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.

While I am not in a position to read and personally evaluate every scrap of evidence pertaining to this situation, there are far too many anomalies and unanswered questions for me to accept the party line. While I describe myself as a 9/11 agnostic I estimate that the likelihood of the official story is at best 1 in 10.

I've been a field engineer for the Montana Dept of Transportation since 2003. I attended college in Havre, MT at Montana State University - Northern and received a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering Technology.
I remember watching the footage that morning on television and thinking what a coincidence the first building fell into its footprint and discussed with my roommates the odds of that phenomenon. When the second building came down in its footprint, it was obvious to me foul play was involved. As information came out, including a British newscast with a reporter who received report Building 7 had just went down before it actually went down, I've become convinced further investigation must occur.

I have followed the 911 collapses since they occurred. Reading all the books, hearing lectures, indie film Loose Change and I am convinced that this was an inside job. The politics of the time dictated that fear was necessary to mobilize military forces against Iraq..as in the case of the book, Second Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin, history has repeated itself. This is a horrific and tragic reality that will cripple the US, its citizens, and be cause to restructure our existing government. The truth will set us free

In 1978 I moved to Alaska. I am now retired after 28 years in project management and construction management in Alaska. I have three grown children and a wonderful wife.
After studying various reports, videos, and other information, it is my opinion that the reopening of the 911 commission is warranted. The recent book written by two 911 commission leaders includes a first chapter entitled We were set up to fail. This does not do justice to the lives lost. This event was tragic and does not deserve to be clouded in unanswered questions. The pulling of building seven has to my knowledge not been explained.

My colleagues were satisfied with the pancake theory in 2002 having no prior experience in structure failures. In 2005 we further thought that documentary material such as Loose Change was very weak and further distanced ourselves from these theories without substance. I then saw the 2 hour Blueprint presentation and some further research which changed my mind. There may be some damage control involved in getting the message out.

I hold a degree from the Mark O Hatfield School of Political Science. After 9/11 I watched in horror as all of the historical indicators of tyranny and methods of demagoguery were conjured by the same government officials responsible for allowing the attacks of 9/11 to occur. The Bush administration ignored credible warnings that the attacks were eminent then obstructed meaningful investigations while hiding evidence from the public. I consider any government official not aggressively pursuing a public, unbiased, independent investigation backed by the subpoena powers of Congress to be complicit in these attacks.
After evaluating the evidence I believe there is no chance that one, much less all three, of the WTC towers could collapse due to fire and fall into their footprints without the help of explosive charges placed by knowledgeable persons. Furthermore, I don't believe that a commercial airliner could hit the pentagon and disintegrated leaving only a few fragments, and I know for a fact that cell phone calls could not have been made from a jet in flight as the technology was not available at the time.

I think the evidence speaks for itself, or the way the evidence has been supressed by the official investigation. I think the biggest piece of evidence are the video footage of the collapse of WTC 7 and the nano-thermite found in the dust.

I was intrigued by building #7 from the beginning. The towers were also curious, but not being an architect or having an understanding of how the buildings were constructed let me dismiss them to focus specifically on #7 -- I did a little research and was pleased to find out that other people had the same questions. The fact that the majority of the less intelligent people/people prone to believing in fairy tales I speak to tend to block you from finishing your sentence if you bring up demolition, absent of blaming anyone other than the terrorists, lets me know that a serious investigation is in order.

Ive studied building construction, and Ive also studied the effects of thermite/Thermate on steel. I have also studied the free fall collapse theory extensively. The Pancake collapse theory does not stand up to true in depth investigation.
I feel that the near free fall speeds of the towers collapse is very hard to attain with a pancake collapse. For the pancake theory to even be remotely plausible, there would have been much resistance from the floors below the impact areas, which would have slowed down the collapse. The debris that was thrown great distances away from the footprints of the buildings is also a giant question. Also the lack of a proper analysis of the dust, or soot that was created was never done.

Just a concerned mother of a 17 year old that wants to the truth to be known. I am unemployed and I believe the reasons for the last two positions I've lost are in direct relation to my believes about the collapse of the World Trade Centers. After expressing my views, I was deemed a nut and my career went down hill from there. Please don't stop! The entire world needs to know the truth and the real truth about the powers behind this horrific event.
I saw with my own eyes, the collapse of the World Trade Centers at freefall speed. I've listened to Richard Gage and the official stories and reports, including the National Geographic Special. National Geographic's staged tests were performed to convince the American people that the official story is true, but I could see it was not real science, just propaganda. Richard Gage gives us real science and I believe him. I'm concerned that the American people are not independent thinking enough to believe the truth because they've been condition to believe the brain washing machine - their television set. I am very scared for this country.

The evidence of thermite found in the fallen Twin Towers 1,2, and 7 is convincing scientific evidence and is staggering in its ramifications. This evidence should lead to a new investigation into any possible conspiracy in the destruction of the World Trade Center. American citizens deserve the truth from its government.

I have a full and complete Canadian elementary and high school education, which is more than is needed for one to come to the conclusion that the 9/11 commission report is blatantly inadequate in it's findings.
There is quite obvious evidence of controlled demolition in just VIEWING the collapse of WTC1, 2, and 7. If there was no use of explosives in the buildings, than how could all 3 have fallen at free fall speed in the EXACT same fashion? All 3 buildings fell straight into their own footprint, and these buildings where constructed out of fire-proof steel... where are the massive steel core columns that should have been sticking out of the ground? How come no steel buildings have EVER collapsed due to fire before or since 9/11? And why is there no mention of building 7 in the 9/11 commission report? These are just a sample of the questions i have surrounding the day of 9/11 and all of its obscurities.
