In 2008 , the company and a subcontractor abatement firm , the John Galt Corporation , were charged with numerous OSHA safety violations after a fire broke out and killed two firefighters at the Deutsche Bank Building , a Manhattan skyscraper being demolished in the wake of the September 11 attacks . The violations included an employee ( Safety Manager ) of " Lend Lease 's Project Management & Construction Business " filling out a safety check list that identified a stand-pipe as being present and functional - when it was actually disconnected in a hard to see spot . The firemen consulted the check list , thought they had a good system and proceeded up into the building to fight the fire . Only when they reached the dangerous area that was on fire , did they realize the system did not have any water pressure , and they died trying to retreat amid the confusion . As of June 2011 , two out of the three individuals charged in the associated manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide case have been acquitted
