I remember about thirty nine years ago a scaffold in a cooling tower in West Virginia collapsed killing a large number of workers.

Scaffold disasters give me the chills as usually a large number of people are killed. When I worked in power plants years ago, I developed a habit of glancing at each connection and joint looking for loose bolts as I climbed upon them.

Thank you for the link. I didn’t know that happened. Almost 7 years before I was born, but I do that kind of work and that sort of thing actually does cross my mind
