Narrative

On October 27, 2018, at approximately 9:15 PM, a crew of five employees was working on a drilling rig when the traveling block hit the crown, which caused the travel block to fall to the rig floor. One employee was struck by debris from the damaged rig and suffered a fractured neck, broken left arm, and two broken ribs. Another employee jumped away from the rig structure and fell to the ground below resulting in a left foot amputation.
