Cell Phone Towers Kill 3 Persons!

According to an Associated Press report, a tragedy occurred on February 1, 2014 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Two cell phone towers collapsed Killing two contractors and a firefighter.
    A crew of six contractors was doing maintenance to strengthen the towers support when the larger of the two towers collapsed killing two contractors. The first fire rescue crews arrived about 10 to 15 minutes after the call despite snow which made the gravel road difficult to navigate. Rescue personnel had to use four wheel drive and all terrain vehicles in the response. A firefighter with the Nutter  Fort Fire Department was walking from his vehicle to the scene when the smaller tower collapsed killing the firefighter. The weight of the larger collapsed tower put stress on guide wires to the smaller one resulting in the second fatal collapse. Two other workers were injured and transported to the hospital The two remaining workers were not injured. See the Associated Press report for more details.
    This event could raise new questions in Pinole valley where there is strong opposition to a proposed Verizon cell phone tower. I'm sure no one blames the Pinole valley resident that it's rumored has agreed to allow the tower to be placed on his property near the previous proposed site. The property owner may need the money and Verizon could take advantage of that situation if it exists. However some people wonder if he has taken all the possible risks, like the ones described in the story above, into consideration. Some questions may include; Is the Property owner protected if the tower falls on his own home? What about risks to him, his family, his friends and neighbors if the tower should collapse and injure or kill someone? Is the property owner protected if that should happen? What about risks to city workers, could the tax payers be liable to on the job injuries if they're injured in a collapse of the tower? Who knows, maybe the property owner is protected under his contract with Verizon? If so, then good for him. But then, what about everyone else?
    Anyone else would probably get deadlocked in endless legal battles with Verizon who has much more to spend on attorneys and legal fees than the residents of Pinole. The property owner may receive needed funds, but the surrounding community seem to receive no compensation for their possible risks of radiation or of bodily injury or property damage. Maybe they'll get better cell service? Is it worth the risks? Is it needed or is their current service bad?
It really does seem like a "no deal" for the valley community.
