Description of Driving Event:

During final closeout operations of the space shuttle orbiter in High Bay 2 of the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF), a payload bay access platform fell from its stowed position, damaging the orbiter's left payload bay door and injuring a technician. The platform's hoisting cable was previously weakened when technicians used the platform system while it was tagout/lockout. The weakened cable continued to stretch and break, even though the technicians returned it to its stowed position.
