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 truth is often denied by people who are threatened by it. To successfully convey the truth to people, we need to find a way to deliver it that takes into account the psychological elements of fear and denial.

The advent of 9/11 and the tragedy surrounding the events are the singular greatest lie and fraud ever perpetuated. I recall working as a broker in the WTC in the mid 90's after the '93 bombing. The fact was already established after the bombing investigation that the buildings were originally built and inundated with asbestos protective coating, recognized as dangerous hazardous material even then. All the beam structures were coated in this covering and removal would have taken many years and billions($) in losses due to the closed buildings. The WTC towers and adjoining buildings were essentially condemned for the hazardous asbestos content, now killing the first responders (although squelched by the media). When I watched the buildings fall on 9/11, no mention was made of the dynamic stabilization dampers originally built as an afterthought on the upper levels of the building, consisting of concrete and steel and weighing 400,000lbs each. The force of these huge weights was essential to the planned and carefully controlled 'footprint' demolition. The 9/11 wives were paid for their silence and contractually obligated to never ask questions. Beverly Eckert, leader of the 9/11 wives group, publicly questioned the official report for its lies and inaccuracies, never took the pay-off. Eckert sued the government and consistently lobbied for a legitimate investigative commission. She died suspiciously in a very suspect plane crash, immediately after personally meeting with Obama and cabinet members and disclosing her plans to take her concerns and inside knowledge of the fraud to the public and the media.

The official conspiracy theory describing the events of 11 September 2001 (9-11) defies logic from beginning to end. The NIST and FEMA investigation of the 3 WTC buildings' collapse defies logic and physics. If it looks, smells, and tastes like controlled demolition, it probably is controlled demolition.

I have a degree in combined studies, that includes Chemistry, achieved at the University of Glamorgan, Wales (Former mining polytechnic college). (1994-97). I have also worked for several years as a lab technician with various types of cements and concretes, including three months testing the compression strength of concrete used in the building of blocks of flats. ( I witnessed hundreds of tests on the concrete up to the point of failure and do not remember much fine powder as a result, there were however many shards ranging from the mm to cm size ).
I am very concerned with the way World Trade Center 7 collapsed. It seems to me almost impossible that fires could cause such symmetrical failure when fires shouldn't rationally be able to cause the failure of any part of the structure let alone all of the structure at exactly the same time. I need a new investigation to explain this (maybe demolition experts can plant enough explosives in a burning building in 8 hours to bring it down as we saw). I have read and seen much more conflicting evidence about other aspects of 9/11 and I am not content with the official story, but as I have no first hand evidence (e.g saw explosives being used) my suspicions on the events that day rest on the video evidence of the collapse of WTC7. The odds of such a symmetrical collapse due to natural processes (i.e not manipulated) are so unrealistically long that I see this as the achilles heel of the official account, and if there is no sufficient explanation it implies complicity by someone with the clearance to enter the building. We need to know how and who.

I cannot believe that the twin towers fell symmetrically in less than 12 seconds, just because of airplane impact. But the biggest surprise is building 7. I didn't even know about a third building until last year, and it is absolutely unbelievable for it to fall the way it did due to just fire.

I have two years' experience with utility hardware marketing and technical support, and three years' experience with electrical design layout and specification.
The freefall acceleration of Building 7, which NIST admits to, is not explained credibly by their computer model. The twin towers should not have fallen at all, since they were in static equilibrium, then suddenly explosively collapsed through the path of most resistance.

The internet and information on it from literate and articulate writers who source their opinions has resulted in me fundamentally changing my understanding of our country, the U.S.
The corners and interior columns of WTC 7 could not possibly have all failed at the same time, due to fire. Any collapse, improbable to begin with, would have been lopsided, not straight down, unless explosives of some sort were used.

I think A&E for Truth speaks for us all concerning the technical analysis of the demolition of the three WTC buildings. It would take weeks, maybe months to plant the explosives in the buildings. This explains the high level of security reported by employees during the weeks leading up to the attack

I was not a believer in conspiracies, thinking it was too horrific, since educating myself with your and other recent videos, there's NO DOUBT that our own government is working in tandem with unseen forces. 9/11 TRUTH movement is the tip of the iceberg of how devious these forces are.

I understand how structural building works, from wood framing to steel, and have years of supervision experience.
From the moment I saw the towers collapse, I couldn't help but think of how reminiscent it was of an implosion. I watch the science channel and am fascinated by it. How could these buildings not fall to the side? But I am not an expert in the science. I feel convinced and shocked at the same time. Thank you for your perseverance.

The day of 9/11 I was watching the news unfold after the first hit. Then I saw the second plane hit and as time went on I also witnessed the collapse of both towers and Building 7. After all three buildings came down and the footage of the day was constantly repeated, I could not help but feel something was not right and in my mind I was sure that these collapses were not normal. I am convinced that the collapses were indeed controlled demolitions. I have been researching theattack ever since and all the evidence that has been accumulated by scientists and professionals points to that conclusion.

I am a thinking person - which is credential enough to look at the evidence and realize that something is not adding up.
The buildings collapsed at rates of near free-fall, seemingly without resistance, and in a manner similar to a controlled demolition. I believe evidence exists to warrant a full investigation into the truth of what happened to Buildings 1, 2 and 7.

I have done many hours of research on the collapses of all three World Trade Towers, have written a highly-graded and praised paper on 9/11, and have done many other school projects on the subject. I believe that the 9/11 Commission report was naive to modern science and did not mention many things that should have been. I believe with all of my heart that the buildings were not brought down by fire. I feel that the world deserves a thorough investigation.

From the moment I saw the news video and was able to compare it with the government's claims, I knew we were in trouble. The three WTC towers exploding to dust and cut/burnt steel members seems an event of one to two orders of magnitude greater than Oklahoma City (you degreed people will correct me if I'm wrong), both in terms of total energy, as well as psychological shock.

I strongly believe that the WTC1/2/7 were engineered to collapse by means other than those stated by government probes into this so called terrorist attack. I have no idea who was responsible for this or why this was done. I can't and don't to like to speculate. However, I believe that the evidence presented by this organization warrants additional investigation.

I knew the minute I saw them come down it looked like a controlled demolition, and I have no training in the area at all. Just going from earlier videos I had seen of controlled demolition. Yes I believed that it was a terrorist attack, there was no reason NOT to believe it at first. But it soon became obvious that it was not as simple to explain. We SAW, and HEARD on video that day, things that have, and are denying, happened. 9/11 changed my view of American politics 180 degrees. Congress should re-open the investigation, and allow true, non partisan, open minded, truth seeking investigators to reveal to EVERYONE what did, and/or did NOT happen on that day. Then we can start on the Pentagon, and the flight in Penn.

I am a US citizen concerned that our government has engaged in a massive fraud against the American public regarding its involvement in 9/11. I have been shocked at the amount of evidence and eyewitness accounts that conflict with the official 9/11 report. This evidence brings up questions that need to be addressed through an independent inquiry handpicked by the families of the victims and also the lead organizers of the Architects & Engineers for 911 truth.

I originally bought the official story hook, line and sinker. Eventually, enough questions were raised about the government claims that I started to investigate. Architects and Engineers for 911 truth have documented evidence, data and physics that is irrefutable and I am completely convinced that there has been a cover up of what really happened. I insist that all of my representatives demand an impartial investigation into what actually happened at the World Trade Center - including BUILDING 7 - on September 11th, 2001.
No building can possibly fall at near free fall speed unless the structural supports have been removed or destroyed. Thermite evidence and molten steel evidence from ground zero confirms that no jet fuel or paper fires could possibly bring those buildings down.

I cannot believe how many people who, when presented with the evidence, still believe the official story without question? I was one who accepted it for a long time... but l always had that nagging feeling that something wasn't right. When shown the evidence, l couldn't believe l hadn't seen it before. Its called Cognitive dissonance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance ) People cannot accept something that is the absolute opposite of what it is they believe to be the truth. I am no structural engineer, but I know what Ive seen when it comes to controlled demolitions! I've personally witnessed controlled demolitions, and that is exactly what 9/11 was! Open you eyes and minds America! Look at the evidence right here on this and other sites. Just look at the Building 7 situation.

I do not believe that airplanes caused the collapse of three buildings, especially a third building that wasn't even impacted by an aircraft. I believe the buildings would still be there were it just the impact of an aircraft. I am doubtful about an aircraft that may have hit the pentagon. No initial evidence was forthcoming nor was followup reporting at all revealing. If an oil spill can be scrutinized for months to the smallest technical detail, what happened to that scrutiny on our part with a devastation that cost thousands of lives?

The truth must come out. It will. After viewing 9/11/2001 that morning on the TV and through out the rest of that day, watching how they exploded and then dropped straight down; I knew something was dreadfully wrong with what they were showing us & telling us. And where was the Emegency Broadcast System I kept wondering ? I've seen a lot of controlled building demolitions on TV and video in my 50 yrs. they're all exactly like the WTC Complexes, 3 buildings of 9/11/2001. Don't give up !!!
