There are many ways to die and boiling while drowning in
hot liquid has got to be amongst the worst ways to die.
A factory worker in Sydney has died after being trapped for
hours in a hot ink tank. The deceased had been trying to
clean the tank when his legs became trapped. A blade at
the bottom of the tank is thought to have suddenly moved
while he and two co-workers were inside it, around 8.30am
Thursday.
Fellow workers and emergency services desperately tried to
free them. Two workers were rescued, one after a few
minutes and another after two hours, but it was impossible
to save the victim.
News Australia reported the victim is believed to be in his
20s or 30s and his body is still trapped in the six metre long
tank. Both rescued men were taken to Westmead Hospital
with multiple leg fractures and are now in a stable
condition.
New South Wales Ambulance Superintendent Paul Turner
said: "The third patient unfortunately died on scene, this is a
terrible tragedy. We had ten ambulance resources on scene,
along with NSW Police and Fire and Rescue. We did
absolutely everything we could. It’s a tragic set of
circumstances so close to Christmas."
