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 a trained scientist, in the natural sciences, with a heavy minor study in civil engineering. For half of my career I worked for a government regulatory agency, and the other half in the corporate and other private sector, and see this from BOTH perspectives.
Long before the Commission report, I had to wonder how both towers could collapse in the same mode, with one side still supporting the vertical load, whilst the other was weakened by fuel-fed fires and physical damage. Both Towers should have listed, and fallen over like a tree, and NOT come straight down, with one entire side (or two) still maintaining structural integrity.

I believe there are many lingering questions about the 9/11 report and investigation. Many of these questions are based on very basic and fundamental laws of physics. Unless a totally open and independent investigation is done and those who are accountable are brought to justice, scientists, engineers, and the public at large will keep searching for the truth until the full truth is revealed. Only then, our wounds will heal and our mind will live in peace.

I stopped watching TV on 9/11 and have since become an Internet researcher interested in truth movements and new/alternative sciences.
In my opinion the buildings were unmistakably brought down by controlled demolitions. I believe the pentagon was hit by a drone painted like a passenger plane. I believe another drone crashed where flight 93 supposedly crashed, as the crater lines to the left and right of the impact crater where there prior to the crash, which means the wings of flight 93 would have had to vanish into this air without ever hitting the ground. I would like to see an official but independent investigation into the events on 9/11 and the following still continuing cover-up.

The collapse of the WTC towers on 9/11 was a remarkable and puzzling event. Several aspects of the collapse have yet to be satisfactorily explained: the collapse was extremely rapid (near free fall); the destruction was nearly symmetrical (in spite of highly asymmetric structural damage); the collapse generated significant explosive upwelling pyroclastic-like clouds of pulverized material. The most widely cited explanation is a Progressive Collapse Theory published by Ba'ant and colleagues. This model however has significant weaknesses. It is 1D (hence ignores the WTC towers' excellent capacity for load redistribution); it is not able to explain the highly symmetrical nature of the collapse; nor can it explain the generation of clouds of pulverized concrete and other anomalous aspects of the collapse. In my opinion the hypothesis of controlled demolition needs to be seriously investigated.

The evidence is overwhelming that the trade center buildings on 9/11 collapsed from controlled demolition rather than collapsing from the aircraft that hit them. One of the buildings that collapsed wasn't even hit by an aircraft. Anyone looking at the Pentagon pictures shortly after the aircraft hit it on 9/11 would conclude from the lack of aircraft wreckage that an airliner did not hit the Pentagon.

Shortly after the collapse, a friend, who had just returned to Chicago from New York, indicated that he saw a fighter jet parked on the docks the night before the collapse. This set in motion questions in my mind and turned me into a skeptic witness of televised news reports and of stated presidential agendas.

I have recordings from at least 3 networks recorded that day. I accepted the official stories at that time without question. Only after reviewing information on the internet was I compelled to review my old tapes to confirm that I was not being pranked. My conclusion is that the buildings fell as a result of controlled demolition.

I am a Cosmotoligist and have actively worked in all areas of the beauty industry for 29 years. I have been an active volunteer for my choices for local elections, and I believe strongly in our constitutional rights as a citizen of the United States. I am probably as much of an Average Joe as most people living the dream. That's why I believe my support is important to finding out the truth behind 911. There are thousands of people like myself who stand for the truth and expect it of our government.
I have had questions about the collapse of the twin towers and Bldg. 7 since I witnessed it on television the morning it happened. Just knowing a little about the effects of gravitational pull should lead anyone to question how, and why? I am glad there are people out there who have pushed for the truth about the tragedy, and we as a nation deserve the truth. This kind of support to find the truth makes me proud to be an American.

I was living at the next to Military installations. I am a business woman who knows what I saw and heard at that time, LIVE. I know the comments that were being made by new reporters/lay people/police/firemen All the people were stating it was bombs going off. By the afternoon it had all changed on TV and it was an airplane attack. Could not believe what I saw, the plane hitting was a shock, but the true shock was the way the building went down. I stood in awe, looked like a planned implosion of a building. I went to work and stated how it was impossible for a plane to strike a building and bring it down like that.
I stood and watched the TV as the first tower went down and saw what I believed to be a building being blown up, imploded. I thought the plane was part of the attack not the main reason for the destruction of the building. My first impression was the US was under attack. I drove to work and was greeted by many police vehicles looking at the over passes to the freeways for explosives. I never excepted the story that it collapsed like that because of a plane, then came the bldg 7. Never made any sense and you could see the explosions on the TV. Then everything went silent and you then got to see only what the media wanted you to see. I heard news reporter stating it was bombs, never heard again on National TV.

Currently a stay at home mom. I Worked in the mortgage and real estate fields before having children.
These were enormous buildings. I don't accept the propaganda that a jet could bring down a structure of this size and scope. Some people say that the jet fuel didn't need to melt the steel it just needed to weaken it. There wasn't enough jet fuel to weaken every support from top to bottom. Even if there was, we need to investigate why there was indeed molten steel at the base of the towers.

I am 23 and currently a culinary student in Denver. I have never studied architecture nor engineering but I find the topics raised in this film incredibly important so I try to educate myself as much as possible with documentaries.
My main concern over the occurrences of 9/11 is that the mainstream media clearly has not investigated this matter what so ever. I feel the only way to get the real story now a days is to do research online and to watch documentaries. I also can't help but think that if they can keep a story like the WTC demolished ions from the majority of the public then what else are they keeping from us that may be more difficult to prove.

I have always thought there was something wrong about the collapse since the day it happened, and many people I know thought the same way. I am glad to see people are coming together to offer scientific and physical proof for what we have always believed.

I am personally outraged that the government has not taken a further look into this idea. Why wouldn't there be anything left? Something, anything to indicate that the building had any occupants in it at all. Why would the squwibs be so far down when that particular area of the building was not yet effected by the falling pressure of the building? Why were so many people lost and unaccounted for? And where did the money go? The residents of the United States and the familys of those unfortunate souls deserve an answer.

I am amazed at the professionalism of this non-profit and a proud supporter. No real finger pointing, just pointing out the facts that are the 800 pound elephant in the room. The videos don't lie, they just point out the fact from a scientific stance and its perfect. We all must use our god given talents to help and support this cause!
There is to much evidence to simply push aside, it seems more likely a controled demolition.

My background is eclectic and deep, including having put two businesses together pretty much from and with nothing... Having sold them in the mid-eighties; also, I spent a number of years in the theater as a professional actor (not smoke and mirrors, but including work on Broadway, off-Broadway, regional theaters, etc.).
It is incredibly obvious to any sane and intelligent human (not too many of those around, however) that the buildings were taken down by pre-planted explosives, not by the damage done by the planes. And although the implications are horrendous, they need to be confronted.

The buildings collapsed due to demololitions placed in each building should be obvious to any one with common sense. Why didn't the Pentagon collapse similarly? The original CNN and local D.C. video footage (which is now hard to find) clearly show that it was a missle strike... otherwise there would have been damage where the 6 ton engines struck the building... but not a scratch. It was an inside job... obviously. Mr. Cheney and Mr. Bush stated numerous times that they have the black boxes from flight 77 that they said hit the Pentagon. Since Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon... this means that they know where the plane actually went down.

Since the 9/11 collapses of the twin towers I have felt that the way that they fell could not be from the jets crashing into them. Since I saw the video put out by ae911truth, I learned that building 7 also collapsed. There is no doubt in my mind that these buildings were blown up!

It is quite obvious that these building were imploded. One building that was not even hit by the so called commercial jets came down in exactly the same fashion. There has never been a case of fire damage to buildings that resulted in an implosion. I believe that this was an inside job perpetrated by the American government so they could wage war (with the full and fearful backing of the world) against some fanciful terrorist group.

I will never forget seeing the World Trade Centers collapse on TV. I remember reading a book before September 11, 2001. In it the author, Barbara Marceniak, said to look for a relatively small event that would receive global attention. I knew instantly that the attack on the World Trade Center was the event that she seemed to have predicted. I waited almost five years before I ever started looking at the mounting evidence. I have spent countless hours reading testimony from the fire fighters, the family members who lost loved ones, the re-run of news clips, and now I am convinced that bombs and other explosives were planted in the buildings. It is still hard for me to conceive that this information is not main stream. I would like to see the Truth come out.

Like Richard Gage has said before, the official story insults the intelligence of a 10 year old. It is quite obvious the official story doesn't make much sense. At least if we are wrong about 9/11 being an inside job, prove us wrong!

I never believed the towers could have collapsed simply from being struck by an airplane, let alone go down in such a perfect manner. Then there is building 7, enough said? Also the fact the certain individuals were more or less warned not to be at work that morning, or that NORAD didn't scramble fighter jets when there was evidence of a plane striking the S tower. Just too many things about it make no sense.
