NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- Two shipyard workers are dead after an incident at Marine Hydraulics International in Norfolk on Wednesday morning. Emergency crews responded to MHI, located at 1215 Warrington Ave. near the Midtown Tunnel, 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. The other person later died, shipyard officials said Wednesday afternoon. “We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of two shipyard workers after an incident at MHI Ship Repair’s midtown facility this morning," MHI said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, as well as with the many impacted workers at our facility. We are committed to supporting them through this difficult time. Safety is our top priority at MHI, and we will work within our own team and with local authorities to investigate the cause of this incident.” 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?" MHI had no further comment on the incident as of Wednesday afternoon.
