Abstract: On October 5, 2006, Employee #1, a welder, was working at a construction jobsite where a Link-Belt 218 lattice boom crawler crane was used to move a 10,000-lb MKT V22 vibratory hammer. During the handling operation, the crane's gantry cable parted and the boom fell on a railroad car and a railroad bridge. The vibratory hammer was also released, and it struck and pinned Employee #1 to the ground. He sustained multiple body fractures and was killed as a result.
