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 attended University of California at Berkeley in 1984-1986. I studied at the College of Environmental Design for a Bachelor of Arts degree, but added classes in the Structural Engineering Department for an Independent degree entitled Architecture and Structures. - - - - I worked in the field, including many years for Jacobson Silverstein Winslow in Berkeley before starting my own practice Erickson Zebroski Design Group, Inc in San Francisco in 1994. Our work focuses primarily on Residential design.
I had gotten up early on Sept 11 2001 to catch up on some Architectural work, while my 18 month old son slept in the other room. As I watched the towers collapse on TV, my first thought was that the buildings fell too neatly. My second thought was that my life and the life of my son would change dramatically from that moment forward. - - - - Reading through the information that later came out about the collapses, I've never had a doubt that it was a planned demo and attack. The evidence is just too strong and compelling.

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

In 2007, as I started my first year in film school, the chef at the restaurant I was working at turned me on to 9/11 truth. Coming from a conservative background, I denied and repelled the information he offered, that our own elected officials would murder it's own citizens for any reason. He gave me links to investigate the evidence and certain documentaries to watch. Here I am, almost 3 years later and constantly searching for things I can do to wake people up. The best thing we can do is provide indisputable evidence.

I am a city and regional planning major at Ohio State University Knowlton School of Architecture. I have researched and published professional journals in the field. I research many diverse topics surrounding architecture and city planning. I have always found the 9/11 event very questionable and have a tremendous amount of curiosity about the investigation, motif, and accountable person(s).
I believe the events leading up to, during, and after 9/11 are irrefutably coordinated by an entity far more powerful than a Middle Eastern gang. When thinking of my personal opinion and feelings about the events and where we are now because of the tremendous influence 9/11 had, I feel angry, saddened, fearful that our country has lost its identity, but also I recognize an opportunity. I believe this has awakened a lot of people who were previously sleeping. Without a doubt more than a majority or at least a large population remain asleep, but those of us who do not simply believe what we are told, and what we see from the lens of a camera, but ask questions and search for the truth, are inspiring others.

There are way too many unanswered questions from the World Trade Center destruction. These are left even unasked, from the post-attack preliminary-investigation. With no hesitation I demand a new totally open public investigation, unlimited in scope-of-inquiry -- even if such may open disturbing issues requiring honest and open resolution. We must accept nothing less than total openness and an an impartial search for absolute truth. The USA and the world deserve no less.

I am a professional Music Composer and an Audio Engineer with several Gold records to my credit.
I actually worked at the World Trade Center Tower 2 back in the '80's and when I turned on the TV that dreadful morning of Sept. 11th the first thing I thought of were all of the workers in the basement and sub-basement levels. I was an Executive Chef working for Inhilco back in the '80's and spent many hours below the street levels ordering foods and designing my menus based on what was in season. To date, I have heard nothing of the potentially 100's of people working there who were incinerated in these rarely spoken about Explosions in the sub-basement levels. After trying to avoid looking at the horrible truth, I now have to admit that I am NO LONGER asleep. Of course these buildings were BROUGHT DOWN by controlled demolitions. And the amount of sophistication to pull it off had to have taken A MINIMUM of 9 months to a year to put into place. Elevator upgrades?? I think not!! That (The elevator renovation) cover supplied the context for which the Super Nano Thermite Gels and dry explosives were slowly put in to place over the period of...many...we will never know for sure...months...so that once placed this False Flag Terriorist operation could just play out, giving the Bush dynasty it's Gulf of Tonkin to proceed into WAR.

Both my sons and their wives are professionals that live and work in the Tampa Bay Area.
Ever since we witnessed this terrible tragedy questions have been asked that, until now, had gone unanswered; questions such as 'how is it possible that a terrorist organization could have carried out such an attack against the most powerful and highly sophisticated country in the world without the help of an equally powerful and sophisticated organization?' and 'how is it possible that the Twin Towers and surrounding buildings collapsed the way they did out of a two plane strike?' Having witness many building collapses due to fire, earthquakes, bombings and controlled demolitions throughout our professional carriers we know these were staged controlled demolitions and now it has been proved. - - We have been slow to react mainly out of shock and disbelieve that we may be the victims of an internal attack from a home grown terrorist organization that believe themselves to the be the owners of the world. This has got to stop! It is up to us to stop it! If it can be done it is through our democratic process. We owe it to the future generations.

The way the Towers fell is a clear sign controlled demolition was involved. Then you study the scientific facts and the evidence becomes too big to ignore. WTC7 is also a huge smoking gun!

I am a high school honor student graduate, with three of four years completed of college education. I have a tremendous amount of background knowledge in chemistry and physics.
I know that the collapse of the Towers, including Tower 7, were not possible through the planes hitting the buildings alone. There is remarkable evidence that thermite and/or shaped charges were used to bring down the buildings. These could have been planted during the security blackout overseen. An independent investigation is being demanded by the people. We are the taxpayers, We are the people, We are the power.

I'm very interested in knowing why so much evidence was being discarded and how is it that there were no investigations as to answering how was it possible for the building to collapse in such manner. I think is a responsibility of the government to account for the events that happened n 9/11.

As the film shows, the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building #7 appears to be a controlled demolition. By who, we don't know. Whomever was involved, it is very unsettling that Americans are this vulnerable to attack.

I wasn't very old at the time (age of 9), so I don't remember much of the actual event, but I remember always being suspicious, and now the evidence is more than overwhelming. Americans (and the rest of the world, really) have a right to know what happened on the day, analyzed through completely unbiased, scientific ways.

I, like so many people, believed wholeheartedly what our government and so called media had told us to believe that fateful day on Sept. 11th. I was glued to the TV all day and couldn't wait for the evil Muslim terrorists of the world to get what was coming to them. sigh .. It wasn't until I got online one day and heard someone speak out against everything that I THOUGHT I believed in, that I woke up to the truth! I remember spending days and days watching videos and reading blogs and articles that clearly, without a doubt, showed how the buildings did not just fall down because of planes crashing through..ugh! It was a planned demolition. I am now one of the millions of people who are demanding that the world know the truth! I gladly sign this petition! Thank you for all you are doing!!

I am a late-forties American who always hopes for the best in man and government, but sometimes we have to deal with the truth. I generally do not buy into conspiracy theories, do not believe in anything (ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc) until I see it with my own eyes. (None has happened so far.) But the scientific evidence in the 9/11 scenario really makes me want to support a new investigation. The initial 9/11 investigation just does not add up. Time to get an international and objective team in to go over it all.

I have no formal engineering background. I have designed and built many ICF (insulated concrete form) buildings. When I say 'design', I actually design the steel reenforcing concrete for those structures and have a licensed structural engineer sign off on the design for permitting.
I know how concrete, and especially steel reenforced concrete, react to loads. I know that what happened to those buildings is a scientific impossibility! I saw 20 or 30 of the top floors of one of those buildings begin to topple over and know that it should have continued because the building below it was still sound and should have forced it to continue falling. Instead, every floor had to have been completely destroyed to allow it to cease its momentum and begin falling straight down. Again, I am no engineer, but I do know the basic laws of motion.

A qualitative understanding of what is meant by 'gravitational collapse' should be enough to convince anyone who has seen the various videos of the destruction of the World Trade Center that something is horribly amiss with the official narrative. In addition, the fact that steel evidence was largely destroyed and that the little steel evidence that was preserved and analyzed does not support the official narrative (FEMA Appendix C, NIST metallurgical tests) is more than enough confirmation that a fraudulent 'official' investigation has been perpetrated.
