 Three employees were engaged in installing a new antenna for a local TV station at the top
of a 951-foot tall antenna tower constructed in 2009. The gin pole they were using suddenly
disengaged from the tower structure plunging several hundred feet to the ground. The
employees were tied to the gin pole and fell with it and were killed. The cause of the
disengagement was the failure of attachment between the gin pole and the tower structure.
