The Barry Jenning's timeline as described in his own testimony is in serious conflict with the timeline that NIST has assigned to him.

This is how NIST tells it.

[from NIST at: http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1-8.pdf
With the collapse of the two towers, a New York City employee and a WTC 7 building staff person became trapped inside of WTC 7. The two had gone to the OEM center on the 23rd floor and found no one there. As they went to get into an elevator to go downstairs the lights inside of WTC 7 flickered as WTC 2 collapsed. At this point, the elevator they were attempting to catch no longer worked, so they started down the staircase. When they got to the 6th floor, WTC 1 collapsed, the lights went out in the staircase, the sprinklers came on briefly, and the staircase filled with smoke and debris. The two men went back to the 8th floor broke out a window and called for help. Firefighters on the ground saw them and went up the stairs. In addition, a security officer for one of the businesses in the building was also was trapped on the 7th floor by the smoke in the stairway. As the firefighters went up, they vented the stairway and cleared some of the smoke. They first met the security officer on the 7th floor and firefighters escorted him down the stairs. Other firefighters from the group continued up the stairs, shined their flashlight through the staircase smoke and called out. The two trapped men on the 8th floor saw the flashlight beam and heard the firefighters calling and went down the stairway. The firefighters took the men outside and directed them away from the building.

NIST claims that Barry Jennings and Michael Hess upon leaving the OEM center on the 23rd floor, went to the elevators in an attempt to make their exit.

Barry Jennings makes no reference to the elevator, stating that Michael Hess came to him in a rush, saying they were alone, had to go, and that Hess found a stairwell which they used to make their exit attempt. Note that previously, they were escorted to the 23rd floor by NYPD and WTC7 Security using a freight elevator.

NIST claims that as they were getting into the elevator, the lights flickered as WTC2 collapsed (0958) and that, the elevator no longer worked, so they took the staircase instead.

Barry Jennings said that when they reached the 6th floor stairwell landing, there was an explosion and the landing gave way.

NIST claims that when Jennings and Hess got to the 6th floor, that WTC1 collapsed (10:28:22) and that as a result, the lights went out in the staircase, the sprinklers came on briefly and that the staircase filled with smoke and debris.

Barry Jennings states that he and Michael Hess returned to the 8th floor. The lights were out on the 8th floor. He broke an 8th floor window on the Northwest side of WTC7.

Barry said that he couldn't stand the heat any longer and was going to attempt an escape down a fire hose. Firefighters called to him to stop because it wasn't safe. Shortly thereafter, the firefighters ran from the scene and because of Barry's obstructed view, he didn't immediately know the reason for their retreat.

As WTC2 collapsed, it became obvious why the firefighters had fled with such haste.

Barry states that he observed the firefighters return and then flee the scene a second time, followed by the collapse of WTC1.

Barry Jennings states later in the LCFC uncut interview, that his certainty about witnessing the collapses of both WTC Twin Towers was based on his observations from that 8th floor location.

In response to Dylan Avery's point that people referring to the 6th floor staircase landing collapse were "going to say "Barry was hit by debris from the North Tower", Barry argues that it couldn't have occurred then for these reasons;

"as I told you earlier, both buildings were still standing because I looked one way, looked the other way..now there's nothing there."

[meaning, nothing there, as in he saw no evidence of the towers having collapsed.]

"Keep in mind, I told you the fire department came..and ran.
They came twice.
Why?
Because building tower 1 fell and then tower 2 fell."


NIST, while clearly aware of Barry's recollections up until his return to the 8th floor of WTC7, including his calling out through the broken window, acknowledge nothing further about what happened to Jennings and Hess until they were rescued.

In keeping with their timeline, NIST states that Barry called for help and that the firefighters, who based on NIST's theory, were no longer under the collapse threat of the Twin Towers, immediately set about working their way up the WTC7 stairwell to rescue him and Michael Hess.

Barry Jennings, was at the 8th floor location for a few hours and had a good view of WTC7's surroundings to the north, east and west, before and after his experience of the two collapses.

If, as NIST states, Barry viewed the scene from his position on the WTC7 8th floor, NE face, after the collapses, he could not have observed any collapse-related debris and dust cloud destruction dramatically occurring during the time that he was there.

How can NIST explain this away?

Barry himself said when he got home, he was glued to the WTC TV coverage. He would have then, and in the years since, seen what those collapses looked like on TV and how they enshrouded WTC7 in their debris clouds.

NIST says that Barry could not have witnessed this.

Barry Jennings has no motive for disagreeing with NIST other than standing by the truth as he recalls it.

NIST on the other hand, has a big problem fitting into their theory, a very destructive explosion occurring below the 6th floor of WTC7 prior to the collapses of the WTC Twin Towers.
