An ironworker helping install a green roof on Barclays Center in Brooklyn was killed Feb. 24 when a load of steel joists rolled off a delivery truck and crushed him, says Joe DePlasco, a spokesman for developer Greenland Forest City Partners.
Peter Zepft, 52, was acting as a flagman when a delivery truck driver was unstrapping a load of steel trusses in preparation for a crane pick, officials say.
