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.

How does the WTC collapse and WTC building 7 end up in controlled demolotion? There are so many problems with what happened that day. The only way it ends up with controlled demolition is if thermite and/or nanothermite was used and there is evidence that it was.

I have reviewed the video footage made by two French filmmakers, the Naudet Brothers, while in New York on September 11 making a documentary of the New York Fire Service. The footage shows that, while filming in Canal Street, firemen and crew are distracted by a plane flying low overhead. The camera operator instinctively turns his camera towards the North Tower and, for little more than a second or so, we get a clear view of the plane crashing into the tower. Before the plane strikes it fires a missile that blows a hole in the building's fa'ade. This is the cause of that brief flash. The plane then begins to disappear neatly into this hole, leaving no wing impressions. Just before it disappears however it fires two more missiles from somewhere near its tail. One goes to the left, one to the right (and up a bit) and it is the blast holes from these three separate missiles that form the great gash across the building.

It is inconceivable that three steel skyscrapers would fall in their own footprints at nearly free fall speed without the cause being a controlled demolition. An energy balance defies the official story of a gravitational fall caused by jet fuel fires. The evidence of molten metal, horizontal projection of steel beams and the pulverization of the buildings and their contents cannot be explained by the official story. Our country has been asleep and our democracy depends on learning the truth.

I am a 10 year Naval Veteran. My specialty while in the service of this country, was an Aviation Boatswainmate FUEL specialist. I attended and graduated PETROLEUM LABORATORY SPECIALIST SCHOOL, FORT LEE, VIRGINIA. I served as a petroleum laboratory quality control specialist while stationed at U.S. Naval Air Station North Island, Coronado Island, San Diego. I tested and certified the fuel for Air Force One for then president Ronald Reagan. I have done everything with jet fuel in the laboratory environment from freezing it, to frying it in a 3000 degree crucible, and then weighing the residue on an analytical beam balance. My military training was based on the ASTM (American Standard Test Methods) for petroleum products for JP-4-5-6. As well and all forms of Diesel and heavy lubrication products such as 5190 lube oils.
I can tell you from on hands experience, that (jet fuel) did not play (any part) in burning steel in the buildings that collapsed on 9/11. IT IS VIRTUALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! Our government planned and executed this disaster, for a pretext of revenge and for an unjustified war, on the part of the Military Industrial Complex.

The big key when trying to educate a novice, it seems to me, is the collapse of Building 7. So few have even heard of it, and they are startled and initially incredulous when you tell them of it. This gets their attention and provides the titilation that encourages them to listen further.

In the wake of evidence, there is no way these three buildings fell. They were demolitioned.

We wonder why are at war, (lies). It's lies that bring us to war because we are a power hungry species and we don't know our limits! I think the government lies. Who's to say they don't? Do we have proof? Sometimes the answers we look for aren't the ones we want to hear so we all freak out and where does that leave us? No where!

I am a 26 year old man with a good job and a family. I was 16 when the towers fell.
At 16 years old I knew at the very moment building #2 fell that this was a farse. I knew there was no physical way a building of that size could fall the way it did from what had Happened to it. I, from that moment, began my research. The day of, I was already on the internet trying to figure out why this really happened. Over the years I came to find out many very unnerving things to say the least. It was a spit in my face. I no longer trust anything the government or mainstream media tell me. It's a shame to live isolated but its the only way I can be sure to escape the deceit.

I graduated from University of Tennessee with a B.S. in Geosciences. I was employed as an Environmental Consultant for 5 years and am currently unemployed. (Looking! hint..) Geoscience is a multidisciplinary science requiring a background in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. In my field I am required to draw on this foundation of disciplines to interpret data utilizing the scientific method, draw conclusions based solely on these data and submit those findings.
I remember that day as viscerally as if it was yesterday. Rage, fear, confusion. National panic. But there was something else. In the coming months the one-sided emotional fervor being stirred up. The war drums being beaten. I am a student of history as well as science. It seemed eerily similar to historical events. Suspicious political maneuvering engaged in by the Bush Administration was rampant. It was the handicapping of the 9/11 Commission by Bush that piqued my skepticism. If there is no issue, why the secrecy? Why the friction? Exclusion of evidence? I began researching around 2004 and allowing myself the option that this can and MAY have happened in our beloved country. Building 7 was the key for me. It had been silenced in the MSM. Blackout. Above all it was a PERFECT collapse. Too perfect.

My employment/career is in rehabilitation, a functional component of healthcare due to interest in people, improving the quality of life and steering people to make healthy choices. My experiences have given me exposure to many lifestyles, family relationships, chemical and biological sciences and mental health. In addition to career influences, my life interests include anthropology, community life, environmental issues, nature and wildlife. In the process I've taking close interest in following policy making, and understanding political influence.
I am well read on the structural conditions, chemical, temperature, and timing associated with of the collapse of the World Trade Buildings. I do not buy the given story. There are too many conflicting details. I would like to see the truth revealed through honest investigation if that is possible without government or political influence. Unfortunately the inferences of secret motives and some unknown clandestine operation seems most probable and clouds the possibility that the truth will be fully exposed.

I love my country. I was working for M.L.B. team on 911. Due to the nature of events that day baseball had been cancelled for the first time ever. We were worried that terrorist would attack a stadium of 43,000 people. We worried everyday and made alot of changes after 911. It was crazy I had to do bomb sweeps over 10000 seats everyday to secure the stadium before allowing entry. It was the day that change America 🙁
Well, I've always been interested in getting to the truth behind 911, feeling that there was always more to it. I know Bush is to blame. After watching your video I believe it was blown up wow and to think all these years I thought the collapse was due to jet fuel. This just blows my mind....

I am an American who was affected by the 9/11 attacks as was every other one of my fellow citizens. My government failed us miserably and the more this is investigated the more that becomes obvious. I have been many things in my life but the most valuable asset I have is smelling a rat and the 9/11 commission report is full of them.
I am not an expert of anything other than common sense and logic. It takes no expert to see that the official story was incomplete and obviously hampered at every turn from providing an accurate report.

Seems like all the evidence points to something other than the planes causing the twin towers to collapse. I don't think Osama Bin Ladin had anything to do with the attacks. Why kill a man who is probably innocent? Is it just to put this whole matter completely under cover? It would be democratic and scientific to have a complete investigation and determine the real cause of how the buildings collapsed.

I have watched recent TVO's The Agenda with Steve Pakin that has refocused my attention to this, the 10th anniversary of 9/11. What limited footage I have seen of that day's event seems to lead me to believe that the planes crashing into WTC was just a convenient distraction.

I am an educated individual in both Health Sciences and Business Administration.
I have researched this event throughout the years and strongly believe there is more to the story about 9/11 than what the government and mainstream media presented to society world-wide. I am concerned about how the WTC complex switched ownership just six months prior to the 9/11 attack and how tycoon Silverstein greatly profited insurance-wise from these events. I think it is odd Marvin Bush was affiliated with security in the WTC as well. This provides opportunity to rig the building without anyone being caught. I also do not understand how WTC 7 fell at free speed nor do I understand why the Towers fell in 10 seconds pulverizing everything. When I compare this event to controlled demolition these towers do EXACTLY the same thing. The buildings were rigged with explosives.
