Guy Climbs Crane at Trump Tower Construction Site

1st sign something is amiss at the Trump Tower construction site - double the number of people looking at the site than usual. 2nd sign - news media. 3rd - NO activity on the ground. And finally - ambulances and fire trucks in the pit. It took Chicagoist a while, but we finally realized what all the hubub was. There's a guy climbing on one of the freaking gillion feet tall cranes!

Upon arriving at work we haven't found much more info online yet. In an email tip we heard a rumor that the guy is a former Oprah employee and has been up there since dawn.

Anyone heard anything else?
