On February 3, 2008, were at a site at which over half of the tilt-up walls had already been set in place and braced. Work was in progress at the front of the b uilding, where two separate panels--an inside panel and an outside panel--were t o be set. The inside panels had been set and braced the day before. On the day o f the accident, the first outside panel had been set in place and braced, and Em ployee #1 and the coworker had positioned the second outside panel. The two brac es for this panel had been placed through an opening in the inside panel that wa s behind it, to be secured when the outer panel was in position. Employee #1 and the coworker were each holding an outside panel brace when the inside panel (wh ich was already set and braced in place) began to fall toward them (toward the i nside of the building). They dropped their braces and ran to escape from the fal ling wall. The coworker made it to safety, but Employee #1 was crushed and kille d by the falling 54,094 lb wall.
