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 was born in Culver City California, in 1954. I earned a B.A. in English Literature from Loyola Marymount University, in 1976. Since that time I have worked in various capacities, mostly in the arts. For the past 2 years I have worked with Dr. David Ray Griffin and other committed 9/11 truth activists to create the organization: Actors & Artists for 9/11 Truth. (AA911).
On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was stunned. Like millions of concerned world citizens, I stared in horror as the shocking devastation of the tragic events unfolded on television. Still, a few disturbing questions almost immediately haunted me. 1. I could not understand how a handful of terrorists armed with crude hand tools could possibly outwit the most elaborate defense apparatus in world history. 2. Recalling the immediate response, when professional golfer Payne Stewart's small private jet veered off course years ago, it seemed highly implausible that four hijacked commercial jetliners would fly unhindered through U.S airspace for a considerable time period without one of them being intercepted. 3. The strangely symmetrical and uniform collapse of the two twin towers did not correspond with ANYTHING in my experience. The only comparison I could draw was to special effects in Hollywood action films. For a few weeks, I mourned and closely followed accounts of the events, as explained by pundits on mainstream media. All the while, I resisted the darkly unthinkable conspiratorial scenarios taking vague shape in my mind. One day, I finally googled up 9/11 to explore the alternative views. My skin crawled at the volume of information which confirmed my darkest suspicions. Thus began my decade long odyssey as a 9/11 truth activist.

It is obvious that the controlled demolition theory is the true one. It is also obvious that the official theory is not correct. I particularly note that the politicians involved even today are strongly ignoring the facts and are doing everything they can to cover-up, and fight against the truth coming out.

I am a Minnesota native and am politically active in my city precinct. I am also an architecture and engineering student through the Minnesota State College and Universities system. I recently published a book title Organized Chaos which outlines in detail how 9/11 could not have happened how the government said it did and how 9/11 is being used as a pretext to invade the countries of the Middle East to get the Military industrial Complex cranking and to convince the American people to give up their civil liberties in exchange for security.
There is no way that Jet Fuel (Kerosene) which can also be used to heat pop rivets could have sustained the amount of heat required to melt steel. Also, there is no way that a steel building (i,e. Building 7) could have collapsed in its own footprint after burning for a few hours when it only sustained superficial damage, when other, much older, buildings have burned for days with much more intense fires and never collapsed.

My first thought besides horror, when I saw the disaster on tv, was no way, does a building collapse like that! And 2 at the same time! These building should have collapsed sideways above the crash place, and left most of the bottom floors standing. A masterpiece in perfect demolition! How many people in the world can do that? Later, when I saw building 7 went down, there was no doubt at all, that it was pulled down controlled. Collapse towards the center of the building, and almost simultaneously collapse of all walls. And still, I haven't heard and explanation why it went down? What

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.

Heat rises, so why would the buildings' integrity have been compromised below the points of impact and below the fire? This does not compute... As Spock would say, that is not logical. I have watched Ironworkers cut big iron with oxygen/acetylene torches and know that a fire from jet fuel could in no way cause buildings to collapse the way the Twin Towers did on 9/1/11. Not to mention all of the rebar in the concrete floors and the conduit that held all of the electrical wiring... both of with would have caused major resistance in a natural fire. These buildings disintegrated into dust... they did not collapse. They fell in the path of greatest resistance... not possible without the help of explosives. The iron is BIG IRON... as I have heard it called by Union Ironworkers...

I am not an engineer or architect, but I am adding my voice to the call for transparency.
It's beyond time for the world to hear the truth of what really happened. Withholding information and protecting the guilty parties is simply unconscionable. May those with the power to open the vaults of information and order a REAL investigation of the facts, please step forward. Your courage and integrity will be rewarded. We cannot heal what hasn't been revealed, so please act now.

I call the collapse of WTC 7 the Al Capone tax evasion style goof up. We must concentrate all efforts on building 7 because it's the most obvious part of the lie, therefore best to awaken the conditionned minds. Once this happens, the rest should fall into place.

The truth will set us free: incredible discord continues between professional & non-professional folks & their views & reputations, WORLD-WIDE, and it seems the epitomy of human failure & progressiveness to not reveal the truths of all events surrounding 9/11/01, especially because it boggles the senses of the thinkers, that the info regarded as truth seems so impossible. Researchers have been tireless to try to explain, due to the simple necessities of future building projects, if nothing else. I have read & viewed everything i could on this event for many years, and continue to hope that truths will be shared, no matter egos involved, since corruption is & has always been a factor of human existance everywhere. I wish for maturity & truth.

I'm seeking to start a company in MA. It is for cards, and it is to help children in poverty. I believe this does need looking into because of the various composites of this country..and the varying entities. It has been specified by one or two people who know about these kinds of works. It appeared plausible, and I would like to see this looked in. Something just isn't right..
I saw some videos of it. I saw pictures, and I saw the layout of the buildings. I saw this on another site. The people were competent in their work, and they showed the interior of the building, and how the elevators were fashioned, from one floor to another..& how they connected at certain intervals. I saw a lot of different designs from the interior & the exterior walls. It looks like something is amiss. I just believe it should be looked into...

Anyone who has seen buildings brought down'whether on construction sites or on news programs'can see how the structure falls. The collapse of the twin towers and Building 7, the comments made by the police (and other knowledgeable people) leave too many unanswered questions. We want the truth. The people of New York, the emergency workers, the families'the citizens of this country'deserve to have them.

I'm just a concerned individual as a whole. I've been educating myself on the tragedies that have followed since the collapse of the twin towers. My eyes have been opened to the truth that seems to be out in the open, yet at times can seem prone to conspiracy by normal minds.
The mere fact that building #7 collapsed basically on its own is mind-blowing. Throughout history there has never been a building, or buildings, that has collapsed on its own while under fire. The steel structures in the twin towers were set in place to withstand a plane penetrating the building. In no way shape or form should they have pancaked in that matter. Scientifically in can be upheld that they were in fact brought down. There needs to be an in depth analysis into the destruction of the twin towers. My theory is that is was enforced to bring forth an agenda that resonates to this day. The economic situation that we are facing today is directly related to that day of reckoning. The American public needs to stop believing the lies that are being perpetuated through the tactics of war and start researching the truth. It's been played out through history time and time again. Until the public realizes that government agendas are put well before human lives, only then will the veil be lifted from the eyes of the blind.

My initial reaction to the 911 collapse was one of surrealism and disbelief at what I had seen. Since then I have done a lot of research and investigation into the events of 911 and believe that the official story conflicts what the science says must have happened.
There is mounting evidence of the use of explosives in the collapse of all 3 buildings of the world trade center. A new investigation of the circumstances surrounding the events of 911 needs to be done now!

I believe that every US citizen needs to know the truth regarding 9/11.
I don't believe that the world trade center building collapsed from the planes that went into them. I don't believe that the fuel was hot enough to bring the buildings down, and I want to know what truly happened. I believe that there where some kind of explosives that where strategically placed to bring the buildings down so that America would be convinced to go to war.

Citizen that has not been satisfied with the answers in the 911 commission report. Disappointed in the Media's truth and researching and reporting of the events. I was a home builder that can readily see what happened, yet the average news reports are nowhere. I have researched alot of journalists that have scientific and truthful info about the events and I have been convinced at many levels.
I have doubted the reasons for several years. The mushrooming, the molten steel, the traces of chemical explosives, the eyewitness reports from police and firemen, the stand down, the pilots that have come forward to say their story over Pennsylvania, the ridicule from media talkers, the stiffing of the 'new developments' in the truth of the events. There is more but I don't have the time now to explain.

After viewing the footage of the building 7 collapse I feel violated and lied to by those who were in power during 9/11. I just don't see how a fire caused that collapse and would love a logical explanation (I just don't see how that's possible though).
