“they probably were crushed”
You’re half right:
FTA:
“But they do know that Artes died from asphyxiation—meaning that he was likely buried alive. Hendershot died from blunt force trauma to the mid-section, meaning that she likely died from falling or by having coal fall on her.”
The chick probably got hit when the car loader began and the dumbass dude likely ran to the other end and was covered in a few seconds.
The article MSM writer probably didn’t get much of the story right very doubtful there are any “bottom dump” unloaders that drop into a truck with coal going to a power plant operating in Florida these days. Bottom dumper cars are old technology and are much slower unloading than rotary unloaders, where the whole railcar actually is turned upside down dumping to 100+tons all at once.
