Ditch Cave-In Kills 2 Men In Milwaukee
Two of six workers trapped by a frozen clay slide in a three foot trench died from crushing injuries in Milwaukee. The thirty five year old Erwin Biskupski and 53 year old Anton Wiench perished as tons of clay toppled from 18 feet above them while a concrete wall was being built by Peters Construction Co. Fire crews freed the bodies as shoring failed and the slide occurred with no warning.
