LAST MAN TO LEAVE TWIN TOWERS ALIVE TO VISIT CATHEDRAL

11:40 - 24 January 2007
Exeter has been chosen as the starting point for a European tour by the last survivor to come out of the Twin Towers alive on 9/11.William Rodriguez, a janitor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York, was a hero on the day and saved many lives. He has been honoured five times at the White House and is leader of several Twin Towers victims' support groups.
Mr Rodriguez is due to visit Exeter Cathedral at 1pm on Saturday, February 3, to talk about his experiences on September 11, 2001, and also his claims that there has been a conspiracy to cover up what actually happened on the day, when the two aircraft were flown into the towers.
He has questioned the official report on the disaster, suggesting explosions were heard in the complex before it was struck by the first of the two passenger jets. He argues that it was an "inside job" to justify the subsequent "war on terror" and restrictions to civil liberties.
On 9/11, Mr Rodriguez single-handedly rescued 15 people from the World Trade Center, and, as the only person at the site with the master key to the North Tower stairwells, he bravely led firefighters up a stairwell, unlocking doors as they ascended, thereby aiding in the successful evacuation of unknown hundreds of those who survived. He re-entered the towers three times after the first, North Tower impact at about 8.46am, and is believed to have been the last person to exit the North Tower alive, subsequently surviving the building's collapse by diving beneath a fire truck.
After receiving medical attention at the site for his injuries, he spent the rest of 9/11 aiding as a volunteer in the rescue efforts, and at dawn the following morning, he was back at Ground Zero continuing his heroic efforts.
Deeply affected by his experiences of 9/11, Mr Rodriguez has, in a variety of capacities and through several different organisations, worked ever since that terrible day to help others who were affected by the atrocity.
He has continued in these efforts notwithstanding the fact that, due to the loss of his employment, he has been unable to earn a living and was even left homeless for a time.
Event organiser Dr Stephen Hopwood said: "We are delighted and honoured that Mr Rodriguez is to travel from New York to meet and talk with the people of Exeter. We hope we can repay him with a huge turnout."
Those attending are being asked to make a voluntary donation and the proceeds from the event are to be given to 45-year-old Mr Rodriguez. _________________ Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley |
