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.

Since witnessing the events of September 11th, 2001, it has been my belief that the World Trade Center buildings came down, not the result of terrorist attacks, but the result of a controlled demolition. Many have speculated on the contributing factors to the belief that within the U.S. Government, there were dark areas responsible for the destruction beyond that of the airline hijackings. AE911Truth provides compelling evidence that these beliefs are now supported by science and experts in the field.

Sadly, I retired through ill-health at age 40. Prior to that, I worked on several major construction projects in the UK including a nuclear power station, a major estuarial bridge crossing, Portcullis House and others. I also have experience in bridge design.
I have never felt comfortable with the 'house of cards' collapse of the twin towers. In recent years I've studied work by the commendable David Ray Griffin, whose rational and calm examination of the evidence helps shine a light on the likely truth of the terrible events of that day. In keeping with the many brave professionals who have been prepared to speak out concerning their deep unease about the events of that day, and the incongruity of the official reports, I find myself unable to turn my back on this matter, despite the best efforts of the establishment who continually attempt to discredit it. Please keep on working hard to expose the truth of what really happened on that day, those behind this potentially greatest ever crime, and to bring them and their conspirators to justice in the name of those who lost their lives on the day and subsequently.

I'm a civil engineer and project manager for the FAA. I have 25 years experience building National Airspace System critical facilities, including the construction of air traffic control towers.
I have serious doubts about the cause of collapse of WTC 1 and WTC 2, as well as WTC 7. The indications are that they came down in a controlled-collapse manner, and this casts a dark shadow over the official published story. I have worked on projects involving controlled demolitions of decommissioned air traffic control towers. My opinion is that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition, contrary to the official story.

Retired from banking and finance. Rudimentary knowledge of physics but enough reasoning power to know that a fully-fueled jet aircraft could not generate a fire hot enough to mortally wound one of the twin towers, much less two.
I could not believe the collapses of the two towers as I saw them on television, but I just watched in amazement how the broadcasters were unaffected. A controlled demolition is the only was such symmetrical collapses could occur.

I am just a concerned citizen that seeks truth within our people and government. I have always thought that the scenario presented to US through our so called media services, was questionable at best!!! I am not a supporter of media sensationalism, and in this country it is rampant, and mostly misrepresented, misleading, and untruthful. I don't trust the media. Via other sources of education, honor and investigation, through honest means will I begin to believe in some rational explanation. I do however think that this smells of conspiracy, and if that is the case, then we are in way over our heads. I commend you that may take on this Goliath, and support you, but whoa, were in deep. I try to think of the complex planning alone to achieve this task, and I am humbled as to vastness and level of government that would require such an endeavor. I look forward to understanding your theories and the theories that we all come up with. It's going to be interesting. Keith

I am an electrician with IBEW Local Union #98. I've worked in construction for 10 years now. I recently worked at the new Comcast building erected in Philadelphia. I worked there for 3 years, from start to finish, and I know all about the designs of buildings to withstand fires and other catastrophes. The Comcast building was actually designed to withstand being struck by an airplane, being built with a reinforced concrete core to withstand extremely high temperatures. They called it a 911 proof or airplane proof structure, specifically designed with 911 in mind.
It's obvious that the world trade center events were planned demolition. We all need to wake up and stop being faithful slaves to a shadow government. I don't watch any mainstream media, they simply only tell us what they want us to believe! As a construction worker I know it would be physically impossible for a skyscraper to collapse on itself without a controlled demolition! Wake up America, our government is despicable, and organized the deaths of thousands of it's own people! It's time to take a stand!

I do not buy the official story of 9/11. I feel the CRIME SCENE was cleaned up too quickly and the evidence hastily done away with. Why? I also have seen numerous demolitions of buildings, and that is EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE! Considering the vast expansion of governmental powers and Impact on civil liberties because of 9/11, I feel that our country deserves a second PROPER look at the events of 9/11.

I am a 56 year old male with 2 years of college and am in the educational field providing workplace learning and performance solutions for companies and organizations. I am a guest author of numerous articles. Over the years I have become increasingly concerned at how misinformed the general public has become and by the ���Bread and Circus��� style conditions existing in America today. If there is a negative aspect to democracy it would be that it is high maintenance. It requires vigilance by its citizens over those in power.
Although I am not an engineer or architect I know it is impossible, other than through controlled demolition, for steel structured buildings to collapse into the path of greatest resistance at free fall speed. I also know through personal observation that it takes a great deal of concentrated torch heat to melt and bend steel, which was not possible in these building fires. The official government story defies engineering logic.

When 911 went down I was trading commodity futures futures online with a broker in the South Tower and lost a fair amount of money, so I have a direct emotional and financial connection. I have not stopped my own personal investigation since the incident. I truly believe that critical evidence has been withheld from the investigation. I want to know who the conspirators are and why congress, the pentagon, and the DoD are not talking about this.

I've been a hospital HVAC service journeyman technician for thirty years. Building maintenance, systems service and repair is my trade.
It is inconceivable that a few hundred gallons of jet fuel which burns at 1200F can have so weakened the structural members of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building #7 that they should collapse at free fall speed. The pancake theory defies itself because each succeeding floor falling would have been resistance to the collapse, impeding and stopping it at some finite point above street level.

I have no specific technical education other than an increasing thirst for knowledge, and the unbelievable lies, half-truths and innuendos that come from those who are supposed to represent our best interests, continue to amaze me with their belief that we, as citizens, are so blindly ignorant that we will believe anything and everything they tell us. September 11th is my daughter's birthday and so that date was already burned into my memory bank. I have researched, read & listened to almost every bit of information I can get my hands & ears on. This was the biggest criminal act ever perpetrated on the U.S. and its citizens. Those who say it would have taken hundreds (thousands ?) of conspirators to pull this off are just pi--ing into the wind.
I have watched many, many buildings come down that have been deliberately demolished and every one of them has pancaked just as the towers did. I lost a cousin to a building that was being razed next to his home when it fell onto him as he was standing in his back yard. That building came down as any building would have if it was NOT a controlled demolition. The #7 building takes a huge suspension of disbelief in order for a truly intelligent individual to think that it just fell!
