How sick are you people??? This is a tragedy. Stop making judgements and appreciate that an incredible young man is gone. Billy was a great guy, good friend and son. His child will never know him, his mother has to grieve the loss of her child, which is unimaginable, as a mother myself. Have some respect and if you can't find other ways to waste your time.
God Bless his family, girlfriend, child & friends! Billy you will be missed! DMW

I haven't used an aluminum ladder in 20 years. R.I.P

That's why you use fiberglass ladders near powerlines.
