Woo Improving

Robert Woo, the 39-year-old architect injured when tons of steel came crashing down onto this construction trailer at Ground Zero has improved.
Woo has been moved out of intensive care after suffering a serious spine injury in the accident. He is unable to walk, according to press reports, and he is heavily mediated but he is reportedly improving after surgery to install pins in his back.
“The doctors are saying that it’s still too early to tell, they’re telling us that we should be prepared that he won’t walk again — but I don’t accept that,” Robert Woo’s brother, Peter, told the Daily Record of Morris County, N.J..

Woo was in a trailer, working on the new office tower for Goldman Sachs, when a crane dropped tons of metal construction material from several stories up.
The heavy load crushed the trailer. Only Woo was injured.
