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.

I'm appalled to see what the truth behind the staged event of 9/11 is. I've been researching the event for about 8-10 months now, and all I can say that you have all the support you need from this part of the world. I live in India - and I can't promise big things, but I do pledge to spread the word among all the people who I think can make a difference.
Never again will the world tolerate such a neglect of value of human life. I'm a human being, for God's sake - my life has value!

WATCHING THE MANY VIDEOS OF THE TOWERS COMING DOWN IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY DID NOT COLLAPSE OR FALL DOWN, BUT THEY WERE BLOWN UP. WTC 7 IS CLEARLY A CONTROLLED DEMOLITION FALLING DIRECTLY DOWN IN ITS OWN FOOTPRINT. 911 WAS THE CRIME OF THE 21ST CENTURY, A CRIME NOT INVESTIGATED WITH A CRIME SCENE THAT WAS QUICKLY DESTROYED. THE EVENT HAS BEEN USED TO JUSTIFY WAR IN AFGANISTAN AND IRAQ AND THE GUTTING OF CONSTITUTIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS IN AMERICA.

I'm neither an architect nor an engineer. But when one sees the demise of the three skyscrapers , it's obvious that they fell from the same stimulus, because their collapses look identical. If burning jet fuel brought the Twin Towers down, then how to we explain the identical collapse of a building that wasn't struck by an airplane? The answer is...we cannot.

Methods used for analysis include optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and calorimetry. They witnessed and photographed triggered micro-explosions from the nanothermite fragments. These microexplosions produced the same heat and force output as laboratory nanothermite. The dust was sampled from four different locations soon after the collapses. One sample was collected about ten minutes after the collapses of WTC buidlings 1 & 2. All dust samples produced essentially the same findings. The unreacted explosive fragments can clearly be seen under low-power magnification, as photographs from the paper illustrate. This type of explosive is apparently untraceable, unlike most kinds of demolition materials. Eight different authors from universities and organizations around the world including Denmark, Utah, Indiana, Australia, Berkeley, Dallas contributed to this paper. This kind of science cannot be fudged. After reading this I became convinced that the reason for the clear and undeniable presence of explosive residue in the dust should be thoroughly re-investigated, espcecially since the NIST & FEMA reports did not even look for or mention these findings.

I am an Electrical Engineer with a strong background in automation and have additional skills integrated into my personality such as construction of buildings, structural analysis, mechanical integration of mechanics and structures, and understanding of complex structures and mechanics and their behavior under normal or chaotic circumstances.
There has been never a nail or chisel existed in the world we live, which got pulverized because a hammer or slash hammer hit them into head. The chisels have been hit billions of times onto their head with slash hammers during the 18th century while our railroad system was build, where back then the steel was not that advanced as in the twin towers and they got hit and hit and hit and never got any of them pulverized. How come on 911 two steel structures, each sticking out like a huge chisel into the air get hammered once on the side and these 48 chisels shaped like two letters of H molten on two legs together and having a with of 6 inch, get to be pulverized onto their ground. That is not possible without explosives embedded into the sections of the huge chisels. In addition if you look at the videos, evidence captured on that day, you would be very soon aware that the buildings were not collapsing, rather they were exploding in all directions and pulverized extremely similar to material or matter that had been exposed to explosives. It is time for us to open an independent investigation into 911 and bring everything into day light; instead insisting that it was orchestrated by terrorist. If 911 is really orchestrated by terrorists than there shall be nothing to be scared of an independent investigation. Thank you.

If one knows anything about structural engineering and has seen a number of controlled demolition videos, including charge placement, it is just plain obvious that WTC 7 is a controlled demolition. If a small lobby fire can bring down a steel frame structure so easily, no buildings are safe. But history tells us otherwise. That steel frame structured do not collapse because of fire. So the WTC collapses are either 1) controlled demolition or 2) 3 miracles (never to be repeated).

I have no knowledge that is any use to have a legitimate ground in stating that I believe these attacks to have been carried out by our very own government .. but what I do know is that there have been scare tactics used in the starting of every significant war our country has ever known ... Why the growth and personal greed of a small percentage of humans that make up our country I just want truth I want others to have truth and I want retrobution for the taking of thousands of innocent humans that lost their lives for the personal gain and greed of a monster thats all.
In order for us to truly understand and believe in what our country as a union of human beings is striving for in a war continued through two generations of members of the bush family, we have to look at the facts. We need to look at who is to blame and if we are to believe a foreign regime was responsible for the attacks against 9/11 then what was their motivation what did they gain? Well I don't know about others but I know that to carry out a plan as devastating to the pride of millions and having knowledge of what their consequences would have been why do it without attaining any person gain I might think twice. I would just like for all of these Americans who I believe to be nothing more than puppets to open their eyes and let the rest of us shed some light

A huge concern that our government would do such a thing, destroying thousands of peoples lives and blame it on someone our politicians have been know to deal with. Very sad. Look at WTC7, I am not an architect but that building was brought down, even an elementary school student would see that.

I have studied the 9/11 attacks at length and will continue to do so as more information comes to light. In doing so I have been able to introduce information to many professors, students, family, and others in the community.
The near free-fall speed of WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 combined with other such oddities including evidence of squibs, foreknowledge of collapse, pulverized concrete, witness testimony regarding explosions, and other unexplainable anomalies lead me to believe that impacting jetliners certainly could not account for the global collapses witnessed that day.

I'm just an average tradesman from Australia who loves his music and the idea of a choice of life, this clearly hasn't happened in the case of 9/11.
This evidence is clearly un-deniable, people will be shocked and will not want to believe it, but you must and you must embrace it. Truly once in our lives a human being gets the chance to stand up and feel like they really matter in this over expanded world. Stand up and be counted, let a voice be heard and carried. I'm so grateful that in this instance it hasn't been my government lying and covering up the truth.

I have been studying the events of 9/11 for over a year now. I also been studying other false-flag events to get an idea on how they are carried out. I was studying at UNI Intelligent Systems and Japanese, however I reached a stage when I could not afford to carry on studying. I now study politics in my spare time with the hope of one day being able to go back to UNI to study political sciences.
The building sudden collapse was a shock. They clearly fall straight down into the path of most resistance in about 10-12 seconds. It would take a ball 9.22 seconds to reach the ground if it was dropped from the top of the twin towers. That isn't taking into account the air resistance. There are multiple reports of explosions throughout the buildings from the moment the planes struck the towers. Even the fire chief was under the impression that there were devices in the building.

My hope is to see an awakening to the cover-up of what really happened on 9/11/2001 and the shameless exploitation of that tragedy to launch a global war on terror, and for the realization that all mankind has been duped to grow into a peaceful return to free society.
Regardless of the extent of damage of the areas of the twin towers hit by planes, the remaining structure was completely intact. The obliteration of the entire structure is impossible. Building 7's omission from the commission's report is unacceptable.

The Bush administration follows realist theory, and the sole concern of realists is obtaining as much power as possible. If 9/11 was an inside job, it was an attempt to gain power... and initially, it worked. He and his administration have been granted license to act in international affairs in ways that would have never been condoned had the U.S. not experienced the tragedy of 9/11. In international law and the U.N. charter, it states that a country can only go to war if it is an act of self-defense or an issue of international security. Bush's war on terror is proclaimed to be in both self-defense and to protect international security now threatened by terrorists. The question is now: why invade the Middle East? For oil? It is certainly not for democracy... Bush is a republican against social welfare programs in his own country, and yet he is worried about the livelihoods of 3rd world Iraqi citizens? I don't buy it. 9/11 needs to be re-examined, and if our government was responsible for killing thousands of its own citizens, then there needs to be retribution.

From the first time I saw the twin towers fall on TV I was very suspect about the collapses due to the symmetry and speed of the falls, both being nearly identical. After reviewing Richard Gage's and Steven Jones' materials and presentations it seems quite clear what occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.

I'm a teaching student from Sweden, who stumbled upon all this evidence by chance and now feel obligated to spread it out of respect for the American people.
I saw a dust and sample analysis (on youtube) by a debunker who claimed it contradicted Dr. Jones's analysis (as well as the one in Blueprint then), that he claimed disproved thermate. The evidence in Blueprint is stronger, but it is always important to comment the false claims in order to make your own evidence stronger. So that might be an idea.

I'm a self supporting adult student who's in the midst of retraining efforts after raising children and then a job loss. I plan to do my persuasive speech (speech class) on subject: The purpose of my speech is to persuade the audience that the destruction of the World Trade Center towers was an inside job for which the US Government (or key members thereof) are responsible and that my audience, as citizens, should support efforts of thousands of architects, physicists, and engineers who are demanding a truly independent investigation with full subpoena power, by signing the petition. My grown children and I are increasingly informed via Alex Jones' websites, initially. From there our understanding and determination to stand up and speak the truth is only growing. I hope my speech makes a difference for your purposes.
I am enraged at the greed, lack of conscience and traitorous murder that has been committed by my own government and all those elites who claimed to be upholding freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. My father's friend, Tom Burnett Jr. was one of the brave civilians who attempted to intervene Flight 93 mission. He lost his life.

After viewing expert opinion of many credited professionals stating that the building collapses could not have occurred in the manner stated in the official report and viewing video comparison with confirmed controlled demolition, it seems to me that these WTC building collapses require more investigation with a thorough look towards evidence of controlled demolition.

Either of the towers top sections would with high probability have canted laterally sustaining damage to the side of the tower as it fell, but not total collapse. One tower collapsing ' possible, both ' not likely at all. The WTC7 collapse only plays us for fools. Between paradoxical physics, the guarded removal of evidence and all the other discrepancies; there is no doubt in my mind that cover up is involved. The investigations should have been fully transparent and accurate if no American was involved. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me thrice, shame on you.

I studied and excelled in Physics, Chemistry and Math in school, but dropped out to follow a dream of old style boat building that was really a once in a life time chance that brought me to Europe in 1987. I returned after a couple of years to take up custom home building again. In 1993 I separated from my Italian wife that I met in Naples, and took up beekeeping. Now I have my own business extracting bee nests alive from peoples homes. I bought my first house in June 2001, right about the time that Dick Cheney was changing the Hijack Response Protocol in anticipation of his dream child 9/11. I bought a citrus farm here in California a couple of years ago and now grow oranges for Sunkist.
I'm certainly smart enough to fully understand technical data provided by the incredible collection of concerned citizens that have dedicated so much time and effort into this cause. I am thoroughly convinced by the overwhelming evidence that explosives were pre-planted in all of the buildings that collapsed that tragic day, most likely during the unprecedented security drill evacuations that took place just days before 9/11. Al Qaeda could not possibly have done this.

As a lay-person, I have served on quasi-judicial boards in Washington State.
From the very first, I did not understand why these buildings came down. From the very first, it looked to me (as a lay-person) like controlled demolition. I agree with Dan Rather's early observation about the appearance of controlled demolition. And I am deeply troubled by the lack of proper investigation, especially investigation of the very strange collapse of Building Seven.

There has been far too much deceit by our federal government over the course of its history. From the creation of the federal reserve system to the intimidation and manipulation of the people to pay taxes on their wages. Hopefully the horrific events that occurred to those victims on 9/11 will be the last straw. Hopefully these crimes against the people by the federal government will give a great majority of American citizens a reason to rise up and demand that our voices be heard and our questions be answered. We as a people have been manipulated for far too long. Our government committed these crimes against its people on 9/11 and they need to be held accountable!!

Much of what we saw on September 11, 2001 we have seen before. Take away what we saw from a technical standpoint, the manipulation of the public reaction to the entire day's events seemed too choreographed. Slip ups were made, however: President Bush telling everyone how devastated he felt when the first plane hit the WTC; blame being assigned to Saddam Hussein almost immediately, the news media not questioning whether any official statements were accurate. Too many questions and a government stubbornly unwilling to ask them.

Too much evidence against the official story, obvious cover ups and lies, loads of evidence to support the theory of this event being an inside job performed by our own government and/or portions of it.

I was born, raised and continue to live in Brooklyn, New York. I'm 54 and (long ago) studied music and literature at the Manhattan School of Music and New York University, respectively, but didn't earn a degree. Music and literature are my passions; but, since artistic pursuits aren't always enough to pay the bills, insurance is my reluctant profession. I'm currently writing a novel, somewhat fictionally based on my growing up in Brooklyn; I host a blog called The Electric Egg Cream at http://electriceggcream.com
A person would not only have to suspend but utterly destroy the laws of physics, gravity, reason and pure common sense to believe that 9/11 was anything other than an inside job; a cold-blooded act of murder and deception, unprecedented in a free country. I'm not a scientist, but that shouldn't disqualify me from perceiving that fire is hot and ice is cold and that 2+2=4. What I saw and what the media told me in regard to September 11, 2001 went against every criteria of perception I ever used to understand reality.

I have no technical experience whatsoever, but it is obvious even to a layman such as myself to see that 9/11 was a farce orchestrated by the Cheney/Bush administration and needs to be investigated.

These buildings were imploded to further the NWO. The USA is the most powerful military in the world, how can a thinking person really believe that the Pentagon, the most protected building in the world was impacted by a commercial jet (a missile actually struck the Pentagon).

Although I am not an architect or engineer i have a good sense of physics and what is and is not possible with both structures and aviation. I have been an avid hang gliding enthusiast for over 36 years. I built my first hang glider when I was only thirteen and have gone on to win several large competitions. At age fifty, I still fly three or four times a week. Most of my buddies are licensed pilots and we all agree the manuever pulled off by Hanni Hanjour into the pentagon makes him almost superman. We just don't buy it. I pulled a high speed stall trying to come out of a straight down dive in my hang glider one time and was lucky to live through it. I have also worked as an airframe mechanic in several hang gliding shops around the country. Been actively involved as a test pilot in the designing of several new models of hang gliders, and performed the structural load tests required for hang gliders by the HGMA (hang glider manufacturers association) so lets say I am an unlicensed pilot/engineer type guy.
I attended Richard Gage's presentation up at the University of Washington in march of 2008 with two of my favorite cousins. The evidence for controlled demolition of building number seven and the twin towers was undeniable. It defied the laws of physics for the destruction of these building to be anything BUT modern demolition. A Scientist buddy I fly hang gliders with, Dan Tyler, agrees with Richard Gages presentation as well. For any investigation to accept the improbable hypothesis of destruction by fire while all the clear evidence indicates controlled demolition just doesn't make any sense. I fully support a new and honest investigation of the 9/11.

I am currently a student enrolled at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy New York. I am in my junior year here. I began as a civil engineer, but have switched to Industrial and Management Engineering. I have taken many courses in dynamics, strength of materials, and other mechanical and civil courses.
I have read many different opinions on what happened the day of 9/11. The most controversial and convincing account would be the video, Zeitgeist. This movie along with many others found on YouTube allowed me to go more into depth of what really happened, and how there is a great lack of information in the 9/11 Commission Report.
