An Italian cheese maker died this week after thousands of cheese wheels fell and crushed him in his warehouse.
Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was checking over his stock Sunday night when a shelf buckled, dropping as many as 15,000 wheels of cheese on him in an avalanche. Each wheel weighed as much as 84 pounds, the BBC reported.
Firefighters responded after neighbors reported a sound "like thunder" from the warehouse. The search for Chiapparini took 12 hours before authorities located his body.

The Chiapparini warehouse in Lombardy contained 25,000 wheels of Grana Padano, a hard cheese similar to Parmesan. The economic damage totaled around $7.7 million in losses.

That’s what happens when you don’t say stop at Olive Garden

You just know they're going to still sell all that cheese. Someone, somewhere, someday will be eating killer cheese, and they probably won't even know it.
