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 belief is that the version of the collapse which the government gives us clearly denies the evidence as well as the laws of physics. An independent investigation is required, with all evidence available to the public, in order for the truth to be determined.

I'm a 40 year old Union Ironworker and live in Manhattan New York.I've been Ironworking for about 14 years and have been on some of the biggest jobs in the U.S. over that time. I moved to New York on July 4th weekend of 2001 from California and got a job out of local 40 Ironworkers hall to work on the Willie B. bridge and 2 months later I got a front roll set to the biggest event in U.S. history. Seeing it live and talking my own photo's and then going down there and seeing it for myself and helping clean up the mess that was left behind and breathing all that bad air seamed worth it at the time but now with my heath and seeing new evidence about the event has made me wonder that if the terrorist did not do it then who did and why. I don't want to die from this like so many others and not know the truth.
All I want is the whole truth nothing but the truth so help us God!!! And if we as tax payers have to spent 10 billion in building a new tower the same as the old one and slam an aircraft into it again to find the truth then that's what we should do that's not that much more money when you look at all the money we have spent on this illegal War and all the lies. My freedom means a lot to me and the truth shell set us free!

I majored Fine Art at UC Santa Cruz before beginning my eight year long apprenticeship in 1977 at various Orange County architectural firms. I passed the California exams and have been licensed since 1988. I have designed many steel frame multi-story office buildings in southern California and many steel framed and concrete buildings of various types across the United States and in the Middle East. I have been a principal in a large AEC consortium as well as practice on my own as a planner, designer, illustrator and consultant.
I spent the first year following the disaster in the bubble, shocked I suppose. Shortly thereafter I began to dig and found alternative arguments on the web and came to believe that something other than the official story was more likely. Now the evidence is overwhelming and a new investigation must be undertaken as soon as possible. The questions surrounding the event are too important to sweep under the rug.

It seems that the when it comes to the collapse of the 3 towers the 9/11 truthers and the 9/11 debunkers are talking about different parts of the collapse. The debunkers focus on the local damage caused by the planes and fires. Their claims of local failure might have some validity but they make no attempt to connect the local failures with the mode of global building failure we all observed. The 9/11 truthers start with the global building failures and work backward to what might have caused it. This seems to me a better approach.

graduated in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1971. graduated with a masters degree in Environmental Design from the University of Calgary in 1981. worked since 1978 variously as a park planner, environmental planner, ski area planner, and community planner. also taught 'environmental sustainability' at a local college and building technology at BCIT, both in the Vancouver area.
First, verify the facts. Leave the speculation to later. Based on the photographic evidence of the collapses alone, there are a host of issues that cry out to be openly debated until there is a complete and consistent explanation of events. Without a truly independent commission, speculation will remain rampant and conspiracy theory(ies) flourish. It would be even less likely that those responsible will be brought to justice if we can't agree on what brought the buildings down.

I have been working as a practicing architect since my graduation in 2002, under the care of a fully licensed architect. I have also completed my internship, but I just never took the exams. I can complete town-approved drawings for residential homes (start to finish, including structure design), and have put together many packages for small scale commercial buildings.
For many years I went along with all reported news on the destruction of buildings 1 and 2 without knowing anything about building 7. A few years ago my girlfriend had me watch a documentary on the destruction of building 7, which really made me question my thoughts on it all. Since that day I have watched, read and reviewed everything I could get my hands on (including the actual building plans you have on your website) and have come to realize that many reported facts simply can't be true. The sentence That's just not possible is a phrase I now use often when it comes to this subject.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Military Institute in 1968. I have an EIT in Virginia, Alabama, and Georgia. I worked for GE as an electrical engineer before being drafted and serving in the Vietnam war. I designed control systems for HVAC systems for large commercial and industrial buildings.
After intensely studying all available evidence and facts for over a decade, it's clear to me that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is absurd. The three buildings that collapsed in lower Manhattan were clearly controlled demolitions. There are still many unanswered questions about 9/11. I wonder why the U.S. Government has no interest in finding (or disclosing) the truth.

I have experience in electrical, mechanical, topographical mapping, and architectural disciplines using Autocad, as well as an auto tech repairman, motorcycle tech repairman, welding, fabricating, and fixing about anything that breaks.
The explanations given regarding the tragic events on 9/11 do not match with the evidence shown. The melting process of steel is not instant allowing a building to free fall perfectly vertical, four times in a row especially. The fourth building wasn't even hit, had a small office fire, and the same thing happened to it as well. Witnesses to large explosions knew it was coming down before it did. Steel would warp, and twist since the fire was not perfectly distributed, and the fail points would give away at different times due to varying loads, and design variances before failing in an uneven, and much slower fashion.

I will do whatever I can to make sure that the truth about what occurred on 9/11 is brought to the masses. I'm tired of being called a conspiracy theorist for not believing all of the lies that the media spread that day. I am proud to be an American and angry that a small group of evil people could carry out such a horrific act and let the citizens of this great country suffer for it.
I don't believe anything I was told about what happened on that day. While planes clearly hit the Twin Towers, there is no way that a plane hit the Pentagon, no way that a plane crashed at the site in Pennsylvania that was shown on the news, and no way that Building 7 came down from office fires.

Felt there were things that did not add up from the beginning, just the way the buildings fell. I have questions about the plane that hit the Pentagon as well as the plane that crashed in the field. I have never seen a crash site with no debris, how can things like the engines and landing gears disintegrate?

I'm just interested to stay informed and discuss. I had a fire that destroyed my home to have some experience of what happens with fires.
After having a fire at my home, I am mind-boggled to wonder how the papers were floating around the WTC, how did papers not get burned, yet pretty much no other remains to speak of from the building? Desks? Toilets etc? But Papers remained & didn't burn up? Strange.

With a science and physics background, I can understand the evidence as presented by AE911Truth. I also feel that I have an open mind and can evaluate what is presented. The free fall of Building 7 is obvious. Most people have seen the demolition of buildings. I try to leave out the emotional factors. I also try to eliminate speculation as to the instigators. I see a growing and maybe related link to the problems associated with the world unrest. The need for power, control and greed can bring mankind to commit unspeakable acts toward his fellow humans.

I have watched the film and realized that even though I remember watching the events on the Twin Tower collapse, I didn't consider that it could possibly have been anything but what we saw on the news. However, having watched your documentary and the stated facts, there is no doubt in my mind (none whatsoever) that there is any way that the buildings have collapsed due to the fire alone. Even just reviewing the footage, how can three separate buildings collapse so evenly? It's not the way that nature works, especially on buildings that have been designed to withstand an airplane attack! I am against governments putting fear into the people by staging an attack which has been used as an excuse to invade another countries and kill countless numbers of innocent people. I want to see an independent investigation into the World Trade Center attacks and have the US government be punished for what they have done.

Politics is, by definition, manipulation of the truth to convince the public. Science is the opposite - the search for truth no matter where it leads. If the unprecedented power of the military industrial complex, in collusion with the opaque largest and most militaristic government in history is innocent of the 9/11 disasters, why won't they enthusiastically come out and support more scientific investigation of what happened on 9/11?

God bless all who had their lives taken from them without reason. The North and South Tower should still be standing to this day, as should Building 7. Even if left to burn the damage would have remained to the top of the buildings at worst 50% of each Tower. For a building of that size and construction to fold in on itself from the bottom in 9.2 seconds after burning for a very short period 1000 ft above is an absolute freak occurrence and frankly impossible where science is concerned and yet I'm to believe on a certain day it happened twice within an hour. I believe the lives lost on 9/11 were lost for nothing.

Clearly a controlled demolition... sans doubt. Burning hydrocarbons, in an open air environment, couldn't possibly generate temperatures high enough to severely compromise steel support columns of the type used in skyscraper construction. But even if it could, asymmetrical damage could never cause a symmetrical collapse, much less a collapse at, or very near to, free-fall acceleration .9/11 was an inside job END-OF-STORY!

Well, after watching a lot of videos and reading many ebooks, I have concluded that the mass media produce much misinformation. I realize from the statements of experts that the 9/11 report by the US government is a hoax. Chemists, engineers, and architects say something very different from the US government report; the difference is like night and day. It is important that we be willing to devote ourselves to finding the truth. So be patient and take care. God bless you and the real America too.

I am a high school honor student graduate, with three of four years completed of college education. I have a tremendous amount of background knowledge in chemistry and physics.
I know that the collapse of the Towers, including Tower 7, were not possible through the planes hitting the buildings alone. There is remarkable evidence that thermite and/or shaped charges were used to bring down the buildings. These could have been planted during the security blackout overseen. An independent investigation is being demanded by the people. We are the taxpayers, We are the people, We are the power.

As the film shows, the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building #7 appears to be a controlled demolition. By who, we don't know. Whomever was involved, it is very unsettling that Americans are this vulnerable to attack.
