Event: 08/22/1989

EMPLOYEE KILLED WHEN STRUCK BY FALLING BOOM

Employee #2 was using a Bucy Rus Erie 25 "b" 28.3-ton crawler crane to unload a redi-mix concrete truck. They had made five or six, 0.75-yard bucket hoists with a boom angle of 35 degrees with no problem. On the next hoist the boom raised the bucket a few inches and the boom support cable snapped. The boom fell on the redi-mix truck, bounced off and struck Employee #1 killing him instantly.
