Guy fell 7 stories into abandoned grain silo--And Lived!

In the Fruen Mill of MPLS some 18 year old fell through a hole into a grain silo that hasn't been used in 10 years. The grain that was left in the silo saved his life. The police anf fire dept took 3-4 hours getting him out and now they may press charges

Lucky guy. The chances of surviving in an unsolid pile of mouldy grain in such closed space are quite small. Usually people who fall into grain silos sink inside the grain and choke.

(OT) I don't like that (American?) habit of giving real names in public.

If the perp is under 18, then the name cannot be released to protect the innocent/guilty.

But the person committed a crime by trespassing and then fell into a silo. He's a criminal to the police eyes and will be charged as such.

what a story!

Another reminder to always go exploring with other people.

Imagine if he had been on his own and fallen in there!

I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.

Hey thats my location! Heh. The place is pretty much trashed and was when I posted the loc on it. Its a great place to send new explorers to to check them out but not a loss for the exploring community here.
