This is preliminary- very little news is in. This is paraphrased from TV
news reports.
This afternoon, a tower worker fell to his death from about the 120 ft
level of a proposed 170 ft tower. It was reported that the crane being used
in the erection hit the tower. The worker, reported to be from California,
fell to the roof of station WEUP, in Huntsville, Alabama. The name of the
worker was not yet released. OSHA, police and others are investigating.
