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.

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.
His is certain that explosions took place low in the WTC before the first plane hit. BAC - 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.
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.
Yeah, BAC, you deceiving piece of shit. The particular jet fuel (Jet-A) smells like diesel - not the kerosene smell of the military JP-4. See how you are, BAC? Your information is as queer as you are!
You claim to have been a commercial jet pilot? http://www.sinclairoil.com/msds/Jet%20Fuels.pdf "MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET MSDS # F3, SINCLAIR JET FUELS, TRADE NAME: Jet Fuel, APPLICATIONS: Fuel, SYNONYMS: Commercial Jet Fuel, Jet A, Turbine Fuel, Aviation Fuel, JP - 8, ODOR: Kerosene odor" http://www.usor.com/pdfs/msds/fuels/Jet_Fuel_MSDS.pdf "U.

Kerosene odor." http://www.aopa.org/pilot/features/mos9702.html "Jet fuel is essentially kerosene and has the same odor." http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Evolution_of_Technology/fuel/Tech21.htm "Commercial jet fuel, known as Jet-A, is pure kerosene" http://www.nasaexplores.com/show2_articlea.php?id=04-051 "Aircraft then went to using Jet-A commercial jet fuel. It is kerosene-based" http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070310075255AAu0P98&show=7 " There are currently two main grades of turbine fuel in use in civil commercial aviation : Jet A-1 and Jet A, both are kerosene type fuels." http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/pha/fallon/nas_p5.html "many commercial jet fuels today have basically the same composition as kerosene" http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2006-06-20-alternative-jet-fuel_x.htm "Today, most commercial airplanes use a fuel similar to light kerosene."
He's right about the smell. Jet A has a distinct odor that surprised me. I had been a helicopter crewchief in the U.S. Army my first enlistment. I know JP-4 very well and lost an argument myself over the smell of jet fuel several years ago. Drifty is correct, not you. Nice Googling though, I'll give you that.
I have no personal knowledge of Jet-A but came across the following which may be of interest. I smelled enough of the military stuff to know it smelled like kerosene. 26. To: Itisa1mosttoolate (#25) The repeated description of "the smell of kerosene" is no small deal. Jet-A airline fuel smells distinctly like diesel. BUT - old military hands would remember that the JP-4 smelled like kerosene! Wuffo posted on 2004-12-14 16:16:29 ET Reply Trace ------------------------- 37. To: Wuffo (#26) Really? http://www.csgnetwork.com/jetfuel.html Jet A-1 is a kerosine grade of fuel suitable for most turbine engined aircraft. It is produced to a stringent internationally agreed standard, has a flash point above 38°C (100°F) and a freeze point maximum of -47°C. It is widely available outside the U.S.A. Jet A-1 meets the requirements of British specification DEF STAN 91-91 (Jet A-1), (formerly DERD 2494 (AVTUR)), ASTM specification D1655 (Jet A-1) and IATA Guidance Material (Kerosine Type), NATO Code F-35. Jet A is a similar kerosine type of fuel, produced to an ASTM specification and normally only available in the U.S.A. It has the same flash point as Jet A-1 but a higher freeze point maximum (-40°C). It is supplied against the ASTM D1655 (Jet A) specification. ANV posted on 2004-12-14 17:30:09 ET Reply Trace ------------------------ 38. To: ANV (#37) Pass your nose by a pool of Jet-A; you get a diesel smell; not kerosene. It's that simple. Wuffo posted on 2004-12-14 17:43:53 ET Reply Trace ----------------------- 39. To: Wuffo (#38) If you say so since I've never directly smelled it. My work was with JP-4, a gasoline/kerosene mixture. Don't know why a purely kerosene based fuel would smell like diesel, but then I do remember reading something about different grades of diesel. ANV posted on 2004-12-14 17:51:43 ET Reply Trace ---------------------- 44. To: ANV (#39) I don't understand the technical assignment of 'kerosene," but I'll promise you that Jet-A has a distinctly diesel smell to it, versus JP-4, which, as you know, DOES have the kerosene odor. JP-4 was such a 'standard' jet fuel in so many environments, for so long, that many don't know the current reality. Certainly, a human mistake, up to a point. I get excited when I hear of a recent airliner crash site described in terms of kerosene odor. Wuffo posted on 2004-12-14 18:32:32 ET Reply Trace ---------------------
