Narrative

EE was replacing impeller bars in Crusher. While exiting crusher, the wedge locking the rotor in place came loose. The rotor appears to have been out of balance due to a missing set of impeller bars. The unbalanced rotor begun to spin & the EE's boot caught between the wall & the rotor pulling him downward. EE suffered left leg lacerations & two crushed toes on right foot.
