Narrative

An employee hooked up a chain sling to a section of I-beam so a bridge crew could move it with a crane. He was guiding the material as the crane moved it when the chain sling slid and allowed the beam to roll. His right index fingertip was then caught and amputated between the chain and I-beam.
