Some sad news from earlier this week: on Monday afternoon a construction worker fell to his death from a building on W 33^rd St between 9^th & 10^th Aves, as the Post reports:

Cops say the man was working 12 stories above ground level at 434 West 33^rd Street around 3:30 p.m.

The construction worker fell to the second story, where he landed on scaffolding, authorities said.

The man was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced DOA, according to authorities.

Very sad to hear. And making it even more troubling is how long it apparently took crews to remove the worker’s body from the site, according to commenters on CBS NY’s article on the incident. Our condolences to the man’s family…
