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.
