On Sunday evening, April 9, emergency crews in Edmonton, Alberta were called to a public art sculpture called "Talus Dome," to rescue a 26-year-old man who had crawled inside and gotten trapped. Talus Dome was designed by artists Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues, and according to the City of Edmonton website, the sculpture won an Edmonton Urban Design Award in 2013. CBC.ca describes the scene:A man was inside the mound of polished stainless steel balls with no way out. In order to rescue the man trapped inside, firefighters had to cut the structure and remove one of the balls. You can see the video of the man trapped inside the sculpture on the CBC.ca website.
