So this film got delayed quite a bit in coming out. I believe they intended a release earlier in the summer or just before the anniversary.
Now that I've seen it, and how short it is, I'm confused and a little suspicious. I think they may have cut some things that really should have been included.
For example, there is no mention of Barry Jennings or any clips from interviews with him. I find this to be a glaring omission. Was that a conscious decision not to include his testimony?
Very disappointing and worrying in my opinion. The film is only 45 mins long, so running long could not have been a concern.
The only mention of explosions heard in WTC7 comes inadvertently in the end, as a reference in the lyrics of the rap song that plays as the credits roll.
The explosions are not even the most intriguing part of Jenning's testimony though IMO.
The most damning part of his testimony is how he said that when he arrived on the floor of the control center, everyone had already vacated the place. And when he called someone to ask WTF, that person told him to get the hell out of the building.
Instead, in the film, the only mention of fore-knowledge of the building collapsing comes from a casual statement from an alleged fire-fighter related by Indira Singh, and then the media, likely relaying those rumors heard on the ground that day.
Why do they use this clip, instead of Jennings much more damning and compelling testimony? This is very troubling.
