The overturned lift
One man was in the platform and is in critical condition while the other was apparently on the ground alongside the machine when it happened and is in serious condition.
The incident occurred in the eastern suburb of Carina, and it looks as though the machine had no stabilisers set. The fact that one of the men was on the ground also suggest that they were not wearing harnesses and lanyards.
