MILFORD, CT — Tony Reno and Melissa Sheketoff, co-hosts of Tony and Melissa in the Morning on WICC600, Bridgeport’s news/talk radio station, will host a live on-air memorial for the 33rd anniversary of the L’Ambiance Plaza collapse starting at 9am on Thursday, April 23, 2020.

“With the annual in-person memorial unable to happen this year due to COVID-19, we knew we had to do something to remember that day in Bridgeport,” Tony Reno stated.

Tony and Melissa will be joined by special guests during the hour, including Congressman Jim Himes, Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, and Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim.

At 9:30am, Tony and Melissa will be joined by Daniel McInerney, Organizer at IBEW Local Union 488, to read the names of the construction workers who lost their lives on April 23, 1987. The collapse caused seven completed floors of the building’s structure to topple inward, claiming the lives of 28 construction workers, and injuring 22 others, and remains the worst construction disaster in Connecticut history.
