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.

There is no history of any high rise building collapsing from relatively minor (or even major) fires. The isolated damage to #7 could not have made the building collapse. Also, it collapsed from the bottom, bringing the entire building down on its foundation as would be entirely expected from a planned implosion.

I hold two engineering degrees as indicated above (1971, 1972), but have not been employed as an engineer since 1978, when I followed other endeavors. My background and experience in engineering and the sciences have however continued to guide my daily work in those other endeavors and my consideration of issues such as what really happened on 911.
The official explanations of what happened on 911 are simply not plausible. I find the collection of evidence from Achitects & Engineers for 911 Truth to be compelling, and although the exact truths are difficult to discern, what this organization suggests must certainly come very close. Regarding in particular the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings, I believe the use of explosives has now been amply proven to be fact.

I enjoy going to rallies to promote peace, and resolving conflict with diplomacy as opposed to weapons and warfare.
There is so much I could say about the events of 9/11/2001. What sticks out in my mind the most is WTC building 7. This building was not hit by a plane, it had sparse office fires as a result of falling debris from the other 2 buildings. All 3 of these buildings were built to stand the test of time; yet on 9/11/2001 all 3 came crashing to the ground at free fall speed. It is physically impossible for Building 7 to fall at the speed of gravity unless explosives were used. Aside from that Larry Silverstein in an interview stated 'We decided to pull it'. That has not been discussed in the news ever since. This tragedy requires an Independent investigation. We owe it to the brave people that lost their lives that day, to the families that have lost their loved ones, and to the innocents that have died in the wars waged in the name of this tragedy. We owe it most to the future generations of this country. If our country is not rooted in truth, our foundations will crumble.

The destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 was pre-planned and methodical. The means was cutter charges and other explosives as evidenced by witnesses and the forensic examination of dust samples. By not investigating the overwhelming evidence for controlled demolition, law enforcement agencies are remiss and more than likely complicit in this crime of mass murder.

After exposing myself to countless amounts of information over the past few years my opinion remains strong; the public has been lied to about the true events surrounding 9/11 and the people deserve answers. Clearly the Government is hiding something or else there wouldn't be so many unanswered questions. We demand justice!

I'm a college drop out who journeyed to Alaska to work on the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and decided to stay and make a life and career of the Alaska Oil Industry.
I was in Oklahoma City the day the Federal Building was blown up. Within weeks, as the original news (both TV a local print) stories began to change from the OKC police finding bombs in the building to the national narrative of a lone nut/Ryder truck bomb, I knew something was very wrong. So, when 9/11 occurred I stopped listening to the national media outlets and focused my attention on the internet for the TRUTH.

I earned my AS for Computer Drafting and Design from ITT-Technical Institute in December 2011. I'm currently seeking a second AS for General Education and a certificate for Drafting CAD from Antelope Valley College. I then plan to transfer to Woodbury University to earn my BA in Architecture. (ITT-Tech's units do not transfer due to their accreditation). Since graduating from ITT-Tech, my first job in my career field was a MEP Designer for a MEP engineering and design firm. I was with them for about a year. I was also able to freelance for an architect located in Georgia, picking up red lines and creating layouts for several commercial projects for about 6 months. I now have been an Architectural Designer for a small design firm located in Burbank, CA for almost a year. I enjoy every minute of it and look forward to growing and learning with them as I continue to pursue my degree in architecture.
"I didn't believe it when I saw it on my television that morning and, ever since that day, I just knew there was something not correct about it and how the media was telling the 9/11 story. After some of my own research I had many questions and began to search for answers only to find that I was spinning my wheels because the stories about the 911 events that were available were all redundant and seemed to all be pointing the finger at terrorists. After some time, I started to find that little by little people were waking up, asking questions and, trying to get it out. I watched a documentary called ""Zeitgeist"" (along with many others) and found that I wasn't crazy for not believing the mainstream media and that there were in fact, others who had the same feelings about 911 as I did. So, I have been doing all I can do to try and educate people and be a part of the movement of people that want to get the truth out there because we all deserve to know who the real terrorists are."

Fact: almost 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered on 9/11. Every American should continue to seek any new information for the sake of the individuals killed, their families, and American rule of law. It has been many years since the NIST report. New evidence and forensic techniques are now available. It is a tenet of the 'American way' that we never leave our brothers or sisters behind nor abandon our search for the truth; ever. It is therefore our responsibility and obligation to them to investigate and evaluate any and all available evidence. I therefore, demand further investigation by qualified and vetted independent experts into the events of 9/11, the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers, and the murder of American citizens. This investigation must be comprehensive, rigorous, and transparent to the American public. ALL available anecdotal and forensic evidence must be gathered, cataloged, examined, and evaluated on it's own merits. Conclusions must be made on the facts alone and published for consideration by the US government and American public. In particular, I demand this investigation address the possibility that incendiaries or explosives were present in the WTC Towers (since NIST did not investigate this line of inquiry). Further, the current explanation for the failure of Tower 7 is insufficient and would benefit from a rigorous independent investigation. Lastly, the handling forensic evidence at a crime scene or disaster is subject to clear protocols and legal guidelines. Given the magnitude of this crime and the loss of American lives, any party responsible for willful destruction of evidence or the intentional misrepresentation of facts must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of US law.

I am 79 years old and have nothing remarkable or useful to offer. I have just read your supporting documents concerning this horrific attack by our own people; i.e. the evil, the rich, the greedy, the morally bankrupt, self aggrandizing, entitled, mental midgets who are so self serving if makes one want to puke! And they generally get away with it. Look at that piece of human garbage we have as a president now.
I think this was the Bush's, Rumsfield, and Cheney's means of getting support for the wars in Kuwait and Iraq. Oh! Did my string of adjectives adequately describe them? Once found guilty, I think they should all be executed!

From the very first TV news videos it was apparent that those structures had been blown up with sophistication and contemporary explosive design......why? We know now with regards what the suited criminals have done to what was once the American democracy ideals. One must remove the base of any structure in order to allow gravitational forces to bring the remainder of the structure down. Democracy has been exploded into the oligarchy that we live with at present. No truth. Only lies.

I completed two years in college and was employed in retail as a baker for 36 years in a local grocery store. I was also employed as a representative payee for the developmentally disabled for 24 years.
The official story states that all the floors of both towers 'pancaked' down to ground level. Speaking for myself, I have yet to see a single one of these 220 floors. Where did they go? The destruction of WTC 6 is especially intriguing. A huge crater in the center of the structure all the way down to the subbasement can not be explained by falling debris from the North Tower because there is practically nothing in the hole. Also, why is it that this merely eight story tall building towers over the debris field?

I have an AA in music, graduated Magna Cum Laude. I was studying further with a double major in Jazz Performance and Classical Theory and Composition in the Dean's College at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (IL), but was unable to finish because of alcoholism. I have since been recovering from alcoholism for 24 years now, and as someone having had to revisit the past and learn from the mistakes and experiences of the past, confront the truth and live according to the truth (everyday), that it is imperative for there to be another independent investigation into what really happened on 9-11. If we do not reinvestigate to learn the truth - the fear, resentment, and confusion of that day will determine our future (and in a very bad way).
I have always believed that there was something really wrong with the explanation for way the Towers, and especially Building 7, were destroyed.

Watching the second tower fall live that day, something in my heart and mind knew that it was not right; that a law of physics was being eliminated in some way. When I finally saw the video of Building #7 collapse at free fall speed, then I knew that the law of 'Conservation Momentum' had been taken out of play by removing all sub structure at the same time. The symmetrical fall, with all four corners of the building falling at the same start time, and fall speed, was a dead giveaway. Reading the 911 Commission Report two times, and not seeing much mention of Building #7, left no doubt in my mind!

"Looking at NIST's statements about World Trade Center building number 7 and putting it into logical form I have concluded that building seven was taken down by controlled demolition.In addition with my education, observing freefall is an impossibility unless the buildings were taking down by explosives.""NIST's lead technical investigator, Shyam Sunder, stated in the WTC 7 technical briefing that free fall could only happen when an object 'has no structural components below it.'[ii] The only way for a building to have no structural components below it is to remove the lower structural components with an external force such as explosives. If the upper part of a building is crushing its lower structural components, in other words, doing the work of removing them, not all of its energy will be converted into motion and its descent will not be free fall.""Let f = free falls = structuree = explosive demolition! = not> = then!f > s > !ee > !s > fif s > !f= !(s > !f)= !s > ff = trueTherefore:!( !f > s > !e )f > !s > e"
