Dropped Load Forest Park, Ill.

April 2016 – A chain-reaction accident left one worker seriously injured and thousands without power. Workers were using a crane to install a metal utility pole onto its base when the rig dropped its load. The falling tower knocked a worker from the raised bucket of a truck-mounted aerial lift, and caused two poles to snap, and knocked out power for more than 2,000 customers. The worker was taken to a local hospital; the local utility company is helping with an investigation into the accident. - abc7chicago.com
