Tease was taken to St. Luke's Hospital and according to the emergency room nurse he had a broken right arm, three broken ribs and a fractured left leg in addition to suffering a concussion. According to construction workers at the site it was very windy and the beams were slippery from the previous night's rainstorm. Although the city's building department had ordered the site to install safety lines for workers the week before none had been installed.
Murphy Tease was a riveter and had been working on the fifteen inch wide beams about forty feet above ground and was knocked backwards by a gust of wind onto the concrete below. Had safety lines been installed as instructed Tease's entire accident could have been easily prevented. As of now Tease is in satisfactory condition.
