Seven tons of steel fell on a construction trailer across the street from Ground Zero today, injuring an architect working on a new corporate headquarters for a banking and investment giant, Goldman Sachs Group, it was reported.
Press reports said a crane dropped the steel studs being lifted to the 13th Floor of the 30-story building, according to authorities at the site. Goldman Sachs has been cited for numerous violations that include unsafe lifting operations and a failure to use safe procedures. The project is being constructed by Tishman Construction Corp. Architect Robert Wood was injured in the accident and hospitalized.
The Goldman building is a $2 billion project going up across the street from the Freedom Tower.

I wish the best for Mr. Wood. Hopefully, he will take legal action against Goldman Sachs. Obviously, they have the money, and surely, they have insurance.
