Photos: Hapless man hooked on Marina City ramp for ‘Chicago Fire’ scene

17-Jan-17 – (Above) A stunt performer is suspended from the parking ramp at Marina City on Monday afternoon, in the rain, during filming for the NBC series Chicago Fire. The scene, filmed by a camera on a crane at right, appeared to depict the rescue of someone caught on hardware that keeps cars from falling into the river. Dearborn Street, from Wacker Drive north to Kinzie Street, was closed to vehicles from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Click on images to view larger versions.)
