Trench Collapse Accidents

In some cases workers are saved by the quick response of co workers. In other cases, they are buried alive and out of easy reach of responders.
Horrible Consequences of Trench Collapses
Unfortunately. many perish, while others who are pulled out of the collapsed trench suffer brain damage due to oxygen deprivation while trapped under the surface. Other survivors are pulled out with broken backs and crushed ribs and a list of other disabling injuries that leave them with permanent damage.
