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.

Other work I have performed (coincidentally around the time of the9/11 attacks) used Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) in a support role for the US Coast Guard R&D Center in Groton, CT ( a three hour drive from ground zero) in the determination of trace quantities (nanogram) of drugs and explosives. On 9/08/01 I was sent to USMC Camp LeJeune, NC, making any attempt to use our equipment immediately following the collapse impossible.
The video footage of the three WTC buildings, as well as the Pentagon and Flight 93 wreckage, offers clear evidence that does not appear to have factored greatly into the official story, especially WTC building 7. The lack of significant analytical forensic evidence in the 9/11 commission report leads me to believe that it was inadequate, and a new, congressionally appointed committee should be established.

One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

Responsible for calculating all wind, earthquake, dead load, and live loads and specifying the required steel, concrete, and combination members as a result of the governing loads.
I read the NIST report and do not agree with their input load criteria. I also find it impossible that steel would become molten at the temperatures reached by burning of jet fuel. I believe nano-thermite or some other explosives must have been used. Regardless of WTC 1 and 2, nothing in the official story explains how WTC 7 failed. The use of the term 'pulled' is self explanatory in my opinion. This was clearly a controlled demolition.

My personal reasons for signing this petition are based purely in the wish to see the events of that day explained in full. What I have read and watched about 9/11 both official and non-official have many unexplained and contradictory factors, at no other time in history can I remember such contrary reports about such an event. Here in London we had a terrorist event in 2005 on 7th July, we are only now seeing the events of that day being brought to light with a full and comprehensive investigation. The events here in London where horrific and my heart goes out to those family's who have had to rebuild there lives because of it. But the events of 11th September 2001 in New York are of a scale hard to comprehend, they lead to war and the loss of life of an uncountable amount of innocent people in lands far from America. A independent, transparent and truthful investigation has to happen for many reasons and the longer it does not the more questions will arise.

I wonder if the information about the structure is public information. Like steel load capacity, and perhaps things like load bearing beams, etc. Al Qaeda may have known this information as well. Why did Al- Qaeda pick the building that was so impenetrable? The 'grid' on the outside walls raised curiosity. They are a formidable enemy, after all. We all know by looking at the evidence, that it didn't go quite as intended. We all suspect demolition. We don't blame the plane. That would take the blame off Al Qaeda. No one has a theory about how Al- Queda sneaked into the building to set-up demolition. Who ever set this up had access to the building.

My technical experience does not allow me to make any comments regarding the events of 9/11. I am just a concerned citizen and wish to see a full investigation into the events of 9/11.
Again, I do not possess the technical knowledge to make any judgment regarding the collapses. I just wish to support the individuals who recognized the destruction of the World Trade Center was not a result of the two planes that crashed into them and of course had nothing to do with the collapse of Building 7.

The official version doesn't make sense to me. The way the towers fell, the hole in the towers from the plane, how the Pentagon was looking like after the crash there. The hole in the ground that should be the crash down from the forth airplane, I have never seen an airplane hitting the ground like this. That they found the Passport from the high-checker in all that debris and dust. Everything was pulverized, burned, melted...but that passport was still readable. And so on and on.

i have 2 years of building structure and engineering study behind me now. I'm 22, live in England, research steel framed buildings, and am very interested in the 9/11 truth.
I believe that the American government is behind a lot of things, including the war between Iraq and Iran, as your American government gave chemical weapons to Iraq, which also raises suspicion about whether the American government just let the terrorists hijack American planes and destroy the twin towers. There are a lot of obvious lies surrounding this subject such as the fact that one of the towers was said to have collapsed because the steel frame melted, but if it had melted, then people couldn't have survived in the plane hole. Yet there were people waiting for rescue. And they said no explosives were used, but many people close by heard them. And the coincidence that the same day that most of the fighter jets protecting the country were on a training day and there were only 9 fighter jets left to protect America.

There are too many holes in the story we have been told. There is too much evidence that shows this was a planned event from within our own country (possibly with some outside help too). Six of the ten 9/11 Commissioners have come forward in the past couple of years and publicly stated the report was set up to fail. We need to demand answers and hold those truly responsible accountable for the crimes on humanity. Peace, Love and Truth for all!

I am a member of the rapidly growing collection of thinking Americans no longer willing to just accept what is being rained down upon us as truth and fact. Looking under the hood with the help of A&E for Truth, we can not accept the half truths of explanation offered by the Federal Government.
Given the overwhelming scientific information that contradicts the official explanation of what happened to the Twin towers and Building 7, all thinking individuals have to question the findings of the official investigation. Let's do it now and NOT bury the Truth.

it is fundamentally impossible for a free standing 47 story building with virtually no damage to suddenly collapse in a basic free fall without carefully planted explosives....damage to a part of the building through an impact or explosion would have caused collapse of that section with the remainder of the building left relatively intact.

Born 1960. While I have no technical background (save what I've learned from such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth), I have three university degrees and am therefore familiar with critical thinking and academic discourse. What I have learned over the past ten years from 9-11 researchers such as David Ray Griffin suggests we have been sold a public myth rather than scientific fact. Profound thanks to those courageous professionals who are willing to risk their careers in the cause of truth.
Numerous scholarly books and articles--not to mention the documentary film 9-11: Blueprint For Truth--have the cumulative effect of undermining the authorized conspiracy theory regarding September 11th. Thanks to the diligent work of such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, we are ready to insist on a new and independent public investigation with full subpoena powers.

I first took interest in the topic because of a movie I saw online called Zeitgeist which really got my attention.

I soon realized that millions of people believed the official story was fictitious and that the evidence for the buildings to fall due to fire held no water. I purchased Dr. Steven Jones' lecture as well as Richard Gage's DVDs on this site and had to come to the realization that professionals questioned the official story as well.
