The auditorium at Ryle

Kentucky · USA · Execution site

He was on a scaffold in the auditorium while the school was being built. Colleagues were talking to him one minute and watching him fall the next.

While this school at Union, Kentucky was under construction, a man working on a scaffold in the auditorium fell many feet to his death.

The detail that has kept the story is the suddenness. His colleagues were talking to him one moment, and the next he was falling.

Students walking alone in the school see him.

No name is set down here. This is recent enough that his family are in Boone County.

Auditorium construction produces this accident more than any other part of a school building, because the ceiling is high, the work is done from scaffolds and lifts, and there is nothing underneath but a concrete floor. It is the fourth or fifth account of exactly this kind in this collection.

That frequency is not folklore. It reflects what the work is actually like.

The school is in use.
