    Worker Is Killed in Accident at Trump SoHo Tower - By SEWELL CHAN, New York Times Blog
    Charles V. Bagli, Al Baker, Thomas J. Lueck and Mathew R. Warren contributed reporting.

    The worker fell from the 42nd story — the uppermost story built so far — at 1:52 p.m. when the wooden structure broke apart while concrete was being poured into it, Assistant Chief Thomas Galvin of the Fire Department said at an afternoon news conference. A second worker fell from the 42nd story but was saved by some netting around the 40th floor. That worker was hospitalized with injuries. One other worker suffered minor injuries. All three workers were employed by DiFama Concrete, a concrete subcontractor for Bovis Lend Lease, the general contractor.
