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 appearance of the collapses and the lack of sufficient momentum to cause the rapid global collapse seen below the points of impact of Towers 1 and 2, imply that some type of planned demolition took place in those buildings. The collapse of WTC 7 was clearly a planned demolition.

Most skyscrapers have intense protection against fire, but in case they catch fire, they don't collapse so uniform and smooth like WT7 did. The other option is the use of explosives. The official story of 9/11 contains many discrepancies, and a lot of cover up did happen.

Worked toward my degree at U. of Minnesota, Duluth, then transferred to U. of Minn, Minneapolis. Studied Mechanical Engineering, and some Aeronautical Engineering. Received my degree in June, 1974. Worked at A.G.McKee Engineering company in Hibbing, MN for about 3 years.
After the planes hit, I thought: Well, that looks repairable. The twin towers stood up to the impacts well. The fires were smokey, but didn't look hot at all. I thought it was fishy when the towers collapsed, but eventually put it in the past. Until I saw one or two 9/11 videos and absorbed some facts, like the 9.5 seconds it took for the buildings to collapse (free fall speed); the molten steel in all 3 basements 6 weeks after 9/11; the way the lobbies were blown apart and the injuries people had from HIGH VELOCITY explosions. Jet fuel might make a low velocity explosion, but it wouldn't blow people's skin off. Building 7's steel beams were incredibly massive because of the electrical substation below it. They wouldn't allow it to collapse the way it did, without high explosives. We would've seen some unsymmetrical partial collapse somewhere among those 3 buildings, not 3 perfect collapses into their own footprints.

I have a high school education and I'm a hairdresser. I'm a social and political activist and have been for many years. My experience is that I'm a very informed citizen, and I know my government's history of false flag operations, and I've been saying since this happened that if nothing else, Building 7 was not hit by a plane and should never have collapsed. You don't need to be an engineer to see this.
I don't know exactly who was involved but a real investigation needs to take place. We may never know who participated, but an investigation still needs to be conducted. We owe it to not only the people in the towers that were killed, but the families and all the innocent Afghans and Iraqis that have been murdered in our drummed up retaliation to this crime.

The biggest problem for this very honorable organization is that most people cannot conceive that the controllers of world governments could perpetrate such an horrendous attack on innocent people. Well, in my very carefully considered opinion they did and this then proves that they are capable of anything. Hopefully good will eventually prevail.

From the moment I saw the video of the two towers' collapse which was about a half hour after the actual event I was surprised and shocked that it actually occurred. My gut reaction was that they shouldn't have collapsed at all.Then when WTC7 imploded I knew something was terribly wrong with the official narrative that was already beginning to be developed and shown on the TV.I am deeply saddened and appalled that the absurd myth of the 19 hijackers has been given such unquestioned credibility by the mainstream press and even progressive leaning alternative media. It was the defining moment of the century so far for the U. S. and the rest of the globe and it is the mother of all lies! Hitler would have been very impressed.

100% controlled demolition. They had to take out all core columns at precisely the same time to have that building collapse like it did, common sense really.

The morning of seeing the television coverage I spoke aloud immediately to co-workers in the room re plane hitting building ''that was a demolition'' and stand by my initial instinct (a/k/a inner wisdom) to this day. Although none of my co-workers agreed and I was ostracized for my belief, I yet stand firm in my initial instinctive knowledge. I saw a demolition of buildings when I saw the television coverage.

One thing I am not is a Conspiracy Theorist. What I am is a realist, and we, as a 'World community need to know the truth about 'What Happened' before we can start to look at the 'Who' and then 'Why'. What I see is overwhelming physical, photographic, and eye-witness evidence that I feel proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the N.I.S.T. Report is Incorrect, and that a full independent enquiry be carried out. My eyes are my judge, and the evidence is the evidence.

I am well read and I am awake. I will retain my commitment to the truth no matter the resistance of any party public or private, for that I am responsible.
I want the truth to be made public officially by the United States government and the perpetrators publically charged, prosecuted and made to pay the price of their treasonous activities. Murder is punished by death in most states of this federation. I do not believe in state sanctioned murder in any form, even as punishment for this heinous crime against humanity. Poverty, persecution, hunger, deprivation, isolation and disenfranchisement for life should be their punishment.

When I first saw the events regarding the Towers in New York City on the news in Russia, I questioned to myself 'How can such large and tall buildings fall so easily'. I would like to see an investigation so that the guilty are brought to justice.

There are too many unanswered questions, too many concealed and ignored facts.This never couln't be done by 19 Arabs, not even with the help of Osama bin Laden. The credibility of the government is at risk. Not even the government, but this NIST investigation causes harm to the US basic law.

I am an educated woman in my late 20's. I work in the insurance field and I have a husband who is a Chemist. Both of us share the same views on the investigation and think the public deserves an open forum in which to be presented the evidence by reputable individuals.
I wish it didn't come down to what the official word is versus my common sense as a human being, but not unlike you folks, I cannot look at the evidence and even begin to believe the story we were given. The investigation performed by the government elected team was a mockery to the people who lost their lives that day and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. There were no common criminal investigation procedures accounted for... the dog did not bark because the criminal was its master.

High school graduate from Baylor School. I was sitting in class when the incident occurred. At the time, I was completely lost to the world. I didn't know anything about the Twin Towers; what they were, where they were, their significance, etc. As the story unfolded to as what supposedly happened, I felt as if the story was fabricated from the beginning. As I grew older, I grew wiser and began to open my eyes to what was really happening in the world. Continued to research the 9/11 event and started wondering if there was anything that could be done even with all the hardcore evidence proving the government's stories are false. I'm glad I came across this site, seeing that there is something that can be done to move in that direction of actually getting the truth of what went down.
I don't believe there were people on those planes.
