I just got a phone call from a very good friend of mine. She just informed me that her younger brother (also a very good freind of mine) was at work getting his cat prepped for the day. I guess something with the blade (front part) had to be changed into a grinder wheel.
Not knowing the process of this transfer will make this a bit vague but you will get the jest of what transpired.
Shane, 26 (the cat operator) was in the cab and had this grinder wheel chained to secure it as his helper (41) was doing his job for the switch. The helper was under the wheel for just a brief second to grab something and the chain broke. The wheel probably weighs a couple tons (speculation) and it came down right on top of him.....i'm sure you can picture the horrific event.
The man died instantly, leaving a wife and three children...
