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.

Always thought there was something fishy about this. If there is nothing to hide, then why are they hiding everything? Originally from Maine, I grew up in a somewhat conservative family and when I could vote for the first time I voted for Nixon. History has shown that I made a massive mistake and feel I owe George McGovern an apology for believing Nixon's lies about him, especially after reading about McGovern's WWII bomber pilot exploits in Stephen Ambrose's excellent book 'The Wild Blue'. While discussing politics with a conservative friend, he asked me how my political views could change from being conservative to Liberal. My response was I got an education. That's what we need here. We need to learn the truth, educate people, and take steps to ensure this never happens again. Remember The Maine!

Science is not conspiracy theory, it is just science. Let us open our mind to it and see where it leads. As a former professional wrestler once said, 'gravity can't be faked', nor can it be subverted. Something is wrong here and it is easily visible. The NIST report is demonstrably incorrect. The fact they refuse to release all their data and workings is the most unscientific stance imaginable. It simply must be challenged.

As a working crew member on a Boeing 777, I was to fly San Francisco-Miami on the morning of Sept 11, 2001 and I demand to know the truth! My life has been severely changed, forever, since that fateful morning. I travel the world constantly and witness, firsthand, the devastating effects of 9-11 on all of our civil lifestyle and liberties. I agree with Benjamin Franklin, 'They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.'
I demand my government reopens and investigates ALL evidence and ALL events surrounding 9-11.

Born and raised in Denmark. Having studied at the Architecture School at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen Denmark 1992 - 2001, I received obligatory lessons in Statics.
Seeing videos of 'Building seven' falling 'free fall' straight down I began to question the official explanation. Controlled demolition comes to my mind. Free fall only occurs if there is no support. WTC building 7`s entire upper half is observed to free fall several floors. I doubt NIST's explanation that simple fires caused a simultaneous collapse of all the static structures and to make the observed building collapse possible. Repeatedly claims of finding nanothermite in the debris could explain some ... I doubt NIST's`explanation on the cause of the WTC 1 and 2 collapses.

I am a student of Architectural History. This large number of professional architects and engineers that believe there is more to the story behind 9-11, convince me that we need to at least gather a new committee to study what evidence still exists.
I feel that there is clearly a concern for truth, that needs to be investigated.

I seriously believe that further investigation of the case of the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 is warranted. Building 7 was pulled. I do not believe that there ever was sufficient inquiry into these losses and that we owe it to both the victims and families of all those who have lost their lives, in addition to the cause of Liberty to insure that a full and conclusive investigation is conducted.

God willing and the creek don't rise. And I'm an atheist.
I've never believed the conventional wisdom regarding the collapses right from originally seeing them on live TV. The angle cuts on the beams is evidence that should scream out that more was going on. After watching the film how can anyone not have at least a compelling doubt and desire for a clearer, truer explanation?

I don't see buildings collapsing, I see buildings being pulverized by some explosive force, turned into rubble in midair, from top to bottom, completely destroyed before they reached the groundin incredible swiftness. An awesome display of destruction, possible only with expertise.

The attacks on America were horrific enough, but to see the Twin Towers collapse was even worse. I watched it and then had to explain to my special education students what happened (although they had not been in the room at the time, they heard the adults talking and saw the reactions on their way back to class), why (which I still can't answer), and will it happen again. No child should have to witness that, especially after they went through the attack on the Murrah Bldg in OKC! A complete and thorough investigation, without any more cover-ups, is needed. 9 years is too long to wait.

Artist, writer. I had recurring nightmares about the towers collapsing for years after 9-11. I made a lot of artwork, channeling my anger into it, to work that demon out of my head. It took a long time, but it worked. I would like to see each and every member of the Bush administration hanged at Ground Zero.
The 'official story' is a lie. I never believed it. I still don't. I've heard just about every idiotic excuse (for the towers collapsing) from people who used to be friends. I no longer associate with people who do not see what's coming down the road. We were all told what we saw on TV. I didn't listen. I know what I saw: I saw buildings exploding. I also never believed the 'box cutter terrorist' theory.

I am no architect, or scientist, but I would like a thorough investigation of the 9/11 collapse. If there was a demolition, I want the truth and facts behind it. I just hope to god this isn't true that there was a demolition with thousands of people involved.
I have watched many videos of building collapses. Just by physical evidence, I have reason to believe it is a demolition.

I am not an architect/engineer, but I could see with mine own layman eyes that the collapse of all three towers was due to some form of controlled demolition. That much to so many of us is obvious. It is the ongoing massive government and media cover up, the pretense for a global war on terror that disturbs me most. What are the deadly implications for such well coordinated and sinister control?

The collapse of the towers appears to be a controlled demolition. If it was real and the planes hit the towers from one side, then the towers would have listed to one side and fallen somewhat sideways, NOT straight down like a demolished building falls.

I doubt the official story as well as the 9/11 commission report. Several factors were omitted, deliberately or accidentally. The videos, both network and personal, do not add up and too many details are out of synch.
