Hardhat's miracle fall BY TONY SCLAFANI, New York Daily News
A throng of firefighters attends to construction worker Mamadou Diouf, who fell 6 stories at Brooklyn work site.
A construction worker miraculously survived a six-story plunge in Brooklyn yesterday when the roof of a building under construction collapsed, officials said.
Mamadou Diouf, 34, was buried under a pile of wood and cement before firefighters rescued him at 3030 Emmons Ave. in Sheepshead Bay, fire officials said. Diouf fell 60 feet, leaving him with multiple injuries, including possible fractured legs.
He was rushed to Lutheran Medical Center in stable but serious condition. Fire officials blamed the accident on shoddy work that left the wooden roof unstable.------------------------------------------- posted 7:22 AM :: reference link ::
