In late 2017, as Indiana
In late 2017, as Indiana geared up to bid for Amazon’s new headquarters location, an Amazon warehouse worker near Indianapolis was fatally injured.
Phillip “Lee” Terry was doing routine maintenance on a forklift when the forks and heavy platform suddenly came down and killed him. Just a few feet away from the site of the accident was a device that would have saved his life. Why didn’t he use it?
This was John Stallone’s question when he began investigating the case for the Indiana state Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Stallone determined Amazon should be held responsible for Terry’s death and a lack of safety training, but the company ended up paying no fines for the fatality. Stallone describes a cozy relationship between Indiana officials and Amazon. He shared his story with Reveal reporter Will Evans for the first time.
In the second of a two-part series with PBS NewsHour, Reveal closely follows a trail of documents and witnesses to investigate why an Amazon worker was blamed for his own death.
