All of the searching I have done shows AG Transport as an intermodal freight carrier with no mention of demo work. It might not be the same group, if you google AG Transport you get a bunch of different companies with the same name.
They were going to pull it over with a cable ,and then it fell straight down and then over to one side while they were underneath it doing prep work. Cement and block plants are always more dangerous to wreck in my opinoin. The towers and hoppers are usually built with little or no engineering and there is good chance that there is always product stuck in them. The say the the worker that was killed was an industrial demolition expert, can anyone verify this? Does anyone know anything about AG transport?
The work is identified as 54-year-old Juan J. Navarro of El Monte, Calif.
Sadly this is the second fatality at the site, Last October, Sean Norva, a 23-year-old welder from Waipahu, HI died after the oil tank he was working on at PSC Industrial's plant, exploded.
Our thoughts and prayers go out the victim's family.
I've never heard of either company or the worker. Like the investigators, I am trying to figure out how this happened, the said it collapsed about 5 minutes before demolition, does anyone know if the were shooting it?
There is a news video of the tower coming down on google.Do any of you west coast guys know the demo company or the worker.
Workers found the body this afternoon of a demolition workman who was caught inside a 120-foot-tall cement cooling tower that collapsed this weekend (Saturday 5/16) at Campbell Industrial Park, said Honolulu Fire Capt. Robert Main.
The victim and another man, both employees of AG Transport Co. of California, were inside a 120-foot-tall cooling tower weakening it so it could be pulled down, Main said.
