ISRAEL REACHES FOR THE SKY WITH RECORD-BREAKING TOWERS
Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv, Israel, have record-breaking towers in the works, including a 111-floor, 444-m-tall office building in Ramat Gan near the Diamond Exchange that will be the tallest in Israel, Globes reports, crediting Yediot Ahronot. Designed by Israeli architect Avner Yashar, the Ramat Gan plan includes a 77-floor high rise, with the buildings together boasting 400,000 m2. Ramat Gan officials OK'd the scheme only three months after the Tel Aviv Planning and Building Committee increased the approved height of the "Between the Cities" project, located several hundred meters south of the proposed Ramat Gan tower, from 75 to 100 floors. The moves reflect a decades-old friendly rivalry between the cities. Ramat Gan has Israel's tallest building, the 68-story, 233-m-tall Moshe Aviv Tower. That is soon to be surpassed, however, by Tel Aviv's 73-story, 238-m-tall Sarona Azrieli.
WOMAN INJURED IN ESCALATOR FALL AT OHIO AIRPORT
A 70-year-old woman suffered lacerations to her leg as a result of falling down an escalator at the Dayton International Airport in Ohio on July 24, Dayton Daily News reports. After falling most of the length of the down escalator, she was treated by airport staff, then transported to a hospital. The newspaper notes escalator-related accidents are rare in southwest Ohio, with one of the last incidents reported in December 2015 involving a theft suspect jumping from an escalator while attempting to elude police.
