I am a pipe-fitter .
I usually am under big excavators all day long (If you know anything about these machines , Komatsu PC400 and PC600)

Yesterday , a fellow pipe-layer just got done setting a man-hole in the ground . He was in the hole lining up the excavator for the next ditch . The operator started to dig , and when he did , his bucket fell off the machine , and fell in the hole crushing him against the manhole .
They got a pulse when the FireDept. arrived , and got picked up in a life-line chopper , but lost him in the air .
He was not a lifter , but an ex-Marine , and a gun enthusiast . He was also a dad of 2 and a Foster Dad to many ..

It scared the hell out of me , knowing that I always take working around these big machines for granted . It makes me take a step back , and be glad for the things/people around me.

Please , keep his family in your prayers...
Thanks all...
 
Sorry to hear that .................. you have to be ready to go at any time.
 
The good Lord has another mission in mind for a good man like that.

Prayers for his family.

RIP brother
