Another cell phone tower incident.  This time in West Virginia.  Tower collapsed killing two contractors while they were reinforcing it.  During rescue efforts, a secondary collapse killed a fire fighter.  Rest in peace brother.

This is devastating news to the tower climbing community as well as firefighters and public safety.  Prayers go out to those who lost their lives and their families.

This is awful but something we all need to remember does happen.  It's an exceedingly dangerous job and sometimes we're guilty of taking our generally reliable wireless connections for granted.  So as we sit in the park playing Candy Crush Saga we should also remember the sacrifices it took to even enable the modern world in which we all live.

 

Thanks for posting.
