Three construction workers were injured when a dead load on the 12th floor of an apartment building jobsite “pancaked down to the fifth floor” just before 8 a.m. on March 20, said Deputy Fire Chief Robert Calobrisi of the Boston Fire Dept. at the scene in Boston’s Theater District.
“Two of the workers were brought down from the fifth floor of the building in rescue baskets … and transported by ambulance to the Tufts University Medical Center nearby,” said Steve MacDonald, Boston Fire Dept. spokesman. “One had minor injuries and was treated and released; the other had a serious head wound and is still in the hospital,” he said.
