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.

For our representatives to deliberately ignore or discredit the overwhelming evidence of a planned demolition of the WTC buildings is a travesty of justice and treasonous to not only the American people, but the entire world. For the media, government, or society itself to ridicule or penalize people who stand behind the righteous cause of seeking truth in what happened during this cataclysmic event, is representative of just how deeply the propaganda machine has entrenched itself into our collective consciousness. 9/11 is not just about the loss of 3,000 Americans. It was the event that led us and the world to a never ending series of wars in which untold millions of innocent lives were lost. It was the event that transformed the military/security/information industrial complex into the unstoppable all-encompassing monster that it is today. It is ultimately what enabled governments to steadfastly strip their citizens of their fundamental rights as citizens of a 'free' nation. Therefore, it is imperative that this event is investigated more thoroughly and independently than any other event in our modern history, and hopefully, the truth is uncovered for all to see so that guilty parties can hopefully be identified and brought to justice, regardless of whom they may be.

Graduated from Berkeley in 1962 - the beginning of the radical years. HUAC hearings in San Francisco, blatant government lies about Vietnam, CIA involvement in Central and South America, all these things make me very suspicious. The truth needs to be exposed. I'm perfectly happy to accept that no conspiracy happened on 9/11 if it can be demonstrated, but we must know the facts.
This has always seemed strange to me, along with the Pentagon attack where no photographs actually show penetration by an airplane. Whether there was a conspiracy or not, when the government hides facts and information there must be more investigation.

Basically a geologist - doing research - naturally dont believe in things like this which look colorful in CNN and BBC.
I looked at the seismograms available in internet soon after 9/11. Clearly there was a peak before the buildings collapsed - i have seen similar peaks during man-made explosions used to check the reliability of seismograms.... Then the video In plane site was great eye opener. To be frank i think George Bush for clarifying many of the doubts in my mind for a long time - how did the world end up like this with superpowers and superpoors - naturally an economy depended on wars naturally need an excuse for wars.... I hope some day they realize how many people they have directly and indirectly killed because of their neocon policies... I don't believe in the above statement as they strongly believe in what they do - otherwise how can incidents like Pearl Harbor, September 11 attacks just happen... May be am deviating from your aim - pure engineering view point on WTC collapses - cant control the emotions - i feel for the innumerous people that are killed - how much rich do they want themselves to be... By the way - you wont believe in me - but i strongly believe in the December 26 Asian tsunami to be also part of neocon agenda. May be a bit too much for u people to believe - i do believe in natural earthquakes - but there are a lot of artificial earthquakes too - there are geologists in US who still don't know what really caused that earthquake - but they play with the media of advocating plate tectonics.... I was at Australia and clearly remember that the first seismic data that we received was much lower - just 6.4 then within days USGS just raised it to 9.1 or something to account for the huge death toll. people don't realize it was not the earthquake that killed - it was the tsunami. I was at Banda Aceh after the tsunami (2 weeks later) as part of Japanese team. We saw no signs on earthquake related damage. Buildings were standing with second floor, but in between were removed by running water.... Am going off point - hope u people can bring some change... The truth is there - it is pretty heart breaking to see people just ignoring facts in favor of colorful main stream media propaganda

Controlled demolition is the most logical explanation for the collapse of the WTC. If a fire could cause such devastation, no one would be allowed to live and work in high rises. The risk would be too high. If the official story was true, the government would be looking to blame (prosecute) the designers, architects, engineers of WTC for ineptitude.

The advent of 9/11 and the tragedy surrounding the events are the singular greatest lie and fraud ever perpetuated. I recall working as a broker in the WTC in the mid 90's after the '93 bombing. The fact was already established after the bombing investigation that the buildings were originally built and inundated with asbestos protective coating, recognized as dangerous hazardous material even then. All the beam structures were coated in this covering and removal would have taken many years and billions($) in losses due to the closed buildings. The WTC towers and adjoining buildings were essentially condemned for the hazardous asbestos content, now killing the first responders (although squelched by the media). When I watched the buildings fall on 9/11, no mention was made of the dynamic stabilization dampers originally built as an afterthought on the upper levels of the building, consisting of concrete and steel and weighing 400,000lbs each. The force of these huge weights was essential to the planned and carefully controlled 'footprint' demolition. The 9/11 wives were paid for their silence and contractually obligated to never ask questions. Beverly Eckert, leader of the 9/11 wives group, publicly questioned the official report for its lies and inaccuracies, never took the pay-off. Eckert sued the government and consistently lobbied for a legitimate investigative commission. She died suspiciously in a very suspect plane crash, immediately after personally meeting with Obama and cabinet members and disclosing her plans to take her concerns and inside knowledge of the fraud to the public and the media.

It seems pretty obvious to me as a registered architect that the collapse of the three WTC buildings were too controlled to be anything other than a controlled demolition. The evidence seems overwhelming that this is the truth. We need to know who did this and how. How could this have been implemented without causing suspicion?

I do believe that there is a great amount of fallacies in the official report from the 9/11 commission and of the US government. It is my belief that there is substantial evidence for proving that the Towers and Bldg 7 did not collapse solely due to the airplanes and/or debris. The sheer fact that there is hard, documented evidence of thermitic spheres and partially reacted thermite in the dust from around the city is proof enough to bring about an official, third party, investigation into the events of 9/11.

On first seeing the collapse videos, it was immediately clear that this was a demolition. The exterior walls of the towers were heavily structured. Small windows was a major criticism of the building. More free interior space was the result. Since the exterior walls were exceptionally strong, the likelihood that they could TOTALLY collapse is a complete improbability. Similarly, one tower sustained symmetric damage[opposing sides] while the other tower sustained damage on adjacent sides. Two radically different conditions that resulted in identical failures. Completely illogical.

It is the architects responsibility to ensure the Health, Safety and Welfare of humans when related to buildings design and cosntruction. In order to forsee potential threats caused by buildings to humans we need to have a clear and deep understanding of precedents to evaluate them and make sure we dont fall into the same errors again. A lot of misinformation surrounds the WTC7 investigation, it is time our voices are heard and a definite explanation is exposed.

As I watched the Twin Towers fall to the ground on live television, September 11, 2001, I knew in my heart of hearts that the narrative that would unfold would be filled with lies and obfuscation. I knew that governments and media outlets could not be trusted to tell the truth about the events of that day. I knew that the citizens of the world would soon be subjected to tyrannical suspicion. Now, looking back, was I wrong in thinking that as I watched the towers fall? For me, the WTC Building 7 event blended in with the rest of the days events on 9/11. At first, it was a footnote. But, now after all that I have seen and heard from countless credible sources, particularly the voluminous evidence presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, I am convinced that WTC 7 did not fall due to 'Office fires'. Anyone with critical thinking skills and an internet connection can clearly see that the world has been lied to with explanations from major media outlets and government officials. Read ae911truth.org. Read/listen to Christopher Bollyn. Read/listen to James Fetzer. Read/listen to James Perloff. Do these people have all the answers? No, but they certainly present a host of unassailable evidence that should lead any critical thinker to ask more questions and seek the unabridged truth about 9/11 as opposed to the lies of the contemporary 9/11 narrative.
