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 always thought that the gov't. was turning a blind eye but dismissed their direct involvement. This is hard to swallow but is a very convincing argument. My only question is, if these charges were placed, why haven't the perps been ID'd/come forward? It is a hell of a secret to hold all these years.

All alloy metal have a very specific malleability when exposed to given time and temperature. The girthers ( frame ) used in construction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 are designed to withstand a passenger plane impact. It is scientifically impossible that a metal structure building (wtc 1, 2, and 7) given the time and temperature (911 Commission Report ) to collapse.

I currently build new stores, remodel & expand existing stores, and build fuel facilities for The Kroger Company.
As a civil engineering student at West Point on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, I marveled at the explanation that jet fuel could melt through structural steel, how the buildings could collapse straight down at near free-fall speeds through the path of greatest resistance, and how many witnesses reported hearing explosions. After further research and hearing the commentary of fellow professionals, I could not concur with the official explanation offered by the government & the 9/11 Commission.

What can I say? One has only to look at the collapse of Building 7 to dispel all doubt that the official story is a lie. Futhermore, it is impossible that 3 buildings should collapse at free fall into their own footprint within brief hours of each other where no high rise has ever come down in this manner before and where other fires burned much hotter and much longer.

I've seen other investigations of the 9-11 attacks and they all point to the same thing, but the listing of reasons for doubting the official story as found on this web site is both the most succinct and compelling I've yet seen. As I read some of those points I thought Of course! I should not have needed an architect to point out those things! It is clear that further investigation is needed with testimony by experts such as Richard Gage.

I have seen footage of buildings being brought down by demolition, it is the only way an entire building can free fall into its own footprint. The minute I watched the Towers on 9-11 come down I knew in my heart it was a demolition that caused it.

I'm a graduate of Boston University. I have owned and managed several successful businesses. On 9/11 I was working for American Airlines on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
I have read numerous articles and viewed many documentaries regarding the 9/11 attacks. To me, the evidence is clear. The planes did not bring down one building. The Towers were built to withstand a plane crash. The simple fact that jet fuel does not burn at a temperature hot enough to melt the steal, should be a big eye opener. How can anyone believe falling debris and fire brought down Building 7??

I am a gardner, no experience with buildings. Do have common sense and one pair of eyes. The official story doensn''t add up.
Planes penetrate steel (the wings) doesn't seem very likely. Building 7 was pulled according to Mr. Silverstein. Pulling takes weeks to prepare. The steel and rubble was rushed out of Manhattan without any tests.

I run a bee/climate non profit... have always been invoked in the environment and social justice projects.
From the minute I saw the first Tower fall (second hit), I thought it was a controlled demolition. While prior to that, I'd seen TV shows (3 or 4) on controlled demolitions, I thought that was reasonable.... though of course I am not a professional architect nor an engineer... after researching the evidence found, and the since the buildings could NOT have fallen- within their own foot prints at free fall speed, there is no other way it could've fallen. In addition to the Tower evidence of Buildings 1, 2 and 7, the fact that the Pentagon was not hit by an airplane, and the fact that we went immediately to war with Iraq, instead of Iran where Osama bin Laden was supposed to be, the entire 9/11 fiasco wreaks of a false flag event. This, of course, is not all of the evidence, but that would be ridiculous to list as I'm sure you know it.

Official narrative is false. I question why it took so long to investigate. Then when investigating, why so underfunded? Too many rules of physics and science broken in destruction of towers to believe official narrative. Too many breakdowns in defense systems. Incredible rush to judgement an hour after buildings fell. Too many reports of explosions completely not investigated by commission.

An engineered manmade implosion, rigged to appear to be a terrorist attack to lay the ground work for future constant surveillance, stripping us of our freedoms and ultimately instituting Martial Law and the NWO. I have never believed the farce about terrorists doing this on 9/11 - this was done by our own people here and it was a false flag that has continued to fool the mass population who believe the lies they are fed by all the agencies and media involved in this conspiracy. Our own government are the terrorists, which is so sad to know in all truth, but continued lies and deceit are the answer...Truth is what needs to be revealed by those who are brave enough to fight for it and expose it. Those are the true heroes.

I have read many articles on 9/11 and watched videos. I do not believe the government story on this tragic event. First, an airplane cannot take down a building that was built to withstand hurricane forces, quakes, etc., etc. Had to be a ground up explosive. Type of explosive, more powerful actually, than what was used on the Murrah Bldg. in OK.

I am a private citizen who is devoted to exposing the truth in every phase of life. In terms of 9/11, I have come to believe that the lies vastly outnumber the truth.
It took almost ten years for me to really face the idea that there was something fundamentally wrong with the official story we were given regarding the events of September 11, 2001. Since then, I have read several books, and viewed even more well-done documentaries exposing much of the official story as inadequate, at best and most often, as blatantly inaccurate and not able to stand up to analytic scrutiny. I believe it is time to initiate real scientific investigations of that terrible day and to uncover the actual truth.

Thorough independent investigation is needed around the destruction of the Towers on 9/11. There are several evidences indicating that the buildings would not have collapsed the way they did just with the impact of the planes. Truth must be found to bring the real people responsible to justice.

No doubt that from the first reports Building 7 was a well planned and implemented demolition job. It had to have taken several months to plan and wire the building for demolition. Can a building fall on its own foot print as a result of debris from the trade center? Will we ever be told the truth?

I studied Gadren Design & Hortriculture at college here in the UK, which sparked my interest in building design and how structures are built and designed. From this, I plan to study Landscape Architecture in the near future when I have saved enough moeny. From an early age I have taken a keen interest into design anf architecture, and I have made several models of structures and buildings using various pieces of sofware such as AUTOCAD.
Summarizing from 3 years of personal research into the collapse of towers 1, 2 and 7. The towers did not collapse due to impacts from aircraft, or structural failure, but were demolished via the use of explosives (nano-thermite) to enable the towers to collapse at free fall speed, with no resistance from the compacting floors as the towers fell, meaning that the floors of the towers were vapourized into dust as a result of explosives. The incredible loss of life, was the green light the American Government needed to go to war. Later 'terrorist attacks' would pull other countries into conflict.

Went to university at night until my junior year at SUNY. After being allergic to research animals I switched to business.
As soon as the buildings were hit I knew who did it and why. It was an inside job since Bush and Madeline Albright had wanted us to go to war in Iraq. The whole day was like a planned event of no President or someone is power in our government not on the air only Dan Rather. Really fear mongering keeping us all in the dark. A long time between events and the 'plane' which hit the Pentagon was long without any response...the most protected building in the world? Get real. We should not be any where in the world trying to protect them and bring 'democracy' (poverty and death) when we can't protect our own country and citizens.
