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.

Experts explaining the so called collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings were explaining the reasons for the buildings falling immediately following their collapse at freefall speed. The holes alleged to have been from aircraft were not sufficient to bring buildings 1 & 2 down, and the black smoke fires did not appear to be hot enough or fires large enough to sufficiently soften structural steel, and as well, the surviving emergency workers in very many instances reported both only small pockets of fire that could easily be put out as well as flashes and explosions just prior and during the so called collapse. I personally doubt that there were any hijackers on board and of the airliners that were said to have been hijacked. During the Vietnam war it was my job to process and insure proper identity to all deceased that were processed by the US Army Mortuary, DaNang, Vietnam. We occasionally had to handle the deceased that were killed as a result of Aircraft, and at least once that of a large Airliner. The first evidence always needed was a manifest listing all on board. I was at that time assured that the FAA required that all flights had to have the names of all on board, passengers and crew, as a matter of procedure prior to takeoff. I am sure that that requirement is still in effect. Why were the passengers not identified on the flight manifests? It is a very basic and necessary requirement that would be rigidly enforced in a more modern time as today where there is an even more crowded sky than 1968-72.

The light shed upon the events of 9/11 by Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin and others like them suggest most strongly that our government's version of the cause of what happened on that fateful day is far from the truth. Further, our government's continued refusal to satisfactorily answer questions about obvious conflicts in their version of causes and its refusal from the onset to allow a full and open investigation of these causes by an impartial and empowered body strongly suggest that certain elements in the current administration were complicit in facilitating the events of 9/11 as well as engaging in a cover-up of that complicity thereafter. Lacking a full and open investigation for cause it is highly unlikely that the truth can ever be proven.

Especially the mysteriously collapsed WTC7 is remarkable and astonishing and it is a absolutely a proof of a intended destruction of this building.

Subsequently, I managed facilities and environmental projects, programs, and a 60 -70 person office of a major consulting firm. I am currently semi-retired, working part-time from home.
I read the 911 Commission Report to confirm what I had heard: that this report did not even mention the collapse of World Trade Center Tower #7. This is true. To me, this report seems very superficial. I question the official version for the reasons of the collapse of the 3 towers because of their symmetrical collapse from non-symmetrical damage and that tower 7 collapsed at all. Tower 7 was not impacted by a plane, had non-symmetrical fires burning, and collapsed some 7 hours later.

None of the events on 9/11 could have happened the way we were told they did. In the 40s a b-25 bomber crashed into the empire state building and did only local damage. The debris from the Twin Towers was rushed off and guarded.

First investigation did not answer questions sufficiently. There are too many questions that remain unanswered to this day, ie. Why did the BBC announce that WTC 7 was falling 20 minutes before it fell? This had NOTHING to do with time difference between the two countries. Why was NORAD told to stand down? Why were certain people told not to fly that day?

I'm an Educated person with a sound mind that can understand the facts about 9/11. I feel with all my heart and soul looking at the evidence, that the official story has a lot of contradictions! It's either one way or the other.....we can't have It both ways!
Building 7 I think the smoking gun for conspiracy the way It came down! All the witness testimony's around the building's heard and gave statement that they heard loud explosion's that they believe were bombs located in the buildings. Rodriquez gave testimony that he heard a loud explosion in the basement seconds before the plane hit on the top!

anyone that looks at the collapse of these buildings with an open mind can come to no other conclusion except that these buildings were brought down using controlled explosives. When building 7 fell, it was the 3rd steel framed building ever to collapse due to fire, the other two, were WTC 1 and WTC 2. We need an independent investigation, WITH SUBPOENA POWERS, and we need it now.

I am an industrial Designer and have spent the last 10 years working with various building materials and construction methods. building various models and prototypes.
I have reviewed every shred of evidence I can find for both theories. I can promise you that if we could build one of the twin towers and crash a plane into there is no way there it would have total collapse in the fashion that the twin towers did even if we could it wouldn't have recreated the total collapse with a 1,000,000 attempts. I still don't think anyone has been given a valid reason for the violent and complete and total structural collapse.

A concerned citizen who believes that 9/11 was a setup to create the Department of Homeland Security which watches over Americans and tries to limit their civil liberties. It also helped advance the military-industrial complex while allowing the government to take control of Middle Eastern oil.I believe the collapses were designed to fall based on demolition. The towers were made to withstand airplane hits due to their height. Also WTC Building 7 looks like it was definitely destroyed by demolition. There is a report where it's mentioned to fall but it's still standing.

I am a 1980 graduate of Auburn University school of Veterinary Medicine. I was graduated with high honors and have owned my own practice since 1984.
Even as one not trained in architecture or engineering, it is fairly self evident that a building that collapsed due to being struck by a large object ( airplane ) then subsequently collapsing in such a perfect fashion would be a near impossibility . In addition, it is my understanding that the building supervisor had stated that these buildings were slated for demolition and that this statement has never been recanted.

I have been in the construction industry as an electrician for 14 years. After watching 'Blueprint for Truth' on YouTube and my own experience, I KNOW there is something being hidden by our 'government'.
Jet fuel would never burn hot enough to create the molten metal shown on several videos. Any building that falls at free fall speed, with evidence of concrete vaporization, and no pancaking of floors was obviously demolished. The everyday 'Joe Q. Public' lacks basic problem solving skills and common sense to see the obvious. They are very happy to watch TV news and eat up every word...

i am a former teacher and retired legal secretary. I do not for one moment believe the official story of what happened on 9-11 and want America to become the democracy it was supposed to be.
It is OBVIOUS that the collapse was achieved by a series of detonations, and did NOT result from the buildings being hit by a plane, with the exception of the Pentagon which was clearly hit by a missile--not a plane. I want to know who ordered this and who carried it out, for what reason, as well as the reason the American people were deliberately deceived about it and have even now been denied a legitimate investigation of what happened, who was involved, and what their motives were for murdering all of these people and blaming their deaths on others...

No engineering or architectural background, just a well-informed and concerned citizen.
There is far too much information available that raises many grave questions about the truth of what transpired on 9/11/01 in New York City. That most of that vital information should be ignored by the 911 Commission should alert one to the veils of deception which surround these events and the overwhelming stench of cover-up. The data that has been released by Dr. Steven Jones and others by means of scientifically sound research deserves to be considered by a body of individuals who hold the power of prosecution. Also, the education of the American people as to these scientific findings is crucial to the survival of any semblance of a government of the People, by the People, and for the People.
