NY Times

by EMILY VASQUEZ

A construction worker was seriously injured yesterday after he fell from atop scaffolding into a 40-foot-deep trench on the Upper East Side, fire officials said. Firefighters were lowered into the trench at the site, on 53rd Street near Second Avenue, and helped lift him to street level using a body-length metal rescue basket, the officials said. The worker, whom the police and fire officials would not identify, was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center with serious injuries, the officials said, but was in stable condition last evening.
