Incident on Dec 2, 1985 (fatal): Employee killed when wall collapses
On December 2, 1985, Employee #1 was framing the second story of a townhouse apa rtment when a strong gust of wind blew against the adjacent cinderblock firewall s. The gust of wind, recorded at 57 mph at a nearby air force base, over stresse d (laterally) the cinderblock walls. The wall fractured at the base of the secon d floor and fell intact on Employee #1, striking and killing the employee, and b reaking up on impact. The cinderblock wall was 28 ft high (above ground elevatio n), and was 18 ft tall (from the base of the second floor where it fractured). T he vibration, as well as the continuing turbulent winds contributed to the colla pse of the adjacent wall and other portions of block work on neighboring units.

29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1)
(1) When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder shall be secured at its top to a rigid support that will not deflect, and a grasping device, such as a grabrail, shall be provided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder.
