His name is Willie Rodriguez and he was a hero that day. However, his story changed several times. One thing people get stuck on is a statement by him that a 50 ton press just 'disappeared'. The problem being that no one on the truther side knew what a 50 ton press looks like.

50 ton press:


Please note, it doesn't weigh 50 tons, it's able to press 50 tons of force to put on a rear wheel bearing or something.

If you have seen how the WTCs were built, their steel framework went to bedrock, I think 6 stories below the lobby so when the building flexed, it flexed all the way to bedrock. I think people think the lobby level is where the swaying stopped not including the basements, parking garages, etc. so they don't understand how the plane impacting the building affected the sub level Willie Rodriguez was on.

Now I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure one (maybe two) of the enormous freight elevators went all the way to the bedrock so burning fuel could easily reach all of the sub levels.
