City Halts Construction on Goldman Sachs Tower

New York, NY —

City officials have stopped construction on the future Goldman Sachs headquarters near Ground Zero. This after a chunk of steel fell 18 stories onto a field where children were playing. The city Buildings Department says no one was hurt in the Saturday afternoon accident where Tishman Construction is building the tower. The company, which has been cited for five violations, has not commented.

The Buildings Department says the 30x30" piece of steel fell from an outdoor construction elevator carrying materials to the 43-story structure's upper floors. The steel was being used as a bridge between the lift and the building for unloading materials.
