At 3:00 p.m. on August 8, 2007, Employee #1, a general laborer for a large construction contractor, was on a scaffold installing a plastic sheet scaffold cover on the exterior of a 178 ft long by 37 ft tall metal tube.

He sustained a fractured pelvis, fractured ribs, right sacral fractures, fractures to his cervical spine, and contusions to his right lung, spleen, and liver. He was transported to Huntington Hospital, where he was admitted for surgery. The scaffold was not used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and it was not anchored and braced to prevent collapse.
