The worker, who was not immediately identified, died after he was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, said Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Tim Szymanski. Another worker suffered minor injuries."Apparently, these guys were doing some work on this building when they got tangled up in those power lines" about 9:10 a.m., said Szymanski.
