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.

How hard do you have to throw an aluminum can to, not only shear a steel beam and not exit, but then to cause a delayed, controlled and complete collapse upon itself instead of toppling or sliding?

It is clear from my research into the collapses of the WTC twin towers and WTC7 that the official explanation as reported by FEMA is not the whole truth of the matter. I hope that the truth regarding these collapses, whatever it may be, comes to the public's attention. I therefore support further investigation.

WTC tower 1, 2 and 7 could not have collapsed by fires the way we saw without extra auxiliaries as ieg. explosives. NIST could not have explained the collapses at all and it has left the official explanations to private persons who have failed too. The last attempt was done by Dr. Seffen from Cambridge University (UK) (http://www.exodus2006.com/911seffen.htm), but his paper can be debunked to be false.

I graduated architecture school two years ago, and started my own practice 4 months before graduating. I follow my instinct on everything, and August 13th, 1999 changed my life forever!
After I saw the second building fall, I instinctively wanted to know where George W. Bush was and I wanted to see his face. I didn't buy the Oklahoma bombing under Clinton or the first World Trade Center bombings, and I wasn't buying this either. I felt that Bush's face and his reaction would be very telling; I was right! He was overly nonchalant, after being told, and went on to say that he saw the first plane hit while he was waiting in his limo; that footage hadn't even aired yet, to the public. And when i saw that he was told at an elementary school setting, about the plane hitting the World Trade Center, it made me suspicious. It felt like an overly innocent setting. It wouldn't be until I found out that George W. Bush, Laura Bush and General Tommy Franks went to elementary school together; that the elementary school setting felt like a creepy homage. And when I saw a video-tape of a former CIA agent, turned whistleblower, that spoke at Portland State University 1-1/2 months after 9-11, there was no turning back, in my mind, that it was an inside job. He started out by saying that while the planes may have been remotely controlled, he wasn't going to talk about that. He was going to stick to what he could prove as fact; his presentation was convincing, even without demonstrating that the planes were remotely controlled. I got cable earlier this year, and started seeing exceptional documentaries, which showed 9-11 for what it was. Now, I don't doubt that those planes were remotely controlled. Especially after hearing from those like William Rodriguez, who heard explosions in the basement floors 7 seconds before the first plane hit. 7 seconds! That's exceptional timing. And to know that citizens who saw the planes before they hit, say that they didn't recognize the planes as passenger planes, but rather, as windowless commercial-type planes. I'm so happy that architects and engineers are finally speaking out!

Metallurgy/Material Science - have worked in the welding and fabrication industry for over 25 years.
From the moment I saw the towers fall I could not believe that the impact from a plane could cause those towers to fall straight down as they did. Being involved in the metal fabrication industry it was impossible for those towers to free fall as they did with little to no resistance. It was a perfect demolition job and not a result of pancaking floors - the building fell straight down as if the structural steel frame holding it all together was completely compromised. I am shocked that it has taken this long for the truth of what actually happened to begin to surface.

The actions of the US government have serious and terrifying consequences worldwide. Therefore, as a citizen of the world I feel compelled to speak up and address the leaders of the USA. People in power all over the world will have to start acting as truly responsible human beings. President Obama, be courageous. It is time for disclosure.

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.

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.
