New tragedy for New York's finest

August 20, 2007

Two New York City firefighters have been killed tackling a blaze at an abandoned skyscraper next to ground zero. The 40-storey structure is the former Deutsche Bank office building which was condemned after the Trade Centre's South Tower collapsed onto it on September 11, 2001. Demolition of the building was halted last year amid concerns for the ongoing search for human remains at the site.
