Slide #4 - Engineers Petition

Number of Engineers

In this slide, the number of engineers is even smaller than the number of architects listed on the last! There are only 4 here, but Gage has managed to get 38 to sign up at the website (as of 17 October 2007).

In September 2006, membership of the American Society of Civil Engineers was just under 140,000. Again, I will mention that not all the members of the ASCE have positively stated their opinion of the WTC collapses. I only mean to show that the members of AE911Truth have a long way to go in convincing their fellow members about their suspicions.

And again I say that Gage has not revealed the number of people who have heard his presentation and not signed his petition.

Types of Engineers

It should be noted that all engineers are not created equal. Engineers come in many different specialities.

And a look at the Architects & Engineers roster shows this clearly. Of the licensed engineers that have filled out profiles, there is a sewer and street designer, a specialist in solar energy and housing, a fire protection engineer, another energy engineer, water resourses and management, a computer engineer, an asbestos consultant, hazardous waste management, industrial wastewater, computer network engineer, process engineering in the natural gas industry, and a chemical engineer. Clearly all of these people cannot be speaking in their field of expertise here.

Gage does list two structural engineers on his page, however. It would be interesting to hear why they alone of their thousands of colleagues have fallen for this presentation, because I will demonstrate that no one should.

As on the last slide, an appeal to large numbers can be just as fallacious as an appeal to authority. The crucial test is in the way that facts are recognized and interpreted. It is there that either the 38 or the 140,000 will be vindicated. As I will show, the 140,000 have nothing to worry about.
