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.

All the evidence needs to be looked at because the 'official' explanation doesn't fit the free fall of building 7 and the near free fall of towers 1 and 2. Why was there little or no structural resistance from the lower floors when the buildings came down?

As a leader in the fire rated glass and metal systems supply I have witnessed and performed many tests to ASTM E119. For 20+ years we have developed, manufactured and supplied fenestration and framing systems with up to 2 hour ratings. Having a pilot scale oven and running the time/temp curve in development of new products I know how steel performs. I was one mouse click away from being on Flight 93 so it only seemed right to fight what I knew could not be.
The actions of that day called me to duty and until the guilty are brought to justice I can not stand down. My sincere hope is that there are enough honorable men and women, like yourselves, to win this conflict. UL is scum for keeping their mouths shut and I hope they are held to account as well. When I saw the towers fall it was very clear fire was not the cause. It is great to not be so alone in this view anymore. Having been called everything from a nut to traitor for my views, I thank you. As a former member of the USN I swore an oath to, ...defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.

I took my degree in architecture from 1987 - 92 (5 years degree). Immediately after, I worked at an architectural office in Lisbon but quickly found my happiness working for myself, which I have been doing since 1997.
The WTC destruction, or better yet, controlled demolition and faking of a terrorist attack is the most blatant crime I can remember in my 50 years of life. I believe that if the truth is to be uncovered, it will be a decisive turning point in the way things work. I really am hoping for a quick resolution to this disgraceful situation so as to: give some sense of justice (if possible) to the victims families and to bring the real criminals to justice, signaling to all others that the days of impunity are over. This will be an hugely important precedent to change the derailed and asphyxiated American justice system.

For the past 6 years since 9/11, my belief in the official media accounts of what happened to the WTC that day has been gradually but increasingly eroding down to disbelief. Yet, I have been willfully disregarding any 'conspiracy theories' that loudly and obnoxiously point fingers at the Presidency with more hatred than evidence (Bush has some power, but he is not omnipotent!). But, after stumbling upon this site, I find some of my colleagues have been quietly and steadfastly giving this issue a fair and rational assessment that I now think deserves my attention and support. There are many serious questions that have yet to be answered about 9/11, and I am looking forward to being part of the movement towards uncovering the truth, whatever it may be, wherever it may lead us.

Based on the observed evidence from 9/11, I believe the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers 1,2, and 7 were a pre-planned demolition using rigged explosives, possibly Thermite, placed in critical locations in order to bring about a total collapse and destruction of those buildings. It is preposterous to suppose that the buildings experienced a total collapse due to damage incurred by airplanes or fire on the upper floors of the building.

Born in poverty in rural Georgia, I finished High School and college with a BS in math and a minor in industrial education, I have taught school, run several businesses successfully, been a stockbroker, a futures broker and trader and am currently in the log home business. We manufacture and sell log home building materials, selling materials all across the US. My company has survived the housing explosion and though I am retirement age I want to work as long as I can. I have been successful using the tools of hard work and the truth. The truth is what calls me to join AE for 911 truth. Lies have been the order of the day in our once great country for way too long. It is time to spread the truth far and wide no matter who does not like it. My hero said the following: 'There is not a truth existing which I fear, or would wish unknown to the whole world.'' Thomas Jefferson I stand with him and AE for 911 truth.
Even a novice can read enough to understand that only three concrete and steel buildings have ever collapsed in history and all three of them on one day. A very low level of understanding might have one thinking that the two towers that fell might be explainable without resorting to conspiracy but building seven having not been hit or otherwise severely damaged is a smoking gun. Thank God for your organization because there is NO higher calling than seeking the truth. Godspeed, and take my support with you, how I wish it could be much more. Ed Croker

Still can't 'get over it' like so many people tell me to do. Hard to believe this level of destruction and death has yet to hold anyone accountable. The level of cover up is immense and I'm tired of people calling any truth seeker a 'conspiracy theorist' when the conspirators are still at large. There is no way a few men armed with box cutters could pull this off. No conceivable way!

I have lost friends over this,and my co workers think I'm crazy,oh well,no turning back after you are awake,i woke up 4 years ago on 9/11 even though there were many red flags,with the little voice screaming 'something is wrong here',how did Building 7 go down,why are we going into Iraq? It goes on an on.
I watched all buildings go down, didnt turn off news for 2 weeks watching the coverage, in tears the whole time, I don't believe the 4 planes were ever flown into anything but a hanger outside Boston where everyone,mostly except the handlers were gassed, I think military, missiles or remote controlled weapons were flown into the 3 buildings and the fourth was intended for Building 7,

One does not need to be a structural engineer or physicist to know that steel frame buildings don't collapse straight down into their own footprint due to fire. Once you look at the evidence and listen to the experts you can't believe NIST.

For good reasons I am absolutely convinced that the WTC buildings were very intentionally destroyed by a controlled demolition on 9-11-2001. I demand a new official investigation on what happened on September 11th, 2001. Billions of people all over the world, including myself, must suffer for the consequences of this event while only very few did profit.

The original report causes more questions than answers. There is no way those planes would have not fallen apart before even getting to the towers. The wings would have sheared off even if they made it that far. Which they couldn't. Also there is no way, without help, they could have fallen at freefall. All we want is the truth. We deserve the truth. All the people who lost someone that day deserves the truth. America can never move forward until the past is revealed.

If something can't happen as alleged, then it didn't. Finding thermite explosives in the dust, explosions pre-collapse, and the entire preposterous conspiracy theory of Arabs with box cutters reveals it's utter fraudulence. Not to mention the equally ridiculous claims about the Pentagon. The entire saga from top to bottom just doesn't hold up to rational scrutiny.

9/11 represents a turning point in American foreign policy. The loss of thousands of innocent American lives both on and since 9/11 demands honesty and clarity in the events on that day. A responsible government would not hesitate in uncovering the truth. The only way to achieve justice and closure is for a transparent, formal investigation with subpoena powers by a prosecutor with no conflicts of interest. Remember... steel buildings do not collapse at free fall without explosives.

The A&E for 9-11 Truth, along with trusted friends, were instrumental in my awareness of the full scope of the false flag operation known as 9/11. Your efforts, along with others, paint a clear picture in my mind of what really happened. The whole operation was clearly an inside job, and in the end we have lost more freedoms in this country and stand to lose more if we fail to get the message out to more people and persist in our efforts to do the same and get more folks energized and angry about it all.

At this point, I do not believe this is relevant as I am a member of the general public. Just an interested, sympathetic, sincere human being wishing to see justice done.
My heart and soul goes out to every single victim, every individual still suffering and the families who have lost and continue to lose loved ones every day since. This entire event, the deplorable crimes committed make my soul sick to its core. I am an absolute firm believer in the conspiracy and without any shadow of a doubt, wish to see everyone responsilble punished as they should be. This should be and needs to be investigated independently and justice given to those lost and suffering. Thoroughly disgusted and eager to contribute to the cause.

I don't believe the official 9/11 analysis from NIST since it was published. AE911truth is very compelling. I think it has a good chance to achieve an new open and independent Analysis about what really happened on 9/11/2001. Only the truth and clarity can heal the bereaved and I hope this will happen some day. I also hope that it will happen before 2020.

My insurance career started in 1974, when at the age of 16, I worked for my father in his agency during the summer. I returned in 1984 full time, became licensed, and I now run the agency since my father passed in 2012. Although I am licensed in all lines, my specialty is in property and casualty.
I recently became aware through a connection online of what really happened on 9/11, based upon the evidence presented in the PBS documentary: '9/11:Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out' and it is incomprehensible that they got away with an insurance job on the WTC and a war for no reason other than their own self interests.
