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 graduated from U.H. Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture in May 2008 and have 4 years experience in two different architecture firms. I work with CAD programs and do 3D imaging.
I have viewed different videos of the collapses of the World Trade Center buildings and watched eyewitness accounts of the collapses. After considering people's accounts and the evidence demonstrating how demolished buildings go down, I have reason to believe the government's explanations are not clear or true. For these reasons a private party investigation is needed to uncover the truth of what happened.

Originally from Iran, I've been working as a freelance volunteer and traveling architect, planner, and designer since 1990. I've been as far as India, the middle-east region (UAE, Dubai), Iran, Africa, The Lakota nation of South Dakota, and Irvine of Orange County, USA. My 1979 H.S. diploma in Burlingame of Bay area, from Field-Moore Academy (mathematics), 1980-81, Rio Honda community college (computer software), 1981-87 University of Nebraska at Lincoln (Bachelor of Architecture, completed / masters in CRP, not completed) My very last AIA international associate position as both the client as well as the firm representative and project coordinator with former famed Hollywood actor Mr Russell Means of the Lakota nation of South Dakota and the Coop Himmel-Blau architecture firm.
At the time of the attack, I was in my Tehran, Iran office which our time zone was between 10-11pm working on my soon to be due submission for a Church design for the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church here in Irvine, CA. My UAE partner, Dr. Paxima, was visiting me pertaining his theme vacation destination, including Las Vegas style private resorts, for the first time ever in any Arab nation, specifically for Hollywood actors and actresses. My firm was hired by him to design and develop it. All of a suddenly I received a txt message from another partner of mine saying that if we had access to a high speed Internet, after saying yes, then he told us to go to cnn.com and check out what's being reported. Once at cnn.com, we were watching the first tower smoke raising from it, and we're in shock, however at first I thought it was a preview for an upcoming Hollywood movie premier, until the second airplane ran into the second tower. Now I have been traveling in and out of USA twice a year at least and almost every time coming in, I would stay with our family member, who is a Jewish Navy Lawyer living in the Flat Iron bldg, whose mother in law was visiting them, when the first explosion happened in the basement of one of the towers. I couldn't believe what I was seeing was true, so tragic. I was even very naively telling myself that how much more dumb was the second pilot who could not see such humongous bldgs in the world and followed the first pilot unintentionally!!! Then I remembered my cousin so I called him to see if they were okay and that if they also knew about what was really going on as to whether the whole thing was for real or a sick joke hoax. After many tries of calling with my international calling card, they would not respond so I decided to email them, which in my utmost unbelief, he acknowledged that the news was unfortunately 100% tragically absolutely true and not fake. And that's when it really hit all of us in Iran.

I worked on the Standard Oil Building design team at Perkins and Will Partnership (1972-74), when it topped out as the tallest building in the world. That was just weeks before Yamaski's Detroit design team's 1st World Trade Center tower topped out and beat us for that record. Our Chicago team was joint ventured with the NYC-based building design firm Edward Durrell Stone. Each tower design team had been following the work of the other for several years. Many of us became friends and associates. I reviewed and studied the 911 FEMA structural analysis report of the New York City and Pentagon incidents when it was published and noted hundreds of discrepancies and apparently deliberate omissions. I worked on several major project designs for over a decade with the Seattle-based structural design firm that designed the World Trade Center towers. I was intimately familiar with the structural characteristics of the WTC towers. They were quite obviously deliberately demolished internally by high-temperature explosives placed by professional demolition experts at hundreds of key structural joints. There is no other way those buildings could collapse within their own footprints as they did.
This was a deliberate act on the part of those who already had all the access to the WTC site that they required; they used the airliner attacks as a diversion. Apparently they were aware of the planned air attacks and used that knowledge to their internal American political strategic advantage. The Neocons?

It is absurd to think that WTC 7 collapsed as a result of the events, as generally promoted, surrounding September 11. - - - - It is indeed depressing to observe that a large number of United States citizens didn't even know that WTC 7 even existed.

The WTC Building 7 collapse is simply not explained by the 'official' NIST account. For a simultaneous, global collapse to occur through multiple materials and structural elements, an externally initiated, catastrophic force must have been instantaneously applied across the entire building support mechanism. This needs further investigation and those responsible brought to account.

I believe it is impossible for the three buildings to collapse in an identical form to what is achieved by pulling the building, as is the jargon used by demolition experts. I'm sure that if we could develop the perfect lie-detector it would be of value to interview President Bush, Rumsfeld and others who were involved in operations at a high level. Perhaps now that sufficient time has elapsed for people to be less intimidated, we could have a more meaningful investigation.

As a Canadian I must admit that I fear the U.S. (and its allies) and their agendas more than I fear terrorists. I don't believe governments or special power groups are smart enough to pull off a 9/11 event without disclosure and leaks - but something terrible is a amiss. If you look at the major decisions coming out of your Obama administration, many of them defy logic and seem incredibly suicidal almost. There is a sinister agenda being executed and we must expose it.

I actually worked at the World Trade Center Tower 2 back in the '80's and when I turned on the TV that dreadful morning of Sept. 11th the first thing I thought of were all of the workers in the basement and sub-basement levels. I was an Executive Chef working for Inhilco back in the '80's and spent many hours below the street levels ordering foods and designing my menus based on what was in season. To date, I have heard nothing of the potentially 100's of people working there who were incinerated in these rarely spoken about Explosions in the sub-basement levels. After trying to avoid looking at the horrible truth, I now have to admit that I am NO LONGER asleep. Of course these buildings were BROUGHT DOWN by controlled demolitions. And the amount of sophistication to pull it off had to have taken A MINIMUM of 9 months to a year to put into place. Elevator upgrades?? I think not!! That (The elevator renovation) cover supplied the context for which the Super Nano Thermite Gels and dry explosives were slowly put in to place over the period of...many...we will never know for sure...months...so that once placed this False Flag Terriorist operation could just play out, giving the Bush dynasty it's Gulf of Tonkin to proceed into WAR.

I graduated high school in 1959. Attended Milwaukee Area Technology College for 1 1/2 years unfortunately I didn't get a degree, although I do have honors from the college of hard knocks. I was opened to learning the hard way and at 73 years young I have a wealth of experiences that have taught me to seek knowledge, because knowledge is power. Power to trust in myself and question what people say. I am all for education, although in my opinion education some- times prevents a person from seeking knowledge above and beyond their degree. Being an expert in a certain field can somewhat limit a person's willingness to be open minded. A doctor refuses to learn about nutrition because medicine cures everything.
I saw the whole 9/11 event on TV, although I wondered how a steel building could begun dust in such a short time. I did have my doubts because it did appear to me to be a controlled demolition like the documentaries on the Discovery Channel, that showed how the experts exploded buildings in Las Vegas.I'm 73 years young and consider myself very cynical of the news in all the medias. We don't get the truth, we only get what these agencies want to feeds us. I question everything until what I hear has a ring of truth. Too much of what WAS REPORTED ON 9/11 just didn't meet the logical test in my thinking. I did watch the AE9/11 video and was convinced by the information the engineers reported as an impossibility. A steel building even if hits by two airplanes cannot fall into its own footprint in a matter of seconds. The building exploded, how, who knows, the fact remains two airplanes could not have cause the event of 9/11.

From the first viewing of the destruction on that day, I knew no buildings would ever collapse due to the damage involved. The 'story' given by the government did not hold water, especially as it had been on alert for terrorism throughout the Clinton administration. Too many coincidences and timely defensive failures to stand up to any scrutiny.

The events on Sept. 11, 2001 and conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report resulted in dramatic changes to our national foreign policy and individual rights. These include the extensive and prolonged military actions and undeclared wars in multiple foreign countries, our personal privacy rights, rights to trial and various monetary freedoms.Many contradictions and questions remain regarding the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report. It is of the utmost importance that these be publicly examined and resolved.

It is so obvious that these buildings came down via controlled demolition. That means that pre planning of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 were a necessity. My father was a research chemist and metallurgist so science came very easily for me.

The World Trade Center destruction has many unanswered questions, which deserve a thorough investigation by unbiased, impartial engineering, construction, demolition, forensic, and other pertinent professionals. All eyewitness statements need to be included in the investigation, and all the proof thoroughly examined. An exact reconstruction of the events before, during and after 9/11 needs to be reconstructed, in order to arrive at a scientific conclusion of the actual events that took place.

It's been obvious to me this building was destroyed by explosives. Plenty of witnesses and plenty of videos on the tube. Same goes for the other buildings. No good explanation was ever given for why vertical columns gave no resistance to their disappearance. Their vertical integrity can't just fall apart due to weight. This should be obvious. This goes for all 3 buildings. The towers were built with 236 close knit (only 26 inches apart for windows) continuous columns so were like like cans and the inner core of 47 columns made the towers like a can within a can. Can the upper weight of a can crush into pieces the lower portion of a can? Would pancaking of horizontal floors even be possible? No. Not without a force to separate the vertical integrity of the solid continuous vertical strength and support. Just a month or two after the event and re-watching the collapses it just seemed fishy to me and so early on with a little investigation I saw that I was not the only one that questioned the 'collapse'. Plenty of evidence that MOSSAD was involved. I really wish our elected officials would take a close look at the evidence.

I have been involved with construction enough to know a building that has steel reinforcement capable of withstanding a tornado doesn't just fall straight down to the ground without a planned and engineered demolition.
The conclusion is obvious to me. It was a controlled demolition on all three buildings. Building #6 was hit as well, but only on the center portion of the building.

The Towers fell like there was an implosion with perhaps the use of thermite. I have never understood why this was never fully investigated especially since engineers have said it was impossible for just the impact to bring them down.
