The bodies of three more victims, including two construction workers, were recovered Monday from the wreckage left behind after a 300-foot tall construction crane collapsed Sunday. The death toll now stands at seven in one of New York City’s worst construction accidents in years, which severely damaged several buildings and demolished a Manhattan town house.

The two workers were identified as Santino Gallone, 37, and Clifford Canzona, 45. The other victim was a Florida woman, Odin Torres, who was visiting a friend in the destroyed town house.
