Narrative

Two employees were drilling a 22-inch diameter hole into the floor of a turbine when the drill bit got stuck. As the employees went to unjam it, the drill became energized and the frame of the drill struck the employees, resulting in a fractured arm, a fractured rib, a laceration to the head, bruises, and abrasions.
