Off all the ways one could die, this has to be one of the worst:
A Czech tractor driver died under eight tons of manure in a bizarre accident that has baffled his employers, local media reported.
The 34-year old man, identified only as Martin T, suffocated after the load fell on him while he was dumping it in a field near the western Czech city of Karlovy Vary, news Web Site www.novinky.cz reported Sunday. “It absolutely beats me how this could happen,” said Vladimir Erps, chief of the company employing the victim.
“The truck is operated from the tractor cabin, using hydraulics. There was nothing for him to do under the truck, but it’s tough to blame him now that he is dead,” the news site quoted him as saying.
Police are investigating the death as a work-related accident.
Maybe the pine smell in my car isn’t that bad after all…
Still not as bad as that Indian or Thai guy that was cleaning the elephant cage when *somehow* his head got stuck in the elephant’s butt!
Know what I’m sayin’?
