Thanks for posting. How tragic. We take for granted the hard work these folks do and forget how dangerous it can be. My thoughts and prayers are with the families.

Power tong incident? One report stated the injured fellow was treated and released with a severe arm laceration.

The Akron Beacon is saying:

 

The injured man, 21-year-old Alex Cox, told the sheriff that he and the other victim were using drilling equipment and hadn’t hooked up a safety line designed to keep it from swinging around and striking workers.
