NYC construction bill safety comes too late for 3 workers
Two New York City construction workers at two different worksites plunged to their deaths and another was seriously injured Thursday – a day after the City Council approved a controversial construction safety bill.
In one incident, news sources say workers were raising a framework to begin pouring a concrete floor for a luxury condo high-rise when 36-year-old Juan Chonillo fell 29 stories to his death. The Ecuadorian immigrant had ten years of construction experience.
