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.

Although educated in Arkansas, I learned some critical thinking skills by watching and listening to alternative news sources, especially after 9/11. I knew for certain that the official story of 9/11 was BS after hearing David Ray Griffin on C-SPAN, then reading his first book about it.. My chemical engineer husband, who is one of your members, confirmed Mr. Griffin's statements after he also watched the C-SPAN presentation.
The collapse of the Towers always gave me an uneasy feeling that there was something very suspicious about it, but most people seemed to accept that it was not that unusual after buildings had been hit by planes. When I heard Mr. Griffin on C-SPAN, I knew instantly that he was right about the collapses--it was the first time I had heard anything that made sense about that day.

Occupation: Student Of Life
I am a journalist. I graduated from Auckland University in 1985 with a Master of Science (Hons) in neuropsychology/clinical neuropsychology and zoology. I initially learnt that the official story of 9/11 was a fraud from watching the documentaries: '9/11: The Road To Tyranny,' by Alex Jones and 'Confronting The Evidence.' In order to compensate for the lack of real information in the mainstream media about 9/11, I have written about the events and people related to 9/11 for publication and have contributed to Internet forums regularly, supplying information which strengthens the case to show that the official story is a hoax. I currently post 9/11-related information on my website also: Web of Evidence: What They Don't Want You To Know.
There was substantial evidence to show that thermite was used to bring down the Towers, not only as they were collapsing, but afterwords also. For example, shortly before the South Tower collapsed, molten metal was seen pouring out of the building near the 81st floor. Plus, in the aftermath of the collapses there were signs of an explosive material having been used, as explosions were occurring in the rubble, and there were fires that could not be put out with water. The nano-thermite that was located and estimated to comprise about 0.1% of the weight of the WTC dust by Neils Harrit et al, has helped to close the net on the real suspects. One thing is for certain, this composite was far too advanced a material to have emanated from the bowels of a cave.

Mr. Brookman is a licensed structural engineer in the state of California. He obtained B.S. Civil Engineering (1984) and M.S. Structural Engineering (1986) degrees from the University of California at Davis, and has over 21 years experience in structural analysis, design, evaluation and rehabilitation of buildings in northern California.
One of our primary responsibilities as architects and engineers is to ensure public safety in and around our structures, and we take this seriously. It is also our responsibility as concerned American citizens to ask questions and seek honest answers. I encourage everyone to read the numerous books, technical reports and papers about the WTC; look closely at the photographs and videos; listen to the speakers with an open mind. Decide for yourself, and take a stand for what you believe. As a structural engineer I believe in the laws of physics and rely on them every day. - - - - After much reading and studying it is obvious that NIST, FEMA and the 9/11 Commission have all fallen short of a detailed accounting of the catastrophic collapses of the three World Trade Center buildings in Manhattan on 9/11/01. A few examples of unexplained details include the severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel as described in Appendix C of the FEMA Building Performance Study, the complete symmetrical collapses following asymmetric structural damage and short-term fires, and the chemical signature of incendiary compounds found in the toxic WTC dust. - - - - I would really like to know why complete collapse of the twin towers became inevitable as expressed by NIST without any scientific analysis to substantiate it. Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing most of the contents into dust and ash - twice? Why would WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified - and necessary - for all three collapses.

I witnessed the first tower fall and thought the symmetric collapse very unusual but thought with an exact combination of circumstances, it could happen, but the chances were the same as winning a lottery. When the second tower collapsed, I became very skeptical and remain so. The third building collapsing erases any possibility of this attack being conducted without on-the-ground support. I believe the air attack was known prior to the attack and used as a diversion to demolish the buildings for some yet unknown reason.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
