Look Down
You can wander around with your head in the clouds… or you can look down and see where you’re walking. Most people do the former; a Burnsville, Minnesota man might still be alive had he done the latter:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A Burnsville man was the victim of a fatal fall in a shuttered grain elevator in north Minneapolis…
Ronald Block, 32, died in the fall early Saturday morning…of blunt force head injuries.
Police said Block fell through a hole in the floor while wandering around the grain elevator complex with three others.
He’s not the first one to do something like this, and he won’t be the last. Grain mills and related structures tend to have a lot of holes in the floors, by design. Watch your step, or pay the consequences.
At 32, he seems too old to have been drinking and partying there, as college students are given to; likewise, he seems not to have been an urban explorer, though you never can tell. My guess? Random mischief-maker, or scrap metal thief… and my money’s on the latter.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Seems like you are into urban exploration a bit yourself. Same here. Do you personally have any photos or logs?

Urban Decay
I can assure you he was not a “scrap metal thief.”
Your muse is totally inaccurate and almost completely untrue. he was not a scarp-metal thief nor did he cause random michieve. i would know because i am his wife. he was just was with some people who were not good influencers. he was actually out celebrating our recent marriage and had an idea that we had conceived the child we were trying to have. he was a great father and role model. he had never done any “urban exploring” before or knew what it was for that matter. he wasnt actually from the twin cities and knew very little of anything around here.
