At approximately 8:40 PM on Monday, October 12, a man, woman and their 15 year old son were killed while trying to erect a 50 foot vertical antenna at the home of the man's mother, Barbara Tenn, KJ4KFF, in Palm Bay, Florida. The deceased were not licensed amateurs.

Is there no sensitivity? Just because they want to remove "ham" from the story?
 
I was thinking the same thing, like a ham license is going to make you a better antenna erector. I was also wondering what happen, most likely involved electrical lines but you never know. It's always sad when someone gets killed in the line of their hobby.
