Yeah I read that the other day.... how horrible! I had to look up what exactly a Crucible was. I picked up something from the John Deere Foundry(I think) in Waterloo IA, I remember how hot is was in there and the suits everyone was wearing.....

Oh, that's absolutely tragic. It's heartbreaking to hear about Steven Dierkes' passing in such a horrifying accident. Falling into a crucible sounds like an unimaginable ordeal. My thoughts go out to his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. It's important to remember him and honor his memory, especially considering the tragic nature of his passing.

This happened a year ago. Either way it’s particularly gruesome.
