I just hope he fell in head first and not feet first.

Wow.  That is sad.  His loved ones must be traumatized. 

It is one thing to have someone die, but to have their body destroyed in the process is just unthinkable.

Did he work for Fargo, N.D.?


Seriously, that's horrible. :(

Something like this happened at our local sawmill about 10 or so years back, a mechanic left the ignition key in a giant chipper shredder and was working on it inside when another worker came by and not seeing his partner started it up.  :censored: Which is THE reason you use ignition lockout tags and flags.

I used to think being burned to death would be the worst way to die. I have now changed my vote.

If we had universal healthcare, he would be alive today.  [/hillary mode]

Indeed.  What a gruesome way to go. 

Prayers for his family and a hope that God took him before he felt too much pain.

And if we could harness embryonic stem cells the doctor's could put him back together [/edwards mode]

And if he would have been aborted he would have been spared this traumatic end. [/sparing-people-from-possible-pain-by-aborting-them-before-they-are-born mode]
