Chicago investigating video of people atop a raised downtown bridge – Chicago Sun-Times

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Jolly fellows say they were caught on the bridge as it was raised, decided to stay and enjoy the view.

Three people on the Franklin-Orleans Street bridge.

Look, the bridge tender could have shaken then off by lowering and raising it quickly up and down, making it even more exciting for them, maybe sending into the lovely Chicago River. Just a suggestion.
