Narrative

A block of stone was cut into slabs on our MEM Saw. We flipped the block to cut the back side lips off and then re-loaded it onto the beams to be cut again. EE was lining up the wire for the cut, the block broke and pinned EE's legs against the wall of the MEM. EE was taken directly to the hospital and diagnosed with a compound fracture in left leg.
