Worker rescued after falling 20 stories between buildings on Lower East Side
A worker was rescued after falling between two buildings on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.It's believed the worker fell some 30 feet, which is about three stories."They were able to breach the wall and we were able to insert one of our rescue medics to begin patient care immediately on the victim until he was eventually removed and transported to a local area hospital," said Division Chief Mark Bonilla, EMS.
"It was very difficult. We had a solid concrete wall. The members took about a half hour to breach the wall. We made a cut about six feet wide by two feet high. We eventually pulled the worker out through the hole," Leverock said. "We used partner saws with concrete blades and jackhammers. It took about a half hour to get him."The building was under construction at the time of the accident.
