NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- A man is dead and another person is seriously hurt after an incident at Marine Hydraulics International, or MHI, on Wednesday morning in Norfolk, police said. Emergency crews responded to MHI, located at 1215 Warrington Ave., for a technical rescue, officials said. Dispatchers confirmed they received the first call at 7:46 a.m. about the incident. Norfolk Police were called to the area to assist Norfolk Fire-Rescue around 8:10 a.m. A man was pronounced deceased at the scene, and another person was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. While workers on the ship where the incident occurred were sent home for the day, the rest of the shipyard continued their normal operations. One worker who wishes to remain anonymous told 10 On Your Side's Karina F. Garcia about his experience. "We're still working, but, you know, I'm still traumatized a little bit," he said. "You hear something like that, it's going to change the rest of your day, it's not going to make you like, 'ah man, let me back to work,' it's like, nah it's going to be on my mind. It's going to make me think about the things I do. Like what kind of environment do I work in? How safe is it, you know?" The details surrounding this incident will be updated as they come in.
