This morning it's OSHA-3, Florida Man-0. Same scenario that we read about all the time: person A goes into an unventilated manhole and collapses. Person B goes for the rescue and collapses. Person C goes to help and collapses. Turns out that it was a cocktail of hydrogen sulphide and methane that got them. Ventilate your confined spaces, people. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2017/01/16/crews-work-to-free-workers-in-key-largo/?e=uLXN0pHsbQKGPQ

"Man gets 99 years for stealing 18-wheeler" Published: Friday, June 28, 2002 DALLAS (AP) — An unemployed truck driver has received a 99-year prison term for stealing a tractor-trailer rig loaded with lumber and leading authorities on a 90-minute chase through Dallas as the truck's cargo caught fire. Burnice Wilson received the sentence Thursday from a Dallas County jury for the Nov. 7 robbery following a three-day trial and more than two hours of jury deliberation. http://lubbockonline.com/stories/062802/upd_075-2512.shtml
