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.

My employers have included Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, GE Aircraft Engines, Teledyne CAE, Raytheon, USNavy Civil Service, Detroit Diesel Allison, Cummins Engine Company, and Hillenbrand Inc. As a Reliability and Quality Engineer for over 30 years, I was required to consider all of the facts associated with any engineering failure. Disciplines that required my constant awareness are design integrity, manufacturing defects, environmental exposure, life limiting factors, etc.
I was acutely aware of Engineering Cost Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Analysis, with many post graduate courses in these disciplines. My career was heavily biased toward statistical analysis and Warranty Cost Forecasting, requiring me to consider all possibilities, emphasizing the likelihood that the less likely events should be considered less heavily. Perhaps, this is why I was extremely reluctant to even consider the possibility that 9/11 could have been a staged event. What is the chance that our own government could pull that off and get away with it? I pondered. When I was confronted with the facts, and I considered the reality that the temperatures of jet fuel combustion do not support the suggested failure modes posed by the government's official report, I was forced into a paradigm shift. This reality has changed my entire perspective on the groups that I had previously dismissed as emotional, uneducated fools. I was wrong and I am grateful to the 9/11 Truthers for holding me accountable for the Truth! Now, I too am a 9/11 Truther. The facts about the collapse of three WTC buildings on 9/11/2001 just do not support the theory posed by the PBS Report, or the US Government's publication. There must be further explanation to satisfy my hunger for the truth about the horrible realities of the WTC and Pentagon murders. As an engineer, as a patriot, as citizen of the United States of America, I demand that the government which is accountable to its citizens appoint an independent commission to investigate and report on the Truth of 9/11/2001.

Occupation: Natural History Of The Humanzee
Field: Natural History of the Humanzee When species Homo is studied exactly as one might study nematodes, for example, we look significantly different. Removing human removes the mask that prevents us from seeing ourselves in context with the rest of physical reality and seeing our 'true' characteristics. War, as an example, is an 'inherent' behavior, universal in all human identity groups yet we still look for the 'reasons' for war in our social structures and not in ourselves which is where it resides.
There is enough unexplained evidence just in the official version to ask for another investigation. When one adds in all of the publicly available additional credible evidence, the official version clearly becomes a fabrication and obfuscation. The fate of Building Seven, alone, shouts that something other than these aircraft were responsible for the destruction of 9/11. Also, many people other than al Bogieman had ample reason, motivation, and the means and opportunity to run a 'false flag' here. The United States Government gave up any credibility it might have had generations ago. The bushcabal never had any credibility. Investigate now!

The official version never made sense to me. I anticipated that explosives would have been required just by hearing a description of the collapse on 9/11/2001. Quick calculations I made based on conservation of momentum trying to convince people the official explanation was false gave a 120 second collapse time for a gravitational collapse & 35mph to 60 mph lateral mass ejections which are not possible if only gravity driven. Newton's 3rd Law required the complete destruction of the falling top of the towers that should have left 60 stories of intact buildings standing after a gravitational collapse ended. Energy available from a gravitational collapse was insufficient to explain all features of the actual collapse. Core columns could be seen disintegrating in sections after the collapses ended. Steel frame buildings, by design and properties of materials, could not fail from oxygen-starved hydrocarbon fires. The buildings were designed to withstand airplane collisions of the 757/767 class and had withstood natural forces far greater over the life of the buildings. In short, I'm an engineer and understand the laws of physics and the official explanation violated at least 1/2 dozen of them.

I have attained no technical certification in any field. I am an artist, environmental activist and US citizen who would like the truth of the events of 911 to be investigated by a credible independent 3rd party and published for all to see.
I have been in many redwood forests where trees that were either the victims of fire, lightning strikes or fungus lie on their sides. The towers which were comparable to trees in stature came straight down causing no damage to surrounding structures. I find this to be highly improbable if the cause of their fall was the impact of the plane or fire as we have been told. The collapse of the towers was not natural.

Too many inconsistencies in the official story. Hijackers are alive. What was contained in building 7 not hit by plane, raises serious questions. The media coverage that day on all networks on a second and third glance looks really odd. The list goes on ever increasing facets arise.

I recently attended the Baptist Peacemakers of North America conference at Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY and viewed the DVD. I purchased it and reviewed it today. I am a member of the Baptist Peacemakers of RI where we meet bi-monthly. I am a retired elementary school teacher.
Having viewed the DVD 9/11 Blueprint for Truth, I am convinced that a further investigation is needed. The theory of demolition vs. fire seems plausible. Why would the steel girders have melted?

There is sufficient (overwhelming) evidence that warrants a new investigation into the verifiable cause of the events of 9/11/2001. Until the truth is told about this obvious massive coverup, the Federal government along with its collaborators, especially the Congress and Senate, various intelligence agencies, and investigative media entities, is in my estimation a farce. Most of the rest of the world knows this. The leadership of this nation both public and private is a disgrace, to put it mildly. Thank you AE 911 Truth for all you have done. You are a bright light in a very dark America.

Spent 24 years working at the Montreal Gazette, 8 years externally and 14 in the circulation department, when Canwest closed our department to have it centralized in Winnipeg two years ago. Have since followed my passion of astrology and been self-employed, selling astrological products such as birthday cards and hand made jewelry. Am currently working on teaching an astrology class for beginners and looking to expand the reach of Astrology Montreal.
The first alarm bells went off for me when I watched the documentary Zeitgeist, which provided an attempt at a why. What followed were two years of researching the how and trying to sort out the information. A & E 911 Truth (along with globalresearch.ca) was invaluable in that respect. Nothing about the official theory makes sense - not the way the towers fell uncharacteristically and like none other, ever, in history; not the fact that it took years to investigate (when it only took 9 days to look into the Katrina disaster); not the fact that the 911 Commission ignored a full third of the evidence (WTC 7); not the fact that the physical evidence was hauled off to China at 800 truckloads per day illegally, and certainly not the fact that the implosion of WTC 7 was announced on CNN and the BBC 20 minutes prior to actually coming down. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

I am a forty year old former teacher now working in marketing as a copywriter, graphic designer, and creative manager. I've been interested in the controversy surrounding the 9/11 tragedy since March of 2002 and have spent countless hours of my spare time researching it and encouraging other to do so. Other than my own small business I have no official affiliation to any group or political party whatsoever. I am a moderate but progressive political realist.
I believe the structural collapses of these buildings should be investigated purely on the basis of my own reasoning and reading. I have no technical expertise in the field other than a layman's interest in physics and 6 years of experience in interior systems construction that paid my way through University. I subscribe to no conspiracy theories whatsoever. I simply want to see a scientific investigation of this terrible tragedy and believe the conclusions from such an investigation themselves will show whether or not their has been a conspiracy beyond that proposed by the US government.

I am a 57 yr-old salesman - no AE qualifications - but possess a modicum of common-sense, have studied the WTC attacks, and am convinced ( thanks to experts like yourselves) that the official version is a lie. I am married with 2 children.
At first, like most people, I swallowed the official li(n)e, but having studied other events e.g. Kennedy assassination, in detail, felt something was amiss -- then saw Loose Change, 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions dvd -- that was it for me. A small point -- I was particularly struck with the heart-rending radio call from Fire Chief Orio Palmer in the tower just before it collapsed , where-in he said the fires could be handled with 2 lines ( 2 hoses?) and I thought that the perpetrators would likely be listening to emergency dispatches -- I figured that if they thought the fires were doused then their cover would be blown, and maybe that was why they decided to demolish shortly after - just speculating

What i have learned in my engineering studies suggest that the truth about the towers has not yet been told. It simply is not possible that the towers fell due to the given reasons.
I have read about a missile on the second plane that was launched just before the plane hit the tower. Also evidence pointing toward controlled demolition charges exploding are around. I want to see what strong (scientific) evidence there is to support these claims?

It is a whole bunch of bull shit. Right when I saw it happen I thought to myself George Bush did it. It just came to me. I was in grade 9 at the time and every time I see it and watch it, it is more clear, that this was controlled. One skyscraper just does not crumble like this.
