Washington state fined the Boeing Company $3,600 last week after a worker lost his legs when they were trapped under the tires of a 787 Boeing airliner.

On February 3, 2012, Josh Divers, 30, was walking alongside the plane at Paine Field in Everett, Washington when he fell and was pinned under the wheels of the giant 787.

Divers was airlifted to a local hospital.

Divers underwent eight surgeries and both legs were amputated.

Washington’s Department of Labor and Industries issued a citation of a serious violation against Boeing and fined the company $3,600.

The state alleged that Boeing supervisors “verbally instructed the tow team leader to deviate from written aircraft towing procedures by removing the two wing walkers and tail walker from their assigned positions while towing the aircraft on the taxiway.”

“The wing walkers and the tail walker were not in their assigned positions which assists in the monitoring of the safety of the chock walkers and provide capability to signal with their assigned devices to stop the tow when necessary,” the state alleged.

“The tow team leader did not effectively enforce the aircraft towing procedure. The tow team leader did not stop the tow when the chock walker drifted out of the assigned position.”
