings, that has never happened in the history of the world and this should be no different.

After 1000's of hours of investigating theories involving the Twin Towers' destruction, I no longer go along the official report. It is my strong opinion that both Towers and Building 7 had numerous explosive devices placed inside, when remotely detonated, resulted in the destruction of them.

I am a concerned member of the public. I have no architectural or engineering qualifications, but hold a degree in fine art. I am female and 51 years of age.
I have watched footage of the collapse of the twin towers on numerous occasions and have held doubts that the planes caused the buildings to collapse - one piece of footage that i saw showed what appeared to be an explosion much lower down one of the towers before the plane hit, which I felt at the time to be suspicious as though possibly explosives had been placed so as to weaken the building sufficiently so that when the plane did strike. the building would almost certainly fall. I feel that a non-biased and very thorough investigation should be carried out to get to the full truth of what happened that day.

I developed asthma as an adult and I find it strange that nothing is cured anymore there are just treatments to subdue effects and this mentality is what I think has happened with the 9/11 story. We got a treatment ( congressional report ) however we still have no idea how or why, just like my asthma!
I have seen satellite images of ground zero and there are mysterious 24' diameter holes in the surrounding buildings. How is it that subway cars and life sized figurines were removed from the basements of these buildings virtually unharmed? Over 100 stories collapsed into its own footprint and somehow didn't flatten a subway car, come on people think!!!

The obvious problem with the explanation given for the collapse is that a fire on the upper floors would not cause the two towers to implode into their own footprint. Building 7 is still a complete mystery.
