The relatively low-key civil engineer Roland Angle has succeeded architect Richard Gage as president of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth following Gage’s removal by the organization’s board of directors shortly before the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
(Some of Gage’s views expressed in the final segment of Spike Lee’s documentary minseries for HBO, “NYC Epicenters: 9/11 – 2021½,” and subsequent predictable news-media outrage [see HERE] had resulted in Lee’s shortening the segment, embarrassing AE911Truth, and lessening its hoped-for anniversary bump.)
As noted over the weekend (HERE), Angle spoke with 9/11 Free Fall* host Andy Steele for half an hour last week. Headlined “Engineer Roland Angle: The official 9/11 narrative cannot be allowed to stand,” the interview was intended in part to refute what Steele termed a “hit piece” in a publication called Design World, and in part to give Angle some more exposure as AE911Truth’s new leader. He previously appeared in the organization’s documentary “Experts Speak Out” (HERE) and has headed its ongoing Project Due Diligence effort to attract support from engineers.
Once introduced by Steele, Angle gave this account of his background:
”I graduated from Cal in ’64, and I had majored in civil engineering, very excellent school, excellent instructors at that time. I was in the honor society, Chi Epsilon Engineering Society, and after I graduated, I joined the army and was trained in special forces. I joined the 19the Special Forces Group. And during that training, one of the things that I was trained in was the use of explosives. We were using C4 plastic explosives, teaching us how to disable vehicles and structures using the explosives at strategic points in their structure.
”After I got out of the army, I went to work for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and I was working on their flood control structures, large canals, worked on the Carson Canal and also with their concrete inverts and structures that they were placing at that time to ensure that the Los Angeles Basin was not inundated with floods as they had been in the past. They have quite an extensive flood control system there.
”So, after I left the Flood Control District, I went to work for the Ralph and Parsons Company, and they were the contractors that designed the launch control facilities for the Minuteman missile system. So I was a field engineer at first, went to the air bases where the missile silos and launch control facilities were being constructed in North and South Dakota and Montana.
”And after that, I came back home. My son was born, and I decided to go into teaching, and I left engineering, for the time being, went into teaching high school students the subjects of mathematics, physics, drafting, and the trades that were involved in construction. And after I finished that stint, I went back to engineering, worked for an engineering firm in Marin County, and we did a lot of development works, laying out development, subdivisions, all the infrastructure that was associated with that, roads retaining walls, train systems, and so on.
“And then I went to work for Jordan Woodman Dobson, which was an architectural engineering firm. And Mike Jordan has designed about half of the cargo cranes in the world. And so I got a good education there with the facilities for loading and unloading cargo ships, terminal facilities.
”And then I left that firm and formed my own construction company with a partner. And we did mostly light commercial and construction remodels. And after five years, he went into business with his daughter. I continued on, formed a corporation, small corporation and operated in Southern and Northern California and Nevada.
”Then when the crash hit in 2008 and pretty much all work stopped in my area. And I closed the corporation down, went to work for myself as a sole proprietor and ran that business until 2015, when I closed it and retired.
“And at that time, I came on board with the Board at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, sat on the board and have since then until Richard left earlier this year. And the board asked me to assume the position of CEO, which I have agreed to do.”
