Event: 10/14/2004

Three employees killed when tent pole contacts power line

On October 14, 2004, Employees #1 through #3 and several coworkers were moving a tent with six legs across an open field. Employee #1, who was in charge, decided to lift the tent over two temporary fences that had been put up for a special event that weekend. A coworker suggested taking the fences down first, but Employee #1 said, "No we can lift the tent over the fence." As they raised the tent, the center pole contacted a 7200-volt overhead power line. Employees #1 to #3 were electrocuted. The other workers sustained severe burns, for which they were hospitalized. The power line was directly over the fence and was apparently not noticed by the crew. Employee #1 was wearing cowboy boots, Employee #2 was wearing safety toe shoes, and Employee #3 was wearing mountain climbing shoes. Employees #4 through #6 were wearing tennis shoes.
