Sad, but VERY preventable. If they would have followed the number 1 safety rule for installing antennas they would all still be alive today. They were putting up a 50' (by another report) IN THE DARK. It's hard not to bring Darwin up here.

I seems the people killed were not hams. They were putting up the antenna for
the mans mother KJ4KFF who talks to relatives in Jamica.
