Worker Dies After Falling 800ft From Skyscraper

An electrician has died after falling more than 800ft (245 metres) from a Los Angeles skyscraper that will be the tallest on the West Coast once it is completed.The worker, who was on his second day of the project, fell from the 53rd floor of the Wilshire Grand Center at around noon on Thursday onto the back edge of a passing car.
Its driver did not appear to be seriously hurt but was taken to a hospital.
The incident happened at one of the busiest times of day at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Los Angeles.
The $1bn, 73-storey skyscraper will be about 1,100ft tall (335 metres) when it is finished next year.
Chris Martin, CEO of Martin Project Management which is supervising the construction, could not confirm if the man had a safety harness on as is required on the project.
