A worker at a circuit board factory in Redwood City, Calif., was found dead in a waist-high vat of sulfuric acid over the weekend.

Even more disturbing, the man's body was discovered by his father.

If this hadn't been reported by respectable news agencies, it would have "urban myth" or "bad mafia movie" written all over it.

The news, however, was reported early Sunday by the San Mateo Daily Journal and later expanded by the San Jose Mercury News.

This sounds like a perfect opening for them.


Sorry for the that guy. Must have been unbelievably painful way to go. :-(

2. He passed out from the fumes...oxygen deprivation, not fainting.

If he was unconscious I most likely felt little...

Still, what a way to go. Poor guy.

3. No one is asking the more important question:

Why did his FATHER have to come to the workplace and search the ACID VAT for him? Doesn't the plant have any on-site management or safety practices or even a buddy system??????
