Employee Suffers Injury in Airplane Hanger Accident

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on the August 9, 2012 Employee #1 was given a work order to repair a leaking nose landing gear retractor hydraulic line on a small jet aircraft. The leaking hydraulic line was located to the rear of the aircraft's nose landing gear wheel well, so to access the leaking hydraulic line. Employee #1 removed the left and right forward pins from the aircraft's nose landing gear. As Employee #1 removed the forward pins of the truss brace, the unsupported forward weight of the aircraft forced the aircraft's nose landing gear to retract, causing the nose of the aircraft to fall to the floor of the hanger. As the nose of the aircraft fell to the floor, Employee #1 attempted to get out from underneath the aircraft, however the nose of the plane struck Employee #1, driving him to the floor and landing on top of him. Many coworkers throughout the hanger came to the aircraft to render assistance, and they lifted the nose of the aircraft, and removed Employee #1 from underneath. Local Fire and Police were notified of the accident and arrived to the site of the accident. Employee #1 was taken to a local area hospital for multiple fractures and released several days later.
