A construction worker was killed while working on the demolition of the Government Center Parking Garage in Boston on Saturday, officials said.
The worker appeared to be in a small crane when he suffered a"substantial fall," Boston Fire Commissioner Jack Dempsey said Saturday night.
Boston Police Captain Kelley McCormick said that the crane fell"approximately eight to nine stories." The identity of the worker who was killed has not yet been released. McCormick clarified that the crane that fell was a"smaller" worker crane and not one of the large yellow cranes that could still be seen standing Saturday night.
"Any building being demolished is a dangerous scene," Dempsey said."Probably more dangerous than when they're putting them up."
