William Rodriguez speaking in Bristol Feb 5th
As New York came under attack on September 11th 2001, janitor William Rodriguez bravely remained in the North Tower to help save dozens of lives. The last man out as the tower was collapsing, he has since been honoured five times by the White House for outstanding courage. After the 9/11 attacks, William helped coordinate the efforts of survivors’ and victim’s families’ to lobby the US government to hold an enquiry into what happened that day. When he came to give evidence, he was one of the only witnesses the 9/11 Commission heard behind closed doors. None of his testimony – nor that of several other eyewitnesses – was included in the Commission’s final report, published in July 2004. He now leads two 9/11 campaigns representing the interests of survivors, victims and relatives of the dead: the Victims Support Group and Hispanic Victims Group. As part of his UK tour William is in Bristol on the 5th February to tell his story at the IMAX Cinema, @Bristol, Harbourside. Doors open at 6:00 pm and the event begins at 7:00pm. Tickets are priced at £6, with a £4 concessionary rate available from the @Bristol box office on 0117 915 5000.
