Not to make light of it but the further we get from the farm and factory generation the more likely we are to see poor judgement.

Looks like a classic confined space accident

That is such a shame, people outside the industries involved and first responders just don't have any concept of confined spaces and survivable atmospheres. Obviously the first person was focused on the dog and the other two went in after the first but they were doomed the minute they dropped through the opening.

We had 3 guys die here years ago. It was at a oil/gas suppliers facility. Smaller place only about 3 acres in size. There was a pit open to the air and bowl shaped.

One guy walked into the pit and dropped due to low oxygen levels. Second guy went to help , he dropped. Third guy same thing.

You normally would not think a bowl shaped pit open all around would not be an issue but enough gases collected to keep the oxygen out.

First rule of confined space training: if someone goes down, do not go in after them! You need to know what caused the condition first and how to mitigate it.

I do not mind confined places but why didn't ANYONE think of a safety rope or Cable and for petes sake GAS is Heavier than air which is why we carry Rescuers full of Oxygen and sniffers.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

They don't teach basic chemistry anymore it seems. There's all sorts of gasses and elements that are heavier than air and we can only breath air.

Maybe where I grew up but all us kids knew about canaries or candles and well diggers or miners. Heck, many folks had safety lanterns and all the grown men had carbide lights.

I believe that 4(?) guys have died at Oak Island due to gas in the hole (hydrogen sulfide) ?

Sad but too often true. Most of the deaths in confined spaces are would be rescuers.My training was not to enter any space where someone was down until you had proper protection..
