Construction worker airlifted to Toronto hospital

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    A construction worker from Niagara was airlifted to Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto after falling about five metres at a construction site in Niagara Falls.

    The man was in “serious but stable condition” when his stretcher was loaded onto the helicopter which touched down in the parking lot of the Imax theatre, said Sylvain Lepine, a supervisor with Niagara Emergency Medical Services.

    Firefighters, paramedics and police were called to the work site of the new Hilton Hotel on Fallsview Boulevard a bit before 10 a.m., Wednesday. A carpenter working on the 20th floor of the hotel was knocked off balance and fell down a stairwell, landing on the concrete floor below.

    I walk by here almost every day, and today at lunch I noticed several police cars, a lot of officers, and lot of men in suits. I guess that explains it! I hope the man will be ok.
