Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on July 8, 2024, Employee #1 was climbing down a ladder into a street storm drain when an air bag/plug inside the drainpipe exploded. The explosion propelled the employee out of the storm drain and onto the street. The employee sustained multiple skull fractures, contusions, bruises, and scrapes to the extremities, back, and lungs. Additional injuries included a laceration to the top of the head and a lacerated liver. The injuries were caused by the pressure from the exploding air bag/plug. Emergency services responded, but the employee died at the site.
