Abstract: On November 18, 2009, Employee #1, of Elevating Boats LLC, was operating a 200 ton LC400 pedestal crane. Employee #1 lifted a 30 ton concrete test weight off of a flat bed truck and lowered it to the ground. The test block was about 1 ft off the ground, and suddenly the pedestal crane sheared off below the turn-table bearing race, causing the crane to collapse. Employee #1 was thrown out of the crane. The 200 ft boom on the crane fell into the welding shop below. Employee #2 was operating a press brake inside the shop, when the roof of the shop fell on top of him. Employee #1 sustained injuries to both left and right heels and ankles and was treated at the hospital. Employee #2 was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
