Two workers were killed in a construction collapse at New York City’s Kennedy Airport Monday, authorities said.
The victims were trapped under construction rubble about 11:05 a.m. at Building 49, the Calpine JFK Energy Center, which supplies electricity to the airport, Port Authority officials said. Both died at the scene.
All work at the site was put on hold in the wake of the deadly mishap.
The FDNY, which sent firefighters and medics to the scene, said the workers were pulled from a trench.
