The rumor I've heard is that they were demolishing the ramp up high, higher than could be reached from equipment on the ground. The young man was in a skid steer breaking the ramp walls, and he drove over the edge. At least, that's the rumor. It may have been simple driver error in a situation in which there are no perfectly effective safety protocols, or it may have been a failure of follow proper safety protocols. I have no idea.
Edit: Actually, latest rumor is not that he drove over the edge while operating the skid steer, but that the part of the ramp he was on gave way while he was demolishing it. The kind of work that has to be done in this case (the partial demo of a high ramp that can't be reached by equipment on the ground) is very dangerous stuff. This is very sad.
