Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:45 p.m. on September 5, 1984, Employee #3 was supervising the drilling of a test pile for a construction site. The auger was about 1.5 ft into the hole. As Employees #1 and #2 approached the drilling area, the auger came to a complete stop and then counter-released at a high velocity. The torque arm was attached to the drill lead but not secured to the crane. The 16-ft, 4-in.-long torque arm struck Employees #1 and #2 and grazed Employee #3. Employees #1 and #2 sustained multiple injuries and were killed. Employee #3's shoulder was bruised and lacerated.
