The last man out of the World Trade Center will share his harrowing story of courage, strength and hope on Friday, August 17th at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. Actor Ed Asner along with 'Peace Mom' Cindy Sheehan are scheduled to appear.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2007 -- Declared a hero for saving numerous lives at Ground Zero, William Rodriguez 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. His testimony, which was omitted from the 9/11 Commission, destroys the government's official story because it means there is a possibility explosives were placed in the buildings. Several eyewitnesses also claim they heard multiple explosions before the buildings collapsed.
At great risk to his own life, William re-entered the Towers three times after the first, North Tower impact and is believed to be the last person to exit the North Tower alive, surviving the building's collapse by diving beneath a fire truck. After receiving medical attention at the site for his injuries, he then spent the rest of the day a volunteer in the rescue efforts, and at dawn the following morning, was back continuing his heroic efforts.
In addition to being a spokesperson for the New York City first responders (leading the cause for compensation issues and rights) William is also active in the movement for immigrant rights. When Latino survivors and relatives of victims of the attacks were not receiving adequate attention from support groups or relief programs, he helped form a group just for them. He was also a major force behind the campaign to encourage non-documented survivors and relatives of victims to come forward for help without fear of deportation. The group raised funds for scholarships for children of immigrants killed or maimed in the attacks.
William believes that now is the time for all people to stand up for truth, even if it means personal sacrifice. In addition to testifying in front of the 9/11 Commission, he is also 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 people at the WTC.
William Rodriguez tells his story live Friday August 17, 2007 at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church located at 3300 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. The program begins at 7pm and there will be a donation request of $10. To view the trailer from William's new film The Last Man Out visit http://youtube.com/watch?v=0DEUzuzqSLQ
