Tragic JFK Airport Construction Accident Claims Two Lives

Two construction workers died after getting trapped under rubble at JFK international airport while relocating utility lines near a cogeneration plant to support the airport's redevelopment project. The incident marked the third workplace fatality to occur at JFK Airport in the past month. A stop order was issued for all construction at JFK, and an investigation is ongoing. Construction worker deaths reached a five-year-high in New York City last year.
