Terrifying fall from 95 feet in steel stack collapse
Seth Harrington describes his miraculous escape from a 95 foot descent when a Jones & Laughlin mill stack and scaffolding collapsed in gale. He recalls thoughts of family and life as he slid to the boiler house roof and steam dome, with two fellow riggers narrowly escaping. The piece blends survivor testimony with reflections on fear and mortality.
