Been a couple of bad ones lately. You guys heard about these - one last week Monday by Palco and then one yesterday?

Heard someone was burned bad awhile back working on a rig, but don't know any details. Yesterday a crane setting oil tanks in SE Ellis Co. hit a high voltage line. HDN should have that story.

My hubby had a bad one in April and he's finally back to work...

We had a friend flip over in a cement truck recently, he's pretty messed up. Not sure where his accident took place.

They had brief mention of the electrocution on the channel 2 news, but said no name has been officially released, so It shouldn't really be discussed beyond that right now.

I fell off an oil rig last year... just from the platform- maybe 6 ft. or so. I hit the concrete and kinda bounced, but nothing really came of it except that I was a little sore the next day. I think my head served as a parachute.

I wasnt looking for a name, just what had happened and if the person survived.

You're lucky it was a calm day. You could have blown away.

Have they ever put shoulders on that highway? If not, it's dangerous as hell.
