一个t approximately 1250 hours on April 22, 2002, the Brown County Dispatch Center received a call that a member of a five-person crew that had been working high up on a communications tower in Rock County in north central Nebraska had been injured.
The crew had been contracted by Procom Communications in Groves, Texas, to raise a digital communications cable to the top of a 1,524-foot television communications tower approximately 20 miles southwest of the ranching community of Bassett, Nebraska. A 3/8-inch hoist cable that was supporting the four-inch-diameter communications cable the crew was hoisting failed, and somehow the falling cable system may have been involved in injuring the worker. At the time, it was not known how serious the worker had been injured.
