Re: One Reporter States the Obvious

[rreschran]

There's too many operators killed with operators not getting the message of survival. I'm sure you've all grown tired of the repeated numbers of operator fatalities to where you're numb. Are the lessons being learned getting passed down to towers, or what's being learned isn't being practised? Any ideas?

 

In a recent operator fatality, one 5 o’clock news reporter stated his opinion during a live segment. Without ever have worked as a tow operator himself, he commented, “Probably, it was a matter if inches and seconds that separated this tragedy from the mundane this morning. The tow truck driver … on the shoulder of the road … had he been in-front of his truck or the other side … then there would have been no story!”

 

How much clearer can his statement be? Towers take note … even a news reporter has an idea as to what the obvious is.          R.
