This is an eight inch space between two buildings. Like, what?
There needed to be locked and secured steel doors within the walls themselves to access the space and there needed to be a secure steel wire bridge at the top of the two walls closing off the space to such an accident.
No zoning? I mean, this was an accident waiting to happen.
I suppose she either didn't have a cell phone or was unable to secure it her handbag or able to dial it.
Can Portland try to fill in the gaps in city planning?

PORTLAND -- Portland Fire Bureau were crews trying to rescue a woman Wednesday morning who somehow got wedged between two buildings at 12th and Columbia in downtown Portland.
The incident began about 3:30 a.m. when a woman was seen on a second-story smoking area, a witness told KGW.
The woman was yelling for help and was seen climbing on a wall before apparently falling between the two buildings, the witness said.
Her loud behavior was out of the ordinary for the types of tenants in the building, the witness said, and described her mannerisms as "rude."
She had somehow fallen about 12 feet into a tight space at the Gretchen Kafoury Commons and an adjacent building....
