Accident Inside the IDS Building
Twitter tells me that something’s going down in the IDS building. Lots of cops and part of the skyway blocked off. Early ‘CCO report says someone “fell” several stories in Crystal Court and that it was an “industrial accident.”
UPDATE: Looks like a man fell through the glass while cleaning snow above Crystal Court and has died.

Unfortunately when I was walking by there (must’ve been about 20 minutes afterwards), the ambulance was just sitting there… didn’t expect that the news was going to be good.
I feel terrible for the person’s family.
Interesting discussion at MNspeak on whether the photo the Strib ran was in poor taste.
Ack! My initial two-cents: Yeah, poor taste. Jeebus.
After reading through the comments (no small feat over there), I’m in agreement with DeRusha–I think the larger, uncropped photo would have been much more appropriate.
