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.

First hand witness of remaining structures, ongoing fires, statements from workers (construction and rescue). Spent 2 weeks, everyday, on site. I have researched via the internet and am convinced of the reliability of the information regarding the destruction of the WTC 1,2 and 7. I fully support renewed investigation into what I now consider a criminal act.

In January 2004 I stumbled on a web site that showed evidence that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11. It is clear that the buildings had help to bring them down. The collapses of WTC towers 1 and 2 were obviously far more energetic events than can be explained by some sort of progressive gravitational collapse initiated by a simple weakening of the structure by hydrocarbon fire. Here I am thinking of the tremendous dust clouds (pyroclastic flows) and the nearly free fall speed. Building 7, not hit by a plane, appears to have been a classic controlled demolition, and perfectly symmetrically executed.

Retired. Work on F4D, A3D, DC-10, T-45, and F-20, in flight tests and flutter models developing instrumentation systems and some instruments. Developed instrumentation tape recorders both ground stations and high environment types for aircraft and missiles. Was a problem solver and project engineer from the beginning as a technician before finishing my degree, and through out my career.
As I watched the TV of the planes hitting and the collapse of the towers and Bldg 7, I said to my wife, They were imploded. To me it was obvious that was the case, because they came down in their own footprint. Later when they cleared the site before forensic evidence could be collected and examined, as was done in Oklahoma City, I became certain that it was setup. My theory is that after the first attempt on the towers, the powers-to-be managed the installation of the charges, how I didn't know, but then they waited for the Muslims to strike again; using it as an excuse for the war and Patriot Act.

I work in the R&D department of an animal research equipment manufacturer. I had previously interned at the Penn State Electro-Optics Center working with Ultra-fast laser research.
Looking at the evidence objectively, I can only conclude that the plane crashes and resulting fires were not the sole cause of the collapse of the Twin Towers. The way the buildings collapsed indicated that there was some pre-meditation allowing for the near perfect collapse of the towers with no real damage to the rest of New York City. Furthermore, what most people forget, is that a third tower fell that day, WTC 7. I have yet to find a satisfactory answer as to why a few office fires and some falling debris could bring down the entire WTC 7 building in a manner identical to the other towers. The physics of it all make no sense based on the 'approved story', and I believe we deserve the truth.

I am very concerned that the government can present a story about what happened on 9-11 and everyone, including the press, just believes it because they say so, regardless of conflicting evidence or lack of supporting evidence for the official story. Something terribly bad happened on 9/11 and after. This country can not get back on the right course until the events of that day are THOROUGHLY and TRULY investigated and justice served for the 3000+ of my countrymen that died that day and those first responders who are still dying.

I always have been a firm believer that the United States Government have been responsible for the events on 9/11 and use a terrorist plot to cover up their actions. The American people as a whole are dumb and gullible and bought into it without question. I am not a demolition expert but I understand physics and believe that explosives are the only way possible to bring down all three buildings.

I believe that 9/11 was a planned event. None of the 'evidence' provided makes sense. As an ironworker, I have good knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of heavy iron, and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to weaken the steel to make it collapse.

My husband was scheduled to fly to LA on American flight 11 on 9/11 but missed his flight due to illness (the hand of God?). The wife of our high school's asst principal was on that flight, as well as my mother's best friend's daughter (a TJ Maxx executive), and our tailor's wife.This tragedy struck so many lives locally that it is offensive when people suggest the planes were not real.Getting to the truth of what happened that day is critical if we are to get beyond the persistent dis- and mis-information. It is time for America to wake up to the criminal agenda.

I am an every day middle class rut citizen here in The U.S. born and raised. I have no experience with architecture at all and am a professional musician. I finished High School as well as my first two years of college before realizing it was a waste of my money, spend money to become another slave for this country, no thank you.
I may not be an architect, but I knew from the very beginning there was something VERY wrong with what happened on 9-11. Too many coincidences that couldn't just be coincidence. Now, even science is proving that the American people as well as the world were lied to.

The statements about what happened do not make sense. Experts say that no Steel building has ever been destroyed by fire, and building 7 wasn't even hit, yet went down as a demolition. Later witnesses (5 years later when required by law) the firemen said they heard explosions. The clamp down on interceptor planes, and the loss of video evidence from the Pentagon attack, among many other things, points to an inside job. It needs to be objectively investigated.

Based on the evidence that I view through the internet... Facebook, YouTube and other Internet sources... It appears that there are a very large amount of evidence that the 9/11 incident was clearly an inside job... From the hijackers, the air planes, the way the buildings fell, to the witnesses, the extraordinary heat at the bottom of the buildings after they had fallen etc... There are a lot of questions that needs to be answered...

I attended West Chester University of Pennsylvania where I studied science. My desire to seek truth led me to find out more about September 11th, 2001 than the government led us to believe.
Americans were lied to on September 11th, 2001. Our democratically elected leaders were complicit in the one of the most dastardly crimes in history. This lie and cover up has brought our country to the point of no return unless we the general population can begin to think critically.

I am currently a student at Eastern Washington University going for a degree in Biology Chemistry. My family has never supported the reported 9/11 statements and therefore have not brought my brother or myself up in believing those statements. My education on that day has come from independent research, documentaries, interviews and conversations had with my family, mostly my brother concerning evidence that we found disproving what we as citizens were told to be true.
I was just a child when it happened. Still in elementary school. I remember not even knowing the World Trade Centers were in America. I just didn't understand what was happening. At school us kids thought it seemed kind of cool. Obviously we just didn't understand the magnitude of the event just yet. We thought of it as just big airplanes flying around doing tricks and really big buildings. There was fire and explosions. To kids all of that sounds pretty neat, like a movie. We had no idea of the repercussions following that day. Our teachers were hardly in class that day it seemed and when they were they looked scared or worried. Us kids had no idea how many people died and how many would die following that day. At the end of the school day there was an assembly called for whole the school. They told us that on the other side of the country two large planes crashed into the side of a very tall and important building with a lot of people inside. A lot of people died... They didn't tell us that it was terrorists or just a crashing plane. They never said what caused it to crash, probably to not scare us too much or maybe they knew we wouldn't understand anyways. But we're not kids anymore... I am 95% sure now that it wasn't a terrorist and sure wasn't a surprise attack when it happened. I know that Larry Silverstein made huge profits after 9/11. I believe Israel played a huge part in the attacks and the planning along with some parts of our own government system. I believe al-Qaeda was created and funded by the U.S. Government. I could continue. Uncovering what really happened that day should be high on the priority list. I support this petition.

I don't really have any relevant biography, except for the fact that I am sickened by how evil and dishonest the leaders of our government were at that time. President Obama needs to stand up and do the right thing! George Bush and his clan need to be prosecuted! So sickening.
How has this country become so corrupt and evil? What is it going to take to prosecute those monsters?

As a layperson, I had doubt about the official versions on this incident, especially after observing the way the buildings collapsed, and the finger pointings even before thorough investigations had been done. I had a strong inclination that 9/11 had been used as an excuse by the US to invade Afghanistan resulting in the massacres of tens of thousands of innocent Afghans, especially children, women and the elderly. Such atrocities must not be condoned and every culprit, the 9/11 and the resultant unjustified invasion of Afghanistan must be brought to justice and punished for his/her crimes. For this to happen, a truly independent commission of enquiries with subpoena power must be established to conduct investigations on the matter and bring every culprit to justice.
