3 workers hurt in collapse of NYC building wall
Three construction workers were hurt — one critically — when the rear wall of a building under demolition collapsed in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
“When the wall collapsed, one of the construction workers was trapped by the debris, and two of the workers fell on top of the debris.” FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens said at a press conference at the scene on Lafayette Street near Canal Street, where Mayor Eric Adams and Fire Department Commissioner Laura Kavanagh went to after the incident.
“One of the violations was for overloading work level, so it’s possible,” the commish said. “It’s [a] preliminary indication that [that’s] how it began.”
