OSHA, police investigating worker death at radio tower in Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (WPVI) — Several agencies are still investigating how a worker died on a 425-foot radio tower in Atlantic City on Thursday. On Friday, local police, fire and representatives from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were back at the scene in Atlantic City. “First thing you do is think about his family,” said neighbor Jacob Ely. “That’s a terrible way to go.” Three police drones went up, surveying the tower and the work area. “We had heard that they were supposed to dismantle that antenna, but they said something came loose and hit him,” said Ely. It happened at Murray and Ohio Avenues in the Venice Park neighborhood. Atlantic City police say a crew from North Carolina was working on taking down a section at the top of the tower around 4:30 p.m. when a worker was injured.
