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.

I remember on the day when the news of the 911 attacks was coming through. I was at work and we all gathered in the office of a colleague, who had a radio, and I remember hearing the frantic voice of the radio announcer saying that one of the towers had collapsed. At the time we had no access to TV footage of the hit on the buildings. After the collapse, I remember turning to a shocked colleague next to me and saying something like: the plane must have hit lower down, towards the bottom of the tower? It was the only way I could comprehend or explain to myself a collapse of such magnitude and speed! Today, it is still that rapid, symmetrical collapse that I find hard to understand.

I have looked at the evidence and looked at the official story and find that the official story could not scientifically describe the collapses of three steel framed skyscrapers on 9/11. The very fact of the rapidity of the collapse in relation to conservation of energy and momentum defies all known physics. In addition the NIST report in relation to collapse initiation is faulty and opposes the known material properties of structural grade steel and the associated heat transfer processes.

As an engineer I feel very ashamed that I believed the official version for more than a decade, without asking myself any questions. Then I saw the documentaries by Massimo Mazzuco and I understood what should be so obvious to any normal person who is not completely hypnotized by mainstream media. As a human being I feel very ashamed that, as a western citizen, I let my government contribute to the nonsense military operations that followed 9/11. I substantially let the horrors happen without saying anything. May God forgive me.

When I first saw the collapse of the buildings, something just didn't look right from what I and my family were watching on tv, internet, etc.... I wathced a lecture given by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan after 911 and after watching it, it raised questions in my mind about 911. Then I watched Loose Change and after that I saw what the scholars (architects and engineers) and family had to say and that produced in my mind an accumulative effect of sound questions and statements that needs to be answered by an independent commission that will provide sound answers!!!!

I am a native of the Dominican Republic and have lived in the city of New York most of my life. I am an artist and I work in different mediums. The World Trade Center was a memorable place for me having first visited the site during the start of the project and visiting it on many occasions. They became part of the loved skyline of this great city that is new york and a great inspiration.
We need to know the truth. My experience with working with steel and knowledge of metallurgy leads me to believe that the findings are not in conclusive with the laws of physics and fail to explain the actual cause of why these three buildings went down in the sequential time they came down.

I have little to no experience or education in architecture or engineering. However, I can tell based of the documentary on the controlled demolitions of the towers having an understanding of basic physics to understand that the official NIST reports are a deliberate cover-up.
Although it was disheartening at first to believe our own government could do this to us, nothing is perfect, and I came to grips with it recently. I just want the truth.

I had an idea this was a set up from our government but now I want to know the truth about it and why our government would do these things to us. I don't know what I can do to help but I am willing to try.

My great uncle worked in the World Trade Center towers but moved to working in the Pentagon one month before 9/11. He is also a Colonel in the army. He was in the Pentagon on 9/11 and he also does not believe the official report.
I have believed that it can be seen clear as day that all 3 Towers were brought down by explosives. Also, I feel that 9/11 was a tool used so the government could manipulate the laws and constitution to better fit their needs and not the freedoms of each and every American citizen.

One of the most disturbing events in modern history. 9/11 represents all the video and film production expertise Leni Riefenstahl could have only dreamed of......the visual proof of explosives is undeniable and the opinions of so many make 9/11 the most important event in American history. Unless the truth can be told, the US as it was known, is gone.

I have no official degrees I am just a concerned citizen who believes that the United States government is withholding information about the 9/11 attacks and the real reasons for the occupation of Iraq. I personally believe that it all stems back to greed. All the people in our government had too much to gain from those attacks for it to be a coincidence.
The speed of the utter destruction of the Towers resembled a controlled explosion. After the planes struck the buildings many people were evacuated and firefighters said the buildings were structurally sound. But then all of a sudden the buildings collapsed at almost the speed of free fall. Firefighters testimonies, photographic evidence, and satellite scans show large amount of molten steel at Ground Zero yet jet fuel doesn't burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel. Several Skyscraper have endured longer and hotter fires and not fallen.

I'm just another person that thinks the whole 9/11 story is a farse. I think it's clear that they AT LEAST lied about it. The thought that they would do it themselves is still hard for me to accept. But I can think of no other logical explanation for lying about the deaths of thousands of people. The lies were for the purposes of protecting someone. Who would want to protect a mass murderer? The only reason to protect a person like that is if you are that person.
I know nothing about engineering or architecture but it doesn't take a well educated person to KNOW that something fishy happened that day. The building just immediately collapsed inwards. I've never seen an object turn to dust and fall to the ground like that. When you punch a hole in something, it falls towards the hole. The political repercussions are also just too convenient.

I attended Hennepin Technical College, Eden Prairie, MN, and graduated with a degree in Land Surveying. I have worked for land surveyors and civil engineers for 23 years.
I have many doubts about the official story. I have read many articles about the events of that day from sources other than the mainstream media, and they make more sense to me than the official story. I don't believe the towers could have collapsed the way they did, in their own footprint, without explosives. I believe it was a controlled demolition. Those towers were designed to withstand aircraft crashing into them without collapsing. Also, I can't believe that our complex, state-of-the-art defense system, in all locations affected, was completely thwarted by those blamed in the official story. It is preposterous to me that a few guys with box cutters could take over several planes. I believe the events of that day were all planned ahead of time, with cooperation from anyone necessary, to make it happen.
