Independent Lab Tests Evidence On 51 Deaths At Tower
An OSHA spokesman said an unidentified independent lab was hired to test concrete samples debris and a hoist cable from the Monongahela Power Co tower collapse that killed 51 workers. Tests aim to determine concrete strength cable condition and related factors with results expected next week. Investigators hope to finish within five weeks and publish a final report to Dr. Bingham. The victims, many from West Virginia and New Jersey, worked for Research Cottrell Inc. which halted similar projects pending findings. The tower would cool water for Ohio River power generation after use.
