A very good friend's first husband worked oil & gas in west Texas.  He was not very high up on the totem pole.  His boss told him to climb up onto a huge tank of crude and sweep it off . . . it caved in, and he drowned.  Apparently it's very difficult to tread crude oil.

Dad had a childhood friend drown in a rice dryer.

I had a neighbor growing up who rolled a tractor into a pond, and was pinned with survivable injuries except he couldn't get his head above water and drowned before the tractor could be pulled off of him. 

Friend dated a guy lost his wife this way. Zero turn. He attempted to get it off and couldn’t. Mid 30’s guy. Ugh.

1) a guy got pinned in the buckle between two rail cars. They were able to get his wife out there to say goodbye, but they couldn't pull the cars apart without him immediately bleeding out, so he had to chill while his wife probably spent 20 minutes looking for her keys that were actually in her purse the whole time.

2) an empty hopper car came in to be washed and loaded, but there was something oozing out of the bottom. A few guys had tried to sneak across the border in it, but their escape rope broke and they were trapped inside and turned to soup in the Texas/Mexico sun.

Something like that happened in my neck of the woods years ago. They wrapped a sheet around the guy till he could tell his family bye.

At the old ore plant, they were dumping molten ore in a frame bucket. It had water in the bottom and it shot everything out onto the operator.

And for all you assholes that still facilitate this, let's add being trapped in a hot F'ing car while your owner decides between Cabernet and Pinot.

My old man investigated pipeline accidents for decades.  One that he never shook was two guys in south La. who got taken out.  It was a Friday, they were probably jawing with each other about all the beer and poontang they intended to slay over the weekend.  The two of them were leaning over a hatch on a pressurized line, turning the wheel/moving whatever apparatus it was to open that hatch.  They forgot to check the pressure.  Hatch blows.  Bottom half of each guy knocked back a good ways from the location.  Top half of one guy found 1,000 feet away.  Top half of other guy never found.  That one really shook my old man up, because it was just one moment of failing to pay attention to the basics, and it killed the both of them.

He also investigated an incident where a pogie boat (so, full of oily menhaden for fish meal and such) hit a gas line that was SUPPOSED to be buried, but had been exposed and floated up to where the boat hit it, split it, and it blew.  Killed several crew members.  But when he got to the site a day later....in warm weather, with the boat and its hold refrigeration system obviously out of action....he said that the smell of all of that rotten fish was the worst thing he ever smelled.

Nevermind when he was the chief US federal investigator on loan to the Mexican government to investigate the San Juanico LNG disaster in 1984 -- killed 500-600, injured thousands more.  He saw some shit.

And that dude who fell into the lasagna meat grinder at Michaelangelos foods in Round Rock.

I avoided buying their products for a good while after that.  Wanted to make sure they had time to, uhh, flush the machinery.

[SHOOTER12 8769]

Two guys I went to school with ran those giant scrapers used to scrapers a coal bed.  Those things typically run side by side hauling ass.  One night they got too close  and collided and Billy was thrown off and the scrapers ran over him.

[Knoxtnhorn 5908]

This one creeped me out quite a bit when it happened.  As @Brisketexan mentioned, the worst deaths can just be things that occur by really random bits of bad luck.  Russians are throwing a pool party.  Someone throws dry ice into the pool.  Oxygen is immediately sucked out and several asphyxiate.  Ugh.

Long haired Asian lady at the Ace Tailors off South Congress IIRC. Her hair got caught in a washing machine agitator when she opened the lid while it was running. That was probably close to 20 years ago now.

Being captured alive back in the day by the Comanches...

I had an idea, but just reading it...damn.

The Comanche roasted captive American and Mexican soldiers to death over open fires. Others were castrated and scalped while alive. The most agonizing Comanche tortures included burying captives up to the chin and cutting off their eyelids so their eyes were seared by the burning sun before they starved to death.

So I worked night shifts at a grain elevator off 225 on the ship channel, and I was told this story as part of a warning that cars that got shoved down the tracks are surprisingly silent, so never ever walk around on the tracks.   This was probably around 1990. 
 

But seeing here that a couple others heard this story makes me wonder it it’s an urban legend (?).

Yeah the movies are cool, but the obsession/worship is too much for some.  The worship of white gangsters from history and movies is a huge part of black gangster culture, and has had a big impact on black on black crime.  Without the gangsters to show them how, violence would not have accelerated at the rate that it has in those neighborhoods.  I think i'm probably as blood thirsty as the next guy in my entertainment pursuits, but I'm glad it hasn't devolved into fascination and/or worship.  

[Deej 76197]

I find it extremely interesting. I don't worship them. It's just pretty fascinating that people who aren't all that bright as a whole can get away with some of that shit. Same reason politics can be interesting.

I think the incident that @Jkwellbornwas referring to was the same one I was referring to. And yes, railcars roll incredibly silently. We still roll them down (we'll, I don't anymore) to loading spots manually. One man standing at the wheel brake on the front car trying to stop it at just the right position so that the loaders can reach all the compartments of the next one. Everyone in a while youtighten down on the brakes only to realize that the brakes don't work.

For hungry eyes that could not speak
Said even little doggie's have got to eat

Dealt with sorghum and grain dryers on the high plains in my ute. There's not enough moisture involved in which to drown.  Was the youngster covered in rice, thus suffocating?

About a month ago we were having a team building afternoon at punch bowl social at the domain. Very soon after we got there they started evacuating the place and people were running from the bowling lanes. The staff came from the maintenance area behind the pins crying and screaming. They had just seen their coworker get beheaded by the pin reset machine. All of our future events with punch bowl have been canceled and apparently that location will be closed for some time. I don’t know if they are back open yet or not.

Probably.  Happened to a guy where I grew up too.  He fell in and they couldn’t get the feed turned off before he was buried.

In the mid 80s my brother worked at a place that made the wire racks for Little Debbie's and Frito Lays displays.  One night everyone went on break except the guy operating the chrome plating line.  When everyone returned from break, he was nowhere to be found, so they started looking for him.  About an hour later someone looked in the hot (approximately 190° F) rinse and saw his remains on the bottom.  He had tried to walk along the top of the wall for some reason, slipped and fell in.

They tried to scoop him out, but, to quote my brother, "he fell apart like a boiled chicken."  They had to pump out the tank for the recovery, which took over 24 hrs due to capacity to treat the rinse water as it was pumped out.

The counselor the company brought in to help folks deal with it said that with the shock of the hot water the guy probably died quickly, but my brother and a couple of the others saw marks on the tank walls showing not only where the guy had slipped on the wall, but also where he tried to crawl out but couldn't pull himself out.  Boiled alive little at a time seems like it would suck.

Yeah, I’ve spotted them up at work and it’s crazy how quiet they are. We would drag them with a forklift and once they started, all you did was let it roll.

I was doing due diligence on a company a client was going to buy.  One lawsuit they were defending involved a transport truck for a load of pipe (the steel kind,not the steelshank kind). A single pipe was not chained correctly and going up a mountain it slid off and impaled a driver through the chest.

I make sure not to tailgate those trucks now.

I know a guy whose wife was driving through town, following the speed limit, minding her own business and the PTO driveshaft fell off an oilfield truck she met. Went through her windshield and you know the rest of the story.

My wife works in construction QA/QC. A crew on her project was operating one of the millers that scrapes the old asphalt off. A younger guy directing the miller wasn't paying attention for a second and got his leg pulled into the miller. He died within a couple minutes. The miller operator was his uncle.

Summer after our college freshman year, a couple of friends went scuba diving in one of the N. Florida panhandle caves. Both were very experienced divers, but they still got lost. When their bodies were recovered around 120' down, neither was wearing his weight belt. The thought of their final moments still haunts me decades later.

Knew a dude who was riding in the back of a pickup.  Short ride of about a mile from one friends apartment complex to another, so he jumped in the back while dude driving and some girls sat up front.  He was sitting on the side instead of down in the bed.  His other buddy gunned it pulling into parking garage of the arrival complex.  Guy was pretty tall. Low clearance man....low fucking clearance.

When I was in the navy a guy was doing a clean an inspect on some 4160 V breakers.  They electrically disconnect when you rack out that breaker drawer from two stabs in the back.  Guy had reached back there and his body had became part of the circuit.  They found just his bones when they got to him
