The Fairbanks Ice Sculpture Collapses

Fairbanks' largest ice sculpture came tumbling down late Sunday night with a ground-shaking crash that was heard but not seen.
The Fox Icescraper, the 150-foot tall tower of ice built by John Reeves next to the Steese Highway eight miles north of Fairbanks, collapsed at around 10:45 p.m. after developing a significant lean over the weekend.
"It woke me up out of a dead sleep," said Ben Ballard, who lives in a house Reeves rents a couple hundred yards away from the homemade ice tower. "It felt like an earthquake."
