Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:25 p.m. on April 14, 1987, Employee #1 and a coworker were using a shovels to grade the bottom surface of a 15 ft long by 8 ft wide by and 10 to 12 ft deep trench before laying concrete pipe. They were almost done when a portion of the southeast wall caved in, partially burying both workers. A third coworker jumped in to rescue them, but a second cave-in completely covered Employee #1, and partially buried the two coworkers. Employee #1's dead body was pulled out 30 minutes later. The walls of the trench were almost vertical and not shored.
