Photograph taken for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING BIG GOES WRONG, Weakened by heavy jerks designed to dislodge whip stock apparatus after the pulling of tons of pipe, the wreckage shown above shows vividly what happens when a towering steel derrick collapses and crashes to earth. In this tangled network of steel Claude L. Hight, 38-year-old field worker, was crushed to death late Sunday night.
