William Rodriguez, is a native of Puerto Rico, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the State of New Jersey. On September 11, 2001, and for approximately nineteen years prior thereto, Rodriguez was employed as a maintenance worker at the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York, New York. On 9/11, Rodriguez single-handedly rescued fifteen (15) persons from the WTC, and as Rodriguez was the only person at the site with the master key to the North Tower stairwells, he bravely led firefighters up the stairwell, unlocking doors as they ascended, thereby aiding in the successful evacuation of unknown hundreds of those who survived. Rodriguez, at great risk to his own life, re-entered the Towers three times after the first, North Tower impact at about 8:46 A.M., and is believed to be the last person to exit the North Tower alive, surviving the building's collapse by diving beneath a fire truck. After receiving medical attention at the WTC site for his injuries, Rodriguez spent the rest of 9/11 aiding as a volunteer in the rescue efforts, and at dawn the following morning, was back at Ground Zero continuing his heroic efforts. Rodriguez lost his employment of 19 years and his means of earning a living as a direct result of the attacks on the WTC on 9/11. Deeply affected, as one might imagine, by his experiences of 9/11, Rodriguez has, in a variety of capacities and through several different organizations, worked ever since that terrible day to help others who were affected by the atrocities committed. He has continued in these labors, notwithstanding the fact that, due to the loss of his employment, he has been unable to earn a living, and was even homeless for a time. (1 image)

I've seen several videos of Rodriguez and he's very credible.

His is certain that explosions took place low in the WTC before the first plane hit.

His info is among the wealth of info that day which clearly contradict the official story. It is some consolation knowing that one day, Bill Curtis will deliver the voice over to THE MEN WHO ORCHESTRATED 9-11, like THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY.

The shadow government has been killing in its own name for at least 4 decades, and 9-11 was simply the latest and most spectacular event.

Actually, that's not what he's said.

BAC, Rodriguez says he witnessed more than one explosion. The first one he says happened about 8-10 seconds BEFORE the first plane impact. You're not even familiar with what Rodriguez says and you're tearing him down.

The first one he says happened about 8-10 seconds BEFORE the first plane impact.

What do you do, Red? Just make up numbers to put into your sentences so they sound more significant? Here is a direct quote from Rodriguez:

http://www.studyof911.com/articles/BsB100106/ "On 9/11, on 8:46, I was at the basement of the North Tower, the first tower to be impacted, the second one to fall. While I was there, a second or two before the plane hit, there was a huge explosion on the sublevel B2 to sublevel B3."

Now if it had really been 8 - 10 seconds, one might be more troubled by Rodriguez's claim. But given all the excitement that day, given all that happened to Rodriguez that day, and given where Rodriguez was located at the time the plane hit (in the basement), I really doubt that he can know for certain that a second or two before the plane hit, there was an explosion in the basement.

He went on to say

"And when I went to verbalize it, we heard the impact of the plane, very far away, coming from the top. So there was a big difference of something coming from the top and something coming from the basement. I mean I worked there for 20 years, I could tell the difference of one thing coming from each side."

The problem is that Rodriguez does not understand sound transmission or the transmission of vibrations. He'd be shocked to find out how fast a blast wave travels (say through an elevator shaft from the impact level to the basement) compared to the speed of sound through air (either inside or outside the building to his location). He'd be shocked to find out how slowly (in comparison to the blast through an elevator) the horizontal oscillations of the structure are transferred from the impact point to the basement.

Now witness testimony tends to change over time, especially when much has happened in the interim and other motives begin to affect the witness' account.

Do you know that initially (on 9/11, in fact, in an interview with CNN) Rodriguez said the following ( http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/11/new.york.terror/ ): "We heard a loud rumble, then all of a sudden we heard another rumble like someone moving a whole lot of furniture," Rodriguez said. "And then the elevator opened and a man came into our office and all of his skin was off."

There are some subtle but important differences between that account and the one he's telling now. Perhaps he began elaborating once he became a sought after speaker and a plaintiff in a lawsuit?

And many facts are being left out of this story by those pushing Rodriguez as a whistleblower. For example, look at these details about the man with burned skin who came into the office where Rodriguez was immediately afterwards ...

http://www.theconservativevoice.com/articles/article.html?id=7762 "A fellow worker Felipe David came into the office. "He had been standing in front of a freight elevator on sub-level 1 about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator shaft, causing his injuries."

That account is completely consistent with the notion that blast, fuel and fire from the impact high above raced down the elevator shaft to the basement level.

The account goes on: "William asks: "How could a jetliner hit 90 floors above and burn a man's arms and face to a crisp in the basement below within seconds of impact?"" Well the answer can be found in basic physics, something I doubt this janitor studied in high school or college.

Do you know that Engineer Mike Pecoraro, who was working in the sixth sub-basement of the north tower, said that after an explosion he and a co-worker went up to the C level, where there was a small machine shop. Mike Pecoraro specifically mentions smelling kerosene after the explosion. In other words ... Jet Fuel ... not explosives.

Did the WTC towers have elevator shafts that went from the impact level to the basement, or did the WTC towers have elevator shafts comprised of three distinct vertical assemblies?

Was there any elevator shaft above the 74th floor Skylobby that went lower than the 74th floor?

If a blast wave entered an elevator shaft above the 74th floor, would one be shocked to find out how slowly the wave traveled from the 74th floor to the basement?

What is the approximate speed of a blast wave traveling through an elevator shaft that does not exist?

If a blast wave traveled down an elevator shaft, why did the it not blow the 74th floor apart instead of the basement?

-------

The building has three vertical zones; express elevators serve skylobbies at the forty-first and seventy-fourth floors; from these, and from the plaza level, four banks of local elevators carry passengers to each of the three zones.

At 8:46 AM, a jet, apparently Flight 11, slammed into the northeast face of the tower, creating an impact hole that extended from the 92nd to 98th floors.

At 9:03 AM, a jet, apparently Flight 175, slammed into the southwest face of the tower, creating an impact hole that extended from the 78th to 84th floors.

There was a single express elevator that did go from bottom to top, but it's naive to think that any amount of burning jet fuel would make it down the shaft - and leave no trace of smoke/soot in the lobby.

The Naudet brothers' tape made it clear that there was no fire damage or indication in the lobby. However there were people burned at the lower levels - there's the mystery.

That's correct. One elevator shaft stopped went to all three levels, but the others did not. If the jet fuel causing the delayed explosions were valid, we would have seen bigger secondary explosions higher in the buildings and sooner than in the lobby.

The crash triggered a timetable for additional explosions, set off in the melee which followed.

Please check the illustration at the link. It appears that the express elevator only went from the bottom to the 74th floor Skylobby.
