Investigation Summary
At about 11:45 p.m. on May 14, 2003, Employee #1, a roustabout, was loading nine 60-ft-long timber pylons onto a deck barge. When the pylons were swung over the barge by a friction crawler crane located on the dock, the two cable-laid wire rope slings holding the pylons failed. The pylons fell onto the barge, striking Employee #1, and killing him.
