NEW YORK, Sept 17 (AFP) - While public attention has largely focused on New York's firefighters, the city's ironworkers are also playing a vital role in the arduous rescue operation, cutting through the twisted girders that once held up the city's tallest buildings.

Members of a profession that has been building and dismembering skyscrapers for a century, they are at the front line of the search for the 5,000 people missing after two hijacked airlines slammed into the twin towers on September 11.

"There's so much steel in all these buildings, we can't remove it," said fireman Steve Tumulty, surveying the towering mountain of molten concrete, metal and glass.

"It's 110 storey buildings, so the number of beams is unbelievable."

Weary after a night in this apocalyptic wreckage, he explained: "We dig down until the steel is there and we can't dig down any further. Then the ironworkers come in and take over.

"They climb the steel, cut it off and pull it out with big cranes. After they take out the steel, we go in there and dig again... We recover bodies, whatever we can find... Without them, there's no way we can remove all those stuff, no way we can go on."

New York's metalworkers flooded to the site of the WTC within minutes of the tragedy last Tuesday. At any one time since then, there are four to five hundred working at the site round the clock.

Every morning teams sent by their powerful trade union come in to take over from exhausted colleagues.

On Monday it was the turn of John Carlisle and Jose Guzman to step stony-faced into the smoke with their huge monkey wrenches and hammers.

"We never had anything like this... Never on such a scale," said John. "Most of the collapses we've been to are woodframe buildings."

Perched on top of a mountain of concrete slabs, a mechanical digger tries in vain to lift a wall out of the way. A fireman waves the driver to stop and three ironworkers scale the wreckage dragging their blow torches and gas bottles behind them. A few seconds later they disappear beneath a shower of sparks.

By the end of the morning, scores of their colleagues were already queuing in front of the union table, all huge, tatooed and proud of belonging to the lineage which built New York, and of the key role they play today.

Photos of their fathers and grandfathers swinging above the void on girders that will become the Empire State Building hang in sitting rooms throughout the world.

For several days the New York authorities have been trying to dissuade hordes of volunteers descending on Lower Manhattan to help claw through the debris. But the ironworkers are the exception, welcomed with open arms as long as they belong to the union, which has made a deal with the rescue services.

"My father built those towers," sighs Scott Riccio from neighbouring New Jersey, grimly surveying the scene. "I'm happy he died without seeing that."
