Two, windows blown out of the lobby Three, broken glass everywhere.
Wow, I had to stop right here... This is crystal clear knowledge and has been since day one.
There was definitely windows blown out of the lobby and glass everywhere, including heavy duty wall tiles broken off the walls. Videos clearly show this.
Please wake up.
He is wide awake, as in eyes wide shut. He is simply in denial of facts.
Upon impact, the plane’s jet fuel exploded, filling the interior of the building with flames all the way down to the 75th floor and sending flames out of the hole the plane had ripped open in the building’s side.
While the 78th and 79th floors bore the brunt of the damage, one of the B-25's engines fell down an elevator shaft and set off a major fire in the basement. The other engine hurtled across the building and tore through seven walls before emerging from the 33rd Street side of the tower. The debris crashed through the roof of a thirteen-story building across the street where another fire erupted. Other heavy wreckage, including the landing gear, also caused damage to the Empire State and nearby buildings while Stan Lomax reportedly saw part of a wing catapulting towards Madison Avenue.
An engine snapped an elevator cable while at least one woman was riding in the elevator car. The emergency auto brake saved the woman from crashing to the bottom, but the engine fell down the shaft and landed on top of it. Quick-thinking rescuers pulled the woman from the elevator, saving her life.
The body of the Navy hitch-hiker Albert Perna was found two days after the crash at the bottom of an elevator shaft
Also can you imagine if we had the internet back then if people read this below.
Firefighter John Morabito of ladder 10, which is just 200 yards from the north tower.
“Just inside the front entrance, Morabito found two victims of the fireball. A man, already dead, was pushed against a wall, his clothes gone, his eyeglasses blackened, his tongue lying on the floor next to him. The other was a woman, with no clothes, her hair burned off, her eyes sealed.
“The woman, she sat up. I’m yelling to her, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to help you,’” Morabito said. “She sat up and was trying to talk, but her throat had closed up. She died right there.
Firefighter Peter Blaich
As we got to the third floor of the B stairway, we forced open an elevator door which was burnt on all three sides. The only thing that was remaining was the hoistway door. And inside the elevator were about I didnt recognize them initially, but a guy from 1 Truck said oh my God, those are people. They were pretty incinerated. And I remember the overpowering smell of kerosene. Thats when Lieutenant Foti said oh, thats the jet fuel. I remember it smelled like if youre camping and you drop a kerosene lamp.
The same thing happened to the elevators in the main lobby. They were basically blown out. I dont recall if I actually saw people in there.
What got me initially in the lobby was that as soon as we went in, all the windows were blown out, and there were one or two burning cars outside. And there were burn victims on the street there, walking around. We walked through this giant blown-out window into the lobby.
.Brian Reeves, a 34-year-old security guard, was nearly killed while making the rounds in the lobby of 1 World Trade Center on September 11. He started to run after hearing an explosion that he said sounded like a missile, but he was knocked down by a fireball that roared down the elevator shaft.
Reeves suffered third-degree burns to 40 percent of his body before he was able to pat out the flames. He was one of 20 critically-injured patients rushed to New York Presbyterian’s burn unit that day.
Vasana) Mutuanot was in the lobby of Tower One when she heard the first explosion. Thinking it was a bomb like the terrorist attack in 1993, she turned to run, looking over her shoulder as flames leaped from a freight elevator shaft cooking her back and legs and right cheek. "It was a fireball with sand and heat, like a hurricane of fire," she said.
Mututanont ran out of the building then fell after flying glass sliced through a tendon in her leg. A wall of fire followed her outside.
“Swept to my back from my feet up and then I see fire all over, in my hair, also. A lot of people just blew away, you know, like that.”
There was not one SINGLE visible indication of ANY kind of burning, fire or incendiary-type explosion in the lobby area

Europhysics knows very little about
certain areas of physics or they are
playing along.
How does an office fire 93 stories
up cause a spontaneous collapse
of all 110 stories in 10-11 sec ?
It's really getting to be so evident
the OS is poo.Its the religious like
belief in our universities and media
that is holding back the truth.

The explosion in the basement below Rodriguez happened just moments before he became aware of the airplane strike.
It would be interesting to know if being in the basement they could even feel the aircraft strike 1000 feet above?

Sound vibrations propagate very quickly through solid masses like steel columns. The entire building would have vibrated like a massive low frequency tuning fork after such a collision and, in the basement area it would feel like an earth tremor somewhat like you'd get from a distant earthquake....
Collapsed Trade Center towers still dangerous

"We heard a loud rumble, then all of a sudden we heard another rumble like someone moving a whole lot of furniture," Rodriguez said.
So what explosives were planted
and what damage was caused to help initiate failure in the structural steel?

Don't know.
and what damage was caused to help initiate failure in the structural steel?
Why assume it was to help initiate failure in the structure steel?
How about cutting off key access/exit points? Obstruct rescue efforts? Conceal evidence/prevent tampering? ect...

My point is that he couldn't know anything other than the 'rumbles' he heard & felt until someone told him what the source of it was (IE the plane strike) so you can forget about precision in regard to timing. Also I see no mention of phone conversations in his statement during the panic that followed so any such discussion was also after the plane strike and the only definite fact is that the 'rumble' preceded the 'explosion' and both preceded him learning what caused it all.

Have you any thoughts as to why the 911 Commission would take the Rodriguez testimony in secret, and why his testimony would be excluded from the final report?
