Wood chipper victim identified
The man killed Tuesday in a Pleasant Prairie wood chipper accident has been identified as Jeremiah Sanders, 30, of Kenosha.

According to the Pleasant Prairie police, Sanders, who owned J's Quality Tree Service, was pulled into and through a wood chipper after trying to free a jammed log with his foot around 5:20 p.m.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration would only say that it is investigating the accident

Interesting stuff. I just read about a guy whose shirt got stuck in a tobacco cutting machine in a field and was pulled in yesterday. Then I read about a truck holding 60 puppies that caught on fire and killed every last one of them!

Not too smrt.


p.s. I doubt a woman would ever stick her foot into a wood chipper--even one from N.Ontario

Exactly. Women tend to confine their stupidity to putting their hand down the stuck kitchen garbage disposal, only losing several digits. Whereas men are stoopid, stoopid.

That's a hideous story. Reminds me of "Fargo". I wonder if he could've reached the off button or if he immediately went into shock or something. How awful......

What horrible terrible no-good news site do you read? I don't get that kind of carnage on the BBC.

This article is from a local newspaper.

The man was pulled in by one leg. He likely had one foot on the ground, much like you are compacting a garbage can with one foot. He witnessed his leg going in and then went the rest of the way from the pubal area up. He was awake for most of it.

This is worse than Fargo. I'm pretty certain he guy in Fargo was dead already.

Interesting that they stress the point that the victim was identified. He was _identified_.

I mean, isn't the grisly, freakish death itself what's most newsworthy here?

Or might this have been a follow-up to an earlier article that we didn't see:

"Unidentified Person Wood-Chipped To Death in Pleasant Prarie!
-- Investigators unable to make 'heads or tails' of victim"

Could be. I bet identification would be difficult and time-consuming.

But they did it! And who was it? Whoever could it be???? Oh, it was the guy operating the machine. I'd never have guessed.



Besides me, who else thought this thread was going to be about one of Saddam's political foes or their children?
