I believe so, parts of WTC2 did hit WTC7, although only on low floors and it is unclear what sort of damage they caused. There's quite a few accounts of people talking about the lobby of WTC 7 being pretty beaten up after the collapse, and there's been video posted here before of all the glass windows broken out etc. I really can't give you any firm answers, because so much of it is speculation. I don't want to seem callous or insensitive, but there's a very real chance Mr Jennings was mistaken. The only event we have any sort of confirmation of happening between the times he entered and exited the building was the south tower collapse. We know that all the events he describes after the explosion are also consistent with occuring after the south tower collapse, excepting of course the south tower standing. There's also a very real question of timing, a good estimate for when the OEM was evacuated would be about 9:30, that leaves only 29 minutes before the south tower collapse. Of course he could be right, and some explosive could have gone off and caused the landing collapse, but it seems unlikely that it was never recorded on any broadcasts (there were various journalists at ground level around WTC2) nor mentioned in any of the accounts from people in the building nor corroborated by anything I am aware of. I would love to hear his account in full, and have the chance to ask him a couple of questions about it, but for now I have to apply Occam's Razor as I see it. |
