| 2020-06-13 |
| [NYPOST] A 56-year-old North Dakota drowned in a giant vat of sunflower seeds when she lost her footing and was sucked inside the grain bin, according to a report. The unidentified Montpelier woman met her fate in the ghastly accident at the Glinz Farm in Pingree, where she had been helping two trucks unload seeds on Wednesday, the Jamestown Sun reported. The woman was wearing a harness, but it was not attached at the time of the accident and she plunged inside the massive container, according to the news outlet. Other workers cut holes in the side of the bin in a desperate attempt to free the woman. Firefighters and other first responders drilled more holes to try to reach her. She was finally removed and received CPR, but was pronounced dead at the scene. I seen dat movie. |

| #4 There are M. If you are not properly roped off, will suck you rather quickly. This is tragic. The only thing worse are the manure slurry pits. Toxic gases. In one case a father, son and uncle died. First one went in and the other two followed trying to save him. Sad. |

| #3 Its no joke. Even before 'going under' there is tremendous pressure placed on the lung diaphragm. |

| #2 Working inside grain bins is dangerous. Our local Fire Department just had a fire call last week to extricate two folks from one. The first got caught up in the grain and the second tried to rescue him and also got stuck. Luckily there was a third (one of the guy's wife) who called it in. Never been in a full one. Folks tell me it's like quicksand. |
