Construction worker dies in fall

A construction worker fell 40 stories from a Midtown tower being built by Larry Silverstein today. The accident happened at Silver Towers at River Place, two 60-story apartment buildings at 600 West 42nd Street. The worker was part of a crew dismantling a crane. He apparently fell from a walkway between the crane and the tower. More than 20 people have been killed in New York City construction accidents this year.
