Carl,
The sub basement of tower 1 contained massive electrical switches and transformers and the largest refrigeration plant in the world. In 1992... not '93 one or more of the transformers exploded and the insulting oil which cools them which is very flammable caught fire. Mr Rodriguez may know of this incident if he was there at the time.
Electrical shorts can generator extreme temperatures.. try connect to the terminals of your car batter with a fork and see what happens... the fork will melt!
The electrical power for the twin towers comes from the Con Ed sub station under building 7 and it receives power from a larger one in Motthaven in the Bronx Power is like a river system in reverse... it floors from the wide powerful river into smaller and small tributaries. Transformers are how the power is separated into smaller currents (voltage and amperage). Stepping power down or up with transformers generates enormous heat and these devices must be cooled by *radiators*. The radiators are filled with an oil which is flammable and when heat releases an explosive gas. This makes these devices very dangerous and vulnerable to explosions. Transformers, large and small explode all the time.
When a unit is taken off line and begins to cool down it pulls in moisture. If it it not properly dehumidified the moisture heats and becomes steam explosion.. and then you can have electrical shorts and so on. Read up on power transformers.. there were scores and scores of the in the twin towers and massive one's under building 7.
William Rodriquez told me when asked specifically that he heard an explosion... and did not say a bomb. And does not know if it was a bomb. He told me he never heard a power transformer explode and that it could have been that. He said it was a loud explosion about a second before the plane struck.
The damage in the Lobby was from multiple sources.. some fuel came down the elevator shaft and ignited and perhaps was aerosolized and exploded... and there were the explosions of the electrical and refrigeration below in the sub basement.
William likely heard/experienced a transformer explosion at the precise moment of impact of the plane.. and the SOUND a second later since sound travels slower the electricity. The sub basement explosion was caused by the plane strike shorting out large power cables running up to the top of the building's 2 13.8 kv sub stations.
The plane strike also caused a short up stream in the power station under building 7 at 0846 the precise moment of the plane strike. Con Ed reported this outage... and up to 8 - 13kv feeders shortly thereafter... as the electrical system was experiencing a cascading failure from shorts.
There are other rational explanations for the observations. But you have to look and do some study of the building and its systems to understand what was happening.
