I say the main one when it collapsed was Mazzocchi but there were a lot more other contrtractors that noone knows about. Some of them even are out of business or closed their demo division

There were 5 general contractors:
- Turner Construction / Plaza Construction Joint Venture was in charge of the are between Tower 5 and 6.
- Bovis Lend Lease was in charge of the southwest corner of the site.
- AMEC Construction Management was in charge of the northwest corner.
- Tully Constructoin took on the northeast corner.
- Tishman Construction worked on Tower 7 demolition.

In early 2002, Bovis was named the construction manager for the remainder of the WTC Recovery project.

I know of the following demolition contractors that were on site:
CDI
Mazzocchi Wrecking
Gateway Demolition
DH Griffin
Seasons Contracting
Breeze National
Big Apple Wrecking

First qualify the reason for all the .'s

Just when you thought those excavators were tough....that crane is intense.

There is a company over here (NACIREMA) who repaints their equipment every other weekend. One operator scratched a c/w and they immediately took him off that machine

That's ridiculous if its blatant than thats one thing but accidents happen, a shiny paint job doesn't make the machine dig any faster.
