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.

The building collapse seems a result of other explosions that was places at the lowest part of the buildings, and at some other locations located on the main bearing points of the structures. no lateral forces applied at the upper level of such huge structures would cause the sudden collapse of the entire structures.

It is my continuing belief that the events of 9/11/01 were a carefully planned and executed operation by parties other than those officially designated as responsible. The claim that the destruction of the Twin Towers and Bldg 7 was caused by the crash of two jetliners, as directed by a small handful of zealots is, and has always been ludicrous. That the American public --and the world -- have been sold this obvious fabrication at the very least speaks of supreme arrogance. We are not (all) gullible, blind, --or stupid. Thank you for your continued efforts to bring the truth to light.

The events of that day were surreal. Now many years later the evidence supporting controlled demolition as the cause for the collapse of Building 7 is irrefutable. Other testimonies add up to support a gut feeling I've had all along. That there were other factors in play. It is time for a true investigation.

When i first saw the film/television coverage i was shocked that the structures did not topple over sideways bending at the points of jetliner impact. This is counter-intuitive or antithetical that they would uniformly collapse with asymmetrical impacts. Building 7 collapse in this manner is complete nonsense because it did not have anything close to the magnitude of damage of aircraft impacts.

The NIST Report on the World Trade Center Disaster ignored crucial evidence, used faulty science, and was totally worthless. There was no real investigation of the cause of the collapse of three skyscrapers that should not have come down. Truth is owed to the victims and families as well as the rest of the world.

I was born in the northeast, us. I currently reside in Florida. I am 34 years old. I did very well in school in all subjects especially math and science. I attended college for a short time. I was accepted to the engineering school, Colorado school of mines. I mostly spend time telling the truth about anything to anyone who wants to listen.
My first reaction, what my eyes saw, was that of a controlled demolition. Knowing the history of this country and the power of the almighty dollar I know that nothing is impossible. With all of the evidence out there I am more sure now than ever that the official explanation given was false, purposely false.

I am a library assistant at a public library. I am a well educated person who helps others find information and reading material that they are interested in. I am very tech savy, I help others in using technology that they have or that the library provides. I have researched the 9/11 discrepancies in depth.
The NIST insistence that fire caused the destruction and collapse of WTC7 is a lie and the people that keep insisting on this theory should be brought to justice. The building collapsing at free fall speed goes against this theory. There was no huge fire engulfing this building. Even the fires at both World Trade centers weren't enough to bring down those buildings. While I don't hold with the controlled demolition theory, I do believe other scenarios should have been included or considered in their report. This report was not researched with physical evidence but with 'simulations'. This was not a proper way to hold an' investigation. The steel, what little of it was recovered, shows properties not consistent with the fire that took place in that building that day. I am not a conspiracy theorist, the real conspiracy continues to be the government's reaction and explanation for what transpired on 9/11/2001. I am tired of the lie. The truth should be told.

After having a break, where my nerves got back to normal again, I started to wonder how such big buildings could collapse in seconds? And building 7 that was not hit at all collapsed too. And nanothermite is found in rubble... something is wrong - something is TERRIBLE wrong ... and this wrong had affected the whole world since... the world must wake up and take some action on it

I don't have much technical experience but I have some common sense. I have watched many videos on youtube before I heard of ae911truth.org and it never made sense to me that 3 damaged buildings could fall so neatly.
Three damaged buildings cannot fall so neatly. Are all buildings built with explosives pre-set in case they need to be demolished? Very time consuming to place so many explosives. Why has no one come out who had knowledge that the buildings were demolished? Seems it would have taken quite a conspiracy. What does it look like when buildings fall by some other disaster and not controlled demolition?

I've been working for the County of Alameda Public Works Agency for 20 years, the last ten years in the Land Survey Department. I work in the field using GPS equipment, and conventional equipment. I do database work in this section, and use ArcView Mapping to create work maps for other groups here at PWA.
For some reason, maybe the Kennedy assassinations, I knew on the 'day of' 9/11 that this was an inside job. And ever since, I have been validated by the continuing information I get from 9/11 Truthers, and I am lucky to have this important group right here in the Bay Area. I go to many of the 9/11 informational gatherings at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland. Also, that Building 7 was never talked about by the 'official' talking heads.

I am a college graduate, a working class US citizen who has SERIOUS doubts as to the story we've been told as to the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers.
After watching the A&E for 911 Truth video, and gathering information from various other 911 outlets, I am convinced the buildings were blown up with explosives. I believe the truth behind 911 will one day be revealed, but that will not be in the near future. It is such a politically suicidal issue to touch, no politicians will have the courage to address the real issues/questions.

The compelling evidence gathered by AE911Trust must be thoroughly reviewed by experts without a conflict of interest. If the evidence proves demolition and explosions caused the collapse, our country and government will suffer but survive. If the government tries to cover this up and citizens find out, regardless of the reason, I fear for our country.

I worked for the Port Authority of NY&NJ 1983-1987 at Kennedy International Airport, the Holland Tunnel, P.A. Jersey City Technical Center, Two World Trade Center, as a mechanic in the Automotive Division. My duties were the maintenance and repair of over 2,000 vehicles and special equipment used to operate the above facilities; from an airport emergency firetruck, the Executive Director's car, or a snow blower etc. I then worked in the Purchases and Supply Services division as an Automotive Parts Technician at One World Trade Center, JFK, Newark, and La Guardia airports, Jersey City Tech Center, and Port Elizabeth. My duties were to purchase replacement parts for the aforementioned vehicles and equipment.
Since the Port Authority of NY&NJ built the original complex, they didn't have to comply with City of New York codes. Since Larry Silverstein's building 7 housed the NYC Office of Emergency Management, they made up their own codes. If there were explosives or incendiaries there, they wouldn't have to reveal it. An independent and non-political investigation is in order, to see if the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report stand up to any new evidence.

I have retired from State Service where I was the Chief Engineer over all State steam, water and waste water plants. I also was in charge of capital projects and energy conservation. I have been employed in the electrical utility industry in power generation. I am also a licensed electrician and hold an unlimited horsepower stationary engineer license.
I noticed the way the Buildings fell and have thought a lot about it since then. Up until now, I didn't realize that there were many others thinking the same way. I have an interest in controlled demolition and have watched several buildings come down both in person and on film. I think this is very worth while to investigate.

WTC7 falling at an observed freefall acceleration for 2.25 seconds over 100 ft (8 floors) confirms the use of precisely placed explosives designed to bring the building down into its own footprint. The work required to achieve this controlled demolition could not have been planned and executed in one day. This was a pre-planned event beyond the capabilities of Al Qaeda. this and many other 'anomalies' in the 9/11 timeline point to a choreographed event that has led to the wholesale loss of life, both in Manhattan on the day and in the ensuing phoney Wars On Terror.
