Fri01Dec - LONDON - William Rodriguez' talk

[tfayaz]

All,

William will be doing his final tallk (to the best of my knowledge) in London tomorrow afternoon, which is scheduled for 4pm. I personally think it'll start earlier as the hall has to be cleared for something else starting at 5.30. Spread the word, let as many people know as possible - we really have to push this one!

Additional info on this is that the talk will take place in the junior common room in the main building. Thornhaugh Street is a tiny cul de sac in the north-west corner of Russell Square.

I should have posted this yesterday day!

Can someone ask Willy about the amount of time between the explosions in the basement and the explosion higher up i.e. Was it more than just a couple of seconds?

Can they also ask him about the sequential explosions which the firefighters told him (Willy) were floors collapsing (I think it was something like the 64 floor to the 40 floor). Just that you would expect to see windows being blown out before the collapse, right? Not saying Willy's a liar but the explosions he heard may not have been floors collapsing but core columns being cut!

Try and get his answers on video.

I can answer one now. The explosion he heard in B2 and the one when the plane hit the tower were only seconds apart (no more than 5). He also mentioned that in Loose Change.

Other than that, I think it'll be difficult to have a Q&A with him regarding these as there will be many people wanting to ask their own questions and if you're not there in person then it'll be unlikely that someone will do it on your behalf.

Hope the event in Skipton, Yorkshire with Willie went OK last night. Decided in the end to give it a miss as I heard him speak at Manchester Town Hall (The Jimmy Walters European tour) last year.

A passionate speaker and a man with a mission of telling the public what he experienced and saw, a key witness in reaction to the ignorance he received from the Keane commission. Well worth the effort to listen to him speak, he received a well deserved standing ovation at MTH from an audience of around 500.

One question I would like to receive a response to from Willie:-

Willie was the Janitor, a keymaster with presumably cartaking and building maintenance responsibilities.

Prior to 911 did he notice any maintenance work occuring which could have provided the opportunity of placing explosives in the structural frame of the building?
