On the morning of September 11, 2001, seventeen members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3, working for various firms throughout the World Trade Center complex, were killed in the collapse of the Twin Towers.
If you visit the National September 11 Museum (and if you have not done so, I cannot implore you enough to do so), then you can see the Last Column. At the completion of the recovery operation at Ground Zero in May 2002, Kevin Flynn of Local 3 left this marking on the Last Column to honor his fallen brothers.
Local 3 had more members killed at the World Trade Center than any other local contruction union did. The seventeen men from Local 3 who died on that terrible Tuesday morning were: Thomas J. Ashton, James Marcel Cartier, Robert John Caufield, Joseph Di Pilato, Salvatore Fiumefreddo, Harvey Robert Hermer, Ralph Michael Licciardi, Michael W. Lowe, Charles Peter Lucania, Lester V. Marino, Jose Angel Martinez Jr., Joseph M. Romagnolo, Anthony Segarra, Jeffrey James Shaw, Steven R. Strauss, Glenn J. Travers Sr. and Kenneth Wilburn White Jr.
