Minutes before 10 a.m. last Thursday, Feb. 16, a pile of elevated steel beams that had been lifted into the air by a crane atop Tower 4 fell to the ground. The accident resulted in no injuries, according to John Gallagher, vice president of public affairs at Tishman Construction.“The cable of a crane broke,” Gallagher explained, “causing the steel it was lifting to fall approximately 40 stories back onto the flatbed truck that had transported the steel into the W.T.C. site.”
“Everybody was yelling and running,” construction worker Frank Pensabene told the Associated Press.
New York Police Department Commissioner Paul Browne confirmed the news and specified that the incident occurred between Towers 3 and 4.
Downtown service on the Number 1 train was temporarily suspended, and some of the construction at the W.T.C. site was stopped pending an investigation of the mishap, according to Gallagher. “We are investigating the matter in full cooperation with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the FDNY and the city Department of Buildings,” he said.
