Narrative

At 10:51 the #9 hoist went down with a high temp reading (140° F) on #3 bearing. Employees were evacuated from the shaft using the Auxiliary hoist. The bearing cap was pulled at that time for inspection, during this time it was noticed that the oil level site glass was reading higher levels than what was in the gear box and it seemed to be air locked.
