More images still depicting the confined space recovery of a worker Thursday in Wheeling.
This is the first of several updates which will depict the confined space recovery operation Thursday at the Sunnyside Corporation industrial accident where a worker was overcome by methylene chloride fumes in an outside storage tank. Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro were at the scene for much of the operation.
The first images are from Larry Shapiro who arrived shortly after the first Wheeling fire companies and the determination was made that the operation would be a recovery and not a rescue.
A technical rescue box alarm was initiated and on-scene units made preliminary preparations for the removal prior to the arrival of the supplemental technicians, equipment and supplies.
