[BC] Tower Accident Kills One in Florida

[Bruce Doerle]

I agree, these guys do a hard days work with minimal remuneration and
maximum risk.  I watch the video as Charlie suggested and the crew was
from Evansville, Indiana.  I wonder if this was an ERI job?

I hate hearing about these accidents.  The people that climb do so at
great
risk without much benefit.  My sympathies to the family.

The news story says he fell 500 ft....I understand that it was 1500
ft.
Maybe Frogman can clarify this. The TV news footage didn't even show
the
correct tower. The crew was removing the WDJR-FM (Dothan, AL) antenna
from
the 2000 ft WTVY-TV tower. WDJR had moved to their own tower a couple
of
weeks ago since WTVY needed the tower space for their HDTV antenna.
Both the
WTVY-TV tower and the new WDJR-FM tower are located just north of
Bonifay,
Florida (Holmes County).....that's about 55 miles north of Panama
City.

Frogman works there....maybe he can correct anything I have said if it
is in
error.
