The Thinning Of The Herd Continues




I don’t even know where to begin. This is tragically funny, and if there was a video Tosh.0 would be all over it. Do you remember the scene at the end of T2? The one where Arnie is being lowered into the molten pit at the factory? Well this is tons better because it's real life.

This story provides an important reminder for workers: They can put their lives at risk while trying to save a co-worker. The best action is to contact trained emergency responders.
Six workers drowned after falling into a giant vat of ketchup at a plant in Lucknow, India.

The chain of events started when one worker fell into the 20-foot deep tank.

Police say, as five co-workers dived in to save her, they were all overcome by fumes given off from fermenting vegetables and drowned.

Two more workers were hospitalized.

Investigators say the woman was scooping fermented vegetables from the vat when she slipped off her ladder and plunged into the tank.

The factory owner was taken into custody.
