I was a Union Journeyman Ironworker (International Brotherhood of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Ironworkers)
By Apprenticeship not born into the trade.
That is how I came to know and be part of their experiences.
Operators (Crane) and Ironworkers are thicker than most
as the Operator hold lives in hands, most often Ironworker lives.
They are the best and Ironworkers are the best.
WTC was a war zone in all it's horror.
Not without permission would I talk for them, I did not go to NYC they did.
As heartbreaking as their experiences are (not were).
Suffice to say their observations agree in my opinions above.
And the workers of Steel know steel and its' behavior, we have to.
I have never ever been as proud to be "A Cowboy Of The Sky" as I was on 9-11.
A decade after I quit and fell, still proud not vain.
The Workers that were needed were driving to NYC,
unbidden and UNPAID and
endangered by GWBu$h's EPA LIES.
Consider this point. Above and below.
But they were coming to NYC by the hundreds the same damn day.
Load the truck and git...
they knew who was needed and what was to be done.
Grab the torch and do it. Bring in the main line and lower the boom a taste.
Jargonese for "Get 'er done Can Do".
I will leave it right there.
As the Song says,
More than Nuff Said.
If you ain't walked the high steel, I feel sorry for your ignorance.

Read not to contradict and confute;
nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse;
but to weigh and consider.
