An architect was killed while walking a few blocks from her office in Times Square in New York City on Tuesday morning when debris fell from a crumbling building. Erica Tishman, 60, was walking along 49th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues Tuesday morning when part of a building came crashing down on top of her. The piece of debris came from a 17-story building that had recently been fined for its unsafe facade. The New York Times described her as a "lifelong New Yorker and Park Avenue socialite." The department fined the building’s owner in April because the terra cotta pieces were at risk of falling.
