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.

Saw the towers come down on CNN in luderitz, Namibia on 9 Sept 2001 - as far away from that world as you could get. Bought into the bush conspiracy immediately and thought nothing more about it until I was looking for some images of the world trade centers towers in July 2007 and came across the vast amount of info on the net about the incidents and the alternate theories (some very wacky and out there) to what happened. Then I saw both Richards slide show and Steve e Jones power point on the net and found the facts presented did not added up to what had been presented as the truth at the time. When you step back and have over view , what Richard is asking for makes complete sense. The research presented by Richard is sound. Buildings do not collapse the way these three did by themselves.

I have been very skeptical about the collapse of the twin towers and in particular WTC 7 from day 1. Not simply as someone who is wary of the establishment and governments, but simply as an architect. - - - - I have shared my theories in more detail with friends, but have often been met with a degree of skepticism or disinterest. - - - - I have read, but never believed the official report. The most damning evidence (for me) was from a particular video of the top of (one of) the two towers starting to topple in one direction. Yet miraculously, the mass starts to correct itself and the building falls pancake style. This defies the basic laws of physics. The momentum developed by that mass in one direction could only correct itself if the feet of the building were pulled out from under it. (I don't believe this was anoptical illusion. - - - - WTC 7: controlled demolition, no questions. - - - - I believe that after the 1993 bombing, all the WTC towers were wired for controlled demolition in order to pre-empt a potential domino effect in downtown Manhattan should a more powerful bomb cause one of twin towers to topple. The damage would have been potentially catastrophic. - - - - This could have easily been accomplished, and would certainly fall under a national security operation, complete with a legitimate and understandable blanket of confidentiality. If ever the towers did need to come down (which it turned out they did) the act would be committed under the need for national security.

Retired. Work on F4D, A3D, DC-10, T-45, and F-20, in flight tests and flutter models developing instrumentation systems and some instruments. Developed instrumentation tape recorders both ground stations and high environment types for aircraft and missiles. Was a problem solver and project engineer from the beginning as a technician before finishing my degree, and through out my career.
As I watched the TV of the planes hitting and the collapse of the towers and Bldg 7, I said to my wife, They were imploded. To me it was obvious that was the case, because they came down in their own footprint. Later when they cleared the site before forensic evidence could be collected and examined, as was done in Oklahoma City, I became certain that it was setup. My theory is that after the first attempt on the towers, the powers-to-be managed the installation of the charges, how I didn't know, but then they waited for the Muslims to strike again; using it as an excuse for the war and Patriot Act.

Even someone who has passed High School physics should know the official story of 9/11 is a fraud. Buildings will not collapse at near free-fall speed from fire and/or aircraft impact. Any scientist suggesting such a possibility is a liar or incompetent. There are too many unexplained inconsistencies in the official story of 9/11 to mention. Having studied much material from Lyndon LaRouche's publications, particularly from Executive Intelligence Review magazine, I see that BAE Systems and Dick Cheney have a lot of explaining to do in relation to 9/11.

My technical experience does not allow me to make any comments regarding the events of 9/11. I am just a concerned citizen and wish to see a full investigation into the events of 9/11.
Again, I do not possess the technical knowledge to make any judgment regarding the collapses. I just wish to support the individuals who recognized the destruction of the World Trade Center was not a result of the two planes that crashed into them and of course had nothing to do with the collapse of Building 7.

The official version doesn't make sense to me. The way the towers fell, the hole in the towers from the plane, how the Pentagon was looking like after the crash there. The hole in the ground that should be the crash down from the forth airplane, I have never seen an airplane hitting the ground like this. That they found the Passport from the high-checker in all that debris and dust. Everything was pulverized, burned, melted...but that passport was still readable. And so on and on.

I was watching when the buildings came down and uneducated as I am, I could see it was a controlled demolition. Thank you for putting this information together in a professional way from a professional standpoint. Hopefully the truth will set us free.

i have 2 years of building structure and engineering study behind me now. I'm 22, live in England, research steel framed buildings, and am very interested in the 9/11 truth.
I believe that the American government is behind a lot of things, including the war between Iraq and Iran, as your American government gave chemical weapons to Iraq, which also raises suspicion about whether the American government just let the terrorists hijack American planes and destroy the twin towers. There are a lot of obvious lies surrounding this subject such as the fact that one of the towers was said to have collapsed because the steel frame melted, but if it had melted, then people couldn't have survived in the plane hole. Yet there were people waiting for rescue. And they said no explosives were used, but many people close by heard them. And the coincidence that the same day that most of the fighter jets protecting the country were on a training day and there were only 9 fighter jets left to protect America.

I am a very intelligent and open-minded individual. The meaning of life from my viewpoint is to Love and Learn while we're here. Peace and Harmony to all!
There are too many holes in the story we have been told. There is too much evidence that shows this was a planned event from within our own country (possibly with some outside help too). Six of the ten 9/11 Commissioners have come forward in the past couple of years and publicly stated the report was set up to fail. We need to demand answers and hold those truly responsible accountable for the crimes on humanity. Peace, Love and Truth for all!

I am a member of the rapidly growing collection of thinking Americans no longer willing to just accept what is being rained down upon us as truth and fact. Looking under the hood with the help of A&E for Truth, we can not accept the half truths of explanation offered by the Federal Government.
Given the overwhelming scientific information that contradicts the official explanation of what happened to the Twin towers and Building 7, all thinking individuals have to question the findings of the official investigation. Let's do it now and NOT bury the Truth.

it is fundamentally impossible for a free standing 47 story building with virtually no damage to suddenly collapse in a basic free fall without carefully planted explosives....damage to a part of the building through an impact or explosion would have caused collapse of that section with the remainder of the building left relatively intact.

Born 1960. While I have no technical background (save what I've learned from such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth), I have three university degrees and am therefore familiar with critical thinking and academic discourse. What I have learned over the past ten years from 9-11 researchers such as David Ray Griffin suggests we have been sold a public myth rather than scientific fact. Profound thanks to those courageous professionals who are willing to risk their careers in the cause of truth.
Numerous scholarly books and articles--not to mention the documentary film 9-11: Blueprint For Truth--have the cumulative effect of undermining the authorized conspiracy theory regarding September 11th. Thanks to the diligent work of such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, we are ready to insist on a new and independent public investigation with full subpoena powers.

I first took interest in the topic because of a movie I saw online called Zeitgeist which really got my attention. After more research I found the documentary Loose Change which opened more questions. I soon realized that millions of people believed the official story was fictitious and that the evidence for the buildings to fall due to fire held no water. I purchased Dr. Steven Jones' lecture as well as Richard Gage's DVDs on this site and had to come to the realization that professionals questioned the official story as well. I want a fair and independent investigation to take place. I want the truth.

I've followed politics and political events for all my adult life, as best I could, from the information available to me. The internet and information on it from literate and articulate writers who source their opinions has resulted in me fundamentally changing my understanding of our country, the U.S.
The corners and interior columns of WTC 7 could not possibly have all failed at the same time, due to fire. Any collapse, improbable to begin with, would have been lopsided, not straight down, unless explosives of some sort were used.

I think A&E for Truth speaks for us all concerning the technical analysis of the demolition of the three WTC buildings. It would take weeks, maybe months to plant the explosives in the buildings. This explains the high level of security reported by employees during the weeks leading up to the attack
