On December 27, 2014, an 80-year-old Tower resident accidentally crashed his car through a concrete wall on the 12th floor in the complex's parking lot, penetrating into a ventilation shaft, where the car fell seven stories to the fifth floor. Because the interior of the shaft contains fans on each floor to circulate air throughout the garage, the car hit each fan during its fall, which cushioned its fall. The man climbed out of the car's sunroof, but slipped and was wedged between the car and the wall of the shaft. He called 9-1-1, and waited there until emergency services arrived. The fire department used hydraulic rescue tools to push the car away from the wall in order to free the man, who was taken to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment, though notably, he had no major injuries.
