More Coverage of the Fan that Fell to his Death at Georgia Dome

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has been updating the story about the Tennessee football fan that fell to his death from the upper deck on Friday at the Georgia Dome.

I still think alcohol was to blame, and there is some question about how long it too emergancy crews to get to him.

Fan Dies After Falling From Upper Deck at Georgia Dome

A Tennessee Football fan fan fell from the upper deck at the Georgia Dome Friday night during the NC State vs. Tennessee football game. 

Investigator Leon Harrison at the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office told The Associated Press early Saturday that Isaac Grubb of Lenoir City, Tenn., was pronounced dead Friday night, minutes before midnight, at an Atlanta hospital.

Emergency crews said a 20-year-old male fell about 35 feet from the upper level and landed on another person sitting in the mezzanine area.

Fans who were near the man that fell said he was sitting in section 311, behind the endzone.

From WSBTV.com:

"Tennessee had scored a touchdown -- I believe it was the second. There were three people who weren't with [our group].  It looked like [the man who fell] was doing a fist pump, and then he was gone over the top," said William Coates, Tennessee fan from Arkansas. "He wasn't moving. His chest was moving a little."

“He was just laying there [in the section below] between rows. It took like 15 minutes for the medical workers to get there."

After the medical workers arrived he was taken to Atlanta Medical Center.

Georgia World Congress Center police are currently investigating the incident. So far, there is no word if alcohol played a factor in the incident.

Harrison said the other fan was a man who was subsequently treated at another Atlanta hospital and released. He had no further details on the man's identity or his condition.

Looking For some Dry Weather.... Try Seattle

While some parts of the country have had more rain than they can handle, one city accustomered to rain and overcast skies has been dry.

The gauge at Sea-Tac Airport has gone to the end of August without a drop of rain. And the National Weather Service says if it stays that way through Friday as expected, it'll break the record of .01 inches of precipitation, which has happened just three times in the city since 1891.

The current dry spell could challenge the 51-day record set in 1951. The last rain at the airport was .04 inches on July 22 - marking 40 days and counting.

The dry stretch is just fine for people heading outdoors for Labor Day weekend. The 200,000 people expected to gather by the Space Needle for the annual Bumbershoot Festival, a three-day music and arts fair named after an old-timey word for "umbrella," can expect sunny skies and highs around 70.

"You can't always count on good weather - this is Seattle," said Seattle Center spokeswoman Deborah Daoust. "This weekend the weather forecast is perfect."

Gathering clouds could lower temperatures and bring a chance of showers in some other areas of the state for the last holiday of the summer, but forecasters don't see any Seattle rain storms on the horizon.
