Construction Worker Dies In Fall At U.S. Bank Stadium

On Wednesday morning, we got a reminder that the world of construction is a dangerous one, regardless of how many precautions have been taken.

Minneapolis firefighters had to rescue someone that fell into a crevice in the roof of U.S. Bank Stadium this morning. They requested a rescue basket and ropes to get the individual out of the situation. Both the person that fell into the crevice and a second person were evacuated from the roof and taken to a local medical center for treatment.
