Collapsed From Controlled Demolition

June 24, 2005
By Greg Szymanski
What happened to William Rodriguez the morning of 9/11 is a miracle.
What happened to his story after-the-fact is a tragedy.
But with miracles and tragedies comes truth. And truth is exactly what
Rodriguez brings to the whole mystery surrounding 9/11.
Declared a hero for saving numerous lives at Ground Zero, he was the
janitor on duty the morning of 9/11 who heard and felt explosions rock
the basement sub-levels of the north tower just seconds before the
jetliner struck the top floors.
He not only claims he felt explosions coming from below the first
sub-level while working in the basement, he says the walls were
cracking around him and he pulled a man to safety by the name of Felipe
David, who was severely burned from the basement explosions.
All these events occurred only seconds before and during the jetliner
strike above. And through it all, he now asks a simple question
everybody should be asking? How could a jetliner hit 90 floors above
and burn a mans arms and face to a crisp in the basement below within
seconds of impact?
Rodriguez claims this was impossible and clearly demonstrates a
controlled demolition brought down the WTC, saying "Lets see them (the
government) try to wiggle out of this one."
Well, they havent wiggled out of it because the government continues
to act like Rodriguez doesnt exist, basically ignoring his statements
and the fact he rescued a man burnt and bleeding from the basement
explosions.
His eye witness account, ignored by the media and the government,
points the finger squarely on an official cover-up at the highest
levels since the government contends the WTC fell only from burning jet
fuel. And after listening to Rodriguez, its easy to see why the Bush
administration wants him kept quiet.
Bush wants him quiet because Rodriguezs account is proof positive
the WTC was brought down by a controlled demolition, not burning jet
fuel. And Bush knows if hes caught lying about this or caught in a
cover-up, its just a matter of time before the whole house of cards
comes tumbling down.
In fact, Rodriguezs story is so damaging so damning it literally
blows the lid off the government story, literally exposing the whole
9/11 investigation as a sham and a cover-up of the worst kind.
And it appears the cover-up also extends to the media.
NBC news knew about his story several years ago, even spending a full
day at his house taping his comments. But when push came to shove, his
story was never aired. Why?
His eyewitness account, backed up by at least 14 people at the scene
with him, isnt speculation or conjecture. It isnt a story that takes
a network out on a journalistic limb. Its a story that can be backed
up, a story that can be verified with hospital records and testimony
from many others.
Its a story about 14 people who felt and heard the same explosion and
even saw Rodriguez, moments after the airplane hit, take David to
safety, after he was burnt so bad from the basement explosion flesh was
hanging from his face and both arms
So why didnt NBC or any other major news outlets cover the story? They
didnt run it because it shot the government story to hell and back.
They didnt run it because "the powers that be" wouldnt allow it.
Since 9/11, Rodriguez has stuck to his guns, never wavering from what
he said from day one. Left homeless at times, warned to keep quiet and
subtly harassed, he nevertheless has continued trying to tell get his
message out in the face of a country not willing to listen.
Here is his story:
The Miracle
Its a miracle Rodriguez, 44, who worked at the WTC for 20 years, is
even alive. Usually arriving to work at 8:30am, the morning of 9/11 he
reported 30 minutes late. If hed arrived on time, it would have put
him at the top floors just about the same time the jetliner hit the
north tower.
"It was a miracle. If I arrived on time, like always, Id probably be
dead. I would have been up at the top floors like every morning," said
Rodriguez about the quirk of fate that saved his life.
But since he was late, Rodriguez found himself checking into work in an
office on sub-level 1 when the north tower was hit, seemingly out of
harms way. However, the sound and concussion of a massive explosion in
the sub-levels right below his feet changed that.
"When I heard the sound of the explosion, the floor beneath my feet
vibrated, the walls started cracking and it everything started
shaking," said Rodriguez, who was huddled together with at least 14
other people in the office.
Rodriguez said Anthony Saltamachia, supervisor for the American
Maintenance Co., was one of the people in the room who stands ready to
verify his story.
"Seconds after the first massive explosion below in the basement still
rattled the floor, I hear another explosion from way above," said
Rodriguez. "Although I was unaware at the time, this was the airplane
hitting the tower, it occurred moments after the first explosion."
But before Rodriguez had time to think, co-worker Felipe David stormed
into the basement office with severe burns on his face and arms,
screaming for help and yelling "explosion! explosion! explosion!"
David had been in front of a nearby freight elevator on sub-level 1
about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator
shaft, causing his injuries.
"He was burned terribly," said Rodriguez. "The skin was hanging off his
hands and arms. His injuries couldnt have come from the airplane
above, but only from a massive explosion below. I dont care what the
government says, what scientists say. I saw a man burned terribly from
a fire that was caused from an explosion below.
"I know there were explosives placed below the trade center. I helped a
man to safety who is living proof, living proof the government story is
a lie and a cover-up.
"I have tried to tell my story to everybody, but nobody wants to
listen. It is very strange what is going on here in supposedly the most
democratic country in the world. In my home country of Puerto Rico and
all the other Latin American countries, I have been allowed to tell my
story uncensored. But here, I cant even say a word."
After Rodriguez escorted David to safety outside the WTC, he returned
to lead the others in the basement to safety as well. While there, he
also helped two other men trapped and drowning in the basement elevator
shaft, another result he says of the explosives placed below the tower.
In fact, after leading these men to safety, he even made another trip
back into the north tower, against police orders, in order to rescue
people from the top floors.
"I never could make it to the top, but I got up to the 33rd floor after
getting some of my equipment and a face mask out of the janitors
closet," said Rodriguez, adding he heard a series of small explosions
going off between the 20th and 30th floors, unrelated to the airplane
strike, while making his way through the stairwell to the top floors.
"Also, when I was on the 33rd floor, I heard strange sounds coming form
the 34th floor, loud noises like someone moving and thumping heavy
equipment and furniture. I knew this floor was empty and stripped due
to construction work so I avoided it and continued to make my way up
the stairs."
Rodriguez said he finally reached the 39th floor before being turned
back by fire fighters and then, reluctantly, started his descent back
down and his own flight to safety while, at the same time, hearing
explosions coming from the South Tower.
The Tragedy
The concerted effort by the media and the government to silence
Rodriguez is the tragedy behind this American heros story. And there
is no question, Rodriguez is a "silent hero" for saving so many lives
and for having the courage to continue telling his story against
tremendous odds.
In an effort to open a fair and honest investigation as to why the WTC
collapsed, Rodriguez has been ignored by government officials, the 9/11
Commission and the National Institute of Safety and Technology (NIST).
NIST, an independent investigative group funded by the government, put
the finishing touches this week on its 2 year $35 million 9/11
investigation. This week Rodriguez made his final plea to have his
story heard while testifying at the final public hearing held in New
York.
" I disagree 100%with the government story," said Rodriguez. "I met
with the 9/11 Commission behind closed doors and they essentially
discounted everything I said regarding the use of explosives to bring
down the north tower.
"And I contacted NIST previously four times without a response.
Finally, this week I asked them before they came up with their
conclusion that jet fuel brought down the towers, if they ever
considered my statements or the statements of any of the other
survivors who heard the explosions. They just stared at me with blank
faces and didnt have any answers.
"Also, The FBI never followed up on my claims or on the other part of
my story when I told them before 9/11, I encountered one of the
hijackers casing the north tower."
Besides the explosions, Rodriguez also has provided testimony to the
9/11 Commission that he stumbled across one of the supposed 19 Arab
hijackers inside the WTC several months before 9/11
"I had just finished cleaning the bathroom and this guy asks me,
'Excuse me, how many public bathrooms are in this area?'" Rodriguez
told the 9/11 Commission. "Coming from the school of the 1993 [Trade
Center] bombing, I found it very strange. I didn't forget about it"
Rodriguez, claims he saw United Airlines Flight 175 hijacker Mohand
Alshehri in June 2001, telling an FBI agent about the incident a month
after the attacks. Never hearing back from the bureau, he later learned
agents never followed up on the story.
"I'm very certain, I'll give it 90%" that Alshehri was casing the
towers before the attacks," said Rodriguez.
Regarding the medias apathetic approach to his story, Rodriguez said
immediately after 9/11 some newspapers picked it up but his words were
never taken seriously and quickly forgotten.
"During the 9/11 hearings, NBC brought a crew out to my house and spent
a day taping my story but they never did air a word of it," said
Rodriguez. "Since then, some reporters and commentators have subtly
warned me to keep quiet, told me my life could be in jeopardy and
warned me that I really didnt understand who I was dealing with.
"I have been receiving this type of subtle harassment for years, but I
keep telling everybody I cant be intimidated because I am on a
mission. Whenever someone asks why I keep talking or warns me that I
could be killed, I just tell them I have nothing to lose.
"I tell them I lost 200 friends and I am their voice now. I tell them I
will do everything in my power to find out the truth since I am living
on borrowed time since I probably should be dead anyway."
Besides trying to tell his explosive story, Rodriguez has been active
raising money for 9/11victims, being involved with charity groups that
have raised more than $122 million. He says he has used over $60,000 of
his own money, originally earmarked to buy a new house, in order to get
at the truth behind 9/11.
Also seeking justice at the highest level, Rodriguez is the lead
plaintiff in a federal RICO lawsuit filed against President Bush and
others, alleging conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes in the
deaths of more than 3,000 at the WTC.
The case, filed last November in a Philadelphia federal district court,
recently was moved to New York in a change of venue after a
governments motion to dismiss was overruled, allowing legal discovery
to continue.
"Even if the case goes no farther, I feel we have scored a victory by
winning this first battle," said Rodriguez. "At least the judge seems
willing to listen which is a victory of sorts. However, I sincerely
hope we can eventually take the case all the way to trial and reveal
the truth to the American people about 9/11."
