Investigation Nr: 14487995

Event: 01/27/1990

Two employees killed in falls from building

Employee #1 was using a 14 ft straight aluminum ladder to climb from the 14th floor terrace to the roof. The ladder twisted and Employee #1 fell approximately 13 stories to a sidewalk bridge. Employee #2 witnessed the accident and attempted to jump from the 12th floor south terrace to the 12th floor west terrace. He apparently intended to use a ladder from the west terrace to access an elevator to the ground level. Employee #2 missed the west terrace and fell approximately 12 stories to the ground. Employees #1 and #2 were killed. The straight ladder was not secured to prevent displacement.
