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.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

B Arch, California State University Fresno, 1984. I'm a licensed architect in the state of California; I am familiar with structural steel design.
When considering the yield point of A36 steel and the redundancy factors included in all 21st century buildings, these buildings could not have been collapsed by an airplane of any kind. This was obvious to me at the time I saw the collapse on television. When the first building came down I told my wife that 'airplanes can not make that happen.'

Currently completing a 5 year training as a psychotherapist in London, UK and in private practice for nearly 3 years. Numerous additional personal trainings have led me to extensively study (and directly experience) the workings of the human mind/psyche and Shadow (what is unconscious in us), and to include the very real 'Collective Consciousness' (Carl Jung).
In very simple terms, our relationship with authority stems from our experience as a child and that of our child/parent dynamics. The child must keep the parent 'good', as their very survival depends upon it. To contemplate the 'badness' of the parent/authority, threatens the psychological cohesiveness of the developing child's mind. Extrapolate that dynamic and overlay it on our (collective) relationship to the parent/authority, and the (collective) human psyche would much rather keep the parent/authority 'good' than accept what even an 'uneducated' individual can see with their own eyes. The implications are no less horrifying for the child, let alone the adult. To accept the controlled demolitions of the 3 WTC buildings is to accept that the then empowered US government was complicit in the slaughter of their own people for reasons that are void of morality, integrity and humanity. For a start. As you have already pointed out, this is not conspiracy, this is forensic science. The 'Parent' (Authority) was/is in (psychological) fact, a pathological, narcissistic and grandiose child seemingly still confident of its' own omnipotence. 'Gaslighting' (google it), is a classic defense of the Narcissist. There is a staggering arrogance and lack of empathy in this position. And, it is this very lack of empathy and humanity that is their 'Achilles Heel'. WAKE UP PEOPLE. To actively choose to avert your eyes and stay in Shadow (unconscious) is to commit psychological cowardliness upon yourself, your family, your community, your state, your country and our shared Planet.

I'm Mexican, I have truncated preparatory studies of tourist hospitality on campus Conalep Mexicali II, currently I am a small business, craft owner.
I'm drenched in information about 9/11. I'm from Mexico but this issue not only impacted the United States, but also the whole world. It is clear that it is not necessary to be a knowledgeable person on the subject of architecture, engineering and demolition to know that those 3 Towers were destroyed by high explosives. It is illogical to believe that more than 1000 bodies were not found. If they had been brought down by the planes, the bodies would have been crushed in the rubble, but not a hair, not a bone has been found from many innocent people until today. And, I do not believe they will ever be found because those people were destroyed by explosives that were planted in the Towers. Why have traces of body parts been found on the roof of a nearby building? Because they were expelled those remains of victims with powerful explosives. Was a false flag attack by the U.S. government for their own purposes dirty powerfully. I demand that the truth be known.

I feel I am an educated individual that reads and views a great deal of information on this country and administration. I think we live in an amazing country that IS a world leader but I really am unsure who is 'calling the shots'!
I have NEVER believed that what happened, happened the way the government said it did. I have read so much information and seen videos that led me to believe there were sinister forces involved besides the terrorists. Nothing the government has told us makes sense! And seeing the videos of the attack on the Pentagon looked more like a missile than an airplane. There also was no crash debris to show an airplane had crashed there! Things just do not add up!!!!!

I was in 7th grade when the towers were hit and was too young to understand. As I grew I began watching more and more documentaries and have become more educated and feel that this re-investigation would help many people.

There is overwhelming evidence that the official story does not hold up. The NIST report does not take into account any eye witness testimony nor did the Commission talk to independent engineers and architects about the buildings falling at free fall speed into their own footprint! Why did Building 7 fall when no airplane hit it and the fires were controllable? Why did NORAD stand down that day? How could the entire steel structures completely melt when it is physically impossible for a fire generated from airplane fuel to burn at the temperature needed for steel to melt? The dead and their families and the entire world need answers to these and many more questions. A fully independent investigation needs to be opened. Do your duty for one time. Impeach Obama and open a real investigation into who did what to the towers and the people in them.

I have a degree in Fashion Illustration, but I work as a Hearing Aid Specialist. I have never even been interested in politics until I realized our government had radically changed overnight, and I saw my Bill of Rights being taken away.
I could not figure out why we did not defend the attack of our country. Then I read the book written by one of the widows of 9/11. It was obvious then, and even more now, that you can't have an investigation when the suspects are the ones heading the investigation. I hope it's not too late. We know what they do to 'whistle-blowers' in this country now.

You don't need to be a scientist, or expert, to understand that this whole story is nothing more than a prefabricated lie. Not only to the American people, but it's a lie to the entire planet because the effects of this lie affects us all.

Educated self after graduation,I have been studying how buildings fail and how many buildings have failed due to fire. Brick buildings are far more likely to fail due to fire than modern steel beam construction. I have never seen or heard of a modern steel beam building failing because of a fire or even from a plane crashing into it.I have been a inspector for a military contractor and so I know to never assume that what I'm hearing or seeing is correct, our eyes can deceive us and just because some
Modern steel framed buildings do not collapse because of a fire and the trade center buildings were build with plane impact resistance figured into the structures plans, they should not have collapsed into their footprints without being set up with charges on their main support structures.There were too many odd coincidences on 911 for that attack to have been entirely done by Saudi terrorist, there had to have been inside help.There was a exercise that day that simulated a plane crashing into the trade center, the defensive aircraft were stood down and didn't respond until after the attack. Why were ALL the video tapes of the Pentagon incident seized by the FBI right after the attack and never released. Only the poor security video from 1 cam at the pentagon was released.

I was a student of political science in my first 3 years at University. I was taught that politics was a basically honest balancing act between people/groups of disparate ideologies and interests. I believed it was basically knowable, understandable...until I learned about the long and bloody history of US military involvements.
On the National Geographic and Discovery channels in the weeks before 9-11, I had seen a lot of shows about controlled demolition: why it is done, how it is done, who makes their living doing it. Although it is hard to imagine the scope and logistics of bringing down towers of the size of the WTC, there was no doubt in my mind that what I saw on 9-11 was the result of controlled demolition.

Graduated high school in 1963. Took several 'night school' courses afterwards. I have held many jobs in different mechanical fields just long enough to become proficient in them, then moved on to gain another skill. In 1979, I became a field service representative for a machine manufacturer, then a phone service tech & finally, I started my own service business. I retired in 2008.
With my mechanical background and good common sense, I knew the explanation for what happened in New York was impossible. Then, too, the little hole and small fire in the Pentagon, as well as the disappearing plane that was flight 93 here in Pennsylvania was just too much. I can't believe anyone could possibly believe any of their lies!

I am a retired senior Revenue officer, and former Head of the UK's Oil Taxation Office, which brought me into regular contact with overseas administrations, not least the US government. I have visited the US on several occasions and toured through seven or eight states. I have a great affection for the US and its citizens. On my last visit, not long before 9/11, I walked through the public area in one of the Twin Towers where there was an exhibition of exotic orchids in progress, and took a late afternoon/sunset return trip to Staten Island and back. The view of Lower Manhattan was amazing. In retirement I have worked as a lay judge in the Family Court.
I was one of the million people who took to the streets of London in 2003 to protest at the Blair Government's support for the impending invasion of Iraq. I was horrified that, in the wake of the WTC attacks, the US government declared a 'War on Terror' rather than take stock, and make constructive use of the international goodwill that was then available, in profusion. It was only later that I looked more critically at the footage of the building collapses and concluded that the official narrative was unsustainable. The 9/11 event has triggered unimaginable pain and suffering in consequence of the actions subsequently taken by the Bush Jr. administration. Establishment of the truth of 9/11 is essential in the interests of the health of the US body politic and of the whole world.
