[TowerTalk] Be Careful

[Pat Barthelow]

Can confirm that. Just last week the local news focussed on a rescue of
a worker,  from what appeared to be about a 5 ft hole, whose walls
collapsed on the worker standing inside.  The on scene camera showed the
extraction, and the report said that the victim became unconscious.  
This, even though the cave in only packed him in up to about his
waist.   He survived, but  it was obvious from the pictures that it
took a lot of rescue expertise and equipment,  Jacks, wall support
boards, power digging gear,  and significant time to make the rescue.

One needs to use some caution working in holes of the depth for the
crank up towers. Cave-ins can be dangerous even for depths like that.
If you happen to be bending over and the dude comes in you may have
literally dug your own grave.
