I'm sure a lot of you have seen the William Rodriguez interview. He has been recognized as a 911 hero. I'm wondering what people think of his story. And how he heard explosions from the basement prior to the plane hitting the tower. I also want to know what people who believe the official story think of him. Has he been brought up in debates?

I agree John Schroeder of FDNY Company 10, in regards to WR:

I see. I bet this video comes up during debates. Is William considered a less credible source of information?

From my extensive research I have found supporting evidence to William Rodriguez and the above video outlines a few aspects that corroberate William. First John Schroeder states it was 5 min after the planes hit that the Fireball occurred in the elevator shaft. Second John implicitly states the lobby was down from the elevator shafts, and the Naudet video also shows a hazy powdery blast on the broken windows and not suit from the flames.

There were other workers that were on the sublevels that saw lights flicker and then went into the level that had a 50 ton press on it, only to see a white trail of smoke leading down to the parking garage. Then they went down to and found that the garage was gone too. Some say this was the result of a Power Generator that blew up. But from what? The timelines aren't drawn out precisely here but I tend to think that this was the explosion that William heard and this would have been instantaneously triggered from the impact so again the 5 min that it took the fireball to travel played no part in this explosion.

There were explosions at the base of the building prior to collapse and a reporter from Fox 5 stated this while his videographer was taping a white cloud coming from the base of the 1st WTC to collapse. There is also a video of a shockwave and you can hear the explosions and see the building next to the WTC vibrate more during the initial shockwave than it does during the entire collapse.

Here is a link to the Video of Explosions and Shockwave

It is so incredible that William saved people who can corroberate his story only to have them suppressed by the court they testified in. However sinister the ministers of this perpetration may seem, they are fully capable of these acts and administer their facts by suppressing testimony of a Janitor and Firefighters. And how poinent that this Heroic Janitor is now self-appointed to try to help us understand and clean up the mess. I say we should all grab a broom and a trash can to pitch-in.

Rodriguez has changed his story so much that he has become a bit of a joke, which is a pretty sad thing really. Its surprising how many conspiracy theories are teetering on his changing testimony.

William Rodriguez's speech in Los Angeles on August 17, 2007, was picked up by C-SPAN September 8, 2007.

Just got done watching it, and it blows away anything C-SPAN has bothered to carry before re: 9/11. I ordered a DVD and will be burning copies for others, to be sure. Have no doubt that 9/11 Truth is the truth.

AN "INTERNATIONAL" INVESTIGATION

Of note during the presentation, Rodriguez mentioned the precedent for an "international" investigation. Of the 3,000 victims, 90 some different nations were represented. All of those nations have the right to launch an independent investigation of their own.

THE MONEY MYTH

Rodriguez doesn't do this for money. Two years ago he was sleeping under a bridge. He's been wearing the same suit for the past five years.

SPANISH

The talk show "Christina" plays to 100 million people a day (vs. Oprah's measly 35 million). Rodriguez has been on "Christina;" routinely Spanish-speaking audiences of 100+ million people have been exposed to 9/11 Truth through their MSM while people in the U.S. go hungry for truth. (We're referred to around the world as "MTV Couch Potato" activists, which is largely accurate.)

When did his story change? I saw video of him during the initial investigation and he kept talking about the explosion. I would think that his memory would become more cognizant after he too was trying to understand what went on after 9/11, as during 9/11 he was more concerned with getting people out.

The fact that he didn't take the money and yet was shut out by the court he testified before, along with 15 other firefighters whose testimony was not admitted as evidence shows his story never changed. The fact that lesser testimony was entered into record not including his or the firefighters shows that his story never changed. Perhaps the court was protecting american citizens from the repercussions of what their testimony entailed. But even if they did intentionally supress the testimony for this reason, I also have to lump them in with the treason they commit while doing so.

I am sure his attitude changed after living under a bridge and seeing other evidence like the explosion and white smoke prior to collapse. Looks like it only energized him because he has the ultimate motivation, his friends that died in the windows of the world, and for the friends he made saving their lives. And most importantly he is just an average american thrown into an unprecedented circumstance now to stand as a true american hero that stands up against the powers that be. His story truly amazes and inspires me.

He must laugh in the face of adversity now. Do you think that he would be so fervent about this plight if he was wavering about what he witnessed? This makes William/Firefighters in my book the most credible witnesses a courtroom could ever expect to see, and to see what happened to them follows a common theme now about 9/11.

I don't think any of us are in a position to second guess any testimony or eye witness account of someone that was actually, physically in the buildings as they were being destroyed.

And as much as I appreciate the numerous accounts of the firefighters that did survive that day, I have to give Rodriquez a bit more credence in this situation, simply because he was there from the very beginning all the way to the very end.

Of course, I think that both accounts eventually lead to the same conclusion. I'm not too worried that a few of the details are somewhat different, or that they have changed slightly over the past 6 years.
