911 - HE WAS THE JANITOR🔑 And on September 11, 2001 the key in his pocket suddenly became one of the most important keys in America. His name was William Rodriguez. He had worked at the World Trade Center for roughly 20 years. That morning, Rodriguez was in the basement of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building. Chaos erupted. A badly burned man appeared. Rodriguez helped him. Then he could have gotten out. He went back … Because Rodriguez had something almost nobody else in that building had: A MASTER KEY 🔑 It opened the stairwell doors throughout the North Tower. Firefighters and police were rushing into a building thousands of terrified people were trying to escape. Rodriguez knew the building. And he had the key. So he went UP with the rescuers. Floor after floor. Door after door. Unlock. Open. Keep moving. People were coming down. Rodriguez kept going up. He reportedly made it as high as the 39th floor before firefighters ordered him to turn around. Think about that. The building had been struck by a passenger jet. Smoke was spreading. People were desperately trying to get OUT. And the janitor was climbing farther INSIDE. Rodriguez eventually made it back down and survived. But approximately 200 people he knew at the World Trade Center did not. 25 years later he still carries the memories of that morning. And he still has the master key. We remember the firefighters. We remember the police officers. We remember the passengers who fought back. 🔥We should also remember the janitor with the key. William Rodriguez wasn’t carrying a badge. He wasn’t carrying a weapon. He was carrying something much simpler. A key. And when America was attacked, he used what he had to help save whoever he could. Never forget William Rodriguez.
