NEW YORK —
Part of a skyscraper wall fell apart Monday, showering bricks down 39 stories onto a Manhattan street where they punched a hole in the roof of a passing commuter bus, slightly injuring a passenger.

It was the latest in a string of accidents involving objects falling from high buildings.
