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.

I was in Manhattan, at school, on 9/11. That morning, I was with my friend Nate, from Boston. As we both watched the buildings fall, he realized his mother was on one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. After doing my own research into these events, I have found many inconsistencies in the official government story of what happened that day. I believe we need a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. The speech that Mr. Gage gave at Manitoba University is the most concise explanation of my opinions on the WTC collapse. I hope someone can make a similar video on the Pentagon crash.

The vision of the buildings pancaking onto their own footprints, would not happen without controlled explosive charges to ensure the correct timing. If it were high temperature and weight alone, the twin towers sections above the plane impact would most likely have toppled to the side and not straight down on their footprint. And then for both to follow in exactly the same way, it had to be controlled. Then there was 7 WTC, it was not impacted and yet it also collapsed into its own footprint, that had to be a controlled demolition. There needs to be an independent investigation to find the Truth and prosecute those responsible.

Building 7 cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The molten steel cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The immense cloud of dust at the TOPS of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by softened steel brought down by gravity. The vertical and horizontal ejects from the tops of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by gravitational force. The presence of thermate in the dust particles tells it all - the mainstream media does not - obviously. And how about the human remains outside ground zero?

I saw WTC collapse when I was student in VGTU (Technical University in Vilnius). I suddenly realized, that it looked like control demolition. Nothing else. All these 15 years of my professional career I studied buildings construction failures, repairs after earthquakes and fires. I should say, that my opinion just improved with the knowledge and experience. Buildings doesn't collapse the way we see WTC collapsed vertically. If there were local construction failure, it would collapse partly, non symmetrically. It's absolutely clear, that authorities hiding something. It's absolutely clear, that American citizen and the rest of the world should know the truth. I believe that AE comunity will make it possible. And I am proud to be a part of AE for the 911 truth!

BS Engineering University of Oklahoma, MBA Harvard University, MS and PhD Political Economy University of Texas at Dallas, with dissertation in financial economics entitled 'Capital Market Efficiency of Firms Financing Research and Development'. The dissertation, in Chapter 4 'Asset Pricing Circularity', debunked the single-equation simultaneity in the prominent Three-Factor Model for stock-portfolio pricing, in order to demonstrate a newly discovered, scientific, stock-portfolio pricing anomaly.
Western scientific method requires selecting the most parsimonious hypothesis that fits all the facts, not selecting the facts that fit a preconceived hypothesis. According to scientific methodology, based on the evidence available in 2013, all three of the World Trade Center buildings, North Tower, South Tower and WTC7, were destroyed as a result of controlled demolition. Explaining how is a straightforward application of science and engineering, but explaining why may have to be explained by other learned disciplines such as political science, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology and philosophy.

Let's use some common sense and investigate this properly please. It doesn't take rocket science to know that SOMETHING strange happened. Even a layperson can, having watched buildings being professionally brought down on TV for years can tell...this sure looks like the same thing! How can heat from above cause a building to collapse from the bottom? It makes no sense.

The work being done by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and by Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, questions the explanation of collapse given by the 9/11 Commission and NIST. The statement that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by controlled demolition is proven conclusively by the empirical evidence and basic physics. One only needs to look at conservation of energy to see this.

Occupation: Environmental Analyst
After receiving my degree I started working as a private consultant in environmental industry. My task consisted of assessing hazardous waste sites and determining how best to clean them up. After doing that for 13 years I transitioned into state service where I was responsible for reviewing environmental reports for technical adequacy and compliance with state and federal regulation. I currently have 30 years experience in the environmental field.
There were too many unanswered questions and/or poorly answered ones about how the trade towers and Bld 7 collapsed that forced me to reevaluate the official explanation. I've begun to understand that the reason people view people like me as conspiracy 'nuts' has nothing to do with impossibility of a multistory building, let alone three of them, collapsing into their own footprints unless it's by planned demolition. Rather it has everything to do with the inability to accept that our government, or rogue elements within our government, may have had anything to do with it. When that fact is accepted as a possibility, then everything else falls into place.

I also attended 4 semesters at South Dakota State University, '68-'70 (2yr. industrial engineering coarse not completed). I was a Union Journeyman bricklayer from 1972-2002 and have received SSDI since 2002. I was also a part time musician from 1965-1980 and mandatoriy attended ROTC during my college yrs. Campaigned for George McGovern in '80 and was an anti-Viet Nam war activist around '69. Became politically active again in 1983-1985 against US involvement in Central America and S. Africa, etc., than again in 2003-present against US involvement in the Middle East, etc.
I protested against the Iraq war in 2003 and learned a lot about the US gvmnt. from a 'liberal' radio station out of Mpls., MN beginning in 2004. I began protesting against many US wars in 2012-present. I was a little familiar with '911 truth' during these periods. I very recently watched a video on UTUBE about the Iluminati which said that a certain kind of explosibve containing aluminum and hydrogen could melt steel enough to make a building implode-that burning jet fuel doesn't melt steel-that a relative of George Bush's was a head of security at the World Trade Center- that he left office just before 911-that a 3rd World Trade bldg. (#7) also imploded later that same day. Other 911 truth videos have moved me to sign up with your group today.

I only have a High School diploma. I have not entered any educational institution to obtain any degree. Instead, I have furthered my education on various book reading, from a very large genre of topics of non-fiction; True Crime, World Wars, Forensic Science, Criminal Profiling, Serial Killers, and Political Leaders, just to name a few.
I have researched a great deal in books, independent and public news sources, along with internet research on the events of 9-11 and have no doubt in my mind that this was a false flag operation with involvement of some very well connected and highly organized group of individuals for a wide range of motives.

The story about the two Twin Towers is 'possible' to believe, but not that of WTC7. There is so much inconsistency about it. Also, this building was never mentioned in the NIST Report. WHY??

2000 ' 2004: Grundschule Emst in Hagen (elementary school)'2004 - 2013: Albrecht-D'rer-Gymnasium in Hagen (a very good secondary school) graduation: Abitur with 1.5 passed (possible grade range: from (min) 4.0 till (max) 1.0) very good grades in math and computer science (info). Since 2013: Student of Software engineering in Dortmund. Witnessed on 7 March 2004, the demolition of the 'Sparkasse Hagen tower' (101 m/331 ft high) in my home town Hagen. It was a controlled demolition, but the demolition was so far not as good as the collapse of the 9/11 Towers.
I read several articles, saw the important frames, that show the collapse of the WTC buildings, again and again, watched hours of several documentaries and read the book (in German) '11.9. - zehn Jahre danach: Der Einsturz eines L'gengeb'udes' (in English: 11.9 - 10 years after the collapse of a building full of lies) completely. There are so many unanswered questions, obvious indications that the government is badly involved in this and so many facts, which are ridiculous in reference to the official story. For instance: 'What happened to WTC 7?' And, (more important) 'Why does the official Commission Report (600 pages long) not mentioned it?'

What is that thing attached to the second military looking plane that hit the WTC? You could have hit those Towers with 10 planes and they would not have collapsed. Unless they were loaded with thermite of course.

I have suspected it was a controlled demolition from the beginning. But after watching such presentations as this, along with watching many documentaries that also highlight crucial evidence, has led me to believe it for a fact.

Witnessed planes crashing into the Towers on TV the day it happened. Could not believe what I was watching. Witnessed the Towers collapsing in absolute perfect symmetrical free fall. Even more unbelievable, I heard the official story some time later and knew it couldn't be believed.
