Description of Driving Event:
In the process of pulling a 30 foot long water pump weighing 3 tons out of a pit, two 3/4 inch eye bolts were screwed into the pump motor base and a cable sling attached to the eye bolts. The pump was pulled out of the pit setting one end on the ground. When starting to lay it down to a horizontal position, one of the eye bolts sheared off, dropping the pump to the ground.
