On Wednesday, May 19, 2021, a tragic accident involving two construction workers, one supervisor, and their right-hand man, plummeted down four stories in an elevator that ultimately ended in the death of one with serious injuries to another.
Located in Mott Haven, the building in which the incident took place is known for its rooftop "iHeartRadio" sign and has been under construction and renovation to become a school. The supervisor died from the impact of the collapsed elevator while the other was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
