Employee killed by falling crane load

On February 27, 1985, Employee #1 and a coworker were tying steel in a steel warehouse. The coworker walked away just as a crane operator advanced toward them with an overhead load. The crane operator raised the load to clear Employee #1's head, but the crane two-blocked. The crane load, two pieces of angle iron, fell on Employee #1. He was in the hospital until his death on March 3, 1985. The crane's upper limit switch was defective.
