While unbolting a flange on a water pipe, the final bolt jammed and could not be removed. The forks on a loader were used to wiggle the part to work the bolt free. When the bolt broke free, the tank shifted to the right 20 inches, pinning an employee between the two tanks. The employee sustained several fractured ribs and injury to their lungs.
