We tried to—we had a few people we had to push our way through to start in the building the other time, and possibly didn't run quite so fast at first.
Mr. Belin. Would you say that again?
Mr. Truly. I said when the officer and I ran in, we were shouldering people aside in front of the building, so we possibly were slowed a little bit more coming in than we were when he and I came in March 20th. I don't believe so. But it wouldn't be enough to matter there.
Mr. Belin. Would you say that the reconstruction that we did on March 20th was a minimum or a maximum time?
Mr. Truly. Oh, I would say that would be the minimum time.
Mr. Belin. Mr. Truly, when you took the elevator to the fifth—from the fifth to the seventh floor, that east elevator did you see the west elevator at all as you passed the sixth floor, when you got to the seventh floor?
Mr. Truly. No, sir; because—I could not see the west elevator while operating the east elevator.
Mr. Belin. You mean because you were not looking at it, or you just couldn't see it?
Mr. Truly. Well, the back of the east elevator is solid metal, and if I passed—yes; I could. I beg your pardon.
I could see it from the fifth floor. I didn't notice it anywheres up there. I wasn't really looking for it, however.
