A construction worker was killed and another remains missing Wednesday after a section of bridge scaffolding collapsed on Long Island, injuring six. The makeshift structure on the Loop Parkway drawbridge — which connects the Meadowbrook State Parkway to Long Beach in Nassau County — buckled just before noon, sending two workers plunging into the Reynolds Channel, according to the New York State Police. Rescue operations are underway after several construction workers fell into the water while repairing the Loop Parkway Bridge.
