Worker dies in Manhattan building collapse


From CBS:

One person was killed and another seriously injured when the interior of a building that was being demolished collapsed Friday morning.

The collapse took place at around 10:30 a.m. at 27 West 38th St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues.

The seriously injured worker from Northeast Service Interiors was trapped in the building’s basement for three hours.

The demolition had the proper permits. Work will stop until the city determines it can restart safely.

The demolition had the proper permits....Permits maybe, trained legal workers, doubtful.

No names? That is curious. The DOB needs to review the paperwork filed by the company that was named as doing the demo. From the website it seems lacking.
