On August 17, 2004, Employee #1 was putting his equipment up for the night in a cabinet that was in the salvage yard. A huge pile of scrap was located nearby. As a train passed by, the vibrations from the train caused a steel beam on the pile to shift and slide down. It slid and struck Employee #1, killing him.
