"A worker fell 48 stories to his death — about 500 feet — at 9:29 a.m. Thursday from a movable walkway at a construction site at West 41st Street and 11th Avenue, on the Far West Side of Manhattan, according to city officials." Authorities have determined a construction crane was not faulty, and a DOB spokeswoman said the tower is structurally sound. The construction site is Larry Silverstein's Silver Towers, the 1,350-apartment rental megacomplex. [City Room]
