PHOENIX — Cranes, back hoes and other heavy equipment are being set up to move a drilling rig that toppled on its side near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, trapping a construction worker. The rig fell over about 9:30 a.m. Monday during construction for the Sky Train guideway system. Phoenix Fire Department officials have not released the name or condition of the construction worker. Phoenix Fire technical rescue teams are at the scene to monitor the safety of the operation and assist in making the connections necessary to move the drilling rig. Authorities say the trench where the rig toppled is unstable and that has complicated the situation.
