Two Toddlers Fall From Minnesota Windows on Same Day

There's something to be learned from this.

Two children, about 2 years old, one in fell from windows in Minnesota yesterday afternoon. One of them is dead, the other is in serious condition.

The falls happened in Andover and Vadnais Heights, north Twin Cities suburbs about 20 miles from each other.

Yesterday was a very warm day. I suppose that quite a few people had their windows open, to let in the fresh air.

One more thing: It's National Window Safety Week.
