Perhaps he should have worn a safety harness...
Cue the non-union and illegal alien worker chorus!
I wonder if cops were immediately deployed to the area to make sure no photos were taken of him.

This preventable tragedy is blocks away from where the city council just approved a environmentally dangerous rezoning for taller buildings.
This has to be stopped somehow. Primary de Blasio.
It's Trumps fault....
Wait two weeks---it will be found that safe practices were not in place. Developers were cutting corners on something-equipment, procedures or training.
Mere collateral damage for the owner.
