I have a recurring dream where this sort of thing happens to me or someone I love. It's scary as shit! (No pun intended).

he was one lucky lad, my local contractor refuses to agitate with kids on the farm at all, he only wants to see the man or woman who is paying him, he hs never had any accident sand never will, to stick and that's how it should be done

What i dont understand is, you say their is toxic fumes that can kill you and the fumes are dangerous at the point of micing. So how come some people are going unconscious with the fumes but this guy splashes around in it and survives? Surely splashing around in it will release fumes?

They weren't agitating yet they were preparing for it and when he came along he wanted him out of the way like you would not have open slates in the middle of the shed open

@@Doyle7810. that doesnt answer my question. Does splashing around in it release deadly gasses?

@@loadapish idk I am no expert but when it's agitating there is gases under the slurry waiting to get realesed Halfway down there would be like a hallway mark to where you could drown with the gases but still if you had your head underwater It's when they are agitating the slurry/gases come from out the bottom and get turned over

@@loadapish the gases are trapped under the solid manure settled at the bottom and when you put ur manure pump in and begin to agitate it moves the solid manure and the bubbles come ride the wall

@@suttonstluka3921 ahhh so splashin on the surface probably wont release deadly gases then its only the stuff on the bottom that releases it. That makes more sense thanks. Knowledge is power

I thing I'll never forget is when the dog fell into the tank the farmer got a ladder went in after the dog then he got into trouble then I think it was the son went in after him he got into trouble then the sister went in after them trying to get them out she got in trouble and they all ended up dying
