Two Men Fall 60 Feet during Construction Accident

Two men fell sixty feet to their death on the Upper West Side as a result of a construction accident.

The two men were ironworkers while on the site of a building that is being redeveloped for a church. According to an anonymous law enforcement official the beam that the men were standing on gave way on the seventh floor. Although fire personnel rushed to the scene and administered CPR to one of the victims, their efforts were lost on the two men who were later pronounced dead. The men were taken to two separate hospitals.

The site contractor, the F.J. Sciame Construction Company, has publicly confirmed the deaths of the two men. Although their identities are not being released until their next of kin have been notified, it is known that they were aged 49 and 51.

This accident happened at 150 West 83rd Street, near Amsterdam Avenue. The building is being constructed for the Redeemer Presbyterian church.
