Thanks for the info on the cicumstances of that incident. I know in hindsight we all can be intelligent after the fact, but does that particular company have "a proceedure manual " ?? a logbook to record a prescribed pre start /afterstart check list ? Then maybe if these items were in place, this accident may not have happened ? Yes logbooks are a pain to some ,but aspects of this accident may have been avoided ! In Australia we have such logbooks ( or system) manditory under OH&S legislation. go to logbooks.com.au and see their range available on line.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
