She fell in while doing maintenance work
(Newser) – An Oregon woman almost died in an extremely unpleasant way after falling into a septic tank at her rural home, authorities say. Firefighters believe the Clackamas County woman was doing maintenance work when she fell into the tank, where she was trapped for up to three days, KPTV reports. "It looks like there was work being done on the septic tank," says Estacada Rural Fire District No. 69 division chief Richard Anderson. "There was a tractor in the area and a hole had been dug exposing the tank. And then she had fallen through about a 2-foot by 2-foot hole in kind of the rusted metal top of the tank." The woman, who lives alone, was found Tuesday afternoon when her daughter, who hadn't heard from her in a few days, drove up to check on her.
Anderson says the woman was found lying with her face just above the raw sewage. He says she was alert enough to grab the handle of a tool that was lowered down, KATU reports. "She was able to grab ahold of that, sit up slightly and they were able to get some other poles, a strap around her back and under her arms and then hoist her up out with that," the chief says. He says she had no visible injuries, but was taken by helicopter to a Portland hospital to be checked out for possible infections and the effects of having been in a space with limited oxygen for a long time. A neighbor says that according to relatives, the woman is expected to make a full recovery.
She was looking for an improvement over Downtown Portland.
No Mitt!
That just stinks!
Don’t try to steal the title from Florida! Consider this a warning .
Talk about a sh..y experience.
So where did she go potty on those days?
She stayed warm enough so where do you think?
It could be worse. My Scottish grandmother told me that,no matter how bad your day is, it could be worse.
Spent days in an actual s#ithole...
She should be fine in San Francisco.
Three days? In a septic tank? I was warned by the contractor who connected our house with city water that if I climbed down into the old cistern, even with the lid off, the lack of oxygen would kill me. Something about this story “doesn’t smell right”.
Just what kind of DIY "maintenance" goes on in a septic tank? Was there a youtube video involved? Jeff Foxworthy how-tos?
Anderson says the woman was found lying with her face just above the raw sewage.
Ahhh, just another day on Facebook then..
That's what happens when this kind of stuff leaches out, the whole world gets wind. What can you do.
It would really add insult to injury if she had toilet paper stuck on her shoe. Ugh.
She was pissed off; the ticket said “Detroit.” Now she’s looking for a lawyer.
Ever notice women never say there are not enough women septic tank pumpers or porta john cleaners and men have all those jobs?
Women want to pick and chose what jobs where they want equality which tells me right there feminism is a scam. They don’t want equality but favorability.
No . . . This is too easy . , ,
Not even possible. Septics produce deadly methane. The tank had to have been empty.
Gives a pretty good description of what it’s like to live in the leftist sewerhole of the east coast New York sh*tty.
“It could be worse. My Scottish grandmother told me that,no matter how bad your day is, it could be worse.”
Yes, it could have been someone else’s sh!t.
Right now in my head all I can hear is Fred Rogers singing
“You can never go down, can never go down, can never go down the drain....”
Well apparently you can.
