Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

On May 18, Donike Gocaj opened the door of her SUV around 11:20 p.m., took a step, and, a witness told the dailies, fell about ten feet down a Con Edison manhole that had lost its cover. This, mind you, was not a construction site or some industrial zone full of obvious dangers; it was at 52nd Street and Fifth Avenue, right by Cartier. Twenty minutes later, emergency service workers pulled Gocaj out. By then, she was unconscious, and she never woke up.Read Full Article ⟶
