Demolition Suspended After Toxic Dust Found at WTC
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Demolition work at the Deutsche Bank building was suspended for one day this week after high levels of toxic dust were detected on the skyscraper's roof.
Demolition was suspended Thursday and restarted yesterday after testing on July 28th revealed unacceptable levels of silica, which causes lung diseases.
Work resumed after officials decided wetting the roof could contain the dust.
The 41-story Deutsche Bank building suffered severe damage during the September eleventh attacks when the World Trade Center's south tower partially collapsed on it.
Hundreds of human bone fragments have been found there since workers began cleaning it last fall and preparing to dismantle the building.
