The fatality occurred at the Gateway Tunnel site in New York City





By Jim Parsons

A construction worker at the massive Hudson Yards Amtrak tunnel project in Manhattan died on Oct. 23 after falling into an excavated pit.

The worker, an employee of New York Concrete Corp. of Staten Island, reportedly was at ground level at the Hudson Yards Concrete Casing 3 (HYCC-3) site when he fell 60 ft to the bottom through an opening just before 9 a.m. According to the Fire Dept. of New York’s social media posts, first responders performed a high-angle rescue using a stretcher basket and a “construction apparatus” to extract the worker, who has not been publicly identified. Local media reports say he was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead.

Worker Dies After Falling at Construction Site for Hudson Tunnel Project
The man, who was working at a site at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, fell 60 feet into a pit below, according to the New York Fire Department.

The worker fell about 60 feet, Anthony Romano, a battalion chief at the New York Fire Department, said at a news conference on Thursday morning. The authorities did not immediately release his name; the union he belonged to later identified him as Jorge Sanchez, 52.

Chief Romano said the man had been working on a recently poured foundation wall when he fell into a pit below just before 9 a.m. “We do not know how or why,” Chief Romano said.

About 60 fire and emergency medical personnel were called to the scene after the fall, according to the Fire Department. They found that Mr. Sanchez was not breathing and had no pulse. He was lifted from the pit on a stretcher and taken to a hospital.
