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.

It is so obvious that WTC 7 could not have fallen so perfectly given the official story. There must be a truly unbiased investigation conducted.

There is no scientific means that the crash of the jets and subsequent fires could have caused the structural failure and collapse of Tower 7 and Towers 1,2. If well observed in all collapses one can see demolition blasts sequences as the tower come down. Surely they must be thermite charges because they are the only type explosive that could generate the heat for structural steel failure and sequential collapse. Also when one sees the vaporization of human and material remains and the debris pike below glowed at 3000 degrees f with thermite traces, it is obvious it was a black ops operation.

Before earning a Masters of Divinity degree in 2007, I worked as a manufacturing engineer for two years and as a design engineer for four years. My interests include energy generation, theology, philosophy, science, and weapons.
Yahweh once said through King Solomon, The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him (Prov 18:17, NASB). The unwillingness of the federal government to allow third-party examination of the 9/11 events and evidence raises many red flags in my mind. I find the inside job arguments, especially those pertaining to building 7, to be cogent.

As the evidence accumulates that is inconsistent with the official version of what happened on 9/11, I find I can no longer believe it. In particular there is incontrovertible video evidence that the news media was fed information that Building 7, which was not hit, had fallen and this was being reported while Building 7 continued to stand in the background behind the reporter reporting that it had fallen, which it then proceeded to do a few minutes later. The absence of any information related to 9/11 in the FBI's wanted poster for Osama Bin Laden, reportedly due to lack of evidence, the building owner's reported acquisition of greater insurance coverage a few weeks before the attacks, the absence of plane debris at the Pentagon and Pennsylvania sites, and the physical facts about the melting point of steel and the heat generated by airplane fuel, all added together continue to contribute to my skepticism about the 9/11 official version.

I hold a B.S in electrical engineering from New Mexico State University which was obtained in May of 1993. I currently work in a Quality Assurance Engineering capacity for an entertainment and event ticketing company. I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ.
Strictly through the viewing of the fall of the towers and my familiarity with the principles of physics, I find it impossible to believe that the buildings collapsed in the fashion that they did due to the collision of the airliners alone. In addition, too many coincidences and discrepancies in the preparedness of our air force and government point to the fact that either this was planned and known, or our leaders are so grossly incompetent that they are not even qualified to tie their own shoes.

"I watched the planes crash on television in our workplace cafeteria. I, along with the other architects and the engineers, were shocked. We all stood around asking ""how was that possible?"" A major building to go down like that is what building demolition experts pray for and often enough, things go wrong. How could the twin towers collapse so 'cleanly' and so precisely? It defies engineering logic."

I'm a 49 year old man. Single father of 2. I'm the plant supervisor at a cryogenic grinding company. I'm worried about my family's future. I always tell them to be proud to be an American and that we live in the safest place in the world. The more I learn the facts about the Towers the more I understand I'm being lied to. How do I tell them I might have been wrong? I just want the truth. no matter how bad it is.
Ive got to admit l'd forgotten about 9/11. Mainly because of all the silly conspiracy theories. The PBS documentary definitely moved me and got my attention. Laws of physics don't lie. Then I learn NIST never tested for explosives. WHAT?!?! Our government needs to do a real scientific investigation. Because the more I read these reports the more ridiculous they look. All we can do is spread the word about these facts. I have surprised a lot of people with the things they didn't know about steel structured buildings. WTC 7 drops in 6.6 seconds? I bet there is demolition company's that couldn't drop it that fast. Who needs demolition crews away, NIST claims all you need is a match.

My knowledge of 9/11 has been gained only recently. I have a science background, not technical, but I am fairly convinced of the rationale of the 'inside job' theory based on the data presented by A & E.
The story told by mainstream media conflicts with actual footage of the destruction (bldg 7).

It's time for justice for the murders of innocent citizens. Those responsible need to be exposed and prosecuted by the USDoJ. We need accountability within our law enforcement and elected officials. Having a badge or holding an office grants you no special privileges. I am disgusted with the media, governmental agencies for thinking the public is stupid enough to believe that terrorists managed to cause 3 structurally sound buildings to collapse. It's a sad day in the U.S and we demand an unbiased and unmolested investigation into what really happened.

I am an honor student in high school. My Dad convinced me to watch your videos. My Dad tells me to trust our government, but after watching your video he has changed his outlook on America, and so have I.
At the time I was too young to understand, but I know how it troubled both my Mom and Dad. After I watched a PBS video I started to see the facts.

I have a bachelor's degree in art history. I have been working for a global consulting firm since 2006. I specialize in forensic accounting, international fraud investigations and corporate bankruptcy.
It is my position that the skyscrapers were destroyed by controlled demolition. It is my position that no conventional aircraft, passenger or otherwise, were involved in the destruction of the buildings. I do not accept the video footage made available to the public to be accurate representations of the events. I am in support of initiating a new investigation, which will include the right to inspect the surviving debris. I am in support of the determination of the reason for the destruction that is consistent with the laws of physics.

Third level ed. +. I do not wish to appear to brag about what I consider to be a basic liberal arts education.
Having read Prof. Neils Herrit et al.'s paper and studied video footage taken on the day, followed Mr. Chandler's mathematically founded reasoning and having seen NIST not finding evidence of explosives for which they did not look, I consider that an independent open minded investigation of the cause of the collapses is the minimum that the citizens of the non-US world are due - particularly so given that U.S.A. foreign policy after 911 was based on the 'War on Terror'!!!

Plumber/Construction worker - first hand experience with builders, owners, contractors trying to ignore costs and health issues with removing asbestos. If they can get away with not paying for asbestos removal they will attempt it. Workers risking their health is irrelevant - workers are their to be used and abused and disposed of like cattle for the evil greedy rich.
When I learned that the owner of the Towers and Building 7 was avoiding removing asbestos and collecting on insurance, my question as to why would the buildings come down if the planes didn't cause it. Why? Insurance fraud, asbestos. Now it made sense why they would come down - now there is a reason, no mystery - it's clear, it's crime. It's greed profit. Insurance fraud and fake war on terror to mask Cheney/Bush family private pirate raids for oil in other countries.

What they tell us is obviously not true, and, they abuse the fear created that day to start wars under false pretense. They even enforce laws taking away basic human rights. This is not right and would never have happened if the general public knew the truth. Lets hope some of the horrible things following out of 9/11 can be undone.
