I also thought his account was a little melodramatic.The bit were he says he was dangling from a pole on the stairwell I thought was over the top.

C'mon, own up. This is ridiculous.

I'd prefer to focus on Barry Jennings' unanswered question at the end of the video.

"Why that building collapsed in the first place?"

I'd rather not be DISTRACTED with trivial questions like why Mr. Jennings "never mentions breaking the window with a fire extinguisher to cry for help".

The point about concerns here are not that they distract, but that they tend to discredit him overall. Asking why the building collapsed isn't unique to supporting demolition.

Chapter 24 of Dr. Griffin's new books clears most of this up, its the chapter on WTC 7.

9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press
http://www.amazon.com/11-Contradictions-Letter-Congress-Press/dp/1566567...

In the book, Griffin discovered that Jennings did his 9/11 interview a half mile from WTC 7 at 11:34 AM!

When Jennings went back up to the 8th floor after the explosion, he looked out the windows and saw the towers.

WTC 6 is only 9 stories tall, he could see the towers above that.

Jennings said he couldn't run because of his knees, not that he couldn't stand up and do a TV interview.

There is video of the broken window, so it doesn't matter if he mentions it in every interview.

Jennings said the 2nd plane hit when he was on the 23rd floor.

Jennings left WTC 7 after the 2nd tower fell. He said the firemen were trying to get him at the time of the first collapse, then came back, then the 2nd tower collapsed, and then they got him after that. So he was rescued after 10:28, but before 11:34, probably around 11 AM.

A lot of this stuff is analyzed here:

NIST exploring 9/11 conspiracy theory for WTC-7
http://twilightpines.com//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=113&...

Other points of interest:

The explosion felt by Jennings is near the area where NIST says "critical failure" of the building occurred. The area is also directly below the "kink" and the east penthouse. It is near the area of the FEMA hotspots, and is near the area where the fire was seen in on floor # 7 from the north face of WTC 7, on the east half.

Jennings was in the east stairwell, which is near the east end of the core and on the north edge of the core.

Thank you for your reasoned answer. As for the remainder of the comments, you do the truth movement little good by using the tactics of the OCT supporters - attack the messanger, ingore the message.

1) The issue I have with your response is the following: Exactly were did Griffen get his information? Is there an extended interview with Mr. Jennings where he confirms all of this information? Certainly even I can come up with a timeline like this to support almost any conclusion, that hardly makes it factual.

2) Mr. Jennings says he crawled, not me.

3) Is Mr. Jennings impling that the escalators were damaged? They look fine the video.
4) Where is the massive damage Mr. Jennings is talking about - its not in the video.
5) Where are the bodies Mr. Jennings is talking about - their not in the video either.

Now, before I get hammered here -- if you can't handle questions from the truther - how are you going to handle questions for the other side? If there are easy answers - please provide. Otherwise, keep you attacks to yourself.

in a court of law, by way of an independent investigation into 9/11. I think we can all agree with that. Let the world hear Richard Gage's answer to Barry Jennings original question: "why that building fell in the first place?".

focusing on minutia that is immaterial & which has been exaggerated in importance by yourself.

1.) If you were that close to the Towers sight was not required to know when they came down. Even a blind AND deaf person would have known.

2.) Seems like you are trying to make two points here so...
a.) Expressing disbelief is not really an argument. A lot of incredible things happened that day.
b.) In both videos he is standing in one place. People with knee problems can often stand with no problem. It is walking that is difficult.

3.) Watch more eye witness testimony, or try giving some yourself. You will see that when people recount traumatic events, different points seem worth mentioning at different times. Behind every first hand account of that day there is a huge backstory with tons of detail. It is often difficult to tell what is worth mentioning and what is not crucially relevant.

Barry Jennings deserves to be heard. He should be supported as much as possible by the '9/11 truth movement'. Leave it to the 'debunkers' to come up spurious arguments, they will.

Credibility does not derive from the fact that he is a NYS Employee (one of 1.2 million). Credibility comes from being consistent and providing information that is accurate. When he includes elements that seem very unlikely to have occured (dangling from pipes, crawling to safety, first-responders not helping him), his credibility is deminished. So based on the facts known and putting aside the completely irrelevent fact that he is a NYS employee, Mr. Jenning's credibility is subject to questioning. However, is is obvious that he was there and did experience some events. I'm just not convinced based on the available "testimony" that infact the explosions occured before the tower(s) fell.

I have tremendous admiration for people like the Loose Change crew or Alex Jones or Jack Blood or the Scientists and Architects and Engineers or Scholars or many on Blogger, because they go do the grunt work of research.

When people get critical of how someone else has done research or conducted themselves, my response is "Well, go do what they did." Everyone has the opportunity. Go perform a similar activity. Then comment.
~~~~~~~~~~
If one does not thoroughly LOOK, the TRUTH is not visible.

Jennings is a New York State employee who was called into the emergency bunker the minute the planes hit the towers. That's an extremely privileged and respected position of authority, hence extremely credible. Wake the f#@k up and listen to WHO is saying WHAT. Using your rationale, that fact that Norman Minetta was Sec of Transportation and in the White House on 9/11 doesn't make HIM credible. Is that what you're saying?

The official statement that "no one died in WTC 7" is very important for the coverup. If no one died there, then there is less attention paid to WTC 7. The coverup in unravelling. If you remember the initial news reports on WTC 7, they all make a big deal that it had been evacuated and no one died there.

Yeah- thats what I thought the importance of this statement was.

But if there *was* a triage there, they could use that as an excuse about "bodies," even if it's unlikely EMTs would have left them there. That point should be clarified before any other assumptions are made based on a triage not being there.

At approximately 9:30 a.m., FDNY, EMS established a Division for assisting victims at WTC 7.372 An EMS triage center was
established in the lobby of WTC 7 as occupants from WTC 1 and WTC 6 evacuated through WTC 7.373
At approximately 9:44 a.m., after the report of a third aircraft heading into the city and news that the
Pentagon had been attacked, a Deputy OEM Commissioner ordered the complete evacuation of WTC 7.
(Sheirer 2004) This order included the evacuation of the OEM operations center on the 23rd floor. The
loss of the OEM operations center created difficulties related to the coordination of emergency responder
operations and resources.374 Before the OEM operations center was evacuated, OEM had assigned
personnel to work with each of the emergency responder command posts. This reduced the impact of the
loss of the WTC 7 OEM office. (See Chapter 8.) Occupants evacuating from WTC 7 used both the
elevators and stairways as they left the building.375 Shortly after WTC 7 was evacuated, the FDNY Fire
Commissioner arrived, looking for the Mayor who he believed to be at the OEM center on the 23rd floor.
A guard met the Commissioner in the lobby and ordered him and his staff out of the building. The guard
told him, “This building has been evacuated.” and that “OEM, the mayor, they’re all gone.”

Here's footage of the interior of WTC7 after the first tower collapsed:

___________________________________________________________
Please watch my movie: The Third Tower

good find. I can't find my source on the alleged WTC 7 triage online, I might have read it in a book, it will come to me.

Its important to note that Barry Jennings was in the WTC 7 lobby at around 11 AM.

So is the government claiming that they left the dead bodies there in the lobby when it was evacuated?

it's far more damaged that I'd expect.

The south tower collapsed first, and it was at least 600 feet away from WTC-7, with WTC-5 & WTC-6 also in between! So why was there so much damage to WTC-7 at that point in time?

1) What proof do you have that this was after the first tower collapse? The header on the video states 12:28. Why couldn't it have been after the second tower collapse. There is no timestamp on the video.
2) Lots of damage? Aside from a few broken windows and lots of paper/dust I see no indication of massive damage in the lobby.
3) One of the windows has broken glass that appears to be angled "in", as oppose to "out" as one might expect from an interior explosion.

Again, a lot of conclusions, but were is the backup?

Is it that hard to ask him directly if the explosions and damage came before the towers collapsed? Its the duty of the interviewer to repeatedly ask him this smoking gun question, this interview is a mess and will be written off by debunkers simply because the smoking gun question was not clearly asked.......it should have been asked several times .............did the explosions and damage happen before the collapses?
