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 have a Bachelors of Architecture from the University of Saint Thomas, Philippines, 1964. I've been licensed in the Philippines, WI, IL, and FL, and am now retired. I was involved in the following high-rise buildings: 80-story Standard Oil of Indiana, Chicago; 39-story Gateway lll, Chicago; 49-story One Shell Center, New Orleans; 50-story MidContinental Bldg., Chicago.
I was a field office design architect in the office of Edward Durell Stone Assoc., during the 4-year construction of the 80-story Standard Oil of Indiana (now Aon Center) in Chicago. It was built using the same WTC structural system. I believe a steel tube structure cannot totally collapse due to fire without extensive use of explosives.

To me it has been obvious that controlled demolition and not plane crashes & fire were the causes of the WTC collapses since I saw the first TV reports on 9/11, 2001. The blatantly dishonest official story, the cover up and media efforts to hide the obvious are frankly very scary to me. A new and thorough investigation is absolutely needed, but it must be conducted by those outside the influence of the perpetrators. Perhaps this new investigation is a task for a foreign government, possibly Canada, or the UN.

The way theses buildings collapses is very strange, especially for building 7. I don't understand why the two first towers fell like that because of a fire in the UPPER levels. I can understand that the upper levels fall down but not the entire building... this is very non-natural.

I'm an EE, Lamar University 1988. Moved to Vienna Austria in the early 90's. I've run my own consulting firm since 1994. We make software systems for industrial clients, specializing in refinery finished product blending advanced process control and optimization, as well as power generation. We perform consulting services for the same industry. I don't work in construction (although I did back in the US), but the physics and math presented to refute the claims of NIST are simple enough for me to understand.
I don't know what happened, but having read quite a bit, and watched quite a few videos, it is clear that the official story is not true. We need a new investigation. Particularly easy to follow is the WTC 7 situation, 2.5 seconds of free-fall, after it was NOT hit by a plane and only had office furniture burning for some hours. No variables in that situation lead to free fall destruction of a steel frame skyscraper. It's collapse by fire is just not physically possible. Very many factors in WTC 1 and 2 also need a new investigation, but WTC 1 and 2 are (obviously) more complex than WTC 7.

It is obvious that the controlled demolition theory is the true one. It is also obvious that the official theory is not correct. I particularly note that the politicians involved even today are strongly ignoring the facts and are doing everything they can to cover-up, and fight against the truth coming out.

I have worked as superintendent and general superintendent for a number of companies, building large buildings, high-rises, and warehouses. I am retired now.
I saw a documentary about a French photographer and his brother who had selected to document the lives of fire fighters and 'probies' at a firehouse right next to the WTC. I believe one of them died in the event and the other was able to capture on film the collapse of the second tower well. How did they select that sight? Who paid them for their work? In this film there were flickering lights, as in a controlled explosion, going from left to right starting with the top floor and going down floor by floor until about the fifth floor and then everything was obscured with demolition dust and total collapse. Obviously that firehouse was the first to respond. Was this British film a simulation or did it capture the truth? My other question is this: would it not have been wiser to douse the burning debris with water flown in by helicopters until all burning had stopped before sifting through the burning debris for human remains?

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.
