There was one episoded where a bunch of ppl decided to get on top of a factory to get a better view.
Roof caved in and allot people fell into some kind of vat full of molten glass or metal.

I had a traffic camera video saved to my PC that was from some Asian country where a scooter cut in front of a large eight-wheeled truck.
Totally squished the poor bastard.

Wow that is a great story.

A good friend of my dad’s who was like an uncle to me was sitting in traffic east bound on I-10 at the foot of the Mississippi River bridge when an 18 wheeler plowed in to the stopped traffic and fell over on his car. Crushed him to death while he was sitting there minding his own business.

It devastated the family. A great man and a terrible tragedy.

We had another incident, but the guy didn’t die….he let the pressure off a nitrogen shock absorber for large off road truck. The frame crashed down onto his foot. His steel toe boot and foot was crushed. I was there. It took about 20 mins to get the equipment in place to get him out. Lost the foot. It was awful

If you have ever split wood using a wedge you know the top rolls over as you use it. He came down on it and a piece split off of the top piece that had rolled over and hit him in the heart.

My dad had a similar thing happen to him but the piece of wedge went into his leg just above the knee. Stayed lodged in there for 30-40 years until he had knee surgery in his 70's.

My neighbor that lived across the street. Zipped himself up in a body bag in a rubber suit with hip boots doing some auto-erotica stuff, in his utility room.
Apparently, it didn't go exactly like he had it planned.
At the request of his mother, who had not heard from him in a few days, me and my neighbor+ his grandson, went over to the guy's house to check on him. His mom told us where the hidden key was, to go inside the house..
My neighbor, who was about 80 years old tripped over the bag and I said "let's get the hell out of here"
I wake up the next morning to a lot of noise. The cops are stretching crime scene tape around the place and the sheriff is riding the guy's Harley around the yard.
I had known that guy for 25+ years.

I was at the Williams plant in Geismar when it exploded in 2013. Suoervisor opened the wrong valve on a reboiler and the PSV was closed and the vessel was filled with flammables that had seeped in.





The story I recall hearing is the supervisor was killed almost immediately. The other operator opened/closed (or tried to) something to try to prevent further catastrophe but some superheated liquid poured all over him.

He made it almost back to the control room but was...pretty much melted.

Grisly way to go

Rod Milburn was an olympic gold medalist in track and field from opelousas, la...he later went to work for georgia pacific in port hudson...he was unloading a rail car containing sodium chlorate, and somehow he fell in and died...gruesome

also, when i was a kid, a man was found dead on an overgrown lot adjacent to our property...he had simply tied a rope around a low hanging branch, and the other end around his neck, then he just "sat"...his feet were on the ground, but he let his body weight against the rope kill him...luckily, we didn't come across his body, because we used to play there occasionally, but the smell was horrible, and that's how he was found...
