The city of Jamnagar has a ship-breaking yard at Sachana some twenty km. from the town. There are thick cables from water to the shore to pull big ships. These cables are pulled by machine as well as manually. In this particular case three labourers were pulling the cable along with the machine. All of a sudden the machine yielded and the cable became straight and tense. The labourers were holding the cable and bending over it. Because of sudden straightening and tightening of the cable two labourers were thrown away while the third unfortunate one was decapitated as the cable passed though his neck.
