There is surprisingly little information on the web about this, I might say that we here in Local 8 lost a 63 year old Mechanic for Schindler Elevator at the new SF 49er stadium a few months ago. Sad. Apparently, while working in construction, he was said to be on a ladder in the pit and the counterweight of that car he was working on came down and struck him somehow. His proby helper was told to take the car up and get something for him. I don't know much more and I don't think the helper was at fault but I also heard, he came out of retirement to work on the project. I did not know him. But rip. Lock out, tag out?
