Narrative

As the drill crew was pumping a overshot down, a burr caught above the stuffing box and started sheering. The driller decided to cut out the bad spot. Driller stopped pumping and cut the wire line. He jammed the wire line with a pipe wrench and his thumb got stuck in the spot behind adjusting nut on the pipe wrench and the hole sucked the wrench against the rod trapping his thumb.
