What a way to go - ouch...

 

Steven Dierkes (left), 39, fell into a 2,600-degrees molten iron 

crucible on Thursday at Caterpillar Mapleton Foundry after he tripped. 
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood said that foul play has been ruled out and that an investigation led by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the county's coroner office and sheriff's office is ongoing. 'He was taking a sample of iron for the met lab and apparently just tripped,' an anonymous veteran factory worker told World Socialist Web Site.

 Another worker told the outlet that Dierkes was only on the fifth day on the job and hadn't received 'sufficient training' to be in the melting area. Dierkes' death is the second fatal incident at Caterpillar Mapleton Foundry in less than a year after another worker fell into his death, off a ladder in December.
