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.

Based upon observation of debris field, smoke patterns, lack of standing columns, presence of bent columns with no visible stress fractures, photos of column remains indicating use of linear explosives, as well as lack of historical evidence of steel buildings of this nature collapsing from fire, it appears highly improbable that not one, not two, but three steel towers collapsed from fire within several hours of each other.

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?

My life has been severely changed, forever, since that fateful morning. I travel the world constantly and witness, firsthand, the devastating effects of 9-11 on all of our civil lifestyle and liberties.

I demand my government reopens and investigates ALL evidence and ALL events surrounding 9-11.

All aspects of the collapse of the skyscrapers on 9/11 fit perfectly with controlled demolition. The official report statement, that the skyscrapers collapsed due to the impact of the planes or falling debris, does not make sense from a technical point of view. It does not line up with the character of the collapse, the reports of people being able to descend past the impacted floors during the fires, and multiple corresponding witness reports of molten steel and secondary explosions, including the explosion on the ground floor before the first plane hit the first tower. Given the enormous undesired consequences of the skyscraper destruction and of 9/11 in general, it is crucial that the case of 9/11 is reopened in an impartial and independent investigation.

The first thing that concerned me in the 'pancake' theory of the tower floors was after I saw photos and plans of the core column structure. There is no contiguous floor through the core area. If the floors did pancake, then the basically hollow square floors outside of the exterior of the core would have sheared off and collapsed leaving the core standing. As an analogy, the core is the 'trunk' of the tower, giving bending resistance (stiffness) and vertical support. There is no reason to believe that collapsing floors surrounding it would affect it.

My Opinion, after reviewing information presented, is that all three buildings were precision demolished, and that our own government was potentially complicit in their destruction. The operation had to be very expensive, and required military grade demolition materials and setup. I feel that the destruction was instigated to facilitate our insertion into war, none of which have resulted in permanent peace. I believe that the jets that were flown into buildings and pentagon were strictly for cover and agitation.

Keep going people many of us are pushing the facts and educating the public on 9/11 an inside job.
Fire Dept records show there was never an inferno in the 2 big Towers, via Thermal imaging cameras or that WTC7 had any significant fires at all. Eye witness testimony from William Rodriguez... the 160 scientific papers showing the WTC Towers were all dropped with thermite and explosives.

It's absolutely ridiculous to claim that the three collapses weren't a controlled demolition. You don't need to be an engineer nor an architect to clearly see the contrary. It's just insane to deny all the undoubted evidence and it really annoys me to hear all this propaganda they feed us. Engineers and architects signed here, I'm a big fan of you and I believe that the truth will come out one day. Actually, for many of us here, it already has.

While I watched the live, televised footage and wondering if my brother was safe, I thought to myself as the first Tower went down: 'Oh my God, they're imploding them!' I have never seen a burning building collapse straight down like that. Then the second one did the exact same thing. I was aghast.

We are witnessing the rebirth of the old national manifest- destiny myth. 9/11 was an act of machiavellian state terror, meant to legitimize in the eyes of the public a wave of hitlerian wars of agression which endanger the survival of our species.

I have been researching this for seven years,. Yes it's all real. I was in a group chat with some architects and engineers who were pointing out lots of facts that prove the collapse of the Twin Towers, Building 7, and the pentagon was wrong.
It was proven a controlled demolition. There was thermite found in the ash, and there was molten liquid coming out of the back of the building.

When I viewed the AE911Truth videos I was very shocked to see the evidence of thermite that was found in the WTC dust, and the ridiculous claims that Building 7 collapsed because of fire. I think of all the many innocent lives that were lost on that day.

I am an avid reader and self taught on many issues. As a child, the magic bullet theory in the Kennedy assassination never made sense to me and I began researching that in my pre-teens. The more research I did into our government, (no matter the subject) the more corrupt they proved themselves to be, ie: The Gulf of Tonkin, the 1953 Iranian Coup, The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Operation Northwoods, Iran Contra, etc, etc, etc...

I have been an active member of society and abiding by the law without any mishaps. I am currently working for a healthcare insurance company as a medical claims examiner and plan on continuing school to further myself in the medical field.
I, as many others, am completely at awe with what happened on 9/11. There are so many unanswered questions that I feel should have been answered by now. The fact that three well built buildings were reduced to complete rubble on the same day within the few hours that it took, is completely absurd. I have seen the footage and there has to be foul play behind this entire incident. The government should open its doors freely for a thorough investigation to ease the suspicion that this was an inside job. Only those who have something to hide have trouble answering simple questions.

I am not an engineer, but modern skyscrapers should not collapse when hit by airplanes. Nor should they collapse from office fires within them. I appreciate the architects and engineers who can say this with factual explanations and who are willing to do it. NIST has lied and mainstream media have not spoken out. There is damage to our democracy which can probably only be remedied by a popular groundswell of voices urging investigation. The families of all who died in the 9/11 disasters deserve truth.

Alas ... It is a sad commentary on our country, to have waited over 12 years, with all of the really intelligent well-educated people, many of whom know the story and effects of physics, and demolition . . . to have only recently come out of the World Trade Centers' closets ... only now are beginning to rethink the travesty of such untruthful consequences, resulting in our stumbling through two wars. Why . . . . . ?

I was in my sophomore year in high school when I saw the planes hit the Twin Towers. Years later my girlfriend provided me with some materials she was researching on 9/11 Truth and I began to see there were too many disparities and holes in the official story. I have questioned the official narrative ever since.
It is not conducive to reality that 3 steel enforced structures fell into their own footprint; especially WTC7 that was not hit by a plane at all. 9/11 needs to be re-investigated to provide real justice to the victims, their families and the millions of Iraqi and Afghan civilian's that died in the name of this tragedy.
