Recommended Article: Glass From Goldman Sachs Tower Falls on West Street

The following recommended article from The Tribeca Trib "Glass From Goldman Sachs Tower Falls on West Street" discusses the current construction project of Goldman Sachs Tower Falls on West Street. The $2.4 billion project, aimed to be completed by early next year, has experienced a series of construction accidents. It's most current being its fourth incident of falling debris or equipment since construction on the building began.

Accidents on the project include: an architect being paralyzed after a crane dropped several tons of steel onto his office trailer, a 30-inch steel panel flew of the tower landing in a field during a Little League game, and a hammer flying off the tower and landing on a taxi while parents were walking their kids to school.

“We want every safety issue to be addressed, we want to be perfect as best we can—it’s just difficult to do that,” Tishman Construction president John Livingston said following that incident. “We are terribly sorry, we try as hard as we can and we continue to.”
