WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

The demolition of the former Deutsche Bank building across from ground zero has suffered another setback. A 22-foot metal pipe fell from its 35th floor and crashed through the roof of a firehouse next door. No one was seriously hurt, although two firefighters received hospital treatment.

In the meantime, work at the site has been halted indefinitely while the city reviews safety precautions and demolition procedures there.
