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.

Watching the Towers collapse on 9/11 was a total horror.... but even at that moment, you know, it just did not look right. A comprehensive investigation was never part of the agenda. It was always just assumed what transpired. There is substantial evidence that the time for a full investigation is now.

I completed my mechanical engineering degree in summer of 09. I am currently job searching. I have little engineering experience outside of school and I am excited to start building energy and transportation systems, inexpensive and efficient housing, and agricultural machines. I have a minor in physics and I had excellent professors in statics, mechanics of materials, and material science.
Where do you start? If a plane hit the pentagon, why wont they release a video which shows this. There certainly should have been more plane parts in shanksville and the pentagon. Even if the fire was hot enough to melt the metal of the plane, where are the tons of molten metal? Building 7 is obvious demolition. The biggest inconsistency with building 7 and the towers is that stress would have been concentrated where the planes hit or where the fires were buring, however fracture does not occur at this stress concentration but rather at the base of the structures.

My opinion regarding the collapse of the twin towers leads me to believe that there were other types of explosives placed within the building superstructures and to be timed to be set off and detonated when the aircraft's smashed into the respective towers. I do not believe that the buildings would have totally collapsed just from the impact of the aircraft. The impact and force would have had to been much greater.

A fire always generates asymmetrical forces, and thus a torsion of the structures during the collapse. When I discovered the images WITHOUT the comment, I instinctively thought of a controlled demolition: same sequence of destruction from the inside, so as to not scatter the debris outside the parameters of the demolition zone.

I am a former English and Art History professor (non-tenured) who taught at various NY Metro area universities and colleges, including Seton Hall and Rutgers Universities, as well as Dominican, St. Thomas Aquinas and Ramapo Colleges from 1987 until 2004. I also worked for Dow Jones in their South Brunswick facility for 18 months during the mid-90s (our small reprint department was an offshoot of the news desk that produces the ticker content in Times Square, so I know a bit about breaking news). I retain vivid memories of watching multiple coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing, as my ticker colleagues hustled to produce the copy.
I lived in Rockland County, NY, home to many NYC first-responders, at the time of the attacks. That morning, the planes hit the WTC during my 8 am Art History class at Dominican College. Our school soon went into lockdown, so I went home to watch the coverage. From the beginning, I felt skeptical about so many things, including how few people were in the buildings, compared to a normal day. I also found it strange they never mentioned all the vendors in the lower levels or even on the street. The first Tower had collapsed before our school suspended classes, and I remember how we all found it unbelievable how quickly so much of that enormous building could just disintegrate. As the sister of a volunteer firefighter/EMT in another state, I found it incredible in all the drills, they had never warned people there would be no attempts at rooftop rescues. (Some of my students spoke on their cell phones to relatives climbing to the roof, only to find the doors locked; we had no idea at the time what that meant). Later, when Mayor Giuliani allowed so much of the Fresh Kills evidence/debris to be destroyed, I felt my suspicions confirmed; the mayor had made his reputation as a no-nonsense US attorney. Why would he allow precious evidence, let alone possible human remains, to be lost? I also found the locating of some of the alleged perpetrators' passports to be utter nonsense; how could those piles of dust and debris render those items, while so many others never surfaced? I knew plenty of people who volunteered near the Ground Zero in those early weeks, and not one of them believes the passports were not planted. The evidence about explosives vs. fire temperatures, heat, remnants, etc. provided on your site has completely solidified my belief 9/11 was an inside job; it really is hard to deny the laws of physics. I also found Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 entirely convincing; why were the attackers' names absent from the passenger manifests, etc.? Having experienced the personal devastation of this probable black op for so many of my friends who lost relatives and friends, I remain horrified by the failure of the government and the 9/11 Commission to get to the bottom of this atrocity. After 12 years, I still shudder and weep whenever I see the Towers in old footage, watch the growing number of documentaries or view any of the anniversary ceremonies.

What makes me doubt the official history about 9/11 is the possibility that 19 foreigners have been able to prepare themselves for one such big plan, on American soil, particularly to be trained to pilot big jet panes, without being noticed by the C.I.A. in due time. My conclusion is that the C.I.A. at least let it be.

There is no way Building 7 could have collapsed that way, unless it was a controlled demolition. And once this is clear, it becomes also clear that the same thing happened to the Twin Towers....Who put the explosive? The story we have been told is full of inconsistencies, we need a new thorough investigation about the 9/11 events.

There is an enormous amount of proof that WTC 1 and WTC 2 were demolished. When Mr. Silvertsein admitted on TV that they 'pulled' WTC 7 that tells you everything you need to know. The whole thing was a false flag operation to allow us to attack Iraq and Afghanistan. The military-industrial complex had triumphed once again and made a fortune profiting from the death and destruction of useless wars.

This false flag demolition of three sky scrapers set off a wave of terror and terrorism around the world which we all feel today. It has resulted in perpetual wars around the world, the loss of innocent lives, the destruction of civilizations, the destruction of countries let alone vital wildlife habitats. Accountability for this worldwide disaster must be sought and exposed even though so much evidence for the 911 events was illegally destroyed.

The evidence presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and related written and video materials convinces me that all three WTC buildings were destroyed by explosives planted in the buildings. A full independent investigation is required to ascertain the evidence and determine what organizations and/or individuals were responsible for these controlled demolitions and if possible prepare a draft inditement of the guilty parties.

My career follows my interest in developing an operational definition of human quality of life, which in the space of a one-liner is 'Quality of Life is People Striving to Thrive'. The majority of my efforts have been to understand the continuum of aging as it relates to an honest understanding of evolutionary influences on genetically pre-disposed behavior.
Clearly, all evidence available points to a carefully planned deception of the Global public which has benefited the interests of a small group of psychopaths with an agenda to destroy the accomplishments of 5 million years of productive human evolution and progress. My greatest fear is that the public at large is as insouciant, as it is indifferent to their fate.

I used to think that such a public event such as 9/11 would have already been the object of such scrutiny that a reasonable and objective explanation of that day's events must already exist. After watching this video, I have to conclude that I was wrong. The government owes the American public a full accounting of what happened that day.

Too many questions have gone unanswered in the 9-11 tragedy. For example, it is quite clear that in looking at videos of the WTC-7 building collapse there are many gaps in the various official inquiries, such as the obviously controlled collapse, the fact there there were only a few fires burning in the building, firefighter shouting before 'stand back, they are bringing it down', and a TV announcer (I think BBC) saying the building had collapsed before it actually had (one can see it plainly in the background while she made this announcement). Since 2001, the world has become radically more unsafe, the US has increased it military presence to unprecedented levels, and, perhaps most distressingly, a Surveillance State has emerged on US soil, one far surpasses the capabilities of those existing in Stalinst USSR and Nazi Germany. If a request for an inquiry is rebuffed with the question, 'Why?', my response would be 'Why not?' What is to be lost with an independent citizen's inquiry? Is that not what democracy is all about? What would be wrong with honesty and openness? As a philosopher of science, I support Popper's concept of an open society, and the US Government's refusal to have an open inquiry flies in the face of that. Investigate now!

The official narrative is not believable. I'd like to add, just an opinion, that restriction to material/engineering issues is no longer effective. Discussion on the context (i.e. on the origin, motives, resources of confirmed and suspected actors around, in time and space, of the crime area) should be also added to any analysis and/or report coming from your organizations.

My statement appears on PATRIOTS QUESTION 911 and another website. Briefly, WTC2's upper section was seen to tilt, then DROP, then pulverize into super-fine dust. That the upper section dropped before pulverizing shows the massive support columns below had been rendered incapable of bearing weight. That and the pulverization itself prove explosives many times 'gravitational potential' energy have to have been in play.

The official explanation of the skyscraper destruction is obviously flawed, and realization of this reveals that carefully planned placement of explosives led to the destruction.

I was in Manhattan when the planes hit the towers. I was directly affected by the fear, terror, sense of insecurity that resulted from those events. Having studied history I know that throughout the history of the Western world (and beyond) wars have been brought about by the powerful to pursue their interests and accumulate profit. Because the US is the most powerful empire the world has ever known, the dynamics described above are very much relevant to our history. Knowing all of this, when I heard of the 9/11 catastrophe I strongly suspected that the US government was involved in either allowing it to happen or actively bringing it about.The USS Maine, Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Tonkin episode... our history is littered with false flag operations orchestrated to bring about wars against the prevalent peaceful sentiments of the American public. September 11th is one more of these episodes. Considering the dire consequences brought about in this country and around the world it is not an exaggeration to think of the events of 9/11 as a veritable coup d'etat against our democratic institutions.This is why I am very interested in supporting the efforts you are making to bring about truth and justice. It is only by facing the truth, as painful as it might be, that we can hope to bring about democracy and social justice to our country and to the world.

The evidence of controlled demolition is too compelling to be ignored, but I must admit that I originally refused to believe my brother when he first brought up this evidence. I think that was probably because it went against my prejudice that only religious fanatics (the official story) could be evil enough to perpetrate such a crime.

"It has been obvious to me since the day it happened (I watched it on TV), that all three buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Everything that followed (short selling on Wall St, Nano-thermite in the dust, The anthrax scare, the ""War on Terror,"" the lack of an FBI forensic investigation, etc. etc.) was covered up.by the Bush administration. Anyone who denies this evidence is either stupid or totally gullible. And by this, I mean the so-called academics, who should be ashamed of themselves. It is truly disgusting!"

I finished university of organization and informatics in Croatia, worked one year as a high school teacher, now I'm working as a university assistant on the same faculty that I finished. I'm working on my Ph. D. at the moment. I published several scientific papers in the field of computer science.
I spent many hours investigating evidence about the 9-11 event and I must admit that the official story has gaps in their explanation of what happened. I think that this matter needs serious objective scientific research, so we all can know what really happened and who is behind the 9-11 attack.

The work of Niels Harrit and others who found explosives in the World Trade Center dust, establishes it as a plain fact that the WTC towers were blown up. There is no longer any room for opinion or doubt on this matter. An investigation as to who did this is long overdue.
