Barbara Beddia Crocco, the sister of Robert Beddia, one of the two firefighters killed in the former Deutsche Bank building in lower Manhattan last August commenced a lawsuit against the building owner, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, and several contracting companies that worked on site. The claims are that the defendants created or were aware of the dangerous conditions that existed in the building, including dismantled fire connections, that caused the death of Mr. Beddia. Notably, Ms. Crocco did not sue the City of New York of The Fire Department of New York.
