Just looking at the 30 pluss pictures … and not having a complete
information . a Few thing stuck me off…. The crushed Go Go man Box and the
yellow crane that was laying on it’s side !
Was the failure due to a job site failure ?
The Big TV tower that went down in TX. ( if my memory serves me ) was a gin
pole failure that fell and sheered guy wires on the way down . killing 7

Sad to see and hear about.
Looking at the pictures, one guy attach point is completely clean of guy
wires. And the guy wires do not look good. The fall was all in one
direction. Suggesting that something let go on a guy attach point. While I
don't have experience in looking at these things, is anyone else surprised
that all 3 guy wire attachments are clean from the connection point with no
obvious evidence of deformation or distortion?
