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 absurd to think that WTC 7 collapsed as a result of the events, as generally promoted, surrounding September 11. - - - - It is indeed depressing to observe that a large number of United States citizens didn't even know that WTC 7 even existed.

The destruction of the WTC seems suspect to me as the towers collapsed into their own footprint vs an asymmetric fall as you'd expect with failure due to fire. The free fall speeds of the twin towers, along with the free fall speed of the un-hit WTC are all suspect. This coupled with the findings of iron spheres and thermite raise concern of use of demolition charges that contain these compounds.

Occupation: Electrical And Mechanical Design Engineer
I studied electrical engineering at Sherbrooke University's coop program where I had a chance to get internships for an engineering firm specializing in institutional and commercial buildings, in the maintenance team for Sherbrooke University maintaining the electrical system for the entire campus, at a mining company working on the electrical system in the mine, and finally with a paper mill having similar responsibilities. After University, I found work as an assembler for my current employer assembling TEMPEST equipment for various government clients. After a year on the production floor, I was hired on the engineering team. Since then I have been designing TEMPEST equipment for the defense industry.
I was still at university on 9/11 and I remember the feeling of coming back home from class that morning and seeing the planes hit the buildings on TV... then seeing them collapse... over and over again...I remember seeing a quick news flash about WTC 7 which never made sense to me. No Plane, no official attack on it of any kind... really, no reason for it to fall. But, we went back to the reel of the planes hitting the two Towers and I kind of forgot about it. It was a few months later that I heard about it again and really started questioning it. I strongly believe that the demolition of WTC7 was planned and calculated. The only piece of the puzzle missing may have been a plane hitting it to give it a reason to fall. The evidence and the science behind it proves without the shadow of a doubt that there needs to be an independent study to finally find the truth on what happened to that building.

This is what the US media brainwashes all our citizens with, instead of informing us of the facts about what actually happened on that day. Americans need to be informed and educated so more people can stand up and make a difference.

Nowhere in academia or in practice is there evidence to support the NIST's assertion of a new phenomenon. This is a discredit to the entire Institute. Cover-up of truth, is however, not new at all, although it is enjoying an apparent resurgence in popularity. Why can't we get a serious and independent (non-government) investigation of this phenomenon?

I have been engaged in the design and project management of public buildings in diverse environments for most of my 35 year career. Half of that time was as principle architect in my own 15 person firm, and half as senior project manager in several larger E/A firms.
Do not attribute to deviousness, what can be explained by stupidity. (Lew Wallace, while Territorial Governor of New Mexico). I have no doubt that controlled demolition played an essential role in the collapse of all three buildings. But I can imagine scenarios in which the explosives were placed (for stupid reasons) without expecting the attack by airplanes and then were implemented in response to that attack (again for stupid reasons). Conspiracy requires a level of intelligence not in evidence. Cover up is the primal response to stupidity.

The 9/11 and NIST reports were childish in their attempt to explain the cause of events that had no realistic chance of occurring: namely, the destruction of a modern steel frame building with simple fire. The NIST report on 9/11 generated only shame for the governmental efforts to cover, cloud, and deny the facts of the events on and around 9/11. Among the scientific and engineering community is a patriotic effort to begin fighting for the truth of the incident - the first of its kind of America. And it's about time.

I have dedicated my professional career to issues of sustainability in architecture. My experience has included a wide spectrum of building types and sizes including; large retail mixed-use projects, single family residential, education, sports and recreation, and urban design. I have also provided sustainability consulting as a LEED Accredited Professional in addition to architectural design. I see sustainable or green design as an opportunity to improve peoples' quality of life.
From the very first moment I saw the images on the TV of the towers falling, I felt there must be some reason for the collapse other than the plane crashes and resulting fires in the buildings. It seemed to me that the damage would be limited to floors where the planes hit and the fire was able to spread and therefore any collapse would be partial, but not total. I also wondered how the failure of this magnitude was possible when buildings are designed with redundant fire and structural systems to address instances specifically like this event.

I have a Bachelors of Applied Science in civil engineering. I am an intelligent person with a solid educational foundation in the physical sciences.
The nature of the buildings' collapses alone raises so many questions from the perspective of scientific plausibility that I believe it justifies another better, sensible and comprehensive examination of how precisely the towers collapsed. Add to that additional doubts about so many other aspects of the 9/11 official narrative (from whether the President saw the first tower hit on TV to how terrorists could take such advantage of the surfeit of war games on that day), and I think there's no doubt we're in need of serious inquiry.

The official version is a lie. The story that office furniture brought building 7 down is beyond belief. Larry Silverstein's statement that they should 'pull it'is a demolition term. The BBC woman reporter telling us the building came down one half hour before it did is also incredibly amazing.

It was an attack on the people. Had it been planned to actually do damage to the institutions they would have bombed Wall Street, not just symbols or landmarks. Plus NORAD standing down is something nobody understands.

I am a college student. I've always maintained a high GPA and I solve problems with logical thinking. The way 9/11 was orchestrated with all of the coincidences just doesn't make sense. Logically, none of the story adds up. I hate dishonesty as well as corruption. I want to see the world shaken up. I want answers. I want to expose the corrupt head of the government.
I knew very little about engineering before my digging around in to 9/11. Then I found out that the collapse of the buildings does not make sense. None of the story makes sense. I'm sick of lies and corruption. I do not believe that honesty is too much to ask for. In my opinion, the elite wanted to attack the Middle East for their oil.

It's clear to me, after some research, that we, the American people, have not been told the truth behind 9/11. It seems we have been used as pawns, manipulated by the powers-that-be, to push their unethical, immoral, and despicable agenda. I'd like to see justice served. The criminal minds responsible for the hundreds of lives tragically lost, for the thousands+ families/loved ones who remain devastated, and for the millions who've been further enslaved by the 9/11 devious plot should be exposed and held accountable.

Truth seeker, asker of questions, doubter of the 9/11 commission report. Not the smartest guy, but smart enough to ask questions.
There are too many holes in the official narrative of September 11, 2001. The fact that not one, but both Towers came down at free fall speed raises several flags (false flags if you will). But the most puzzling aspect of the events of 9/11 was WTC 7, which suffered no significant damage and was not hit by a plane. These points I make, as well as the rest of the movement, are definitely cause for a private investigation of 9/11/01.

The official account of the events of 9/11 is not possible. The N.I.S.T. Report's proposition that 3 concrete and steel buildings fell due to fire is totally bogus. This therefore puts the government in a very indefensible position regarding the facts.

Medical doctor. I am a scientist and cannot understand why WTC7 collapsed. It makes no sense whatsoever.
There is too much uncertainty about the reasons behind the controlled demolition of WTC7 that there should be a full and independent review to explain the basic physics/engineering behind the very clearly and heavily documented events of 9/11 given the massive loss of life that day.

Obviously a controlled demolition of at least 3 buildings with official incorrect narrative stating otherwise. All perpetrators to this crime remain at large and demand prosecution immediately. Also related is the controlled demolition of the Pentagon, which should be prosecuted as well.

I once was a volunteer Firefighter and went to fire school in Wolcott.
I have watched hours of video on 9/11. At first I was skeptical and believed like most of the general public until I watched some very well documented videos explaining how a skyscraper is built to withstand fire, and heavy loads. Also, that jet fuel alone could not have melted the steel. WTC 7 collapsed the very same way and was not struck by a plane. Over the years, researchers have pointed out that there have been lots and lots of high rise fires even worse than WTC and none of them collapsed.

Well, I've studied in aeronautics to be a 3D designer/conceptualizer. Never worked in the field because of 9/11. I started this diploma in September 2001 and when I finished, no job in aeronautics. The field was all messed up and I had to change career. Now I'm finishing a bachelor degree in 3D Art and I'm happy about it.
I saw the event live, was at school and they opened the TVs for us to see. Saw the second plane crashing and the building collapsing. It affected my life a lot because I was in the aeronautics field and it kind of froze me in my tracks after the events. Early on I started to do some research and the first movie that really convinced me that this was false flag bunk was Zeitgeist the documentary. I was also indirectly affected by the Madrid Bombing. I was there for a school trip the day it happened.

We want the truth! Answer this: 'Why did Tower Seven collapse?' That building's collapse was barely covered by the media. Most people don't know a third tower collapsed. Watch the PBS Documentary 9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out Final Edition, 60min. The documentary proves explosives were in the Towers before the attacks. Once again, the media does not report these findings. Six corporations control 90% of the media in America....The media is owned by the wealthy elite. Sept 21st, 2001 - Gen Wesley Clark describes a memo he was given.. (10 days after 9-11) 'This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.'

Obvious controlled demolition of three buildings. NYC police, firefighters aware of the type of destruction but prevented from stating that. Almost immediate destruction of evidence of a crime scene with carting away of rubble, evidence of thermite, shipping of steel remains to China. Buildings were engineered to withstand large aircraft, office fires from burning jet fuel insufficient heat to cause support beams to melt ergo: thermite destruction of main steel support pillars. Thousands of qualified engineers around the world disclaim the illogical statements promulgated to the public by the 9/11 commission.

After all the research I've done, I believe that the truth concerning the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon has been deliberately withheld from the public. There are too many discrepancies and unanswered questions about what happened that day that can no longer be ignored. I want to be involved as much as I can with spreading awareness of the facts that point to establishment involvement and intentional cover-ups.
