I saw a show where a 12-13 year old boy disappeared.
Years later they found him in an abandoned house in the woods. He tried to enter through the chimney and got stuck.

My dad told me he had a high school friend who had just picked up a girl for a date. Driving down her street with the windows down and some guy sitting at his kitchen table by the window cleaning his rifle accidentally fired it and it shot her in the head as they drove past. Seemed too crazy to be true but idk why he would just randomly make that up.

The kid getting decapitated on the waterslide at Schlitterbahn ranks up there

i think you're talking about harley dilly, based on the age (he was 14), but there is another similar story i read about where an 18-year old boy, joshua maddox, was found in a chimney as well...his case was even stranger, as he was found wearing only a thin thermal shirt...the rest of his clothing was found inside the cabin, neatly folded near the fireplace along with his shoes...there was also supposedly a metal grate that had been installed inside the chimney to keep birds and other critters out, but it was missing when the body was found...

I knew the story but just read an in depth Texas Monthly article about the whole thing and the birth of Schlitterbahn last week. Pretty wild how water parks are regulated or were. And by wild I mean kind of scary.

Nutty Putty cave incident

That's not bizarre at all. A lot of people overestimate what they are really able to do and in turn lay a huge burden on others.

Worked the marine and industrial world for 40 years. Have seen a lot of death and injuries.
Was watching a crane load equipment onto a ship with lifting chains. When the chains took weight a guy was steadying the load and the chain rolled onto his hand and started to lift him. His foot/leg got hung up on rail and ripped his arm off at the shoulder. Happened in split second. My group ran over to him and we started to take off our shirts to stem the bleeding. We worked on him but he just turned a shade of gray, bled out. I can still hear him saying "Don't let me die, Don't let me die" then nothing.
Was at a shipyard in Florida when a forklift was loading empty gas bottles onto a truck. Gas bottles were all on a strapped pallet rack. On the last pallet the forklift driver reversed into a deep rut, flipped the forklift and spilled the bottles. One bottle got the valve knocked off and shot about 30 foot into a guy eating his lunch on a concrete footing for a support girder. dead instantly.
Most heartbreaking was when i worked in Chicagoland. Was at a Charity golf tourney that my company was sponsoring with others. We had 6 foursomes playing. I was in the middle of the foursome group. Had played 4 holes and drove up to an elevated tee to find a back up of other foursome. Good opportunity for a beer. A co-worker in the group ahead of us, had his beeper go off(1997) . It was his wife who was 7-8 months pregnant beeping him. I gave him my cell phone to call and his MIL told him she and his wife were on the way to the hospital. He had to leave quick and the golf carts were packed together, but the Marshall at the tee offered to run him back to his car. They took off down the hill flying and were coming onto a bridge. Cleared the bridge but hit a dip in the path and went airborne. He got ejected and did a cartwheel in the air and landed on his head. Dead. Great guy and wife went onto have the baby. Company took care of her and the kid.

Unbelievably sad story. Buddy of mine in Meridian went hunting. He never comes home, but the folks he went hunting with say he headed home.
Found his Bronco in the woods off I-20. He was driving through a storm. Top of a tree snapped off and went through his windshield.
His dog was in the back. Survived without a scratch.
This happened in 1987.

I have a lot of them.
A roughneck was operating an airhoist and got his hand caught while guiding the cable on the spool. It rolled him up on the drum.
During a manriding operating they working below the rotary. They didn't have enough cable on the hoist drum and all the cable spooled off sending the roughneck to the bottom of the gulf still attached.
Another manriding operating they went through the mouse hole with the cable. The operator wasn't paying attention and pulled the roughneck through the hole.
A roughneck was caught between a pipe racker and a motor. Crushed him to death. The racker doesn't move very fast they just weren't paying attention.
An electrician was repairing an elevator. He was on top and some how activated the elevator. He was caught in between the top and the cable sheaves.
While I was working in China a local paint crew of over 20 people was inside a tank painting. They found a piece of metal that needed to be removed. A welder went in the tank with them. When he lit his torch the tank flashed and killed them all.
Here's a few papermill one's. A big man climbed inside a tank that had a small opening and was 6ft from the bottom of the tank. The temp was around 150 degrees. He fell out and died. The swoll up so big they had to cut the wall in the tank to get him out.
Two mechanics were working on a winder roll that weighs several 1000 lbs. When they removed a hydraulic line it fell and crushed both of them.
This is probably one of the worst and happen at the west Monroe mill. My friends dad was killed.
After a shut down 6 of the mill guys went into the boiler to inspect before start up. They were closed up inside and the boiler started. Some were still alive when they got them out but their insides had been cooked. They all died.
I forgot to add this one. An engineer was walking through an old machinery area when he tripped, and an anchor bolt went through his skull.

Friend of mine's son was on the 10th floor of a condo for spring break. There was a cord hanging off the roof 5 floors above that was hanging next to their balcony. Kid thought he could scale the rope, but lost his grip and fell 12 stores to his death.
A client who worked for the FBI told me a story of this college student who applied for an internship. As part of his interview, he had to take a polygraph test. He was asked if he'd committed any crimes and the needles start going wild. After some more questions, the kid admits that several years earlier he and a buddy were driving down back roads one night shooting street signs with birdshot. They shot at a car that was in the other lane causing it to wreck. They kept on going. Found out the next day that the driver died from his injuries. Kid went to prison.

Night watchman was walking on the roof of the warehouse, fell thru the roof and into an ice machine, passed out.. It was a Saturday. He came to but couldn’t pull himself out. Large guy.
Monday, the replacement crew came in and found him in the ice. Pulled him out, he was frozen solid below the waist. He survived in the hospital about 2 days and died.

I see a new way to die almost every week, nothing surprises me anymore. Well, sometimes they surprise me they are still alive!

When I was younger, my neighbor across the street was on an oil rig in the golf that exploded. They only found his teeth in a bracelet to identify him.

In 1184, King Henry IV of Germany called a meeting of nobles to settle a land dispute between a bishop and nearby count. The nobility of the area gathered in the second floor of a building in the town of Erfurt.
The floor, unable to bear the weight of the gathering, gave out and the assembled nobles crashed through the ground floor and into the cesspool below, where at least 60 perished, many drowning in the latrine.
The event is known as the Erfurt Latrine Disaster. Henry, the bishop, and the count survived and the land dispute went unresolved.

16 or 17 year old girl who attended a high school near me that I had a few interactions with at parties.
She was sitting in her parked car in her driveway at her parents house when a tree fell on it, crushing her.
Very unsettling. Shook up the community.
