Two workers hurt badly in scaffolding collapse

On Monday, there was a dramatic midday rescue for two workers who were in critical condition, resulting from the scaffolding collapse on the side of a River North building. Michael Fox, chief of special operations for the Chicago Fire Department, said more than 50 firefighters worked to save the two men, one of whom was pinned against the building seven stories above the ground, and a second who managed to climb on top of the building.

"We just don't know how he did it," Fox said. The men had been doing masonry work on top of the building.

Fox said at about 11 a.m., the department received a call that scaffolding had collapsed, and a man was trapped. Rescue workers found one of the men hanging on the side of the roof of The Adlake Building, 320 W. Ohio St. The man's arm appeared to be trapped underneath a piece of scaffolding and his feet were resting on a piece of the building under renovation.

Fox said workers at a neighboring building under construction allowed firefighters to use their crane to help rescue the men. It took firefighters more than an hour to free the pinned man. Both were given intravenous fluids and oxygen while rescue personnel worked.

The man who had been trapped was bloodied and his head bandaged, but the worker appeared to give a thumbs-up sign to media members who gathered next to the building.

According to Fox, both workers suffered significant blood loss and head trauma and were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

There's a lot of scaffolding in Chicago, and the Chicago Fire Department does scaffolding rescues quite often.
