Will the Truth Come Out About Building 7?By Andrew Steele and AE911Truth Staff Editor's note: If you would like to help the 2,000+ architects and engineers at AE911Truth and other supporters in their efforts to educate the public about, and hold our elected representatives accountable for, the truth about the destruction of the World Trade Center Skyscrapers, please read about our new campaign at ReThink911.org to see what you can do. The television station C-SPAN in Washington DC performs a great service to the American people by making members of Congress accessible to them through its morning call-in show, Washington Journal.
On August 1st of this year, when Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida appeared as a guest on the show, a caller asked the following question: “Congressman Grayson, since you’re fully aware that government institutions don’t always give the full story when it comes to important issues, why aren’t you standing by the nearly two thousand building experts demanding a new investigation of Building 7? There’s overwhelming evidence that explosives were used to bring it down.” Grayson gave this simple, straight-forward answer: “Now that bin Laden is dead, and now that 9/11 is a decade behind us and more, I think that a good argument could be made that the documents that the federal government has regarding the 9/11 attacks should be declassified, and then the truth will come out.” "The documents that the federal government has regarding the 9/11 attacks should be declassified, and then the truth will come out.” -- Alan Grayson (D-FL)Grayson’s candid reply connecting Building 7 to the events of that day, even though the caller didn’t actually refer to 9/11/2001, provides another reason to question the honesty or competence of other federal legislators who react as if they don’t know anything about Building 7 and only want to talk about the Twin Towers when 9/11 is mentioned. While it’s unclear whether Grayson was referring to specific documents or all classified information related to 9/11, it is clear that the federal government needs to declassify and release far more information about the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7. One example is NIST’s refusal to release the input data for its Building 7 computer models, which was used in its investigation of that building’s destruction. (See Alan Grayson is correct to support transparency from the federal government with regard to the 9/11 events, given the weight of those events and the impact they have had on the United States and the rest of the world. A “government of the people, by the people and for the people” should not fear releasing details about an event that devastated so many lives over a decade ago. CSPAN’s Washington Journal The Twin Towers and Building 7 were the first and only steel-framed, high-rise buildings ever alleged to collapse because of fire, yet no building codes were changed as a result. Withholding such information from the public poses a greater safety risk than full transparency ever could. The ongoing, inexplicable cover-up of this important technical data has greatly undermined our national security by stoking loss of public trust and diminishing confidence in our federal government.
