An update, but not the happy kind.
9 construction workers hospitalized after carbon monoxide leak
Quote:
The hardhats were working at 30 East 29th St. when one of them began feeling “ill” around 4:30 p.m., according to FDNY Chief of Special Operations John Esposito.
Firefighters and paramedics arrived on the scene minutes later and found several others who felt “dizzy and nauseous,” Esposito said.
Four workers wound up being hospitalized in serious condition and five were treated for minor injuries.
Investigators believe gasoline-powered generators — which were running in a small, “confined” space — are ultimately to blame. Of the nine workers who got exposed, two of them had to be lifted up “on rope” in a high-angle rescue, according to Esposito.
