NEW YORK — Demolition work on a skyscraper severely damaged during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was suspended for one day after high levels of toxic dust were detected on the roof.
Demolition was suspended Thursday at the ruined Deutsche Bank building after testing revealed unacceptable levels of silica, which can cause lung diseases.
Work resumed Friday after officials decided wetting the roof would prevent people from inhaling the dust.

Hundreds of human bone fragments have been found at the building since workers began cleaning it last fall and preparing to dismantle the tower.
