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 concluded early on that the official explanation, even before the 9/11 Commission report, did not add up. The first couple of items that I found suspicious were 1) the pulverizing of the concrete and 2) the free fall of the Towers in less than 10 seconds. Since 2001 I have read many books on the subject starting with Painful Questions by Eric Hufschmid, The New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin (I saw him speak in Berkeley a year ago with Peter Phillips) and Towers of Deception by Barrie Zwicker the latter of which included the CD The Great Conspiracy. From the latter book I agreed with the author (and Richard Gage whom I heard on KPFA today) that there needs to be another, more thorough, investigation of the events of 9/11/2001. To add to my list of suspicious items, I saw a public showing of a CD, in 2004, where the focus was on experienced criminal investigators and how they were making the case about the rapid shipment of the steel from the Towers to India and China and that act was destroying evidence at the scene of a crime. I worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center from 2001-2005. I was amazed how otherwise very savvy physicists and engineers didn't want to entertain the thought, or evidence, that the official explanation did not add up. They willingly accept the official pancake theory. I have my own theory about their willingness to accept the official explanation. Several years ago I came across a term called cognitive dissonance. The psychological description goes like this: the term describes an uncomfortable mental tension that arises from results from having two (or more) conflicting thoughts at the same time i.e. The Towers falling was a bad, terrible event and My government is here to help me and they couldn't have had anything to do with the destruction of the Towers.

As Richard Gage and Donald Meserlian have made abundantly clear, the collapse of the three buildings at New York's World Trade Center did not occur to the crashes of planes in two of the three buildings. The evidence of thermite demonstrates indisputable that more than planes, more than jet plane fuel, was involved in the demolishing of the three buildings. The questions are first, exactly what brought the buildings down; and exactly who, other than al Qaeda attackers, was responsible for the tragedies; and finally, why was this done. For the sake of our country, the government must allow an independent investigation of 9/11 in New York.

I have a BSME and MSME from West Virginia University. I've been a research engineer at a DOE national lab for 27 years. I was a member of the Flow Rate Technical Group that investigated and determined the oil leak rate from the Deepwater Horizon.
It is impossible for Building 7 to have collapsed in such a perfectly symmetrical manner by any means other than an intentional controlled demolition by a large team of experienced engineers. I have no idea who did or why, but it was not a natural collapse caused by office fires.

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in Industrial Engineering in 1963, continued for two more years in Electrical Engineering in a Masters Program at UC Berkeley. In 1967 I began full-time employment as an electronic engineer for the next six years. After this time I continued to work as an electronics and then software engineer for several other companies.
After reading all of Professor David Ray Griffin's books about 9/11 -- especially his last one, The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7 -- I find it simply impossible to believe the official government conspiracy narrative regarding the events of 9/11. The NIST report of WTC7's collapse was, for me, the icing on the cake confirming my disbelief.

The systematic blocking of scientific research in the 9/11 targets is supporting the idea that some decision-makers do not want to hear the truth behind the plots. This is a criminal act in a situation which has led to several illegal wars and killing of a few million innocent people in the oil producing countries. A cornerstone of democracy is freedom for scientific research.

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.
