WTC Basement Explosions (Part-1)

"Reports From The Basement"

Reporter: "At 8:30, he said he was headed to Level B-4 in Tower 1, 4 stories below ground.

WTC Employee-1:

"I go down stairs, the forman tells me to remove the containers...in the corridor...that's when I got blown...I mean, the impact of the EXPLOSION...threw me to the floor, and that's when everything started to happen."

"I know people who got killed in the basement. I know people who got broken legs in the basement. People got reconstructive surgery because the walls hit 'em in the face..."


WTC Employee-2:

"What happened was, I was down in the basement, suddenly, we heard a loud bang, and the elevator doors blew open..."


WTC Employee-3:

"It was Just...at the BOTTOM that the BUILDING, was Just going out."


WTC Employee-4 (William Rodriguez):

"I worked in the building for 20 years. I was the person in charge of the stairwells in the building. I have the only master key that opens all the doors in the building. And I went floor-by-floor, opening all the doors."

"On 9/11 at 8:46 AM, I was at the basement at the North Tower, the first Tower to be impacted...while I was there, A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE THE PLANE HIT, there was a HUGE EXPLOSION on the SUB-LEVEL B-2 to SUB-LEVEL B-3."

Host: "So there was AN EXPLOSION FROM BELOW YOU?"

WR: "Correct...That was a SECOND or TWO BEFORE...

Host (interrupting): "But it was CLEAR...THE EXPLOSION WAS BEFORE THE PLANE HIT THE BUILDING?"

WR: "DEFINITELY! DEFINITELY!

As a matter of fact, it was so hard that I thought it was an electrical generator that blew up on the Sub-Level. Because there, the support of the building, in terms of electrical pumps, were located by the mechanical room by..."

"When I went to...we heard the impact of the plane. VERY FAR AWAY, COMING FROM THE TOP."

"So there was a BIG DIFFERENCE between somthing coming from the top and something coming from the basement."

"I mean, I worked there for 20 years. I could tell the difference of one thing coming from the top (voice fades, and video clip ends)."

WTC Basement Explosions (Part-2)

"Pre-Collapse - Sub-Basement Explosions"


"All the windows were BLOWN OUT of the lobby."

"The lobby, looked like the plane hit the lobby."

Narrator: "What caused so much wreakage in the lobby?"

William Rodriguez, a maintenance employee at the WTC, and the last human being to exit the Towers alive, describes the GIANT BLAST BELOW HIS BUILDING:

WR: "All the sudden we heard an EXPLOSION. It was A HUGE EXPLOSION THAT CAME FROM UNDER MY FEAT."

Meaning, that IT CAME FROM THE SUB-LEVELS, BETWEEN B2 AND B3, and there was a huge explosion at the top of the building."

"YOU COULD HEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM AND THE TOP."

"Andthe one from the top which was ACTUALLY SECONDS AFTER, WAS HEARD VERY FAR AWAY."

"The one at the BASEMENT WAS PRETTY LOUD AND YOU FELT YOUR ACTUAL FEET MOVING WITH THE FLOOR."

"THE STRENGTH SENT THROUGH THE FLOORS, THAT THE WALLS CRACKED AND THE FALSE-CEILING COLLAPSED."

"There was a person, named Phellipe David, came running into our office, saying: 'EXPLOSION!
EXPLOSION! EXPLOSION!"

"I saw him, he had skin from under his armpits and missing pieces of his face."

Narrator: "AN EXPLOSION DEEP DOWN IN THE TOWERS, BEFORE THE PLANE HIT 98 FLOORS ABOVE!"
