Photographer falls to death in Chicago smokestack

Excerpt:

A young man died early Thursday morning when he fell into a smokestack above a hotel in Chicago while taking pictures. CBS affiliate WBBM-TV reports the 23-year-old from Pipestone, Minn. , was visiting the city with his girlfriend when he climbed up the smokestack on the Hotel InterContinental to get a better view. He apparently slipped and fell into the smokestack, falling about 22 feet before striking an angle in the structure about 24 stories above Michigan avenue. Authorities said he called his girlfriend from inside the smokestack once he fell and was communicating with her at the beginning of the rescue. Firefighters responded at about 1:00 in the morning, but lost communication at around 4:15 a.m. and pulled him out about 45 minutes later.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
