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.

There must have occurred explosions inside the towers before and while collapsing, who caused tons of material to be blown horizontally (and up) away from the buildings. This cannot be caused by simply collapsing. Nor could that explain the gigantic metamorphosis of thousands of tons of material (including steel) into dust consisting of very small particles.I am still very hopeful, that a truly independent investigation of what happened on 9/11 2001 will finally take place and I hope I will live to see it. My hopes are for my children and my grandchildren, whose Mother is a citizen of the United States, though it may turn out to be very hard for the American people to face the truth of 9/11, like it was for German people after world war II.

While my current work is in data systems, I do have civil engineering BS & MS degrees from UW Madison including core STEMs, materials and structural analysis & design.
I also have some small structural design & build professional experience prior to grad school. Since graduate school, I’ve been mostly in information systems for transportation, hydrology, design visualization, aviation & supply chain.
I consider myself an aviation professional through my work with pilots, AMDB/FMS charting & navigation data & systems.
Having STEMs qualifications, I’ve understood for most of the last 25 years the observations we have of the 9/11 events defy physics and logic unless explosives and false flag conspiracy are introduced into the system.
There are so many manifestations but it comes down to the amount of energy demonstrated. It takes energy to remove the columns, it takes energy to pulverize and melt concrete, it takes energy to generate a pyroclastic cloud, and it takes energy for ground zero to reach 1,300 degrees 5 days after. Ground Zero was still melting boots in mid NY December after millions of gallons of water was pumped on it.
There is no reason for any heat after a gravity collapse which would actually smother any conventional fires. Only a thermite-like substance would create molten steel or continue to burn in an anaerobic environment under water for 2.5 months.

Worked a number of years in Highway Design, followed by several more years in Metals Engineering, providing quality assurance for structural steel used in NYS bridges, and analyzing and designing repairs for deteriorated and otherwise damaged metal bridges.
The speed at which the buildings fell implied that the central cores provided virtually no vertical resistance at any point during the collapses. When the live television commenter stated that there must have been tons of explosives on site to cause such a collapse, i found myself in agreement and assumed it would all come out during the investigation. Combined with the reports of molten metal, inexplicably high temperatures recorded even by satellite, rapid removal and destruction of the structural evidence, the finding of tiny fragments of human bone thrown laterally from the structures, the missing pentagon trillions on 9/10; I am very concerned about the kind of world we are leaving to the next generations. 9/11 and the ensuing cover up is a big part of that concern.

WTC-7 collapsed at free fall for 2.25 seconds, over 105 feet of its initial descent. We see the roofline go from stationary into absolute free fall. NIST agrees that WTC-7 collapsed at free fall on page 46 of the 'final report on the collapse of WTC-7' (not their rough draft). NIST acknowledges 105 feet of free fall for 2.25 seconds, but does not see a problem with this. I see a very big problem with this. Anyone that has something to hide about 9/11 is a suspect in my book. There ARE more terrorists still out there. We need to bring these people to justice! Lastly, on 9/10/2001, then secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced to the world that our Pentagon cannot account for 2.3 trillion dollars. The next day, 9/11/2001, nobody cared about his 2.3 trillion dollar announcement.

I was made aware that there was foul play in regard to the collapse of the buildings on 9/11. I viewed many of the you tube videos that claimed that high officials of my country were responsible for this devastation for their own personal gain in terms of money and power at the cost of the loss of many lives without any regard to the families. 2012 Scenario and In Light Radio confirmed this information I obtained. The world needs to know who was really responsible for this devastation as well as other violent acts of destruction against the American people. They need to see and hear the proof that was stated so well by Richard Gage and his crusade to awaken the American people...

I'm an artist interested in math and digital media. I got my bachelor's degree as an adult while raising my four children. After getting my degree and working for small companies that were struggling financially, I was unable to find a job in my field that fit my experience. I decided to become a substitute teacher. Substitute teaching works well for me as I am a migraine sufferer and I can refuse to work any day that I need to. In addition to subbing I do freelance graphic and we design and my own art projects.
When I saw the plane hit I was already questioning. The motion of the plane looked so controlled, so smooth. When the towers came down, I had grave doubts that a plane could cause such a global collapse so rapidly. When I saw Building 7 later that evening, I was sure something was wrong. I was quite alone in this view and surrounded by patriotic flag waving in my small community. But, I've always questioned the media, the actions and words of governments, and the actions and words of those who profit from any event. That was my default response and I've never doubted that it is the right one.

I feel strong about freedom, openness and fair sharing of the resources of the world. For me, the kind of honesty and freedom to ask questions and share opinions that I see in this movie is very important. By taking responsibility ourselves and by caring, we build a world different than the one based on the grabbing of power and resources by multinationals and their cronies, the governments. Everywhere there are decent and dedicated people, by your example you give them the courage to stand up, speak out and do what needs to be done! I am very touched by the courage of the people on the film speaking out about the facts about the 9/11 destruction as they see them. There is hope for us if we can be honest, courageous and caring. Thank you!!

It is obvious when you see the stories falling upon each other with absolutely no resistance, that something does not match. It is definitively the result of explosives causing the destruction of the three Towers. After viewing the evidence of this excellent and informative website, I must agree about an independent investigation to bring to light the whole truth about the collapse of the WTC.

Three buildings in New York came down by controlled demolition on 9 11 - 2001. End of Story. There must be a full investigation by competent investigators and scientists. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. The removal of the evidence was a crime on its own. It would seem to be a False Flag operation carried out by a state with its own political agenda. They need to be exposed and punished.

I have followed the 9/11 investigations after reading the official government report and finding it woefully inadequate and highly suspicious in much the same way as The Warren Report was an unacceptable whitewash.
After reading the Project for the New American Century's document which contains a reference to the need for a new Pearl Harbor event as well as understanding that our government had foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor, it is perfectly conceivable that 9/11 was our own generation's repetition of government duplicity/complicity. Larry Silverstein's PBS comments are both a smoking gun and damning evidence of a controlled demolition of WTC 7.

Nothing special. Just taught kids with learning disabilities whom were confined to a State facility because there was no other option for them. Their conduct was criminal in nature but were incompetent to stand trial for what they did.
It seems suspicious but nothing I could prove. Common sense does not dictate that this kind of an event could have occurred unless there were pre-preparations of materials in the building to cause it to collapse as it did. I do not believe two airplanes had the capacity to do the level of destruction they did. This is not to imply that any US government official had any ties or connections to aiding and abetting the event that occurred, but someone connected with the terrorist group certainly could have had opportunities.

As an educator, I have attempted to share what I can with the students I teach. These young, future Americans have a right to know that our freedom depends on truth and full disclosure, and that the world is not always what it seems.
I have long believed the truth was hidden regarding 9/11. The evidence has never seemed to add up. Although I am not an architect or in the engineering field, there are those of us who know on other levels. The lack of facts and evidence at the Pentagon; the debris field of the other crashed commercial flight showing no recognizable fuselage, luggage, bodies, etc., not to mention the free-falling WTC buildings-none of these incidences have ever felt right on a personal level either. The people that died that day deserve to have their lives honored and validated with the truth about what happened and WHY!

My name is Jonathan Hagopian, I was born on 9/15/1983 in Springfield, MA. I come from a family of educators and am a teacher myself. American history played a vital role in my up-bringing. My father is an extremely proud American and has his own personal library containing books from the founding of America to the present date, with an emphasis on the Civil War and US involvement in World War II. Hence, growing up my father felt it was imperative that I be educated about our country's history. I studied US History in College and on my own accord. In 2007 I graduated from Westfield State University with a Bachelors degree in Music Education. I have been teaching for the past 5 years and am currently enrolled in a Master's of Education program at the University of Massachusetts.
There are many aspects about the collapse of the Twin Towers, and WTC Building 7 that are extremely suspect. I will focus on a handful of the concerns that I have that lead me to believe that the American Public has not been told the truth about the buildings collapse. 1. The speed/rate all of the buildings crumbled to the ground. All 3 WTC buildings collapsed at free fall speed and crumbled to the ground (no part of the foundation/structure was left standing). The rate/speed at which the buildings collapsed is not consistent with the claim that they collapsed due to fire damage. While I am not an engineer, I have been told by countless engineers that the only way for a building to collapse at free fall speed is for the structure supporting the building to be completely removed, and this can only happen from controlled demolitions. 2. Witnesses who were on the scene claimed they heard explosions, many explosions, yet these witnesses were not consulted or interviewed when the 9/11 commission report was being created. The people who claim they heard explosions are extremely credible people like fire fighters, police officers, WTC janitors/staff, WTC building 7 employees etc... I don't understand why their testimony was not factored in the report and I believe it should be as it is valuable to understanding what happened that day. 3. The remains of all 3 WTC buildings were not tested or examined for explosive materials. Furthermore, the steel was removed and shipped away ASAP making an investigation about why the buildings collapsed almost impossible to determine. It doesn't make sense why the steel was removed so quickly. The United States just experienced a horrific attack and 3 buildings crumbled to dust in a matter of seconds. Wouldn't they want to conduct an in-depth and conclusive investigation as to why this happened? The people of NY and engineers protested the removal of the steel and for good reason yet it was still removed without being tested. It doesn't make sense; it would have been more beneficial for the steel to be tested/investigated than it was to remove it ASAP. There are many factors and pieces of information that make the collapse of the WTC buildings suspect. The three I mentioned above are the ones I find most compelling

Humble citizen wanting justice for the general public and to ensure the safety of us actually living with integrity.
The story that was told to us was in fact, a story and not the truth. The way building 7 fell doesn't make sense, it wasn't adjacent to the other 2 buildings. Those building that were adjacent to the WTC toweres were badly burned, but did not collapse. There are discrepancies and gaps in the information.

I am a retired educator from Massachusetts, having worked teaching students in grades K-6 for over 26 years. Currently I am doing some tutoring, training of teachers in social competency skills for classrooms, called Open Circle, and do some volunteer work as well as pursuing hobbies and interests. Being a mother and grandmother, I am concerned about the welfare of this country if we do not seek the truth, no matter where it leads. This is the only way a truly democratic society can continue to remain in existence. We owe it to the memories of those who have perished as well as for future generations.
Due to an overwhelming amount of evidence from over 1500 engineers and architects who believe that the method of collapse of the World Trade Center Twin Towers as well as World Trade Center 7, could only have occurred with the use of some type of explosives or incendiary devices, I would like to add my voice and name to thousands of other American citizens who are calling for an independent investigation without government intervention. We owe this to the over 3,000 people who lost their lives as well as their families and friends on 9/11.

I was watching on TV when the Pentagon was struck. The film of the surveillance camera at the nearby gas station disappeared after that one shot and was never shown again. There was only a hole in the wall, no plane debris, bodies, luggage or even sheared off wings. I recognized the implosion of the Twin Towers followed the same pattern as when I had watched a tall building implode earlier in Orlando.

This matter must be investigated. One has only to view the Trade Center Building 7 falling to know that questions have remained unanswered. I find it amazing how many will simply not look and believe what they see. I feel that the American people must open their eyes and see what that tragedy has led to and how daily our freedoms that our forefathers died to preserve are being systematically altered.
