Three men injured during demolition of Michigan grain silo.
Two men were injured Thursday morning while tearing down and replacing some old silos/grain elevators in Lake Odessa. Three companies, including a demolition crew and a reconstruction crew, were on the property in the 1000 block of 3rd Avenue when the incident occurred at around 9:30 a.m.
One of the contractors, 37-year-old Jason Radke of Plainwell, was in a crane basket 120 feet in the air when the crane collapsed. He landed in a pile of rubble, then was trapped and had to be rescued by emergency personnel, who extricated him. He was airlifted to a hospital where he is in critical condition.
