“Firefighters plan to interview the man at the hospital to determine what he was doing in the dumpster prior to the incident. ”

“..And THAT, my children, is why we never ever take our mid day naps or play Hide & Seek inside of a garbage dumpster. It doesn’t matter what you’ve seen SpongeBob do in those cartoons!”

Dumpster diving can be more dangerous than deep sea diving.

The Sam Peninpah classic The Getaway had Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw (his real life wife) hide in a dumpster which was then loaded into the garbage truck where the compression phase was turned on.

Movie had superior gunfights and is one of my favorites. McQueen taught Ali because she couldn’t drive and she did several stunt drive sequences so the film would look realistic.

Hiding in the trash.

“Firefighters plan to interview the man at the hospital to determine what he was doing in the dumpster prior to the incident.”

Many times, sleeping. Others hunting food or little things they can use.

Firefighters said the man had been digging around inside the dumpster before it was dumped into the vehicle.

No way he did not hear the truck pulling up. Those things are loud.

At first, I wondered if ICE was taking out the trash. However, the truth is stranger than fiction with dumpster-diving as the problem.

Who writes these pieces? Cannot get over how badly this is written.

And this information is from 2 contiguous sentences:

...it’s unclear if the man was injured by the machine.

While the man remained trapped, paramedics managed to reach his arm through the trash to administer medication through an IV for his injuries.

the Recology operator had used the compactor at least once,

Ouch.

Lesson here: always have a spotter when dumpster diving.
