Aren't those windows supposed to be pretty solid that high up? They would have had to come at the glass with pretty incredible force.

A sad event indeed, although I couldn't help but think of this poor fellow.

I walked by the W yesterday (unfortunately I forgot about this story or else I would have planned a different route) and have no idea how it happened. This was the type of window where there's a support bar about 36" above the floor (many condos have this; mine does). That's a height where you almost have to try to fall either above or under it. They apparently fell out the bottom window.

To have not just one person, but TWO people, fall out of a hole that small must be supremely bad luck. They must have hit the thing just right, like one in a million just right.

Really tragic and sad.

At 3 am in the morning....maybe there was alcohol involed. High rise windows should be a lot more solid.

It is hard to understand how this happened. I'm not sure what "play-fighting" is but it must be pretty intense if two people can crash through the window of a highrise hotel.

Very tragic.

What a terrible accident! - sometimes just clowning around can be deadly (wrong place + wrong time) AND having the window that loose for BOTH of them to fall through, woh.
