William Rodriguez

WTC1 janitorrescue witness

Described a basement-level explosion in WTC 1 at about the time of the aircraft impact. Frequently cited in alternative accounts; official account treats it as impact/fuel effects transmitted down the core.

Honoured as a rescue worker. Explosion description is an observation of sensation, not a charge identification.
