Narrative

A mechanic was in the process of reinstalling the screen motor and rigging the motor into position. As the crew was repositioning the motor to complete the alignment, the motor unexpectedly shifted, causing the back side of the motor to rise. At that time, the mechanic's finger was pinched. The event went reportable on 08/24/2026.
