NEW YORK - A window washer was killed and his brother was seriously injured today when their scaffold fell 40 stories from a skyscraper on Manhattan's Upper East Side, authorities said.
The brothers were getting onto the scaffolding from the roof of the 45-story building on East 66th Street when the platform gave way around 10:30 a.m., Fire Department spokesman Seth Andrews said at the scene.
Phil Stellar, who lives on the ninth floor of the 45-story building, was packing for a business trip when he said, "I heard a stunning rumple."
