Employee amputates thumb when caught between wrench and beam

At 1:15 p.m. on October 8, 2020, an employee was removing bolts from the diving door of a submarine, using an air driven impact wrench. When the employee removed the final bolt, the door swung down, pushing the impact wrench down on his hand, and his thumb got pinched between the impact wrench and the support beam under the submarine. X-rays revealed some bone loss to the left thumb, classifying the injury as an amputation. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
