    That's crazy for a father to put up 1 tower, it gets destroyed, so the son puts up the next tower. Dope

      My father in law worked there with his father as Local 40 Ironworkers.
      I was with him and his son during the rescue/recovery efforts and rebuilt the majority of the structures there today with my brother in law Tommy Hickey..
      There were several Ironworker families with the same story.
      Many Mohawk Ironworkers from Kahnawake snd Awkwesasne as well.
      There were a few fathers working there with their sons or daughters as well..
      Many of the newer apprentices don’t have a relation in the business and are determined to build their own legacies!
      Remind these HS kids thst sometimes college isn’t the best option if you like working with your hands!!

    My grandfather Chuck Sky was a Mohawk Iron Worker From Kahnawake who worked on both trades centre buildings from the start in 1968 till it’s completion in 1973 along side his brothers. Iron working is a legacy career for us Iroquois peoples and we take much pride in the structures our brothers and sisters have built in Canada and the USA. My grandfather Chuck would always talk about the twin towers when I was a little kid and how proud he was of those buildings, in a way I’m thankful his passing came before 9/11 because I know in my heart he would have been so devastated to witness that day as I have. I have cousins who are iron workers to this very day and who rushed to NYC to help with the efforts afterwards and family members who worked on the new building at the remembrance site years later. New York holds a special place in my heart but I will forever be grateful and proud of my grandfathers contributions to that city, I also grieve and keep those who lost their lives on that day.

    Tougher and more dangerous work than law enforcement, firefighting, and most military jobs... and no one makes movies about them.

      Many people at the refinery make 180-200k a year, I chose not to be one of those because I actually want to spend time with my children. 150k is good enough for me lol

    These ironworkers are all truly amazing people. I really appreciate the opportunity to hear about this chapter in the lives of these men, their WTC One chapter. I got so many questions though. So how do not fall? Does it make you feel like ... wobbly or out of balance to be that high up from the ground? Do you ever feel queasy? Does everyone wear safety harnesses? Has anyone ever fallen that you knew?
    I’m old now. I’ve been through a lot. No stranger to terrorism. No one is anymore I guess. Makes me sad too. A lot. Oklahoma City. Lower Manhattan. So I guess that’s probably why I don’t even like going inside buildings these days. So it’s cool to be able to see such an amazing achievement. Accomplishment. I mean lol I’m a wealth of useless (useful sometimes) knowledge yet I avoid multi story structures as if my life depends on it.
    They tear it down. You rebuild it.
    I think y’all should make more videos. Just anything. I like to hear their stories.
    THATS the good stuff.
    Thanks for sharing your remarkable stories. I’ll share this video.
    Live long and prosper.

    The first time i ever saw whats involved to be an iron worker was back in 1997 at the Ekati Diamond Mine in the NWT Canada.Watching two workers trying to connect massive steel beams ,trying to line it up to insert the larger bolts,it takes brute force,no fear and determination.There the first to build the structure that supports the rest,many thanks...

    People talking about how tradesmen are undervalued, people complaining how out of those under valued tradesmen that iron workers get all the glory. Jesus Christ WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE. Sometimes people aren't aware of what goes into a building. We're not all in the trade business and we're not all doing masonry or tile or iron, etc. Everyone chill. I appreciate what an American does for another American, or anyone for that matter. That's what/who I appreciate.
