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 University of Copenhagen disclosed scientific evidence that active nano-thermite caused the WTC catastrophe on 9/11. This issue has been solved. What is still a mystery to many is WHO BENEFITED FROM THIS EVENT AND DENYING THE TRUTH ABOUT IT? Did Muslims or Americans benefit from this? No. So Who has an interest in the two groups fighting? Who profits from this war?

The three WTC buildings offered little or no resistance to collapse into its footprint at freefall. The Pentagons strike left office furniture and a open book intact although officially - the intense fires were supposed to have vaporised metal. Windows on either side of the impact hole in the Pentagon wall where the wings should have crashed into were left intact.

I watched the second plane strike the WTC tower on TV as it happened and the subsequent collapse of the towers. Totally unbelievable that they easily withstood the impact, stood firm for more than an hour while a smoldering oxygen limited diesel oil fire bellowed thick smoke indicating anything but an intense out of control and growing fire capable of compromising the structure. Then the first tower collapsed - UNIFORMLY, straight down and later the second tower in a significantly shorter time from impact. The case for, and prediction of, the Building 7 collapse - straight down, later that day is TOTALLY suspicious and absurd. I believe the 'CLEAN UP' was a deliberate destruction of the crime scene evidence, hurriedly with the intent to prevent any analysis of the true cause.

I sat riveted for over two and 1/2 hours listening and watching the presentation by Mr. Richard Gage, AIA. The concise information on the twin towers and especially building 7, caused me to reevaluate the 911 Commission report. Unfortunately, that conclusion caused me to be quite concerned at the direction that the thought process then takes you. At the very least, the disaster must be investigated with new eyes on the nature and causes of the building loss and the loss of life. Who or what is responsible? How could it have been done? What part did the planes really have in the collapse? I don't know but would like more answers.

All 3 Trade buildings fell in approximately the same way (e.g., the time to fall, and the footprint in which they it fell into), despite varying degrees of damage. Of the two buildings that sustained similar damage (i.e. the twin towers), the last building hit fell first, after 54 minutes. The other building fell after 100 minutes, despite that these building were subjected to similar forces. These anomalies warrant further investigation.

Watching the 9/11 commission and the politics surrounding it caused me to question the answers that came from it. As an engineer who understands the fundamentals of science, I can't imagine how fire brought down Building 7. If Building 7 fell due to something other than fire, then questions regarding the other buildings come into play. I demand a proper investigation into 9/11!

je suis pr'sentement 'tudiant en 'lectricit'. je n'ai aucune connaissance ni en ing'nierie du batiment, ni en explosif, mais je trouve tout de meme ce qui s'est pass' aux 2 tours du WTC est tres louche! I am currently studying electricity. I have no knowledge or engineering of the building, nor explosives, but I think all the same what happened to the two WTC towers is very fishy!
si on se fie aux multiples vid'os et aux t'moignages de pompier et de gens qui 'taient sur place, il y a vraiment eu des explosions inexpliqu'es cette journ'e la. pas besoin d'etre ing'nieur en batiment pour avoir de gros doutes quant aux explications de gouvernement face a ces 'venements. If we rely on multiple videos and testimonials of firefighters and people who were there, there really were this day the unexplained explosions. One does not need to be building engineer to have serious doubts about the explanation of the government in dealing with these events.

I'm a registered nurse with a specialty in psychiatric nursing. I'm a manager at a small psych hospital. I'm a pretty typical woman. I'm married. I'm married, and I have children. I have been politically active since I turned 18. I was once a Democrat until I heard Harry Browne speak when he was running for president as a Libertarian. His message was the first one that ever made sense to me. As I grew up and got older, I continued to be politically active. I vote, and I support local candidates who share my liberty values of personal liberty and personal responsibility. I'm just a concerned citizen wanting answers.
While watching live CBS coverage of the 9/11 tower collapse, my father and I saw what appeared to be a series of detonations one right after the other in a sequence around the building just before one tower fell. My Dad and I both instantly stated how much that footage looked like a controlled demolition. That footage was then taken out of all other replays that we saw. I question this in light of all that has occurred since that time. Engineers speak out and now that just makes me more concerned. We over night became a nation of fear and war. Personal liberty is being sacrificed for promises of security. Our Constitution is no longer a guide force for government. As a freedom loving American, this greatly concerns me, and I feel we should at least explore the possibility that there may be agendas and persons at play who have other plans for our country which conflict greatly with what our founding fathers would have wanted and what is truly best for our nation.

I was there when the first explosion happened that killed the pregnant woman working in the collection booth in the basement and knew they would try again. One year after that I knew that New York was NOT the place for me, so I moved across the country far away from all the trouble that New York City attracts and wound up in Las Vegas.
After living in Las Vegas for several years, I witnessed the implosion of several old hotels/casinos and knew that when I saw those Towers go down that it was nothing other than an implosion and a false flag attack for a pretext for invading Iraq.

I have worked with traumatized youth for 13 years. After being introduced to the subject of 9/11 truth and then recognizing, then overcoming, my own fear and denial I quickly dedicated myself to studying the subject. I now do my best to support the reputable organizations dedicating themselves to the honorable purpose of discovering the truth behind the attacks of 9/11.
Since the day of the incident I have known that something wasn't right. I watched live on television as witnesses and reporters reported bombs and explosions, then immediately thought it odd that there was never another mention of it. The trauma caused by the shock of that day has put our nation in a PTSD fueled state of denial that I have spoken about for years and not until the A&E documentary had I heard anyone else talk about it. I don't know who attacked us that day but I do know that there would be no reason to cover up something you had nothing to do with, and our government has shamelessly lied and covered up evidence. I support and encourage continuance of the work done by A&E for 9/11 Truth. It is the most important issue of our time even if few realize.

Went to Music Ed school and strayed back into the food business not seeing much money or future in academia. Traveled and lived overseas for a few years. I'm really proud to be an American and at the same time I have always said America is capable of the greatest and the most atrocious acts.
Remember the foreign film where a land mine is buried under a corpse between UN and Serb forces? In the process when the little mine first appears the deviant boobie trapping the body looks closely at the device and reads MADE IN AMERICA and kisses it. I was saddened by that. I feel the same nausea because I never believed that those buildings could fall like that. And I heard the explosions [on tape] and the burning for days after the event??? What was burning? Well you told me in your film thank you - And I know we have to find out who/what was behind all this. Why would anyone do it? Where are the people that set it all up? Secret Ops? Traitors I say. God help us and God bless the United States of America - keep going and get this DONE!

It is an excruciating travesty to witness a government agency tell us there was no molten steel and see the pictures of molten steel. I am hurt to the core that 11 years later the people who are responsible for initiating an independent investigation have not done so. It is truly dishonoring to those who died, our country, and the scientific process.

I just know from talking with architects and engineers that there is no way those buildings came down that way with out help from the inside... building 7.... no plane crash and still fell down... no way...
I know it did not happened that way.... I know our gov. is not really in charge.... the big international bankers run every thing... I know those buildings could not have fell like that... we need to wake up Americans to the fact that we are under the control of a crime cartel....

I have had some college, but no engineering experience. The major I seek is acting/musical theatre. But I'm not stupid - I have looked at the 9/11 Commission Report (not completely finished reading) and already I have burning questions about that day, that I feel like I have no resources to research for an answer.
I find it disturbing that the WTC buildings would look so scarily close to a controlled demolition. Furthermore, it is extremely hard, isn't it, to hide the chemistry of an explosion or chemical reaction? The evidence is so solid, and we're years apart from 9/11 now, that we all as a country need to look at this a little more objectively and a LOT more closely. Even if in the end, it is not proven that explosives were not used, at least we've satisfied the curiosity about whether or not they were used. It more than deserves to be looked at, ESPECIALLY WTC building 7! All those first responders, eyewitnesses, all these degree-granted and licensed people can't be totally in the wrong.

I have watched the Experts Speak Out Documentary. I am very disturbed that we have not been told the truth about 9/11. The scientific evidence presented in this film is overwhelming. It is time to demand more factual information for the sake of all victims of 9/11, the citizens of the United States, the citizens of the world.

Having viewed many videos about the subject it is my opinion that the buildings were pre-wired with explosive/demolition equipment in order to be able to remotely destroy these buildings in the event of a disaster. I believe that this was done to hide evidence of some kind, be it documents or simply just to justify a future action that would be approved solely based on the fact that these buildings were destroyed, such as an airplane being flown into one.

There was a consipiracy impossible and improbable as is, to destroy twin towers. Destruction of Building Seven proves the issue. Although I don't believe public officials sere involved, the subsequent cover up effort by officials indicate that some were in the know, at least by Sept. 12th.
