The incident prompted a large rescue response. The two workers were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
The incident was reported around 11:25 a.m. Monday near JFK’s building 49. The workers became trapped in some sort of trench in the area, which prompted more than 60 firefighters to respond for a rescue, according to local authorities. The view from SkyFOX showed heavy equipment surrounding a plank-lined trench as workers and firefighters swarmed the area.
Emergency crews were able to remove the victims, but both were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. The view from SkyFOX shows a wider shot of John F.
