    Third worker dies at McIntosh site By Nate Reems, Savannah Morning News
    'There's got to be something wrong out there,' said Bethany, whose brother, Joe Lynn Bethany, died in February after falling through an uncovered hole from an elevated construction platform. 'I don't know what it is, but something needs to be done.

    'I hate to hear about this. I hate it for the family that's now going through the same thing we did. You'd think after the second one they would have shut the job down. Maybe this one will do it.'

    Ryan Mackenzie, 21, of Newport, Maine, fell about 75 feet from scaffolding around 9:30 a.m., Effingham sheriff's Capt. Mike Bohannon said.
