A construction worker was killed Friday morning after falling from a scaffolding setup in Manhattan.

It happened just after 11 a.m. outside a building located at 19 University Place in Greenwich Village.

Officials say the worker, who was in his 40s, fell from the scaffolding and onto an adjacent building.

An investigation into the fall revealed that the worker didn't have the proper training and that the work site was unsafe.

I don't think I could be paid enough to climb around the high stuff.
