On a clear evening in
May, Guilford was dangling, 150 feet in the air, from a cell tower in southwest
Indiana. He had been sent aloft to take pictures of AT&T antennas soon to
be replaced by 3G equipment.
Work complete, Guilford
sped his descent by rappelling on a rope. Safety standards required him to step
down the metal pole, peg by peg, using a special line that would catch
automatically if he fell. But tower climbing is a field in which such rules are
routinely ignored.
