Accident at work leads to B182's temporary shutdown

The incident took place when a 64-year-old worker was injured while lowering heavy drilling pipes. Individual parts of the pipes detached, striking the worker and causing severe injuries.
Emergency services, police, and a rescue helicopter were promptly called to the scene. The Torgau fire department deployed several vehicles to assist with the response. The injured worker was airlifted by the rescue helicopter to a specialized trauma center for immediate medical attention.
