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 have examined all the evidence from a wealth of highly qualified scientists, engineers, professionals, experts and specialists I could find, and see no grounds for continuing to believe that the events of 9/11 were the result of a terrorist attack on the United States. It is a travesty of international justice and human rights that there has not been a full independent enquiry and full freedom of the press, and yet legislation has still been passed restricting the rights of individuals all over the world as a result of the perceived threat of islamicist terror mongering.

Never heard about building 7 till now. This is definitely a demolition job. I've taken static class, which is for mechanical engineers to understand how structures are supported in college, and from what I see in the video of that building coming down so synchronously, this must have been a controlled demolition.

I was a city engineer for 34 years for the cities of Jefferson City, St. Joseph, and Raytown, Missouri. Graduated from the University of Missouri at Rolla in 1972 and received PE license in 1978. Designed bridges, roadways, storm, sanitary sewers, and traffic signals. Also, served 20 years with the United States Navy Reserve Civil Engineer Corps and retired as Commander, USNR.
Being a civil engineer and understanding the laws of physics, I know that a building cannot fall a free fall speed without the floors already falling also giving no resistance. I wish our congressmen were as smart, and also showed some backbone and got a truly independent investigation going. Also, this 911 truth movement has shown to me that our press is as every bit controlled and spits out as much propaganda as I thought Pravda did for the old Soviet Union. My eyes have been awakened to many things, and I have come to learn that we do not live in as free a country as I thought we did, and with the passage of the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, it has become even less so. Let's elect Ron Paul and bring our country back under the Constituion!!

Considering the facts available in the public domain, from various sources, the official report does not pass the test of scrutiny, and raises more questions than it answers. Facts seem to tilt the causes of the WTC destruction to the controlled demolition hypothesis.

My brother (Shawn) and I are historical researchers, primarily in the 20th and 21st century in American politics. We have met with many 9/11 researchers. We live in Manhattan, New York and indeed witnessed the collapses of WTC I & II from a few blocks away.
As I stated above, my brother and I witnessed the collapse of WTC I & II. Through our research and what we saw on 9/11 it is our informed opinion that the collapses were the result of high-tech means not associated with NIST's conclusions. We believe that demolitions, at the least, were used to bring down the buildings, especially Building 7. We have read David Ray Griffins books and others.

There should be a real investigation into what happened to the three buildings that collapsed, with all the comparisons and information we have regarding how a building falls at free-fall speed with control demolition, I have no doubt that the september 11 day happenings where a planned catastrophe and was one of the biggest crimes in history, this should be held accountable to the people that orchestrated this crimes. There is to many things left unsaid, and facts, proofs, doubts on people all around the world on what really happened that day.

Basic observation of the fall of 3 towers at the speed of gravity into their own footprint leads immediately to the conclusion that the buildings were brought down by demolition techniques, not by some airplanes. Huge amounts of evidence support and corroborate this conclusion.

It's very clear that there is misinformation in the government investigation about how the buildings collapsed on Sept 11th. More than planes and heat from the crashes or fires were responsible. It's important to hear the truth so that this criminal act can be fully reconciled. Most importantly, the survivors who lost loved ones are demanding and deserve the truth.

I witnessed, on television, the destruction of the World Trade Center and did not believe for a moment that planes could bring down the buildings. When Building 7 fell, I was astonished. One could see several small fires, but no damage. I later saw a video of Larry Silverstein saying he told the fireman to 'pull' the building. Any person who knows anything at all knows that it takes weeks, even months, to 'pull' down a building. I was suspicious right away. Reading further and doing research I came to suspect that WTC was mined for demolition months before 9/11.

It could not have happened like it did without explosives possessing thermite. And the reason they quickly confiscated the ruins was to remove the traces of thermite and any other evidence that would show 9-11 was planned by sinister forces in the government. If some crazy terrorists could get through the world's tightest air defense network, then we as a nation are totally vulnerable to attack at any time. It's a wonder that the Soviets with their sophisticated capabilities hadn't attacked us during the Cold War. But the truth is that 9-11 was a hoax perpetrated on the gullible U.S. citizens who could never believe their own government would do such a thing. Well, since they killed 3 million Vietnamese and 600 K Cambodians, and 1 million Iraqis, the majority of whom were civilians, what's to stop them from taking out a few thousand Americans? Life is cheap when it comes to making money. And that's what this is all about -profit at any cost. It's very sad.

I believe 9/11 Truth helps bring America and the World closer to World Peace, as well as Liberty and Prosperity to all the people of the world.
AE911Truth proves the NIST Report is fraudulent and criminal. The forensic evidence in the dust alone proves explosives and/or high temperature incendiaries, such as thermite, were present. NIST denies they tested for explosives?! Whether forced or not, Mr. Gross and Sunder are accessories to mass murder for their role in this atrocious cover-up. I wish the families of the victims truth, justice, closure, and peace in their hearts.

The free-fall physics clearly reveal controlled explosive demolition on WTC 1, 2, & 7; with possibly exotic black-ops high-tech used on WTC 1 & 2, and what is obviously standard demolition where WTC 7 is concerned. The official NIST report on these buildings' destruction is nothing less than fiction, fabricated by treasonous colluders, and foisted on the American People by traitors at the very highest level of US Government. Ground-level views show that the mass of the Towers is largely missing, and aerial views actually reveal craters, instead of piled rubble. Molten steel lingering for weeks could not have come from jet fuel fires. Pre-demolition witness accounts and pictures taken on the scene indicate the WTC was looted, vaults blown, and vital evidence pertaining to several major criminal investigations was either stolen or destroyed in the subsequent demolition act. Additionally, what has been called the Wile E. Coyote-wingtip-to-wingtip cut-outs in the tower faces underscores the preposterous lie of the official story -- no commercial aircraft could entirely punch its own perfect silhouette through the Towers, let alone nose-out on the other side. This is the worst thing to happen to America in her history, perpetrated by those entrusted to lead us, who have used these events of their own making to lead us into mendacious wars against people who had nothing to do with this crime. It's easy to fool a trusting people, but that trust is gone now, and we now see the murderers who perpetrated this heinous charade for who they are. There is no statute of limitations on murder.

The events of 9/11 and their subsequent effect on all Americans and citizens of our world deserve an unbiased, comprehensive, and objective examination of the causes of the events of that day. Anything less is tantamount to obstruction of justice and any persons or agencies that are found to have altered, destroyed, or misrepresented facts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I do not claim to have any technical knowledge regarding architecture. The evidence for further investigation is prima facie.
There are far too many questions left unanswered. Why wasn't any of the metal tested? Why was it quickly hauled away before an investigation could be done? What about the thermite found in some of the debris? Why did tower 7 collapse just like 1 and 2?

When watching the 2 WTC towers fall, they seemed to implode far-too-perfectly for my mind to comprehend. The Century 21 Building directly across the street from these behemoth buildings did not even sustain more damage than broken windows. Never made any sense. And, for Building 7 to have collapsed for no logical reason almost 7 hours later, is highly suspect.

I had various adventures before I spent twenty years working with the intellectually disabled. I am a sometime songwriter with a song regarding 9/11 and the breaking of the laws of physics.
Whether you live in China or Romania you've been affected by 9/11 and its aftermath. Perhaps there's a tribe somewhere which has neither heard of 9/11 nor been directly impacted by this event but for the rest of humanity, its brought devastation, war and profit. Fifteen years ago and home from the evening shift at a Group Home, and I turn on the 24 hour news service just after the first tower was struck. Every eye and every camera was focused on that first smoking tower and the shock of such an accident happening was deep. When the second plane struck it stopped being an accident and became deliberate. The question of whom and why was secondary to that hideous twist of perception. The veil gets lifted from one's eyes. I watched the unfolding events, the Pentagon being hit, the twin towers coming down and that's when the third shock occurred, far more serious than the previous two. They came down in close to free fall speed and fell into their own footprint. This astounding event - no skyscraper in the world, before or since 9/11 has duplicated this without controlled demolition being involved. The sickening implication was, inescapably, that this whole event was staged. I kept watching, knowing full well that I was witnessing something monstrous and utterly evil unfold. A forty seven story building known as Building 7, part of the Twin Towers complex, also came down on that day. It wasn't hit by anything other than a few bits of rubble yet it fell - in free fall - and did so into its own footprint. It defies the laws of physics one of which states that free fall cannot occur unless every impediment to the fall is removed. It is simple and factual yet it gets little mention in main stream press. In the days, weeks and months which followed, I avidly kept touch with every film, podcast and documentary of those critical days. Critical because the direction of the whole world turned into war and this affects all of us. I found out who owned what and what departments were obliterated, what investigations were stifled. A question of 'who gains?' - follow the money. Two games with which many are familiar are Monopoly and chess. The first turns small children and adults alike into ruthless real estate entrepreneurs. It's the nature of the game and sentiment soon disappears in the pursuit of power, control and wealth. Any chess player understands that to be able to see a few moves ahead is essential but also understands that to make each move serve more than one purpose is critical to winning the game. There are hundreds of hours of video about 9/11. There are many thousands of engineers, pilots, architects and physicists who testify that the events of 9/11 do not make sense. It is something which will not go away and neither should it do so. Whole societies have been broken as a direct result of this crime against humanity, a crime which could not have happened without great planning and attention to detail. With a cast of players who sometimes forgot their script and unfortunate details such as no evidence at all of a plane striking the Pentagon, the instinctive reaction that I had fifteen years ago has proved correct. The fact that it still isn't 'front and center' in common perception is understandable. Who would willingly accept that such a conspiracy could occur? There is no theory attached to the word, conspiracy. Not in this case.

The official story is permeated with inconsistencies. Three buildings collapsing perfectly downward surely suggests controlled demolition. WTC7 was not hit by an airplane, but Larry Silverstein said ''pull it.' Too many inconsistencies, none of which favor common sense.

I am a graduate of NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Sydney, Australia. I have worked in theatre in many capacities; Stage Manager, Production Manager, Writer, Director and Designer. I have also worked in film production.
Initially, like everyone else in the world, I was appalled and shocked at the brazen attack on our most trusted and respected ally, the United States of America. I was brought up to respect America and made to understand that, if it wasn't for the USA armed forces, Australia would have been lost to Imperial Japan, in WW2. My father served bravely throughout that war, joining in 1939, when 17 years old (he lied about his age), serving in the Middle East, then in Papua New Guinea. He was seconded to the US Forces for awhile, in PNG, to help new recruits with cannon, he was a bombardier. Dad had nothing but the greatest respect for America, and after becoming an exploration geologist, he worked for an American company for many years. Because of my respect for America, I believed what the news services said about 911, without question, until I saw a film titled 'In Plane Sight'. The shock of what I saw drove me to research the events more, and instead of finding confirmation of the official US Government explanation of the events of that dreadful day, I found more questions, more doubts were raised in my mind, because the basic laws of physics do not change, yet, what the Bush Administration wanted me to accept, was in contradiction to the visual evidence shown on the film shot by the networks on 911. America is bigger than any band of tin pot crooks, America can, and has, recovered from great misfortune before, but, to allow the lie to continue, unchallenged, is to tarnish America's reputation. Please open you minds and look at the films shot that day, please do not let the innocent victims die in vain. -

I don't like the way, we, humans, think that some occupations and educations are better than others, going as far as the idea that the human species is divided in many subspecies called occupations. Politicians and scientists can't do their work if their bread is not grown by a farmer and baked by a baker.Also, relevant to my biography is that I have been a vegetarian for 40 years now (and never have been ill because of it) and I never in my life have driven a motorized craft nor owned one. It simply is not necessary. My feet and a simple bicycle suffice. And if really necessary there is something called public transportation.Relevant also is, that I don't believe in the sectarianism of nationalities and nations. We are all humans with the same wish: To live as long and as pleasurably as possible. We will never reach that possibility if we keep thinking capitalistic and within the narrow mindedness of different countries. So, I stand for a Worldwide Unconditional Basic Income.
When 9-11 took place, I was at work. A few colleagues, who had their work break shortly before me, came on the work floor with information of what was taking place. My first reaction was: They did it themselves (meaning a certain group of so-called North-Americans). I never doubted that and still don't doubt it. I have seen the falling down of the Towers, and the other building many times thereafter, but at the first sight, to me it was clear, this could be nothing else but a controlled demolition. You don't need much education at all to know and understand that.

I have been a celibate monk for 45 years. I practice Vedic techniques for purification and realization of the Absolute Truth in it's (his) ultimately personal feature. This is theism with a strong tradition behind it going back thousands of years, as well as an elaborate philosophical basis.
It is immensely important that the truth of 9-11 finally goes mainstream, leading as soon as possible to the first genuine investigation of what actually took place. The repercussions of the 9-11 would have been quite different had the this truth been known. So we must turn the tide, better late than never....

If the official story does not hold water like a mosquito net can never be considered water tight. Then we all have a duty to demand first an explanation why it does not. Secondly upon this easily reached conclusion, we the people must demand a public independent inquiry to establish the truth. It is wholeheartedly unbelievable that we the people remain in such utter ignorance and denial whilst exhibiting excessive collective amnesia drowned by a Tsunami of Normalcy bias.Time to wake up the walking dead for this fiery lie is the tip and just the beginning of the melting iceberg of government and so called leaders that we all, so blindly, believed in. There is a great future for Humanity. First one step at a time we must remove the rot level by level like buildings falling down. Keep on the great path through the dark forest and soon bright new horizons will appear, the light always leads the way through darkness.

Left school at 13 with little or no formal education. I am a self-taught and self-made man. I have never accepted state handouts. I believe we need little or no government. I know all about the banking industry and how we are being screwed by the central banks and about the medical industry and BIG PHARMA and the food industry, GMO's etc.I live a simple non-consumer lifestyle and eat only organic food.I spread the word about AE911truth.org everywhere.
One cannot dispute facts. WTC 7 was a controlled takedown and had to have been planned months if not years in advance.The two towers were also taken down with the planes used as sideshow.More new info on this new 9/11 movie 9/11: Decade of Deception (Full Film NEW 2015)Press For Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqqelDq4P48

I have been a Legal Assistant for most of my adult life, which has provided me with a considerable amount of knowledge into various legal concepts and matters. I am also a writer and the author of an innovative children's book series entitled Alphabet Anatomy, which helps to easily facilitate letter knowledge so children can master the alphabet and letter concepts. I am married to a retired firefighter and we have 4 adult sons.
I am appalled at the incredible incompetence and obvious shortcomings of the 9/11 Commission in blatantly failing to perform a satisfactory investigation into the most vicious attack on our country. The fact that this petition is even necessary is disgraceful to the citizenry at large and heartbreaking for all the victims' family members.I have viewed the 9/11 videos numerous times and am convinced that explosives were used as it is abundantly clear that they fell due to controlled demolition. I understand that the Architects & Engineers performed many scientific tests and gathered much additional evidence to support their claims. They are experts in these matters and must be heard.I demand that an independent investigation be conducted.
