    Dung gone and done it again!

    I'm glad the article didn't poo poo around with the facts.

    Let that be a lesson to the rest of the works! Poonishments should be quick and orderly!

    manure..it's always the #2 product.

    Favorite TV show for people who deal with poo....Dookie Howzer MD.

    Poo'Boy sandwiches probably aren't poopular there.

    Wonder if they drove a heavy doodie truck.

    Poo jokes no matter how funny always end up #2.

    Hey, boss, I'm dung for the day.

    Dung...dung...dung...dung...DUNG! - new Jaws theme, it's set in a sewage facility.

    Remember friends...Poo onto others, as you would have them poo to you.

    Forgive them, fore they know not what they poo.

    You poo, I poo, we all poo!

    I'm not a very good swimmer in a poo-l.

    Motley Poo is coming to town!

    When in Rome poo as the romans poo.

    Where do manure works like to vaction? The deep poo sea!

    You're so sharp, did you have tack soup for lunch? LoL too funny you are
    But comedy aside, RIP to those two souls who died like that!
    Reminds me of an old joke where the dude went down below when he died and they gave him three different doors to choose from to spend the rest of eternity in. The first door he could hear a bullwhip and a chopping sounds like a guillotine and he didn't even want them to open the door. The second door sounded like elevator music so he opened it and there was a bunch of people standing in poop that was waist level drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. He says this ain't bad I'll take this door. As soon as he gets inside a big buzzer went off and the loud speaker says "ok breaks over, back to standing on your hands!"

    Confined space training. I suggest everyone take a training course. Whether it be septic tanks, voids, tanks, so forth and so on, in many cases it’s two people because one tries to rescue the other by going in without the proper PPE. Always try to avoid confined spaces. If you must be around one, use an air monitor and a confined space rescue system.

    If they were in NY, they had already fallen into a manure tank.

    R.I.P. Drivers. My sincerest condolences to the families and friends. This is a tragic accident.
    I can't believe there are no handholds, or anything internal, like a platform, to keep this from happening?
    I would think OSHA would be all over the manufacturers to provide handholds for egress?

    Anything inside the tank is a place for build up. The big top loaders do have rungs to climb in on… I’ve never opened the top of a vac tank but I would think that the have something.

    If you really need to be in the tank you remove the pump off the front and go in from ground level. It also creates air flow inside the top loaders. Not safe but safer.
