      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.

      Someone defending themselves doesn’t need to drag people in other professions down. Yes, people in trades deserve more praise imo, but it doesn’t require you to talk down on law enforcement/firefighters/etc to do that.

      I'm not degrading law enforcement or firefighting. It's statistically factual that construction is more hazardous. Timber falling, farming, long haul trucking, and commercial fishing are also more dangerous, as well.

    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.

    I watched a documentary saying half the floor space is empty. To many raw memories companies would rather be in smaller buildings. You really can’t blame them watching 9/11 was horrible I was 19 watching it live with my gran. The families suffered so much. Some never got any remains to bury.

    Probally the most extreme dangerous job one can do, whatever they are getting paid it's not enough, only certain ones can do it..one has to process the rare passion...very rate, my hats off to them.🇺🇸👍

    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.

    The amount of respect and admiration for the people who helped build/create this incredible structure, cannot be summed up in just a few words or sentences. Not only were they incredibly talented people, but also unbelievably brave, strong willed, dedicated, and passionate about what they do. Many people, especially those who built these massive structures before the World Trade Center, didn't have the type of safety equipment that they do now. The Trade Center👷‍♂️👷‍♂️builders👷‍♂️👷‍♂️ also didn't have the same safety equipment as they do now. Imagine being 50, 60, 80, 90 stories in the air, walking on a metal girder, no safety harness, nothing to aid in helping you. Add to that, the WEATHER also played a huge part of your job. Up that high? Say 70-100 stories up, and the 🌬💨wind🌬💨 picks up, or worse, 🌧🌦rain⛈🌩thunderstorms🌧🌦lightning⛈🌩hail🌧🌦? 🚶‍♀️Walking🚶‍♂️ around on a girder/beam, that high up, wind gusts changing, these men had to not only be incredibly focused, but unbelievably brave, and have nerves of steel. Now I have a moderate fear of heights. I love 🎢🎢Rollercoasters🎢🎢, but put me high up, I'm not the most stable. I give those men who built these massive structures all the respect, admiration, and props that they 200% truly deserve!

    This has now made me realize these construction workers as unsung heroes. Before construction was another job but, most other jobs hardly compare when it comes to something as touching as the world trade center.

      You realize that it was built in the 1970's, right? Some of the dudes who helped build the original towers were probably only in their late 40's during 9/11...

      Greysen Gagne my dad was born in 71 and hes 47. That said, more like late 50s/early 60s for most depending on when they hopped on the job considering it took i beleive 13 years originally to build. Either way. Unless the workers on the original were already in thier 50s-60s/70s, most of the workers were still alive sadly :(

    I often think about all the men who were apart of the original building team for the towers and how would crushing it must’ve been for any of them to see the towers come down. I would’ve taken it personally. So it’s glad to hear some of their stories in this vid and see some in the comments.

      They're paid $90+ an hour, and that isn't with the frequent OT/DT - they don't look for appreciation, they earn it.
