I'm sure the family is going to want to know as well.

And any newspaper in the world whether its the herald the sun or the enquirer is going to put resources into it.

Gee, I don't know.....Einstein!!!!!


Incredibly high wind gusts, I guess.


My point was the distasteful, disgusting & disrespectful manor that the media chooses to "milk" storys like these.

Could the issue of wind gusts have been magnified by the fact that equipment was not properly secured or was done so in a haphazard manner. Does the company have a history of accidents such as these? What guidelines are in place at the current time and what could be done in the future to prevent these accidents from happening again... All of these are perfectly legitimate questions that need to be asked and in a public forum so that they are not just swept under the carpet.

Does the media and the sun especially have a history of sensationalizing stories to sell papers, they sure do, and I hope they don't in this case... but questions do need to be asked at some point in time because just saying it is a freak accident isn't good enough in my opinion

Woah, unfortunate of an incident.

My condolences go to the family.

Wow, you need to simmer down.

If it wasn't secured properly it needs to be known.

As far as the media milking the story, The media can't pick and choose and the public does have a right to know why this accident happened.
