New York City - Worker Dies in Building Fall By Lindsay Faber
According to building officials, Brown was climbing down a ladder leaning precariously against a residential building he was working on at 1180 Jackson Ave. A 12-foot stationary scaffold was positioned six feet away from the building itself, and the ladder was angled against the scaffold pointed towards the roof, Buildings Department spokeswoman Ilyse Fink said.
'The weight of the worker and the angle of the ladder pried the scaffold away from the building and the worker fell three stories,' Fink said.
