Re: hmm
said by ninjatutle  :"Comcast had an employee on site during the rescue who kept the Comcast management team informed of rescue efforts. " Nice of them to remain seated in their warm offices... Faylor was a worker for Preferred Tank & Tower, Inc. of Evansville, Indiana, obviously subcontracting for Comcast. Safe to say he was an experienced climber. There were other Comcast people on site, and yes, it's normal procedure to keep management people informed of rescue efforts.
I'd have an issue with them if the crew foreman called back in at the end of the day, and said "We're running a little behind getting the hookup finished. We had a guy fall and almost die but he got rescued, and he's ok, but he should probably have a couple of days off before he goes back up the tower." So, Ninja, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
If you've ever investigated a serious accident like this, you'll understand that there are far more dynamics involved than simply suits in a warm office. If you've never seen one of these up close, you'll have to take it on faith that it's being investigated.
FWIW, the Wireless Estimator article has a couple of more details about the accident, while the Crescent-News article has more info about the rescue effort. |
