Title: If you buy canned tuna don't buy Bumble Bee Brand

If you buy canned tuna  don't buy Bumble Bee brand. 2 managers were charged with murder after turning on an oven while an employee was cleaning it resulting in the worker getting cooked.  >:(

I usually buy store brand tuna, like ShopRite or Giant/Martin's/Stop & Shop

Terrible way to die. Reminds me of a story I read about a man who was working inside a huge machine at a Ford transmission plant; they didn't have a proper lockout/tagout program in place so when lunch break was over the crew went back to work, didn't realize he was inside and switched it on. The write reported that they had the deceased man's job posted before the day was out :o

I suspect something similar happened here. If nobody knows...nobody knows.

When I was a very young kid my mother worked in the office at a Bumble Bee plant. Pretty cool to watch all those fish go by on the conveyor. That smell is still in my head, though! We used to eat LOTS of tuna back then.

My father-in-law was a diemaker at Chrysler, and shortly before he retired one of his co-workers was killed in an accident.  If you know anything about the stamping process, and how big and heavy dies are, you'd have to conclude it was a totally horrible way to go.

The same applies to industrial grinding machines...
