OMG ... ever burned your hand with steam removing the lid from a pot you were heating? He most assuredly suffered a horrible death, at least until his lungs were finally cooked by the steam, poor fella ...

I heard that a couple years ago at a company here in tulsa a guy died because he got stuck in an industrial dryer. I forgot the company name but i always see their trucks around....i think the company is right next to the giant factory on S129

Oh, man ... you guys are really brightening my day ...

A few years ago 2 guys died after doing some maintenance on a pipe temper furnace. Basically it's a big metal box that heats pipe to temper the steel. They usually run about 950-1000 degrees. They failed to lock out the burners and didn't have the proper permit from their supervisor to be in the confined space. After they were found missing they realized the guys were in there. After pulling them out both men were completely missing their fingernails and had clawed at the door to the point they had bone exposed and skull fractures from beating their selves against the access hatch.

All I can think is how horrible would it be to know that your about to be killed by either A. suffocation from the gas displacing the oxygen, or B. the extreme heat. Either way you'd have a good 15-20 minutes to think about it.

Got me to thinking about when Neil Armstrong died recently - and they showed some old film footage of the address President Nixon had prepared to read to the public if the Apollo 11 mission failed to return the two astronauts to the orbiting capsule after completing their mission on the moon. NASA had advised the White House of a very real possibility that the lunar module would malfunction upon liftoff from the moon's surface, thereby stranding Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon to face certain death. Here's the speech that, thankfully, Nixon never had to deliver: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ch-delivered-Apollo-11-astronauts-return.html

I don't know about recent times, but the largest fine in OSHA history was at the tire plant in OKC.

7.some million dollars.

A guy crawled into a tire press, and it started off. He was in maintenance and was on loan from another department.

The fine was because he was not schooled in the safety regs for each department and he was on loan.
