Unnecessary Deaths In The Cornfield

In this case it happened in a grain bin that was being emptied.


At 15 or 16 this guy came close to losing his life in a similar incident. It scared me so much I refused to enter again and wouldn't go near one unless it was empty. Accidents like the one above happen far too often and it doesn't have too.

    I remember these stories growing up and always had a respect for, if not fear of them. Even when I would walk in an empty one, I could almost feel the potential for danger there.

    Oh! But we don't need OSHA looking over our shoulder, do we? I suspect there were safety violations involved.

    There probably were and what about the grain dust explosions you two. They still happen even with all the changes.

    These stories are so sad and not rare. Which is worse.

    What we do Linda is dangerous. Just think of all the PTO fatalities that don't happen so much because of the guards. You can get bit so quick you don't even know it happened until it's done.
