## Narrative

The counterweight guide shoes were worn allowing the counterweight to separate within the guide rails. This caused the counterweight to strike a cross beam damaging it. It also caused the two (2) connecting pins that connect the top and bottom counterweights to break apart. This was repaired and put back in service that day.
