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 am a proud US Navy veteran, journeyman electrician, and degreed electrical engineer with a focus on energy systems.
WTC-7 collapsed at free fall for 2.25 seconds, over 105 feet of its initial descent. We see the roofline go from stationary into absolute free fall. NIST agrees that WTC-7 collapsed at free fall on page 46 of the 'final report on the collapse of WTC-7' (not their rough draft). NIST acknowledges 105 feet of free fall for 2.25 seconds, but does not see a problem with this. I see a very big problem with this. Anyone that has something to hide about 9/11 is a suspect in my book. There ARE more terrorists still out there. We need to bring these people to justice! Lastly, on 9/10/2001, then secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced to the world that our Pentagon cannot account for 2.3 trillion dollars. The next day, 9/11/2001, nobody cared about his 2.3 trillion dollar announcement.

Reading through the N.I.S.T final report on WTC7, I beg to differ that a single asymmetrical point of structural failure could create a fluid and consistent free fall of the building. I also cannot imagine that a type of furniture fire could aid in its collapse. The amount of heat that would be needed in order to have any type of effect in such a way would have to tremendous. Also, viewing the aftermath of the other towers that were in closer proximity to the twin towers and the fact that they did not collapse in such a manner as WTC7 can provide some evidence that there insufficient research and explanations as to why WTC7 collapsed in such a way. I think it would be a service to the nation to get correct and applicable information to explain what really happened that day.

I have building & construction experience in California as a licensed building contractor.
1)Jet fuel burning cannot melt steel. 2)Explosions were noted by witnesses before and during the fall. 3)Sparks coming from building during fall. 4)Free fall of the buildings into their footprint indicate the underlying structure was removed by explosion. 5)The pool of molten steel under the rubble (note #1 above) 6)Picture I saw of column cut at a diagonal in the debris. 7)The fact that building #1's top started to topple sideways and then it rotated back to the footprint indicates controlled demolition. 8)The most damming of all is the finding of unburned high energy thermite in the dust of the towers. 9)The statement made about pulling building 7. 10)The disappearance of jet engines at the Pentagon. 11)Hole at Pentagon too small for a jet liner with wings. 12)The convenient absence of jet fighters that should have been scrambled in this event of hijacked, off course jetliners. 13) Bush's reaction after being told.

The official story was not consistent with the building collapses that were captured on video and that were reported by eyewitnesses on 9/11. I re-iterate that which has been stated by others: 'Asymmetrical damage to a building does not result in symmetrical building collapse at free-fall acceleration.'The claims of other experts that physical and chemical evidence exists, that warrants the investigation into other causes, should be truthfully and thoroughly investigated by our government.

My college education is in the field of psychology with 30 hours post-graduate work in educational psychology.
I have always questioned the 'official position' of what happened at 9/11. The answers seemed too simplistic and, quite frankly, unbelievable to me. Common sense has told me that what I saw as massive destruction could not have been caused by an airplane hitting such a strongly fortified skyscraper. I also always wondered why there was no response from any form of security force to intercept this tragedy when supposedly America has the best military defense system in the world.

Recent college graduate who has spend 5 years studying testimony and video footage of the collapses and minutes leading up to them.
The collapses appear to challenge in the extreme the probabilities for a natural melting, failure and subsequent collapse, in that highly structurally sound buildings fell through the path of most resistance in free-fall speed. Testimony and seismography also claim that many other explosions occurred that seem unexplainable just prior to the building failures.

From the first '9/11 truth' docu. film I saw (9/11 Eyewitness, c. 2004) it was obvious to me after 3-5 viewings (and even more so after dozens of viewings) that the collapses of the 3 buildings must have involved explosives. There is no way that a building collapsing 'due to fire' (as alleged by the 9/11 Commission) would be instantaneously pulverized into microscopic dust (and people into bone fragments), occurring at free-fall speed and perfectly symmetrically. When I heard William Rodriguez's testimony in his film 'Last Man Out' of explosions occurring in the basement levels PRIOR to the plane impact, and multiple explosions thereafter (throughout the buildings, as he attempted to rescue trapped people,) this was much to 'coincidental' for me to believe the official account... Thank you AE911Truth for spreading the news... and for those of you out there just beginning to study this subject.... This is not a 'bipartisan' issue. The Truth will out.

After being exposed to the initial events and following stories concerning 09-11-01 I became uneasy about these happenings. This feeling led me to examine alternative sources of information, other than mainstream media. The evidence presented in Blueprint for Truth, coupled with over 500 architects and engineers signing a petition, only serves to fuel my suspicions that 9-11 was an inside job. I am pleased that professional people have joined this cause. That American lives were lost that day, and other lives have been lost in the aftermath, is a sad, sinister matter. I want to thank all of the patriots associated with AE911 truth for bringing this issue to light.

I saw Dr. Stephen Jones on CSPAN with my husband a few years ago, and since that time we have been convinced of the treasonous government conspiracy on 9/11/2001. I am also convinced that the Architects and Engineers, just the facts mam, approach is the best. We need first to establish the scientific truth about the events, then go after the culprits.

I am not a scientist, I am a visual artist and as such, I pay attention to details. As an avid student of Socrates and Descarte, I have knack for detecting lies and disinformation.
I believe it was a classic false-flag operation. The buildings came down remarkably neat, which indicates a controlled demolition. I agree with Steve Jones' assessment that themite was used to undermine the structural integrity of WTC 1 and 2. Building 7 was obvious (note the crimp that is glaringly evident in the slow motion footage of the building being pulled). Also it is obvious that the powers that be removed evidence. My simple question is, who stands to gain?

I cannot be too technical here but I have seen many videos on the subject and I have listened to the debates on youtube with Popular Mechanics and the producers of Loose Change. Initially I resisted the idea that there was a controlled demolition but the films and literature illustrate the truth to the layman.

I grew up in NYC. Although I had good opportunities in my youth I dropped out of high school and have not had much success in life. Although I have lived in poverty here for the last 20 years in Western MA, I've still had good times and friends and fond memories as well, just as I did in the city I was born in. I am a recent father, though this is not in the best circumstances. I am yet joyful of my daughter and endeavor to help her, and her mother who is estranged from me, as best as I can.
It is clear that the towers did not fall because aircraft struck them. The story we were TOLD was something I had no reason to doubt and believed completely until I saw Loose Change years ago. I believe the controlled demolition evidence presented here on A&E Truth, and in other forums. I am fearful for my country and this world because of what it means. My politics are left leaning and probably I focus on them too much. I have been this way long before this thing about 911 came to my attention. I have watched my values swept away since that day. But my heroes like Noam Chompski and Amy Goodman are now with feet of clay, now that I've learned this stuff. I still have to go back and look at the facts you have presented here because the world just don't care and I start to wonder if I'm sure. No one knows for sure. But I know we need another official investigation. The only way we are going to get one is with the little people seeing the truth. And though that takes time it does eventually start to grow exponentially.

From the moment I witnessed the collapse I have always suspected controlled demolition. All the attempted explanations to the contrary from the government and such private conspiracy busters as the Popular Mechanics report seem to melt into irrelevance in the face of my own eye witness viewing (through TV) of the initial events, followed by increasing mountains of corroborating evidence to my own assessment of expert testimony of numerous professionals in the field of science and engineering.

On 9/11 I came home from work just in time to see building 7 come down. I was confused why this would happen but right away the media said it was due to the damage from the towers and uncontrolled fires all day long so I was OK with that and even forgot about building 7 for two years. A friend of mine borrowed me a 9/11 d.v.d. which made me revisit building 7 without the shock factor this time and to me the evidence points to a controlled demolition. Why the 9/11 commission report says nothing about building 7 at all is beyond me. We need a real investigation into 9/11 front to back.

I believe that it is unconstitutional to in any way restrict or discard hard evidence regarding the events of 9/11 or of any other un-resolved/explained event that occurs in this or any country. By allowing this moment in history to pass un-examined, we cheat ourselves and the world from the right to live in a transparent and rational society.

I am a meditation teacher. I have worked on meditation and yoga centers i several European countries.
I was first confronted with this back in 2004. At first I rejected it. Having digested the information, the conclusion that the official story does not at all hold became inevitable. Today in October 2009 the evidence is overwhelming. And you do not have to be a rocket scientist to reach this conclusion, common sense is enough. As a meditation teacher, working with the nature of mind, it is interesting to me to note how most of us fell for the story media gave us without an ounce of reflection.
