A container was apparently still connected to the crane&#8217;s spreader, and the workers were attempting to lower it to the ground manually. In that process a hoist brake drum ruptured, propelling fragments at high speed. It is alleged that one of the workers was struck and killed by those fragments; the other suffered a severed arm.<\/p>\n<p>The media account provided below (a very basic translation from the original Flemish) provides a bit more in the way of information, but nothing conclusive as to cause can be conjectured at this point in time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2312\" src=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ASC-DP-World-AG-nieuw-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5184px) 100vw, 5184px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Link to Media Account:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/In-the-case-of-an-accident-at-work-Twenty-one-year-old-dies-in-Waaslandhaven-062818.pdf\">In the case of an accident at work, Twenty one year old dies in Waaslandhaven (062818)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terrible Accident Occurs During Automatic Stacking Crane Repair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blueoceana_blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2315,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2311\/revisions\/2315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
