Another supervisor arrived at the site and started talking to Employee #1.

The crane that lifted the building was released after the doghouse was fixed at the rig floor level.

Employee #1 was killed instantly; Employee #2 suffered injuries to his foot and shoulder as he moved out from under the doghouse. He was hospitalized, and released after a short time.
