"In what is being called an "industrial accident," two men working on a
radio tower owned by Clear Channel fell 30 feet when the cable supporting
them became disconnected. Denver's KMGH-TV reports "The men were suspended
above the ground from a cable that was attached to the tower above them. The
other end of the cable was connected to a winch on the ground but a cable on
that winch came loose and the two fell to the concrete below." Both men,
identified as 48-year old Charles Lovell of Denver and 24-year old Peder
Mork, were airlifted to a Denver hospital. They are expected to recover."

Guess it's a good thing they were 30 feet and not 300.
