Narrative

On Saturday, August 11, 2018, four employees were unloading a barge containing structural steel. One employee was operating an overhead crane remotely when the cable jumped off the hoist. The injured employee went on the crane to see if there was anything he could do to get it back on track. While he was trying to get the cable back on track, tension developed in the cable, severing the ring, middle, and index fingers of his left hand and the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
