Tower Tragedy

A terrible tragedy at a condo under construction in downtown Toronto yesterday.

A worker fell off the top of this condo and plunged 55 floors to his death.

The condo, soon to be the tallest in Canada, is currently 70 stories high, but the wind caught him and he landed on the roof of the 15 story building across the street, on the back left in this photo.

He was apparently wearing a safety harness, but it failed.

Buskerfest was going on on Yonge St, next to the building (seen here, as the sliver/blue building on the right, farther south) but they luckily were unaware of the tragedy unfolding above them.

Danger is everywhere on the huge number of construction projects we have going on.
