Employee Is Killed When Struck by Crane Sections

On April 28, 2005, Employee #1 was separating a crawler-crane boom to add a 20-ft section. He failed to place any cribbing before positioning himself under the two sections he was to separate. When Employee #1 knocked out the two bottom pins of a boom joint, the two boom sections on either side of this joint dropped. He was struck by these sections and killed.
