I don't think there are any jumpers from Tower 7?
I think almost all, if not all, come out of the North Tower.
I think by explosions he means relating to Tower 7, the one not hit by a plane at all, that Jennings was in. That said, there are claims of explosions in the Twins but that is not something even fooling with and won't unless re-study the whole thing and read those reports (standards would require it).
Well, he's specifically referencing firefighters flinching in response to "explosions". I posted the only video I've ever seen that has that. Waiting on him to post his video documenting what he's talking about that is different from the one I posted.
Start at 17:07.
I've given this video a fair shot, and if this is what you guys are relying on, then I really feel sorry for you. A third grader can pick this apart.
I won't go through all of my issues with it, but my favorite unrealistic part is the janitor talking to a crowd of people years later claiming all the fire fighters had given up and he knew he had to take over.
He also, during this time of supposedly taking over for the NYPD, found the time to find a phone in a random office and call his mom long distance to Puerto Rico (I guess he magically knew that company's info to make a call like that?). During all of this time he was hearing explosions, according to him, which is what the loony tunes people like about him.
And, of course, there's the general vibe of the video that looks like it has the production value of a homemade video from 1984.
You guys honestly hang your hat on this *****
If you find a better video, I'll watch it, just like I did this one. And I'll go into it open-minded. But don't post this Mickey Mouse *****
I referenced that video for evidence of explosions, at 17:07.
Funny though, that janitor you're making fun of is Willie Rodriguez. W awarded him a medal for his heroism on 9/11. He saved many lives by unlocking stairwells on as many floors as he could so that people could get out.
So I'm not sure what your point is except that it's wrong.
My point is that his story has major flaws. I don't doubt he's a hero and saved lives and he should be rewarded for that (I also didn't make fun of him, I made fun of you for believing this **** video); but that doesn't mean I need to take his story (parts of which are implausible) at face value like you have in thinking this is a big conspiracy.
And I have no doubt he unlocked doors. He's the only guy with a key. But I am skeptical that scores of NYFD guys just took their gear off, laid down, and let the janitor take over, which is what he says.
