Three killed as mobile phone mast collapses

Two contractors and a firefighter have been killed after two mobile phone masts collapsed in West Virginia.

The workers were tethered to a 300ft mast when the structure collapsed in Clarksburg. A member of the Nutter Fort Fire Department died after a second, smaller tower collapsed minutes later. Two other contractors, who were also tethered to the larger mast, were hurt and taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
