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.

Graduated from UCLA with a general engineering degree (Dean Boelter's philosophy was that engineers be full spectrum educated in all disciplines of engineering...electrical, chemical, structural, etc) My courses have included strength of materials including lab measurements and experiments. I have over the years been involved in building many structures and thus have an educated common sense knowledge.
On 9/11/01 my first view of the event was via internet but because I was preoccupied... I just didn't pay attention. Some time in 2008 I discovered Youtube and began watching the various videos...especially the many slow-motion views. At some point my educated and experienced brain started to focus on what I was observing and hearing. Many things became problematic...fire department reports of estimate to extinguish two hours...reports of a series of explosions etc. My common sense told me that asymmetrical heating of the columns should have caused the upper portion of the impact to fall to one side...alongside the standing portion. Factor in the classical controlled demolition similarity, the fine grade cement break-up, no standing columns, free-fall speed through a path of maximum resistance, the laws of physics defied, conservation of momentum etc. the first steel frame buildings collapse in history in one day...not one but three...it's just too much...something is rotten.

I was very young when I watched the 9/11 attacks, but it was one of my first memories, and it will stick with me forever. I thankfully did not have any friends or family perish in the attacks, but I knew many families that were impacted. I was always very suspicious of the explanations provided by the government led commissions. The evidence available at this point disproves much of what the commission has stated. It is imperative that there be a real investigation of what happened that day, for the sake of the families and the legacy we leave for generations to come.

I received my bachelors' degree in civil/structural engineering in 1975 from North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. Since 1975, I have been actively engaged in the practice of structural engineering for buildings of all types and sizes across the United States. I hold active licenses in most midwest states and other states from coast to coast. I am also currently working on many projects in Haiti including schools, clinics, churches and hospitals.
With my extensive acquired knowledge and practical experience in structural engineering design (over 39 years), I have always doubted the official reports regarding the cause of the collapses of the WTC site buildings. I wholeheartedly sign the petition to open the investigation with an unbiased, objective review regardless of where the conclusions may lead. This petition with the credentials of the professional signers may be unprecedented in modern history.

Modern steel-framed skyscrapers have never totally collapsed due to fire alone, much less at near free-fall speed in a straight-down fashion. The presence of numerous audible and visible small explosions lends credence to the theory that WTC 1,2, and 7 were all brought down by controlled demolition.

I have been skeptical of the 9/11 reports issued by our government. Even someone like myself who would be considered not 'highly' educated, not yet anyways, could clearly see that points in the statement just did not hold evidence to support them. I remember seeing the story about the skyscraper in Peru that burned for almost 3 days and, even though the top 17 floors that were on fire eventually did fall, the rest of the building did in fact remain intact and did not crumble as the twin towers did. And the fact that people who were actually in the tower made several reports of hearing bomb explode.

Not physically possible for towers to collapse. It seems like the government is trying to cover up the fact that Building 7 was demolished. The 9/11 Commission Report didn't have much to say about this building. They just said that it had fires on three floors and debris from the other Towers' collapsing made this one fall. None of this adds up because the Tower was made from steel. Steel melts at 2500 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is my belief from the evidence gathered that 9/11 was not an act of a foreign terrorist group. With evidence that nano thermite was present signifes that this was an action of a much more technical group. These persons had access to not only nano thermite but also an undisclosed amount of time and access to the twin towers and building 7. If we say that we are Americans and that we are united to stand, then why would any American set down and accept the official cause of this horrible act on innocent lives? As an American citizen I demand too know why a city in my nation suffered such huge losses of life and property.

I got my medical assistant license at a trade school and moved forward with it doing physical therapy for individuals with cerebral palsy. I have always been a big fan of knowledge as a whole, and even more so of spreading it.
It's not surprising to me that the general public doesn't want to hear the truths that have risen about these incidences. It's a rough thing to go back into your memory, and even worse to sit in and actually harvest the possibility that our chosen leaders may have, in some way, influenced it into occurrence. But physics, no matter where you go stay the same. And free fall, is free fall. In order for there to be nothing blocking WTC7, at the time of collapse, for the first eight stories is just preposterous. I'm no genius, but I'm assuming that means everything fell out at the exact same time, and was not obstructed in it's fall for eight stories. This is just a little too farfetched for me.

I am a fourth year student at St. Cloud State University studying in the Social Work program and aspiring to minor in Community Psychology. Spring semester 2014 I took a Human Relations course titled Global, Social, and Environmental Justice. Basically throughout this semester our main focus was on the attack of September 11th, 2001. It was from this class that I learned of this petition and website.
After viewing all of the information provided to me by the my Human Relations professor, along with all of the information provided throughout this website I strongly believe that the collapse of World Trade Center building Three was not a result of small office fires. In regard to this statement I also strongly support a new independent investigation!

I am an 18 year old student at the University of South Carolina. Although I have since changed my major, I formerly pursued a degree in Civil and Environmental engineering. The semester of college engineering classes I've taken have assisted me in my clarity of the 9/11 events.
After transcending my denial, I allowed my mind to see the impossibility of a commercial airline alone disintegrating a 100-story office building. I have also seen videos of thermite (not even thermate) in action on steel mediums and from that understood that only carefully placed uses of the incendiary could cripple such massive pieces of steel. Money is the root of all evil in this world, and I believe it is money, not the 'Taliban' or 'people who hate [Americans] because we're] free,' that drove George W. Bush and numerous other politicians and corporate higher-ups to conduct such a heinous act of treason against the American people.

When all three buildings disintegrated into thin air, as if there was a controlled demolition, including building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane, you begin to wonder.George W. Bush's brother was one of the top dogs for the security company for the twin towers. Dick Cheney had huge ties to Halliburton. Aaron Russon gave an interview detailing an 'event' that would spark a war on terror per John Rockafeller's remarks. - I think there's more than enough information here.

I graduated from Concord High School in 2013 with hopes of majoring in political science in college. Ever since my early days of high school I have been committed to learning more and more about the destruction of the WTC Towers. I hope to get the message out after I get my PoliSci Degree and will not stop the fight for the truth.
9/11 was a controlled event. There are certain indicators that tell us that something other than office fires and jet fuel brought these buildings down. Indicators like, molten metal at the crime scene, months of raging infernos even with rain and thousands of gallons of pyrocool, the microspheres in the dust. All of this information points to another culprit other than office fires, which is why we must continue to ask questions and demand a real investigation.

I'm in the third year of the Architecture & Urbanism course at UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista J'lio de Mesquita Filho. We are very focused on planning and aesthetics in our course, with some raw embasement about structures. Although, I am very interested on that field of science.
As an architecture student, it's my mission to provide good planning for buildings in general, and also be a responsible for my acts and my fails. Then I cannot accept all that impediment of the government on not letting a independent investigation to proceed. That's irresponsabile whereas there should be concern about the truth. I support this action and hope it is valid, even if I'm only a student.

It is impossible for all 47 steel columns to systematically collapse at the same time. Pancake theory is easily proven false. Thermite in the dust, phone calls telling people not to fly or go to world trade center. And of course the put options on American airlines.

From looking at evidence I have concluded for myself that the official report given by NIST doesn't even come close to giving an accurate explanation for what happened to the Towers that day. There are many questions that have to be answered to explain the physics of what happened to the towers, if one just goes over all the evidence it becomes very clear that the report given by NIST doesn't really answer much when it comes to their explanations of how the towers collapsed. Basically to me the NIST report is one massive guess with little scientific evidence to back it up.

Growing up in Canada, I've stayed informed regarding the political events in the United States. This tragedy in particular has been covered extensively by the Canadian media. My curiosity regarding this event led to discovering the many 'conspiracy theories' surrounding them. These theories were intriguing but ultimately easy to dismiss because they all got carried away with increasingly far fetched stories. I believe that it's imperative we stick to the basic facts and undeniable doubts then we may see what these lead to.
The official story of the destruction of the skyscrapers during September 11, 2001 defies common sense when considering the many pieces of evidence pointing towards a controlled demolition. Whatever the truth may be regarding this event, it must be revealed to citizens of the United States of America as well as the international community. This is vital in order to restore trust in the government and ensure that an event like this never happens again.

Interested in the truth my entire life. The day of the Kennedy assasination, about 4p. m. , I told my father I didn't believe the story. My father asked me why. I said because it has only been a few hours and they have months of information about what happened and Lee Harvey Oswald. And, they said they were sure that he acted alone, when it would have taken at least weeks, possibly months to know that for sure. Thats right, believe it or not, they couldn't fool an 8 year old. The official story of the events of 911 are just as unbelievable, the more you look at it the more impossilbe it is, and it is completely impossible.
The official story regarding the events of 911 is a ridiculous fairy tale. The actions of the President, the story of the planes and their path, the stand down of NORAD, the way the buildings collapsed, all false. There are literally 100's of reasons the official story cant be true.
