NYC - World Trade Center (WTC) Archive - Rebuilding New York City and Lower Manhattan

AMERICA WILL NEVER FORGET!

How was the electrical industry specifically affected? Losses in the construction family were particularly painful, as employees of various building trade unions took a particularly hard hit in the WTC attack. Among the more than 200 IBEW Local 3 members who were working in the twin towers that morning, 16 died in the collapse of the WTC, according to Ray Melville, assistant business manager of the IBEW Local. A total of 72 employees of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are still missing and presumed dead. One New York distributor lost a delivery driver. Many contractors and electricians working at the WTC and Pentagon narrowly escaped death. And several engineering and construction firms housed in the 110-story twin towers were destroyed.

"Union Burying Ground"

Woody Guthrie (1946)

I see they're lowering right new coffin,
I see they're letting down right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
And the new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
The new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
O, tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Another union organizer,
Another union organizer,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union brother and a union sister,
A union brother and a union sister,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union father and a union mother,
And union father and a union mother,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Well, I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand new ones,
Every new grave brings a thousand members,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand brothers,
And every new grave brings a thousand sisters,
To the union in that Union Burying Ground.
