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.

Having reviewed a great amount of the published findings associated with the 9/11 events - official and otherwise - I find myself compelled to seek a revisiting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the event in order that a more definitively exhaustive and conclusive accounting of this significant episode in the history of our country might be forthcoming. Upon much reflection I sincerely believe that to stand by and allow the 'fog of war' to interfere in the attainment of the 'truth' is 'unpatriotic' and inexcusable on my part as a taxpaying and law-abiding US Citizen and a member of the architecture profession. The 'official' accounting as rendered by the 9/11 Commission/NIST has been measured and found to be somewhat lacking as regards scope. All of the buildings, WTC 1, 2 & 7, appear to have fallen far too fast. WTC 7 was not even 'hit' and it collapsed straight down into its footprint. Dante Amato, Architect

I've been doing mostly intersection roundabout design work for most of my engineering life.
"What we have been told about 9/11 is a lie. Open fire doesn't melt steel nor does a building fall on it's own footprint at free fall acceleration unless it has been brought down by controlled demolition. To set this up requires days, months, perhaps years to prepare for, to set the explosives and so forth. This was a controlled demolition. Airplanes couldn't have taken these buildings down. You expect me to believe that at 5:20 PM long after the two towers came down in the morning of that same day by controlled demolition that another building (7) came down by the same method? There is no way by the laws of physics that it occurred the way we have been told. The truth about this issue has been totally ignored and has barely even gotten out. We cannot proceed with the facts of any ""news"" until we go back and get the truth out about this matter. Thanks."

I am not an engineer. I am a nurse. I possess adequate investigative skills and common sense, which I think are all that are required to decipher the truth.
I was exposed to the truth of 9/11 by a c-span presentation on 'FORA.TV entitled Theories of September 11th'. This was October of 2007. I was impressed and began my own research. I was convinced it was an inside job when I heard the statements of people coming out of the WTC stating there were explosions in the sub-levels that killed, maimed, and burned people. How could that be unless there were people on the inside? The official story did not stand up to examination. My view of the world was radically changed that day. I have not been the same since. We who know are compelled to action.

As horrifying as it is to contemplate the true story behind 9/11, I believe 'the truth shall set you free'. For the health and soul of America, and for democracy to endure, we must reopen the investigation into what really happened to bring down the three buildings.

The movie presents scientific and logically compelling evidence of demolition of WTC buildings. If not challenged by the official scientific and honest arguments, I will count the US government responsible for the lives taken on 9/11 and the wars that followed.

Another investigation needs to be done. Evidence seems to suggest that controlled explosions caused the 3 buildings to fall, and not the planes hitting two of the buildings.

It's outrageous that our government would devastate and destroy the lives of so many innocent people, and to have done this by imploding, without notice to the public and tenants, two iconic American skyscrapers. The families need to sue Mr.Bush and his administration. I'm deeply sad for the families that were directly affected. Billy Robinson

It is very clear that the United States government are not acknowledging the full story on the events that took place 11 September 2001. It is physically impossible for WTC 7 to collapse in the way that it did! Only with some kind of intervention can a building fall through the path of most resistance with seemingly almost no resistance whatsoever. The evidence suggests it was the result of a controlled demolition. Please give us the answers to our questions! Explain to us why thermite is detected in the dust? Why there was molten steel in the rubble? Why hundreds of witnesses heard explosions?..... The list goes on and on..... We are not stupid! Give us the answers!!

I really have nothing to say about the 9/11 destruction. There are no words quite right.

I feel anybody looking at these overwhelming facts can see that the original story of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11 is incorrect. We need a new independent investigation to find out the real reason the Towers collapsed.

I'm a high school graduate with some college education. I was 18 when 9/11 occurred and like most, believed it was a terrorist attack. After many videos started to circulate, it became very clear to me that 9/11 didn't make much sense. I simply want a new investigation to prove it was in fact a terrorist attack like the government has stated.
After watching video of the 3rd building crumbling to the floor, Im perplexed as to why, with such minimal fire damage, a building would totally collapse. It's not scientifically possible for the said office fire to bend or melt steel to the point where it would make Building 7 collapse. Also if it did collapse due to the fire, I would think the side compromised the most would have gave way first. Yet the building came down demolition stye. Their explanation doesn't make sense and with scientist's evidence out weighing theirs, I feel a new investigation should be opened

When I saw the NIST report I knew something wasn't right and many questions were left unanswered. We deserve answers to the greatest tragedy to befall the American people. We need a new comprehensive study that is adequately funded. So much was missed the first time around. Were the Israeli's involved in this event. What of the five dancing Israeli's and the moving company they worked for. Why wasn't that looked at?

Worked in the construction industry for well over 30 years including the building of new structures and reinforcing of existing structural steel to accommodate heavier loads.
Removal of structural steel fireproofing is not an easy process, it just would not 'shake off' from impact as the original report had stated. When ever we reinforcing an existing structure, we had to chisel the fireproofing off.
