Antenna Engineering (AE) designed and manufactured a tower for television antenna. Riggers, Inc. (RI) was contracted for raising and assembling the tower. RI approved plans submitted by AE. RI couldn’t raise final section of antenna due to obstruction from microwave baskets. AE refused RI permission to remove baskets. RI made amendments, which AE refused to review or comment on in order to not have any liability.

The bolt manufacturer sold bolts that did not meet the specifications as advertised. RI approved the amended plan without proper testing. AE refused to comment on the amended plan.

Bolt manufacturer sued – settled out of court Seven (7) riggers lost their lives due to this incident

AE could have informed RI of previous companies having to remove the microwave baskets and that this would be absolutely not allowed. AE could have urged RI to consult a third-party engineering firm. AE could have looked at the original design with RI to ensure nothing was missed. AE could have accepted liability and looked at the proposed amendments. AE could have looked at the amended plans.

RI could delay the job until deemed safe. RI could have tested the bolts before use. Bolt manufacturer could have not sold weak materials.

Stress in bolts was 7 times what the riggers though it would be
