Workers at the World Trade Center got a scare Thursday when a cable snapped on a crane that was lifting a load of steel, sending the metal crashing down.
One worker was slightly injured when the steel — which fell as many as 40 stories — landed with a mighty crash on a flatbed truck, police sources said.
The worker refused medical treatment, and the work site was shut down as investigators tried to figure out what happened.
The accident occurred just before 10 a.m. near Building 4, which is located on the southeast corner of the 16-acre site near Church and Cortlandt Sts.
The accident was contained to the work area, and commuters heading to work were never in any danger, sources said.
