We are unaware as to what variation of slinging was being employed, but we do understand that a ship&#8217;s deck crane was apparently being used at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One particular sling load lost 4 lengths of pipe during its hoisting. The four lengths fell back into the ship&#8217;s hold and struck Mr. Ross. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Links To Media Accounts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object
