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.

The official story of the 9/11 attack and collapse simply does not comport with what my own eyes have seen. The evidence does not support the official story. A crime has been committed and, in the name of Justice, it is past time for an independent investigation of the crime.

I worked with a contractor Weston, whom had a contract with the EPA. I was at ground zero taking air samples 2 days after 9/11/01, and was up there for 3 months working out of the EPA trailer they had on site. I quit that company in November because I couldn't take it anymore, being exposed to the disaster and the smell. Ever since my time up there I had Always suspected something was wrong, there was nobody collecting samples, taking evidence. For two weeks one of the plane engines was sitting on the ground, and nobody cared. A coworker of mine actually took a part off the engine. And the fact that the fire burning under the ground was more than 3000 degrees never made any sense to me. I used to ask myself why is that fire burning so hot? After years and years of research I have concluded that there was no way two planes could have brought down three buildings at free fall speed straight down into there own footprint. I mean, it's just insane if you think about it, and I think the most maddening thing for me is how everybody bought it. Anyway I would be more than happy to sign your petition, and I thank you for taking the time to try do get some people together to try to do something to put some closure to this insane country we live in. And if there is anything I can do to help, man please give me a call.

I fail to understand how the buildings could collapse in the pancake fashion with such precision simply from the structural integrity of the steel of the upper floors being compromised. I have witnessed several intentional controlled collapses that weren't as precise and straightforward as the WTC collapses seemed to be.

I am a retired steelworker who knows the properties of steel and what is takes to compromise its strength. It is utterly foolish to believe that short term fires could heat 4 thick massive beams to this extent, even if they had no fire proofing !
None of the buildings were hit squarely, yet they all collapsed symmetrically! In order to do this, their massive interior columns had to be taken out first!

i was very young when the trade centers fell (7th grade). i had no idea. 5 years later i was introduced to some material that sparked my own critical thinking skills and keen logic. To start, there was no sufficient government explanation for the destruction of tower seven, and this large event was Brushed under the rug by the media and public information sources. furthermore, I completely understand the laws and calculations of basic physics when I show that a building cannot fall at free-fall-speeds (as if through air=negligible friction+resistance) when it falls through itself (concrete&steel through concrete&steel=considerable friction and resistance). it has been documented that one tower fell in 9.+ seconds and the other in 10-11 seconds. based on their height and gravity speed of 9.8m/s squared, these buildings fell completely to the ground through their own solid structure in the time it would take a ball dropped from the top of the tower to fall through air. there is a theory: pancake exponential increase theory, proposed by some to try to explain this anomaly but even the conclusions of this theory fall short, clearly calculating that the buildings would take more than a minute to pancake through itself floor to floor. i understand this reality is not possible without the use of demolitions experts, planning, secretive infiltration of building security, steel melting explosives (thermite) and have seen physical evidence to confirm this conclusion. it is therefore a likely reality that there was insider knowledge and advanced planning of these attacks, especially when considering the cost and low-availability of thermite-explosives. This implicates elite-status corporations, government and military parties, with accesses to resources and funds. with this understanding, the whole frame of September 11th attacks has changed considerably from the conventional media portrayed view of Islam extremist motivated plane hijackings, to an inside job, expertly-executed, pre-planned military-grade series of demolitions. i am in no place to implicate which government, which corporation, or which military took part in these events. i can only reflect that in the light of the evidence, the participation of these privileged and powerful parties is necessary for this event to have passed. i am in rational and commonly understood limits to accordingly use the statement 9/11 was an inside job, without any hesitation.

I have a high school education. I am from Canada. I was in New York City staying at the Marriott Financial Center Hotel September 1st to the 10th, 2001 with my late husband and children. For a few days before 9/11, my husband, who was from the USA, kept pointing out personnel within our hotel and around the area as being FEMA. We went into the World Trade Center multiple times a day and he kept wondering why there were so many around the area, and he noticed geared up activity. I kept wondering what he was talking about when we were walking around and he would be pointing out people and extra activity. Being from Canada I wasn't familiar with the uniforms or agencies.
9/11 was an inside job. My initial feeling was it was an inside job. We had crossed the Canadian Border about 4 or 5 am on 9/11. We were sleeping in Kahnawake when we were awoken with the news about the towers. My first words to our host were 'they did it themselves.' My late husband Splitting the Sky, John Boncore Hill, spoke that very evening at McGill University and during his talk he outright stated that it looked like an inside job. Right from the outset he became a tireless advocate of the 9/11 truth movement. March 17, 2009 he was arrested for trying to arrest George Bush in Calgary, Canada for war crimes and crimes against humanity. After a trial the judge ordered Splitting the Sky to make a $1,000 donation to a charity of his choice and pay a $50 victim fine surcharge as conditions of his probation. Splitting the Sky made his $1000 donation to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. Love, light and prayers for all those who lost loved ones, or are having health issues, all those touched in any way from 9/11.

Between 1977 and 2006, I was successively the founder and dean of a private high school and the first Dutch college offering a humanities program. My primary goal was to offer young people an education in history, philosophy (ethics, not religion), psychology and sociology, so that they would, ideally, become critical, thoughtful citizens dedicated to creating a fair and equitable world.
There are several reasons, for me, for not believing that 9/11 was the work of foreign terrorists: warnings being ignored by the White House, the government's reaction to the first reports of the attacks, no serious investigation, no evidence of the airplanes supposedly involved, scientific debunking of the effects of airplane fuel, etc.

I have no technical qualifications - I describe myself as simply a concerned human being who hates to see there being one law for the rich and powerful and one law for the rest of us.
Like many people I believed the official version of events to start with as it seemed just too incredible and impossible for there to have been a conspiracy involving untold persons in positions of authority. However, particularly since the alleged terrorist attacks in my own country on 7th July 2005, I have changed my mind. The combination of events on 11th September, not just the obvious (even to a non-professional like me) prepared demolition of the three WTC buildings, but also the sheer nonsense of the official story relating to the 3rd and 4th planes convinces me that there were, and still are, far more sinister forces at work.

If the laws of physics have been changed......nobody I know was told, including myself. The body of evidence is so stunning and undeniable, that it does not take a person degreed in engineering to see the truth, like me. There is not one coincidence, not two or even three. It's full of coincidences and deception of what really happened. The day of 9-11 and the days leading up to it and after demand a full, complete and independent investigation. Those that lost their lives on that day deserve it their voices to be heard from each and every one of us!

I was born in Randolph County Indiana. I graduated from high school in 1970. Through the Manpower And Development Training Project i obtained certification in Basic Design Engineering in 1971. I received an associate degree in Machine Tool Technology in 1976. I worked in the Metal Stamping industry for most of my life. I am currently self employed as a Design Engineer using Autocad.
After viewing the evidence that has come out over the years it is obvious that the three World Trade Center buildings were taken down by controlled demolition. Because of the physics involved it would be impossible for the buildings to go down ib free-fall landing in their own footprint by collision from jet airplanes. Building 7 wasn't hit by anything but yet it fell in a similar fashion to the other two towers.

Seeking the truth of why I lost 6 friends in this senseless tragic event.
The explanations provided to the American public made no sense. They were obviously lies and we deserve to know what really happened on that day. Too many have went about their lives without questions about what really happened on that day. It is time the truth came out and the real culprits were exposed in this senseless event. There needs to be justice for all of those who died. And we have a right to know what really happened and who is responsible for the day which forever changed all of our lives whether we realize it or not.
