A man who climbed 200 feet to the top of a radio tower at Pine Knob Ski Resort changed his mind and called for help, saying it was windy and he couldn't get down.
"I'm really high up. I was going to jump but I chickened out ... it's very windy," he said in a 911 call about 9:23 p.m. Friday.
The factory worker told the 911 dispatcher at the Oakland County Sheriff's Operations Center that his girlfriend had broken up with him, his parents got divorced and his best friend was t-boned by a semi-truck and had no memory of him.
The caller, from Independence Township, said he had climbed a 200-foot tower on the south side of Pine Knob Ski Resort on Sashabaw Road and could not get down, police said. w what you are reading about Firefighters retrieve 21-year-old from Independence Township from atop a tower at Pine Knob Ski Resort
