" Woman sues Anderson Cooper after fall at NYC home The Associated Press Published: Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 10:22 a.m. Last Modified: Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 10:22 a.m. NEW YORK - An interior designer is suing CNN anchor Anderson Cooper after she took an unusual fall at an old New York City firehouse that he is converting into a new home. Killian O'Brien, of Brooklyn, says in her suit that she plunged 17 feet through the hole that once held the station's fire pole. The pole had been removed, but the hole was uncovered. The accident happened in September. Her lawyer, Neil Greenberg, says she is lucky to be alive. Cooper's spokesman declined to comment. More . . . " ============== I always thought those firehouse buildings with hole in the middle for fast exit to the garage house below were way cool. But of course, it can be problematic for people unfamiliar with the house layout. You can imagine, an interior designer is probably looking at the space and not the floor as she is walking around... Very sad. Does not look like she was given notice of the hole in the floor. It probably should have been built up a bit with may be a foot of brick wall. That would have been the more sensible thing to do. -- Edited by Sanders on Saturday 13th of February 2010 12:28:03 PM __________________ *Democracy needs defending* - SOS Hillary Clinton, Sept 8, 2010 Democracy is more than just elections - SOS Hillary Clinton, Oct 28, 2010 Madam Secretary Blog at ForeignPolicy.com Project Vote Smart - Stay informed and engaged!
