This happens far too much. My heart and prayers go out to the family. There has to be a way they can make these things safer.

This is just terrible ! I pray for his family and friends. just wish someone could come up with a safety suit or self rescue apparatus for these workers. The importance of what they do is immeasurable. Tragic, real tragic.

Confined spaces are dangerous. Grain is like quicksand and once it has you it is hard to get out.
