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.

you're so right.

The thing everyone should know at a gut level concerning Rodriguez is that when he told his story to the journalists they censored him. They showed him on the news as he was the very last person dug out of the wreckage alive and thus newsworthy. But they censored his story about him personally witnessing 2 bombs going off inside the buildings.

think of these slime-ball journalists who do that. They get paid to lie. and if they have brains and consciences, then they know they get paid to lie.

and then we have these TREASONOUS QUEERS! among us who feel so strongly that only the mass media is a legitimate source of news.

It is so amazing that a lot of organized christians like to focus their minds on how there is a threat from gays. Example - christian tv shows focus on Barney character and others presented to children as being gay characters, etc. At the same time these organized christians overwhelmingly support this gay mafia of which we speak. and what is the department of education doing? They are dictating to public schools all over the country a pro-gay agenda where little children are indoctrinated in a pro-gay manner. and the same corporations that slant the news for Bush & his agenda are the ones who give the children these gay characters.

are these people deceived or what?!!

I used to read everything he posts and all his links too. I was convinced that he was a genius. But when I learned that he was in the closet and wouldn't come out I knew that he was untrustworthy and a TREASONOUS QUEER!

He didn't "witness" bombs going off, Red.

In BAC logic a person must have their eyes glued to the actual bomb when it goes off and see it personally explode in order to witness it. Rodriguez witnessed the explosions in that he heard them, he felt the shaking and he saw the damage to the building and the injured people even. I don't care about splitting hairs.

This demonstrates why I don't normally discuss substance with BAC. It is more productive to merely say that he is a TREASONOUS QUEER! because he can't deny that. we all know it's true.

Yes, he did witness a bomb going off.

Hearing is one of our five senses.

Touch is another of our five senses.

Remember last week when your mommy was explaining "knees and toes" to you?

You see, Bushie, a witness is anyone who has actual knowledge and can testify in a court of law. Mr. Rodriguez is such a witness, because he witnessed (1) the sound, (3) the concussion, and (3) the impact of those concessions.

So you see, you're wrong, and Red is right. Mr. Rodriguez witnessed those events, just as surely as everyone just witnessed me kicking your ass.

PS. Thanks for being a useful foil. I prefer a punching bag, but you were handy.

Gonzo better stick to the fifth, like that lawyer who worked for him.

He's already committed perjury before the congress, so he'll just make it worse by trying to explain it away. They tried that with Scooter Libby aka Irving Lewis Liebowitz. I think Bush is going to urge his people to take the fifth.

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.

Consider yourself priveleged. You get to receive one of my rare posts. I've been restricted to only 10 a day by christine. She did it after I laughed when I heard that she, Arator and Kamala met Rodriguez in person at Alex Jones' and Charlie Sheen's 911 Conference. I guess that was nothing to laugh about.

The particular jet fuel (Jet-A) smells like diesel - not the kerosene smell of the military JP-4.

You claim to have been a commercial jet pilot?

The most common fuel is an unleaded/paraffin oil-based fuel classified as JET A-1, which is produced to an internationally standardized set of specifications. In the United States only, a version of JET A-1 known as JET A is also used. See the section for JET A below.

The only other jet fuel that is commonly used in civilian aviation is called JET B. JET B is a fuel in the naptha-kerosene region that is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance. However, JET B's lighter composition makes it more dangerous to handle, and it is thus restricted only to areas where its cold-weather characteristics are absolutely necessary.

Not a problem, my pleasure. I had to be aware off the fuel all the time taking regular samples of oil and fuel to send in to be tested.

You had to be sure no water had collected in the bottoms of the fuel bladders of the helicopters we had. And I know how to do a clear and bright check at pre- flight to watch for too much H2O dissolved into the fuel.

[BAC] 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.


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.

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.

He's right about the smell. Jet A has a distinct odor that surprised me.

Jet A appears to contain mercaptan sulphur which would certainly add something to its odor. Mercaptan is the stuff skunks make and which is used in stinkbombs, and as an additive to otherwise odorless natural gas as a safety measure.

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.

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.

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.

Tell me, how could pure kerosene smell like anything other than kerosene?

First, we are not discussing the smell of kerosene, but the smell of the byproducts of burning kerosene. The smell given off by burning something can be very different from the original substance. For example, eggs which are burned make quite a stink. The smell of a burned substance can be affected by such things as a content of over 20% aromatics. The Jet-A specification appears to permit up to 25% aromatics and 3% naphthalene by volume.

Tell me how "pure" kerosene could have 25% aromatic content by volume and 3.0% naphthalene content by volume according to the Jet A specification?

CHEVRON Link

"Avgas is limited to monoaromatics by distillation requirements. Typically, toluene is the only aromatic compound in avgas. Jet fuel is limited to monocyclic and dicyclic aromatic compounds by distillation requirements. Total aromatic content of Jet A and Jet A-1 is limited to 25% vol, and total naphthalenes content is limited to 3.0 % vol by specifications."

He wasn't talking about the byproducts of burning kerosene in that comment. He was talking about the smell of pristine, unburned, Jet A.

And I notice that so far in this thread I've posted almost half a dozen sources that say Jet A and Jet A-1 smell like kerosene whereas you, SKYDRIFTER and Ferret Mike combined haven't posted a single one who claims it smells like diesel (other than SKYDRIFTER in the form of WUFFO). Wonder why ...

In other words ... Jet Fuel ... not explosives.

BAC, I've been around turbine fuel since my first commercial flying job. I'm plenty expert to say what's factual, whether you approve or not.

Now, you insist on phase-shifting the information again, deviating from "...jet fuel" to the odor of burned jet fuel - make up your distorted mind!

Now, why would fire suddenly decide to burn downward after all the laws of physics having heat always rise? OR would you have anyone believe that the "jet fuel" could burn without leaving anything in the way of smoke evidence to remark about?

See how you are BAC, if not outright lying, you are the epitome of "deceit." You can't escape that. You contribute nothing but shit to any forum you go to. Go suck the remains of Goldi's tits - if she'll honor you with delivering that service. Maybe she'll give you back your posting rights on ElPee.

BAC, your queerness is sufficient for the whole world to note and discount for what it is - logic or social preference. AND - as Trace illustrates - you're also one hell of a coward.

You're worthless to the whole world, BAC. Nobody wants you. You're just the asshole for the Bush Cabal and associates to fuck - that's all.

Go away BAC - nobody wants you here. Except for your services delivered to your queer pals; nobody would want you, period.

You gave yourself away, BAC, a treasonous and cowardly queer. Your passionate bullshit means nothing - NOTHING! It just stinks.

I was assuming the fuel at the WTC burned but I will accept your representation that it did not and that the people at the WTC were smelling pure, pristine kerosene.

You have posted that Jet-A is "pure kerosene." I have posted from Chevron that, "Total aromatic content of Jet A and Jet A-1 is limited to 25% vol, and total naphthalenes content is limited to 3.0 % vol by specifications."

Also I posted from NIOSH that kerosene is, "A refined petroleum solvent (predominantly C9-C16), which typically is 25% normal paraffins, 11% branched paraffins, 30% monocycloparaffins, 12% dicycloparaffins, 1% tricycloparaffins, 16% mononuclear aromatics & 5% dinuclear aromatics.

I accept that you want to change the subject and avoid addressing those quotes. As you do not want to address what I posted, perhaps you would like to address whether you have yet formed an opinion regarding whether "you support the 'right' of Israel to deliberately attack a U.S. Navy ship and kill 34 U.S. Navy men and wound 171 more, and shoot at lifeboats...."

When last checked, you still passionately remained of "no opinion."

Aren't you lucky. You have yet another chance to find and voice your opinion.

"And I notice that so far in this thread I've posted almost half a dozen sources that say Jet A and Jet A-1 smell like kerosene whereas you, SKYDRIFTER and Ferret Mike combined haven't posted a single one who claims it smells like diesel (other than SKYDRIFTER in the form of WUFFO). Wonder why ..."

You are a clueless dumb ass. You are thee sort of noob We would send to the tool room to get a bucket of prop wash or ten meters of flight line.

Go smell it yourself. I stopped by the aviation maintenance department at Lane Community College where I was yesterday using their WiFi. I was curious about alternate fuels listed on the alternative fuel stencil on the hardpoint behind the jump door as they have a UH-1H hanger queen for A&P mechanic students to work on.

I talked with an instructor about different turbine fuels and thee flash point needed for a free power turbine engine like the UH-1H's T53-L13 power plant that has five annular and one centrifugal stage off compression, and two N1 and two N2 turbine wheels. The N1 rotates clockwise and turns the hollow drive shaft for the compression stages, and the slid N2 turns the other way turning thee gears in the planetary gearbox in front of the engine under the particle separator sections that help keep dirt and sand out of the engine.

Jet A has anti fungicides and other additives that give it a very diesel-like smell according to the instructor I talked to.

I'm no idiot when it comes to aviation, reciprocating piston engined A/C or birds with free power turbine engines.

But you are, sorry about your bad luck.

I saw him again at a conference in Irvine a few months ago; but they had a separate banquet at which Rodriguez was the featured speaker and they charged 50 bucks for that dinner alone. separate from the conference fee- i didn't go since I had already heard his story; but a friend of mine went (who had also gone to alex conference in LA) and said it was outstanding - a full house, and well worth the $50.

Actually willie had told my wife when we met him at the LA conference that he wasn't getting paid for speaking at the LA conference. I hope he is collecting some sort of compensation now, for all these speaking engagements. At the Irvine conference they passed around the hat for Willie and April Gallop. One of the speakers, I forget which one,. (von kleist or Tarpley..??) said on stage that he had visited Willie's place and he lives in a very modest bachelor apt.
