Bayonne City Hall Display Recalls September 11 and the Ground Zero Recovery Operations

Posted September 10, 2025

Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that Jim Mock, a retired union carpenter, has provided materials from recovery operations at the World Trade Center for a display at the Bayonne City Hall lobby.  Following the terrorist attack on the original World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Mr. Mock spent eighteen months working on recovery operations in Lower Manhattan with numerous other building trades workers.  In an interview, Mr. Mock said the once strong steel from the World Trade Center had become “like spaghetti.”  He said that working conditions during the recovery operations were terrible, due to the cillica in the air.  Mr. Mock recalled that recovery workers made a special effort to salvage any objects that might bear the DNA of the victims.
