FALLING DEBRIS HALTS DEUTSCHE

Dismantling work at the trouble-plagued site of the Deutsche Bank building was halted yesterday after a steel disc fell 22 stories from a hoist, authorities said. No one was hurt.

The 4-pound disc fell from a hoist operated by a contractor with ties to the company blamed for last year’s blaze that killed two firefighters. Regional Scaffolding & Hoisting shares executives with the John Galt Corp., which was fired over safety violations after the fatal fire.
