Narrative

On March 20, 2015, at approximately 11:00 p.m., an employee was using a core drill to remove anchors from the face of the Bluestone Dam in Hinton, West Virginia. A 1/4" to 3/8" rope became entangled in the 3" core bit. The employee's left arm was pulled into the rotating bit, which resulted in fractures of the radius and ulna.
