Her son watched in horror as she fell down the shaft. She landed onto debris, which appears to have cushioned the fall.
The woman was conscious as rescue workers pulled her out.
She was taken to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition. Her son was "a little bit upset," but with his mother at the hospital. She and her son were visiting from out of the country.
The mishap will be investigated by the Buildings Department.
