The steelworker, whose name has not been released, suffered some cuts and bruises after falling Thursday from the 16th floor to the 14th floor of the hotel that's being constructed, said Brenda Leach of Green Country Steel Erectors in Salina, Okla., where the man worked.

"He's fine other than a few stitches and he's a little banged-up," Leach said. "It's not every day you have something like that happen."

The worker was flown to St. John Medical Center after falling Thursday morning, said Amanda Clinton, a spokeswoman for the Cherokee Nation.

The tribe is building a 19-story hotel as part of a $125 million expansion of the casino and resort.

I love flushing out the chumps. A great study in human nature. I especially love the name calling that goes on in the name of do gooders of the world. Can't buy better entertainment anywhere!
