Manhattan, NY – Demolition work at the former Deutsche Bank building at the site of the WTC, has been put on hold after a steel pipe fell from the 40-story onto a neighboring firehouse.

The 15-foot piece of steel fell from the 35th floor of the building, which is in the process of being taken down. It pierced the roof of the Engine 10 Ladder 10 building, sending debris into the eyes of two firemen.
Authorities are investigating to see how the pipe came loose.
The building was badly damaged during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and there were major concerns about tearing it down because of contamination.
The cleanup of the building began in 2005 and workers began dismantling the building late last year. [NY1]
