1 Construction Worker Killed During Bank Demolition In Brooklyn Area

 At 8:30 AM, on Thursday, May 27th, a 49-year-old Bronx resident plummeted four stories after slipping off a piece of concrete during demolition on the Flatbush Bank, ultimately leading to his death. The bank was located between Flatbush Avenue and Duryea Place where medics arrived to rush him to Kings County Hospital. 

Unfortunately, the injured construction worker from the Bronx if not survive, and his name has yet to be released. Bypasser Andrew Anderson shared a statement, "He was working o the roof and it just fell in," prompting speculation on whether the construction worker was wearing the proper equipment necessary while working on a demolition project.
