Wow, I've seen workers working from a basket suspended by a crane. They were cutting the top of a flare. When they were doing that everyone stopped what they were doing because they were amazed on how they had the courage to do that. Prayers sent out to the poor family.
Sorry for your loss. I will be praying for his family and friends. Things like this really make you think. I'm the same age and can tend to take things for granted. Remember to let those you care about know how much and tell them often. I really hope that they can find peace after such a tragic event.
