Well Barry clearly said he broke "windows", and you keep claiming it was "only one window".
In my book that means someone is lying.
This is a very cheap shot, MM, as I never claimed that he only broke out one window! Instead I referenced an interview by Jennings given on 9/11/2001 where JENNINGS stated, that he broke a window and not two or more windows. To the best of my knowledge "window" is singular and "windows" is plural.
But feel free to bring actual evidence, that Jennings broke out at least another window.
Barry was there and knew what actions he took.
Well, it seems he didn't know "what actions he took" in 2007.

A floor in WTC7 has an area roughly the size of a football field.
You can see in the NIST Figure 5-95 above that the stairs were well away from both the WTC1 debris damaged area, and the NE corner (upper right), where they called for help through one of the windows Barry Jennings broke.
This image only shows the "removed columns and floor segments", it doesn't show the distribution of the debris. And that's why it doesn't support your claim.
Yes they exited the stairs on the north side but that gives you no basis for claiming they were trapped on the north side.
They were "trapped" inside WTC7, and on the north side.
If they weren't trapped on the north side, why didn't Jennings and Hess walk around to the south side of the building, where they would have the perfect view to the twin towers?
[Why would the firemen suddenly feel compelled to run away -- twice?
Chaotic situation after the collapse of both towers, getting new orders, etc.
Obviously Barry could not see the start of each top down collapse if he was talking to firefighters on the north side of WTC7 at that time.
He should have heard the collapse, he should have noticed the vibrations generated by the collapsing buildings, he should have noticed the dust clouds generated by the buildings. But he doesn't build up his account on such things, instead he only mentions the firemen.
It is absolutely absurd to assume that because Barry didn't recount the obvious (the vibration, the dust, the noise etc.), following the firemen running, that he never experienced them.
No, your assumption is absurd! It is not only absurd, it isn't backed up by actual evidence, too. He didn't tell anything in the LC interview and he didn't mention this in the interview on 9/11/2001. And it is quite obvious why he didn't say anything about this: The collapse of WTC 1 trapped Jennings and Hess in the building, so Jennings could never have witnessed the collapse of WTC 1 oder WTC 2.
What remaining major event would compel Barry Jennings and Michael Hess to seek protection under a desk, if WTC1 had already collapsed earlier in the day?
Where does Jennings state this? The only part in the LC interview that could refer to this is:
Mike, you better get under the desk and pray to who you gonna pray to, because I'm gonna pray to who I'm gonna pray to, because it doesn't look like we're gonna make it.
Even if Jennings timeline would be correct, which isn't the case, a possible collapse of WTC 1 or WTC 2 wouldm't be the cause of this actions, as Jennings stated:
And then there was the firemen that shined the lights and saying "is there anybody in here?" Those were the sweetest words I ever heard. "Is there anybody in here?" And at that time, I told Mike "Mike, you better get under the desk and pray to who you gonna pray to, because I'm gonna pray to who I'm gonna pray to, because it doesn't look like we're gonna make it. And that's when the firemen came and saved our lives."
So Jennings said that only a short time before his rescue, and that means that it was well after the collapse of WTC 1 even in Jennings (incorrect) timeline.
