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.

I am a professional design engineer have practiced for 5 years designing mechanical components within a product development team consisting of mechanical, biomedical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers.
As an engineer, the evidence presented here seems to be overwhelming and definitely warrants further investigation and answers. As there is such an abundance of evidence to the contrary then I don't see any reason to not re-investigate 911 and get to the truth. Even if the official theory is correct, then a real and independent investigation will find that out anyways so there is nothing to worry about. If AE911truth are wrong, then they are wrong and we put it to rest, however if they are right, then the implications of this are huge. Good luck - I admire your courage, and fully support your call for a new, independent investigation into the destruction of the three skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

These projects are located in Indonesia and overseas such as, Philipines, Australia and Dubai-United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. My experiences also including design checking and reviewing for damaged structure, value engineering, as a post earthquake structural assessor and some experiences in inspections including anti terror barrier wall execution work and visual investigation for Very Important Buildings such as embassies in Indonesia including Australian, American, New Zealand, Dutch and Japan Embassy.
After I have see all the evidence provided either by this organization or other source I don't believe at all the main causes of the twin tower is because of fire. About building 7? it is just a joke to say it is collapse because of debris from the twin tower

After watching several documentaries on 9/11 attacks, including the A/E for 9/11 Truth, there is no way I can go against all the evidence compiled which proves the initial story and report are not conclusive with all the evidence found. A lot of the evidence that goes against the initial report was not shown on the mainstream media so I was persuaded to accept the initial story and report. As a citizen I demand another investigation into what caused the Twin Tower buildings to collapse, and also WTC 7. The investigation needs to be done by an independent firm with no tie or influence from our government.

I currently maintain several blogs about world news, politics, and alternative news stories. I am well versed in using citations and conducting research. I can cross reference sources, and I know how to check them for accuracy and credibility. I have excellent grammar and format, and a drive to meet necessary deadlines. I can write cover letters, query letters, and know how to communicate with publishers. I can also write HTML, and implement ads. I have a Google Adsense account, and I know how to use tools to drive traffic to websites. I can also use analytical software to track where traffic is coming from, and use that information to drive more traffic.
I believe that the tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001 was a planned destruction. Some sources claim that there was unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic red/gray chips in the dust recovered from the collapses. Four samples were collected 1 at ten minutes, 2 the next day, and 1 about a week later after the collapse. All four samples indicate that thermite could have been used. It is a fact that the steel and iron were still liquid 6 weeks after the collapse, which also could indicate the use of thermite. The type of aircraft that hit the towers were said to have no windows and you can clearly see tanks on the bottom of the aircraft. The steel beams were also cut at angles which is exactly how demolition crews prepare for an implosion. One of the towers fell to the ground in just over ten seconds which indicates that there was nothing underneath each floor as it fell. The type of explosions heard on film are consistent with demolition charges by way of timing and sound. People who survived the attack witnessed explosions happening beneath the impact area. Explosions were reported to have come from the elevator shafts and the lobby area. WTC Building 7 also collapsed just after 5 P.M. and it was not even hit by a plane, but explosions at the base of building 7 were caught on tape which are consistent with demolition of buildings.

The physics of steel structures and the laws of stochastics does not permit synchronous sequential failure of a large number of structural support joints. The destruction of WTC 1 and 2 and WTC 7 are clearly engineered demolitions.

Thanks to over 2000 architects and engineers and many others that inspired them and others to question it, it's obvious that the general public is not getting the truth about what happened on 9/11 and we should continue to ask for it.

I have a picture of myself and a friend on the top of the World Trade Center tower about two years before their destruction. That day changed my life forever and being a student of history, I know the importance of what happened on that day and what it means for our lives moving forward. We need a new investigation, I'm happy to sign.

Three steel buildings do not free fall into their footprints as a result of fire and pancaking would result in a longer time frame of fall. There needs to be a full criminal investigation into the destruction of these 3 buildings and destruction of evidence.

As a journalist I'm extremely concerned that the major media have ignored the serious questions about 9/11 raised by Architects & Engineers ae911. Our entire military and foreign policy is based on the events on 9/11. The tragedy is used to justify our loss of civil liberties, foster religious discrimination, and build up our already enormous military budget and wage wars around the globe against people who never did anything to us. It's time we exposed the facts that lead us to doubt the official explanation, and obtain a true investigation.

9/11 was a tragedy by design to bring about an expansion of the American Military complex and help establish permanent military bases in the Middle East. An emotional Pearl Harbor like event was used to invite both outrage and 'sacrifice of human liberties for the noble cause' [revenge?]. The official story of the 9/11 Commission is a total fairy tale and packed with artful and not so artful lying [socio-pathic], conjecture, false assumptions, and total denial of the laws of physics. Oh, and Bldg 7 was not even mentioned. Duhhhh! Investigation. Who's kidding whom? What actually happened is hard to prove; but independent comprehensive research would lead a rational person to believe that technologies were tested that day along with sophisticated controlled demolitions and intentional diversionary techniques.

Outside of work I am a keen musician playing both guitar and piano, visit the swimming regularly, and enjoy outdoor sports.
People these days thinks you're a mental for saying 9/11 was an inside job. I know why now. It's because it challenges their beliefs and feeling of insecurity. Well, people, it's our duty to ask questions. World Trade Center Building 7 could not come down by fire. If you know a little about the laws of physics then it should be clear to you, and that in history of building fires not one before nor after 9/11 ever came down due to fire! Please, I do not want to entertain conspiracy theories but it's up to us to ask questions, to leave this world a better place for generations to come. We should stand together and ask ourselves, are we a bunch of cheeps following what media or government tells us to believe without question, or are we those who seek the truth and justice for those lives lost and ultimately for us the human race? I ask you to take the time to search within where you stand...Didier

I have recently graduated from high school and I plan on becoming an activist and film-maker.
I originally did not think anything was strange about the 2 Towers collapsing, however my opinion began to change when I saw the Towers fall in a documentary. When I learned that a third building had collapsed from ''office fires'' I began to question everything. I think that it is highly likely that all 3 Towers were wired for demolition, what I now want to find out is who and why.
