Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on February 9, 2008, Employee #1 and four coworkers were working for Gulf Stream Marine, Inc. They were working in the hull of the vessel Industrial Dart at Kavanaugh Dock #1. At the same time, a crane truck was being lifted so that it could be loaded into the cargo hold of that vessel. The front and rear chassis-mounted tow hooks of the truck were being used as attachment points for the rigging. As the truck was being lowered into the cargo hold by a shoreside crane, the tow hook mounting bolts on the front of the truck broke. The front of truck fell approximately seventeen feet to the cargo deck, striking and crushing Employee #1. The other four employees were able to run out of the way of the truck.
