Narrative

A pin was being removed from a crane's drive chain. The pin would not come out so heat was applied to the pin from both sides of the pin. The injured employee was told to put the torch away, while 2 other employees hammered on the pin. The injured employee returned and bent down on the other side of the track to look at the pin. The pin let go and struck the employee in the chin.
