Narrative

Two front end loaders, one on each side, were being used to position an 80 foot section of 18 inch diameter pipe in the waters edge. When the loader on the right was about 25-30 feet from the lake, the bank started to cave in. Within 3 minutes the loader was submerged in about 20 feet of water.
