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 not yet seen a convincing CIA/NSA/government-sponsored 'debunker' come up with an alternative analysis. We also need to stress that there is lots of circumstantial evidence out there that is as convincing as the physical evidence. I don't think the government will willingly fund another investigation. Spreading the message is far more important for now.

People cannot imagine who caused the buildings to fall, beyond what they have been told, but we all must face the fact that these buildings were pulled. Once it's a mainstream idea that other factors were at work, we can move on to more of the truth. How can we build more buildings now knowing that our safety codes are so inadequate? Unless of course, the buildings were blown up!

It is ludicrous that the 911 commission did not investigate the possibility of intentional demolition by use of explosives of the 3 world trade center towers. I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty. It needs to be repealed after a REAL investigation of the events of 9/11 brings out the truth of what happened on that day.

Although I am not an expert in demolition, there is no doubt in my mind that the upper portion of the WTC tower(s) that apparently collapsed by fire could not bring down -along a perfect vertical axis- the other remaining officially undamaged structure of the tower(s) at free fall speed causing total and even destruction (pulverization) of the building . This is pure physics. As a technician I do not accept the 'pancake-fall' official version which utterly contradicts the logic of physics. The rest of the evidence provided by ae911truth.org leaves no doubt whatsoever that the cause of WTC's and building 7's fall was a controlled demolition. We all still suffer the consequences of this brutal event. As a free democrat European citizen I urge the American government to clarify all technical questions raised both by ae91truth.org and world911truth.org and I urge the (so called) Free Press to play an active roll on this issue.

The brilliant Part III of David Chandler's NIST Finally Admits Free Fall is all one needs to understand that explosives caused the WTC collapses. The evidence for controlled demolition is overwhelming, of course, but it is the weak official explanations and non-sensical debunker counter-arguments that truly seal the deal for me. The NIST admission video is therefore qualitatively superior to all other videos that voice only the 9/11 truth movement side. In admitting free-fall NIST admits that their fire-based collapse hypothesis is wrong and that their report is a scientific fraud. Previous demonstrated shortcomings of their investigation arguably amounted to simple negligence. Not investigating reports of thermite, molten metal, and collapse preknowledge stand out here. But in admitting free-fall NIST has conjured up a contradiction within their conclusions that cannot be argued away. All that remains now is to get a critical mass of people to view the free-fall videos, as well as the others. Our strongest influence is among our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Make it a practice to educate at least one new person per week from these groups. Do this in parallel with working your politicians and news media and we will eventually get a real investigation.

Buildings such as the Towers were designed to withstand an airplane flying into them. Towers such as this do not collapse in almost free-fall without being demolished, it is part of the engineered design that the base must be strong enough to hold the weight and stresses from above. Engineers ALWAYS over design - just in case! (In case they are sued!!) No structural engineer with an ounce of integrity could possibly say that the 3 WTC buildings were not demolished in a controlled manner. Regarding WTC7, this was a more conventional type of steel framed building and should not under any circumstances have collapsed due to a fire, even if that fire raged throughout the structure. None of the evidence presented by the authorities makes much sense. It needs to be challenged and tested because if 'cold' fires did contribute to the collapse of these structures the designers are in trouble. It would mean that everything we have designed and built in steel and concrete is fatally flawed. We know this is not the case. The world has been lied to - repeatedly, and if you tell the lie often and loud enough, the ignorant public will believe whatever they are told to believe.

At the age of 11, I watched in horror, as my country transformed forever in real time right before my eyes. That morning I woke up to a shifting dusk morning air, as the birds chirped seemingly louder than usual next to my open bedroom window. That hot Colorado summer was quickly giving way to the coming fall season, and the new school year was setting its pace, as I began 6th grade just after a months long family visit in Europe with my grandparents. When I went downstairs for our routine morning cereal and homework check, a look of horror on my mother's face that I hope to never witness on anyone ever again, engulfed the living room as she gleamed in disbelief at the news reports on the television. Living smack dab in between Ft Carson and Peterson Air Force base, in my home town of Widefield Colorado, the city of Colorado Springs that morning was clenched in the security of the armed forces, on standby, ready to deploy by the command of NORAD, which was just 10 miles west of our home. I would never forget the military response to the attacks on our nation. Tanks, armored vehicles, and fully suited soldiers lined the streets. At that young age, the sight of responding heroes and patriots inspired me, and I was awestruck at what seemed at the time, the most honorable and brave men and women I'd ever seen, as my mother slowly drove my little sister and I to a terrified and frozen school district, which in the hours following would soon dismiss all classes until further notice. Things would never be the same again. Still impacted and full of revenge, 7 years later, at the age of 18 I joined the United States Army airborne infantry. It seems I was plagued with a thirst to do my part in fighting back those who brought so much pain and change to my nation. During my service I started hearing claims of an inside job. After years of rebuke, and denial, I wasn't hearing these claim any more, but began LISTENING to them. Unfathomable accounts. Unbelievable statements. Eventually I began to do my own research. In saddened disbelief, sitting in the middle of a war torn Middle Eastern village, I stared at videos, and reports on my lap top. It was an unquestionable conclusion. My own government, the leaders of this nation and others who I am sworn to and vowed to protect, played its own hand in the very attack I now deplore and fight to avenge. I felt furious. I felt betrayed beyond words. I wanted out of the military right then and there. The things we've done, the waste of life, the blood shed, all in the name of self inflicted victimization. Today I stand proud as a combat veteran, who now realizes who we were truly fighting for. It wasn't for those empty suits in smoke filled rooms. We were fighting for you. The citizens of this nation. The people. Those who knew the whole time what our government was doing to itself. We were fighting for the victims of that day and the citizens who on the days before and after 9/11, couldn't fight for themselves. Our government, a corrupt bureaucracy, who evidently is willing to kill its own people for power and control, will go beyond its means to silence those who speak against it. But I stand before you today, 20 years later, to say thank you to all the experts, the survivors and victims of that attack. Thank You for speaking out and fighting for truth. Today I am currently enrolled in college, studying to become an electrical engineer. I hope to one day utilize my education to back up what we know and continue this fight for truth with expertise and wisdom. My sincere condolences go out to the families, and my deepest respect go to the TRUE experts who have worked endlessly to expose the truth. You have inspired me to join this fight. To those who were there, I'm sorry you have to constantly relive that day and I pray for your peace. I salute you all. Stefan D Amos

I left school at age 18 and worked in various factory's and farming jobs until I was 21 years old. I then went to London to work as a computer operator. I have since worked for over 46 years in the IT industry for a number of Banks, Building societies, Insurance companies and Energy companies.
I was in London when I saw the events of 9/11 unfold on a TV. At the time it happened, I kept getting flash backs to a centre page Daily Mail news article that described how terrorists could hit the twin towers with planes. Although, even this article stated the steel structure design would stop the towers from collapsing. I believe that this news paper article was produced in the late 1970's or early 1980's, but I've since been unable to locate it. I believe the original 9/11 report was a whitewash with many unanswered questions being over looked and a lot of key evidence being destroyed. As a result, I would like to see a truly independent investigation into 9/11.

Been an RN for a bit over 30 years. Doubted many things in my life, ie propaganda I've been fed. Past few years have been more involved in seeking the truth. I believe in truth no matter what the cost, but sometimes the truth is hard to take. We are always being lied to.
Watched this happen in real time when I was living in CT. Went to Ground Zero the following February 2002. Since then I've heard other thoughts that it was impossible for a plane to hit the Pentagon by the size of the hole. Watched George Bush's face when he was told about the event. He was in a classroom. I'll never forget that look. Like he knew all about it. Just a feeling.

I had my builders license in Australia and owned a small Construction Company prior to my calling to the priesthood in 1995. In 1994 I visited the Twin Towers and was amazed that it was design to withstand the impact of a plane.
Having had a career in the Construction Industry, I believe that all three towers at the WTC were brought down by controlled demolition.

I graduated high school in 1986 , I currently hold no professional license in anything , I am a single white male over 50 so my opinion doesn't matter much to the mainstream society we have nowadays , but I am glad and honored to sign this petition , I learned 3 years ago of the corruption concerning 9/11 and I've followed it ever since , I feel like I have a good idea who was behind it although I don't talk about it much because when I do people will want to change the subject they're not open-minded. Thank you for this opportunity and God bless you and God bless America.
I remember what I was doing the day it happened and I never thought of it being an inside job until about 3 years ago when I saw a documentary about it I now believe that a lot of politicians know about it and the wrong persons were blamed for it.
