Watterson Towers - Halloween Incident 2011

Halloween Incident 2011

On Halloween Weekend 2011 a 45 year old woman attempted to climb the 28 story building by using the scaffolding (being used for renovations) on the East side of the building. Reports say she leaned back on the scaffolding and plummeted 200 feet to her death in front of hundreds of spectators. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was not a student, and it is still to be determined why she attempted to climb the building, especially with the cold, wet, and windy conditions.
