Man Killed After Radio Antenna Collapses

In Brazil, two men were erecting a new 90 metre high radio antenna after they first demolished the old 80 metre one. Whilst attempting to take down the old one, it unfortunately collapsed causing one man to die at the scene and another to be taken to hospital.

Re: Man Killed After Radio Antenna Collapses

Looks good for falling down from 80 meters. I wonder if there is a video. Rip. I also hate when people have tragic accidents while doing making an honest living

Re: Man Killed After Radio Antenna Collapses

Why not just move out of the way as it came down...not like it was a building or anything substantial
