Employee falls from cell tower and is killed.

At 3:30 p.m. on May 16, 2016, the employee was measuring and documenting newly installed equipment on a cell tower at the 208-foot level.

He then fell 208 feet to the ground, along with the Remote Radio Head Unit (RRU) Rack, when the RRU Rack broke free from the tower. The employee fell 208-feet to an HVAC unit, striking the side of a one story building, and was killed.
