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.

Building 7 cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The molten steel cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The immense cloud of dust at the TOPS of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by softened steel brought down by gravity. The vertical and horizontal ejects from the tops of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by gravitational force. The presence of thermate in the dust particles tells it all - the mainstream media does not - obviously. And how about the human remains outside ground zero?

There is no way that building 7 could have collapsed due the the light fire damage it sustained from the other buildings, the eye witness testimony also points to this fact. All building collapses defy the laws of physics - energy is needed to pulverize the concrete, thus if explosives were not used then you would expect to see the buildings as they fell. The buildings also collapsed through the path of greatest resistance.

I am an Electrical Engineer with a strong background in automation and have additional skills integrated into my personality such as construction of buildings, structural analysis, mechanical integration of mechanics and structures, and understanding of complex structures and mechanics and their behavior under normal or chaotic circumstances.
There has been never a nail or chisel existed in the world we live, which got pulverized because a hammer or slash hammer hit them into head. The chisels have been hit billions of times onto their head with slash hammers during the 18th century while our railroad system was build, where back then the steel was not that advanced as in the twin towers and they got hit and hit and hit and never got any of them pulverized. How come on 911 two steel structures, each sticking out like a huge chisel into the air get hammered once on the side and these 48 chisels shaped like two letters of H molten on two legs together and having a with of 6 inch, get to be pulverized onto their ground. That is not possible without explosives embedded into the sections of the huge chisels. In addition if you look at the videos, evidence captured on that day, you would be very soon aware that the buildings were not collapsing, rather they were exploding in all directions and pulverized extremely similar to material or matter that had been exposed to explosives. It is time for us to open an independent investigation into 911 and bring everything into day light; instead insisting that it was orchestrated by terrorist. If 911 is really orchestrated by terrorists than there shall be nothing to be scared of an independent investigation. Thank you.

From my experience, I am absolutely certain the WT7 could not have collapsed as it did without some form of explosive. With this in mind, the whole incident had to be staged. For this reason an independent investigation should be made. It could expose a significant amount of corruption we have in the world, which is leading to the demise of the world as we know it. The truth should be exposed and those who have done criminal acts should be brought to justice.

After reviewing numerous materials I have absolutely appalled that more people aren't asking questions and demanding answers! I can't believe that Rudy Guliani isn't being publicly questioned during his presidential run about the possibility that what happened on 9/11 was an inside job and that possibly he was aware of it. I used to be a person who believed that terrorists did this to our country and now I'm questioning who the terrorists really are. It is time to share the truth with our nation. It is time to demand truthful answers about what really happened! IT IS TIME!

I am not an architect or engineer, but I am a free-thinking individual with practical common sense, and enough of it to understand the basic science behind why the official story is rubbish. As a result of the media attention given to Islam, I was led to investigate the religion personally, and I converted. I think it's beautifully ironic that events created to make people fear something (Islam) would actually work to help them embrace it. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Dick Cheney!
I believe 9/11 was designed and manufactured by some of the best sleight of hand magicians alive today. I believe the psychological warfare that was used (and continues to be used today) was brilliant. I believe it is every free thinking and responsible individual's duty to do something about it. I'm absolutely outraged at the vast conspiracy that has been created and implemented by a group of people hell-bent on exerting an illegal amount of power not just in the U.S., but in the world. We Americans may be trusting, but we're not all idiots.

Worked as computer-engineer for many years. Now am tutoring inner-city children mathematic. I am amazed at the well documented material presented on your site and the total lack of support to investigate probable cause. If nothing else we need an investigation. I am sure the list of people would be much larger than shown here but for the extreme fear that the people in government will search each signers IRS files and Criminal files and do an extensive search to find something they can do to make life hell for them. Many would be signers perhaps work for government agencies or with companies that do work with the government and know or are intimidated by possible damage to their position such a signing could possible do to their ability to earn money for their family!
The buildings collapsing in 9 seconds and all three falling down upon themselves and their being no trace of remains for over 1000 of the victims all demand an explanation from the Government. These facts need an explanation. It is admirable and patriotic on your part to demand such an explanation. I support your efforts and purpose to gain an explanation for the American People. There has been no explanation coming from the Government on these issues. You are not pointing the finger but rather just asking for and explanation that can be understood and reasonable. By the government not giving a clear rational argument begs the obvious question! Was this an Inside Job ?

There is no way that the official story of fire resulting from the airplanes' collision explains any of the building collapses.....rather, they most likely happened by controlled demolition. Any further speculation should await a new investigation, though all of us have our suspicions.

Watching the videos on the day of 9/11 I was suspicious even then that those building could fall that fast as a result of an airplane impact since nothing like that had ever happened before. Suspicion further aroused a few days later when it was announced that the Bush administration was trying to stop an investigation (What were they trying to cover-up since this would be the first thing any non-compromised government would do in such a national tragedy?) A few years later reading of David Ray Griffin cinched it for me.

I'm baffled as to how two of the largest buildings in the world can fall onto themselves at free fall speed into their own foot prints. People I talk to have no problem with this. I ask, how can a building of that size fall at the same speed as a falling object which just has air to go through, it makes no sense!! Don't even get me started as to why WTC 7 fell, more baffling than WTC 1 and 2. Thank you for reading, thank you for doing this!!!

President Clinton, upon hearing a reference to questions indicating that 911 might have been an inside job, said,How dare you! How dare you!!!... We citizens must overcome the shame that comes from pointing out that, The emperor has no clothes, with respect to the collapse of the 3 Trade Center Buildings. This shame will befall us when we seek to disclose the truth behind the curtain. Our fear of the wizard is well-founded. Who can doubt the power of the state? However, when we see that the state is no more than mere mortals behind a curtain, manipulating the giant Wurlitzer, we will step up with courage and face the horror that has disgraced our country. If we truly believe that elections are bloodless revolutions, then our work is cut out for us to heal, restore honor, and promote peace--both inside and outside of our country. How dare a past President attempt to deny us a fresh look at the obvious. Will we dare look at the naked truth and do the right thing?

Teacher. Most recently of English as a second language. I meet people from many different countries that have come to the US with a dream. I am fascinated by the varied world views and beliefs that depend entirely on where we were born and into what social strata. Here in the US most of our beliefs are fed to us through the media. There needs to be a greater understanding of our underlying unity as humans. We are a vulnerable race on a fragile ecosystem.
Obviously a media controlled bullshit account from the beginning. Anyone with a thinking mind can recognize a lie and link it to the ones who profit from creating a reason to start a war with no end.

I have been actively trying to educate others about the glaring inconsistencies in the official 9/11 narrative for about 3 years. Prior to that time, I believed the 9/11 attacks to be blowback from America's brutal foreign policy. A&E for 9/11 Truth gives the Truth movement amazing credibility. An amazing initiative!
How much evidence do we need? The official story is an impossibility. You do not need advanced degrees to arrive at this conclusion.

There is far too much misleading information regarding this attack from the great possibility that our government knew this was impending coupled with repeated interviews of officials saying they had no idea this could happen, to the collapse of the buildings, the slow response of the NORAD fighters and finally this loosely flung together search for Bin Laden which has only resulted in major human casualty and loss of civilian rights. It is time to question the connections our government officials have outside the office (Carlyle, Haliburton) and turn over this investigation to a truly impartial, well funded and intelligent team of investigators.

I am a high school chemistry teacher with some, albeit limited, proficiency in physics. Most of my education was devoted to chemistry.
I simply want the truth. I reacted like most of the American public did, with outrage and a burning desire for vengeance. It wasn't until several years later that I stumbled upon Loose Change, and began to doubt the official story. Research led me to watch a lecture that Dr. Jones gave on the matter, and I realized that there is no physical way those buildings came down at free fall speed because of fires. The chemistry doesn't make sense, nor does the physics.

I've had a broad education, and have been professionally employed in science, medicine, and the humanities.
All technical details aside, anyone four years old or older knows, senses, understands that when a structure is asymmetrically damaged, it does not collapse over its footprint. Anyone who has witnessed the explosion of the Towers, and the collapse of Building Seven, MUST know that the official story is wrong. The further technical details elicited by A&E, and others, go far toward other, more reasonable hypotheses. The 'I'm not going there', with hands raised, palm outward gesture, indicates that a 'there' is sensed, and indicates a sub-knowledge widely shared (and dreaded).

It only took me about 3 days to realize that everything that I believed about 9/11 (almost 7 years) is completely false. Common sense is all that is needed in order to understand that 110 story buildings don't fall in 10-12 seconds.

Former high school English teacher; retired insurance auto claims adjuster.
There are too many unanswered questions, too many official facts that defy the laws of physics, too many efforts to evade minimal open investigations, too many efforts to suppress or exclude testimony from numerous witnesses with accounts that conflict with the official version. As a former insurance auto claims adjuster, I know something about the rudimentary principles and practices involved in investigations, forensics, collection and proper handling of evidence, gathering of testimony, some basic laws of physics, all of which seem to be absent in the handling of the 9/11 Twin Towers and Building 7 collapse. An official account was given to the public; an investigation was never conducted. The account lacks validity until we have a full and open investigation. Since the events of 9/11, national security has become the operative theme directing almost every aspect of our lives. Yet national security does not dictate a thorough investigation of the very incident that has so dramatically altered the nature of our society. There seems to be an inherent contradiction in this that undermines the whole principle of national security. I want some answers. And I want them to be based on reality. That reality has not been achieved by an official account that has holes in it big enough to fly a plane through.

Everytime I watch WTC7 collapse, it becomes a little more obvious that this was a controlled demolition.

Have been building structures since I was 9 years old, and now just finished renovating my house extensively (I am 60 now). My PhD research was in biomechanics, and since then I have built several high-speed laminar hydro-flumes. I have also rebuilt several boats, taken jewelry classes and welding, so am familiar with materials and their properties.
By chance, I was talking to my sister-in-law on the phone and watching CNN news as the towers collapsed. Her husband had just walked through the Trade Centre underground to the American Express building. He watched the second plane fly into the second tower and also mentioned the explosion like a bomb going off. His building was shaken (later demolished), and I could never figure out why the explosion, free-fall, and dust.

I am a teacher in special education as well as a university student. I am open-minded and always question everything. I never believe the reality consensus. I look at all sides of an argument and come to my own conclusion. I was forced to eat what the government/media fed me but was able to find the other side through a course, music, and finally through my own research.
The collapse of WTC 7 was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report. Why did the WTC buildings fall at nearly free-fall speed? Why was Larry Silverstein never a suspect? There are so many questions that were left out, unanswered, or completely ignored in the official report that need to be addressed by a body independent of the government.

I am a High School Teacher with no other agenda than that of a citizen seeking the truth about an incident that changed the country I live in.
If this is true, then we have a real problem. However, if this is true and we do not uncover it... we have an even bigger problem.

My name is Robert Leo Underbrink, I was born in 1941 during WWII. I had wonderful parents and a brother and two sisters. At the age of 12, I had polio which affected me from the lower chest upward. I cannot lift my left arm as to this day. This handicap did not keep me from working, going to college and getting several degrees. I have been married for 44 years to my wonderful wife. We have three children and four grand children. At the age of 62, I had a heart bypass operation that went bad when I had a staff infection that almost killed me. After a 5 month stay in the hospital with almost 3 month in ICU, I left for home only to find out that I could do almost nothing. I am able to do some work now but my doctor has classified me as disabled. This disability caused me to retire from teaching at the age of 63 after 35 years of teaching in High School and Colleges. I now have a room in the back of my house which I call the computer shop. I spend a lot of my time on the Internet. I also build, fix and upgrade computers.
I have been solving and proving problems for over 40 years. Proving problems involves getting information, making a theory and then seeing if the information fits the theory. If it does not, then make another theory that best fit the information available then test again. The information I have spent many hours studying are: The live videos on BBS that says building number 7 collapsed 20 minutes before it did collapse. You could see the building in the background behind the ladies head while she was saying this. The recorded fact that the building fell at gravity speed made it impossible to be a pancake collapse as was indicated. The fact that all the concrete was blown into powder and the steel beams were nicely cut into about 30 foot sections indicate a controlled demolition. The explosions that occurred ahead and below of the building while it was collapsing. The fact that no steel building has ever fell due to a fire. Some burned for over 20 hours. The fact that steel cannot melt at the maximum heat put out by diesel fuel. The fact that the temperature of the base of the collapse was over 1000̊F for several weeks after the collapse. The reporting that day by reporters and witnesses which told a story very different from what was told in the media in days after 9/11. The statement made by Silverstein that they pulled building number 7. The documented information available says loud and clear that 911 was an inside job, the buildings were taken down by explosives planted in the building prior to 9/11 and ones in our government had to have been involved in the 9/11 terrorist attack.

WTC 7 NIST fire theory is based on photographs that have never been released. No FEMA pictures show massive structural damage as claimed. Fires were small and isolated. FEMA pictures demonstrate this. All support columns failed simultaneously. The building fell in 6.5 seconds, completely and symmetrically. This was a controlled demolition.
