"Man rescued after falling into Seguin water tower"

Ouch.

A worker painting a water tower in Seguin fell 30 feet inside the tower Monday afternoon.

A private contractor was sand blasting and painting the tower at Kingsbury and Geronimo streets, which had been drained for the job. At about 3 p.m., a worker fell inside and landed on some metal baffling, said Seguin Fire Department Batallion Chief James Vogel.


(from the Express-News)

He was rescued, but I bet he was scared. I just hope there was a great big screen over that water tank's drain!

What a crazy story... for some reason the image of Jim Carrey at the end of Cable Guy comes to mind... :)

PS-I finally got around to posting the "haunting" tales on my blog.
