9/11 hero to speak at UW

A World Trade Center maintenance worker who helped more than a dozen victims escape from the building’s north tower before it collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, is speaking on the UW campus Saturday.

William Rodriguez, of New Jersey, is believed to have been the last man to get out of the World Trade Center alive. He is scheduled to talk at 7 p.m. in Room 3650 of the Humanities Building.

….Rodriguez will be introduced by local 9/11 conspiracy theorist Kevin Barrett, who believes the U.S. government was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks and is author of “Truth Jihad: My Epic Struggle Against the 9/11 Big Lie.”
