5. I know that you are chomping at the bit to answer my
questions, but I just couldn't wait so I decided to do a little research and eventually saw the video on your link that has a 50 minute speech by William Rodriguez http://www.911blogger.com/node/19439.

William's actions on 9/11 make him a true hero and listening to his speech he sounds like a sane, sober, and honest individual. I will stipulate that Mr. Rodriquez believes what he says, but I have trouble accepting his conclusions and at least one of his statements of fact.

We'll start with the statement of fact. He says that it was necessary to unlock the doors on 3 out of every four floors because it was a class A building and the doors were locked. I was under the impression that you can block access from the stairwell to a floor, but you cannot restrict access from the floor to the stairwell. So, it would have been necessary for him to let the firefighters onto the locked floors, but it wouldn't have been necessary for him to unlock doors to let people out. About 30 minutes in he states "I continue going up, by myself, opening doors, letting people out". Why would he need to let people out when the doors should have opened to the staircase? Can someone enlighten me on this?

Besides that Williams speculation on the cause of the collapse does not seem to be a jumble of different things. He states that the first explosion was actually beneath him, before the plane hit. He speculates that this was done to weeken the structure of the building and he believes that the synchronization of the plane strike and the basement blast were timed incorrectly and that is why there was a delay. So basically he believes that there was to be a coordinated strike on the building of a bomb blast and the plane hitting the tower, but the coordination was off a few seconds. This doesn't make sense to me because if you are going to CD a building (which he believes was done) you don't do preliminary explosions to weeken the building before setting off the rest of the charges.

Later he hears an explosion which he states is the collapse of the first tower and then he heres multiple booms which he believes is his building collapsing from the 65th floor to the 44th floor and this happened while he was on the 39th floor (33.50). We know that the middle section of his tower did not collapse so while he does believe this, we do know it to be false.

I will get to more later.
