Investigation Summary
On April 2, 2008, Employees #1, #2, and #3 moved the trolley and scaffold to another location on the bridge, and then proceeded to walk from the bridge to the bank of the river. Upon arriving at the edge of the river, they saw that the scaffold was not where they had left it. Investigations revealed the eye in the tongue on the ballast plate failed, releasing the scaffold and spreader bar allowing them to fall into the river from approximately 50 feet. All three employees were lost. A body of one employee was recovered when they retrieved the scaffold from the bottom of the river. This employee had become entangled in the ropes attached to the scaffold. Another body was later recovered and one employee remains missing.
