Two men are facing charges after they climbed to the top of a construction elevator at the Vista Tower skyscraper construction site, 345 East Wacker Drive.
Callers began reporting the climbers around 7:10 p.m. on Saturday and the 911 calls kept coming as they came into view of residents in nearby high-rises. An unnamed Snapchat user posted video of the men as their ascent began.
Witnesses reported the men reaching at least the 72nd floor of the 93-story 1,198-foot project before turning around and climbing back to Mother Earth.
Police were waiting at the base of the elevator structure to arrest the men, both 28-years-old. Charges of trespassing and reckless conduct are being reviewed.
