    Steel worker hospitalized after 30 foot fall By STEVE GEHLBACH, WATE.com, TN
    Potter's boss, Ted Mohundro, who arrived shortly after he was taken to the hospital, says negligence by the contractor is to blame.

    'And now that could possibly have a man killed over some negligence on their part. I'm very upset,' Mohundro says.

    B&M Steel has pulled its men off the site until safety issues are addressed. They say the carpenters removed handrails and temporary supports two hours too early, before they were finished with their work.
