Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die. - Mel Brooks
A lot of those people are making comments about him being an illegal immigrant, because he had a Hispanic last name. That’s not morbid humor in the face of a horrible accident. That’s just being a racist dick.
I keep up with the monthly OSHA workplace fatality reports as part of my job. Death by fall from elevation is usually the biggest killer. But, food processing-related, every so often someone will be suffocated in a grain silo
Hispanics make up a larger percentage of workplace fatalities than their % of the general population. Employers don’t have to hire them if they don’t speak adequate English: that’s not hiring discrimination. But if they do hire them, they are highly required to put all safety communication out there in Spanish.
(We don’t joke about this stuff at work. I doubt the EMT’s do it until later, but no joking in the era of iPhone recording.)
I’m sorry. Yeah, I was bad. Its pretty horrific. I’m going to be skipping tuna for a long while now. I just hope they have the good sense not to try to recycle the food into their pet food division. I mean, could you imagine 80 million cats with a taste for human flesh…?
…that is SO going to be a SyFi Channel Movie… filmed in Canada… and with Tom Skerritt as the Sheriff…
Jeffrey Dahmer worked in a candy factory. They made little chocolate Santas. What if he had been killed at work, and said a bunch of Latin incantations as he died? Thousands of little candy Chuckies!
I just read back through this whole thread and I don’t get your comment about him being an illegal immigrant? My reference to “Bubba” is to the average low-wit (often bear drinking) idiot that you find around trailer parks. So, if you think that was something to do with his ethnicity it wasn’t. I had to go back to the article to even find the man’s name. I haven’t seen anyone mention immigration status or even refer to it. (But, I admit, I don’t get the ‘turn pink in the can’ remark.)

Mmm, I love drinking bear. 
Not this thread. The comments on the original article, which were what olivesmarch4th first commented on as being stunningly callous.
Ohhh… very well then… I shall unbunch my knickers, finish skirting my trailer then sit down for a nice cold brew.
Thanks. Learn something every day.

From the machine being termed a “steamer”, it’s possible that the death occurred very quickly (which might have been a mercy to the victim). In other words, even if other workers had seen him fall into/trapped in the oven they may simply not have been able to extract him in time.

Having seen similar processing facilities on TV shows like How It’s Made, I’m guessing he was in a pressurized steam vessel called a retort that operates at about 2500 degrees. I’m hoping that he suffered some other injury such as tripping and hitting his head, had a heart attack, or similar that left him unaware that he was about to be cooked.
“Tuna noodle hotdish is people!”
2500 degrees is nearly the melting point of Iron…
I wonder if friends will bring his family tuna casserole.
Nice.
Oh, hi. You must be new here.

:smack: It’s also the melting point of decimal points or extra zeros. Needless to say, that should have been 250° F.
But is it still dolphin safe?
