Worker dies after falling at construction site at Hudson Yards in New York City

On Thursday, a construction worker died after a 60-foot fall at Hudson Yards; he was an employee of the New York Concrete Corporation working on the Gateway tunnel project.
The $16 billion Gateway project includes the Hudson Yards site, one of five Gateway projects building a right of way to connect future tunnels to Penn Station.
Responders lowered a basket, performed CPR, and `when the EMS units arrived on scene, they met with the fire units,` said Nicholas Aiello, FDNY EMS Division Chief.
All work was suspended on the Hudson Yards Concrete casing project while Amtrak police investigate, and the Gateway Development Commission, Amtrak, and Related Companies extended their profound condolences to the worker's family.
Officials said the cause is unclear and the incident remains under investigation, noting another June incident where a worker was injured by heavy machinery in a 30-foot hole.
