accident Worker fatally hit by falling eletricity pole

[Lord Gutsy]

A group of workers from a Vietnamese Electricity Cpmpany were using a mobile crane to unload an electricity pole from the truck to the ground when a worker was assigned to hook the cable to the electric pole to prepare for lowering it to the ground.

During the operation, the cable suddenly broke, causing the electric pole to fall, crushing the worker's head.

Workers and local residents at the scene took the victim to the Regional General Hospital for emergency treatment. However, he died.

Maybe it's me, but when I'm working around something that can kill me (e.g., large machinery) I'm extra cautious. I never completely trust the operator to see me, plus (as we see here) accidents happen.

The worst mistakes happen by not being attentive.
