Falling Ice From Willis Tower Injures Two

2011_03_falling_ice_close.jpg The recent thaw has made the "Danger - Falling Ice" signs we see throughout downtown more than just for show. Ice falling from Willis Tower forced the closing of streets around the skyscraper yesterday and injured two people; one of them a paramedic responding to the other person being hit by ice.

Making things more hazardous: the winds. The ice from Willis and other buildings are being blown by high winds for blocks. So be careful.
