9/11 Survivor's Account and Investigation

Well, me and Mr. Hess, the corporation counsel,

were on the 23rd floor.

I told him we gotta get, get out of here. We started walking down the stairs.

We made it to the eighth floor.

Big explosion blew us back into the eighth floor,

and I turned to Hess. I, I said, "This is it. We're dead.

We're, we're not gonna make it out of here."

In 2001, Barry Jennings was the deputy director of emergency

services for the New York City Housing Authority.

After the first plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 AM on the morning of 9/11,

Jennings was called to the city's Office of Emergency Management in World Trade

Center Building 7, along with Corporation Counsel Michael

Hess, to help

coordinate the emergency response.

Hours later, World Trade Center Building 7,

also known as the Salomon

Brothers Building, collapsed at free fall acceleration

directly into the

path of most resistance. After seven years of investigation, the

National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, determined that the

building had not come down due to explosives or controlled demolition,

as many

alleged, or due to structural damage from the

collapse of the Twin Towers,

an explosion in the building's fuel oil systems, or any of the other

suggestions that had been put forward and retracted by NIST over the course of

its

investigation. In September 2008, just as NIST was presenting its

final report concluding that WTC 7 had spontaneously collapsed

from

ordinary office fires, it was reported that Barry Jennings had

passed away

in hospital the month before. No further details of his death

were offered.

Dylan Avery, seeking to bring closure to Barry

Jennings' life, answer

questions about his death, and honor the bravery of a 9/11 survivor

who

spoke the truth even when it was unpopular, hired a private

investigator to determine the circumstances of Jennings' death.

In a remarkable and bizarre turn of events, however, after pursuing the

case, the investigator referred the matter to

the police,

refunded his fee, and told Avery never to contact him again.

To this day, no time or cause of death of Barry Jennings has

ever been

publicly announced or confirmed.

The man stepped over bodies. We know that happened.

He and Hess both talked about internal explosions.

That building housed the CIA, the Secret Service, the

SEC.

I'm just confused about one thing, and one thing only.

Why World Trade Center 7 went down in the first place.

I'm very confused about that. I know what I heard.

I heard explosions
