This is an example of the kind of large scale dough mixers. Typically handles 1000lbs of dough...those augers do not stop rotating for anything...
OUCH...

A worker was found dead on Monday morning after falling into a Tortilla mixing machine Monday morning in Brooklyn, New York.
It all happened at about 2:30 a.m. at Tortilleria Chinantla when police responded to a 911 call of an unconscious man.
When police arrived they found the body of the 22 year-old Hispanic man who appears to have fallen victim to an industrial accident.

Yuk!!!! I’m going vegan!
(Good one, btw!)
Hey! More power to them. I hope there’s an army of “legal entrepreneurs” ready to pounce every time an illegal alien laborer gets dinged.
The more expensive it becomes to hire illegals...
If it’s New York, he was probably Dominican or Puerto Rican, though I’ve known a bunch of guatemaltecos, costaricenses, nicaraguenses, colombianos, and salvedoreños there as well.
Pretty much every hispanic country is represented in Nueva York.
Upton Sinclair wrote a book about it. Anyone remember the passage in “The Jungle” about the workers who fell into the rendering vats?
“Those who make the big money off their backs live in the gated communities [...] McMansion”
I see Chavez & Buma nodding their heads at your post. Take your socialist class envy some place where it’s wanted.
Please tell me his name wasn’t Mr. Bean......
I remember that. I also remember the story of the Irishman who drowned in a huge vat of whiskey. He fell in five times. His friends kept pulling him out, but damned if he didn’t keep falling in again.
On the bright side, the mortician didn’t need any embalming fluid for his body.
Dub Taylor was an American treasure.

Socialist my assfay. Karl Rove’s “immigration reform” initiative of 2007 saw the elites on both sides come together. Big Business loves the cheap labor and the Dems love the cheap votes. You need to study up about how Big (notice I said “Big”) Business colludes with Big Government to hamstring their competition and fleece the consumer/taxpayer. Just look at Jeff Immelt and GE toadying to Obama. I would suggest Tim Carney’s “The Big Rip Off” as to the history of big business and government expansion (at our expense, of course).
I knew a woman whose daughter was killed when she fell into a vat of salsa at work...
I guess the taco machine image is kind of funny but I keep picturing a young man being mangled by metal equipment and dying in pain. Funny...I can even imagine that he might have been a decent hard working guy trying to support his family despite his ethnic heritage or legal status. Does that make me a liberal or simply a Christian?

They would've made a great couple.
