Maybe it´s proofable if there where bombs
or not. William Rodriguez talked (and (s)ome
others i dont remind) about the elevator doors,
wich were blown open.
Working 20 Years in the Building, William and
other people should remind which specific
elevator doors were blown.
If not all elevators did reach entireley to the
floors where the planes hit, these doors
should´nt have been blown during the
fireball walking down the shafts, am i right?
It would be helpfull to have blueprints or
someone who knows the towers like Willi.

Oliver
William Rodriguez has changed his story since he brought a lawsuit against the government.
His initial story was much different than his later versions of events. I wouldn't put too much stock in him if I were you.
By the way, there is a grave misconception about the layout of the elevators in the WTC towers. People look at a schematic that has been widely distributed and think that it actually shows all of the elevators but if you bother to count them, it shows no more than 15 of the 99 or 100 that were actually in each tower. The schematic is merely representative, not comprehensive.
The drawing I refer to is this:
For instance, there were 12 elevator cars that ran express from the 78th floor to the lobby (powered by a massive bank of elevator machines on the 81st floor) but many people think that there is only 1 because the representational drawing only shows 1. This is a good example of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". It is beyond dispute that there were 12, not 1, and it is beyond dispute that the drawing is merely representational, but people who do not delve beyond the surface (read: conspiracy theorists) will misinterpret reality all day long rather than actually do any real research themselves.
People also are mistaken about the shafts, probably because they look at that same graphic and do not realize that on each floor, there were multiple elevator cars, not just one as depicted in the graphic.
As I understand it, the shafts themselves were uninterrupted from top to bottom, even though most of the elevators did not stop on every floor. The local elevator cars, then, could be "stacked" within the core space, with each of the local elevator cars programmed to stop only on certain floors. For instance, imagine that some of the local elevators stopped only on floors 20 through 30. The shafts would still have to run from the lobby, obviously, and could not just magically begin on floor 20.
It is the "stacking" arrangement that allowed them to fit 100 elevators into the core.
Moreover, the bulk of those shafts were open rather than sealed (but I'll get into the details of that later rather than put too much into this post), such that there were numerous elevators among the various lift mechanisms that were all in open "shafts" side by side ... i.e. not "hermetically sealed" or even non-hermetically sealed for that matter.
Also, remember that the entire diagram above is of the CORE, not the building, and remember that the rest of the space within the core where the elevators are located is just empty space, with nothing to stop the flow of liquids, such as jet fuel. The drawing may be misleading to those who don't know that because they will probably erroneously assume that lines drawn to delineate elevation are actual "floors" as in concrete and such, when, of course, there was no such division in the core. The lines are there only to denote elevation, not structure in the core, which was, of course, empty other than elevator shafts and staircases.
Repeat: remember, this is just the core - the out of sight, out of mind, space with nothing but stairs and elevators in it, and not the rentable space of the building.
I am told that all of the shafts actually ran from top to bottom, which makes perfect sense and no other arrangement would make any sense, frankly.
I will add more later about the mythical "hermetically sealed" shafts that the CTers like to cite. I am just awaiting confirmation of a couple of additional facts before posting it here.
