One man fell 130 feet and was taken by emergency helicopter to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. He's in critical condition. Another man fell about 30 feet and is listed in serious condition.
The fire chief says there were at least ten people below the equipment when the collapse occurred, but no one else was hurt.
