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.

So many of our beliefs are given to us -- and never questioned. And many of these beliefs are myths. And many of these myths are not useful. We need to begin to wake up! At some point, our cognitive dissonance no longer allows us to not question our myths. The 9/11 myth, unfortunately, strikes me as another obvious forgery. While this is only one of the myths we need to abandon, it is, to me, a smoking gun. Our nation, and our decisions, need to be based upon an open analysis of data with integrity -- not myths. Ultimately, can a nation or people that places myth before truth be successful?

Watching the symmetry in which all three three towers collapsed directly into their individual footprint was both momentarily hypnotic and totally unbelievable. During the myriad of replays I viewed, before and during each tower collapse, I saw and heard different events taking place that fully convinced me other forces were at play bringing these buildings down. To name a few: 1) explosions coupled with smoke appearing at the base of the towers moments before the collapse. 2) squibs appearing to shoot out from various floors far below the initial damage area. 3) the manner in which the dust and smoke seemed to be expelled up and out from the building like an explosion as it descended. What also disturbed me was the area was totally void of being treated like a crime scene by police and government officials. Structural material was readily hauled away and shipped to foreign lands without any scientific or engineering analysis being performed. Having spent over 23 years in the military I knew in my gut with the speed at which critical evidence was disappearing and flat out lies being told by government agents, i.e. Like the aircraft black boxes found by fireman and taken by FBI agents, then making statements they weren't found. Mohammad Atta's wallet found in pristine condition a couple blocks away. Well gentleman, I smell the same rat I smelled at various times during my military career. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it until the truth is known and all involved held fully accountable, regardless of how far up the chain this trail leads us. There WILL be accountability for 9/11...

I've studied Architecture at the Technical University of Delft, graduated in 2000. I've been working since as a civilian architect.
In my view the collapse of the three towers/buildings was not due to the impact of two planes and an office fire. Visual, sound and witness material makes a controlled demolition with thermite/thermate use much, much more likely. The official narrative just does not fit in so many ways. This is wrong. - - - - I'd like to see the truth come to light for the freedom and good of all people in the world, especially for the American people who seem to been betrayed behind their back without knowing and are factually lied to, to this day.

I am still shocked by the large number of victims from the 9/11 attacks, and I want know the truth. If we can't identify the perpetrators now, justice will eventually find them. In my country in the 1980s, terrorism did much damage; thousands of attacks left 70,000 victims. Part of it was also state-sponsored terrorism.

Upon witnessing the destruction of all three WTC buildings on TV as it happened, I have remained highly skeptical that an aircraft colliding with the two towers at the height above the ground that it occurred could have caused the two to collapse in the manner observed, and Building 7, not being hit by aircraft, collapsed in a typical manner by which demolished buildings implode.

There is the law of physics that cannot be gotten around. In my opinion, it is not possible for a fire on one or two connected by rebar reinforced concrete floors, to do any significant damage to any floors beyond one floor down or two floors above, much less to cause them to collapse. They were demolished with explosives to have collapsed within the two minutes before they collapsed. I distinctly heard the explosions as a Japanese helicopter flew around the trade center while it was smoking.

I also have my own side business as an artist which is my long term career goal. I care very much about our environment and work as hard as I can to contribute positive change to our beautiful earth. I'm very concerned about finding out the truth of what really happened and who is responsible for the horrific events that took place on 9/11/01. I have always had faith in the U.S government and have always felt truly blessed and safe to be an American. My core beliefs have been shook due to the undeniable evidence from 9/11 that has been collected. Something has to be done and it is up to the people of this country to make it happen
The people responsible for the tragedy that took place on September 11th 2001 need to be held accountable. We the people of the United States Of America are a owed answers from proper investigation into the day that claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people. Our government was put in place by the people and for the people and they should be working for us and not against us. It is clear based on all the evidence collected over a decade that our government was behind some if not all of the events that took place on September 11 2001. I refuse to remain silent on this matter from this day forward!!!! WE NEED A NEW INVESTIGATION!!!!

I have no professional experience. But after years of getting information, there's no other way to see the official story as anything but a fraud. And I want the truth.
I was asleep on this issue until I saw Loose Change on the internet in 2006. I've been hesitant to accept the controlled demolition theory but after watching Gage, Jones, and a few others who have spoken out, I have to accept it. I want to know who was behind this because I know it wasn't some people living in caves, bringing box cutters onto a plane. Until this is out in the open, we will not be America. We will only be people living under the guise of democracy, too asleep or too afraid to think otherwise.

I knew something wasn't right the day of Sept 11. I have worked in burned out buildings, and many structural steel buildings from the ground up.
I knew something wasn't right that day of Sept 11. My suspicions were proven, in my opinion, when they started carting off the debris so soon before a thorough investigation could take place. It really breaks my heart.

I have more than the high school physics education it takes to soundly debunk the official story of WTC7's collapse. Now what?
For years I didn't even know there was a third steel skyscraper to collapse on 9/11. When I saw the footage for the first time I had the same reaction many news anchors voiced live that day- it's eerily similar to a controlled demolition. When I looked deeper, with an open mind, I found that the physics of the collapses confirm that observation and expose the official story as clearly false.

It is inconcievable to me that all three buildings collapsed as they did - especially bldg 7 which wasn't even hit by a plane - but exploded independently and fell to the ground as if it were caused by a controlled demolition.

It is impossible that this was caused by the reported cause of disaster. Through misinformation we have received a false idea of the events. It is very clear that these were intentional and caused from within the boundaries of the Unites States as opposed to foreign intervention.

I just retired after 34 years of work in one place. My health is sliding faster then I would want. I'm diagnosed with C.I.D.P. It's a rare form of Neuropathy. It affects all muscles also. It gradually gets worse all the time and there is no cure. I hope to travel some and to get back into hiking again. My time is running kind of fast now. I've had this for 10 years now. I got it from taking statin drugs. I just turned 55 years of age.
I was at work on 9/11 and some co-workers and I were listening to NPR on the radio while working. Then the news came over the radio about the first strike. One co-worker went to his locker and retrieved a 9 inch TV, which we watched. We just quit working and were in silence as we watched the second Tower get hit. Then we watched in horror as the first Tower fell. I always remember this next part. Not knowing the truth for another 9 years, I turned to a co-worker and said, Wow! They sure don't make buildings like they used to. When I did see the truth, it was because I was looking for video footage of 9/11. I was blind sided.

I have studied History, American Studies and Politics for 5 years, and have been specifically following the fall out of 9/11 since the day it happened. Only now does it feel like the truth may come out, with the support of academics and architects particularly.
It is very clear that amount of concrete and steel couldn't have been displaced by a simple 'pancake fashion' collapse. Some explosives must have been used to take the three Towers down, into their own footprint, at free-fall speed. The implications of explosives however, are of epic proportions.

The Twin Towers exploded into dust and shattered steel. I don't believe that the Towers collapsed spontaneously. It looks like controlled demolition. Plus, Building 7 imploded late on 9/11 and it was not hit by an aircraft. All the buildings collapsed like the art of controlled demolition.

I am an American citizen and have been living in Israel for the past 40 years. Still, I try to pay attention to all that is going on there. However, it was the official story and that alone I was hearing over the news media. Then I was sent a video by someone I work with.
After having heard what Architects and Engineers were saying about the collapse of Building #7 at the Trade Center, I found their conclusions as to the events that took place that day to be shockingly believable.

We have three children, and my husband has been working as a musician playing the French Horn his entire career. I did not find work in my field when I came to Israel, and studied to become an English teacher, which I was never entirely satisfied with. All my life I have been creative with my hands, and made a business out of it when the internet first became popular.
Having heard the explanation of what happened to building #7 from Architects and Engineers, among others, I became convinced that the official story is not the real or whole story. Also so many reports of explosions that were ignored in the official version; calls in itself for further investigation.

Based on my own research into the circumstances surrounding the 9/11 tragedy, I believe there is a lot of information being withheld from the general public that we have a right to. One of the first steps toward revealing the truth is a full understanding of those circumstances, which is why I believe a deeper investigation into the collapse of the buildings is of utmost importance.

I have no relevant technical education/experience, other than college level physics. I do have a degree in Agriculture from the University of Georgia.
I have recently reviewed several documentaries featuring Richard Gage and I'm completely convinced that the official story is the either the result of professional neglect or outright criminal intent on the part of those charged with investigating the events of 9/11 and interpreting those events for the public. I am reasonably convinced that all of the WTC high-rise collapses were due to controlled demolition.
