Employee Drowns in Mine Cut

On November 11, 2008, Employee #1 was operating a bulldozer to move soil at a mine site. Specifically, he was pushing soil into a mine cut that was filled with water. As he was pushing soil into the mine cut, a large section of the bank broke off and slid into the mine cut, taking Employee #1 and the bulldozer along with it. The bulldozer became submerged all the way to its roof. Employee #1, who was not able to exit the cab of the bulldozer, drowned. Employee #1 was found inside the cab, facing the rear.
