A small tornado hit a sewage farm next to a junkyard in my town about twenty years ago. It sucked an electrician out of a trailer on the sewage farm and dumped him head first into the muck, legs waving in the air.
The junk yard owner showed me a copy of his loss of business insurance claim form:
Merchandise covered with shit when tornado hit sewage farm next door. Customers wouldn't come in for a week.

I still think he should be nominated and let the panel decide to give it to him or at least make him an honorable mention. I may be wrong, but if my tractor and aerator equipment was slipping toward a lagoon of excrement, I think I would know it and I'd jump the hell out while the cab was still over land.......

I guess mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was not an option. ROTFL!
To: Jimmyclyde
The poor man, my heart goes out to him. Of all the awful situations, this is one of the worst. And definitely the WORST rescue call to go on.

NO FAIR!!!! I just snorted soda all over my key board!

I think scrapping up the guy who jumped 9000 ft from the plane in Houston...is a messy clean up operation too.

The farmer was:
In deep s@&#.
Up s*&@ creek without a paddle.
In a s&%$-load of trouble.

The formula is Length x Width x Depth = Volume in cubic feet.
Volume of runoff = # of Cows x daily output(in cubic feet)/Cow x Desired detention time (Days)
The type of soils and sub-surface geological conditions will dictate the detention time required for the liquid effluent to percolate into the soils. Take this information to your Civil Engineer and they can size your pond.

"Same thing happened to a Texas truck driver a couple of years ago! They didn't find him for days!" I believe the case you're speaking of actually happened in Western Oklahoma -- near LaVerne. Guy was driving a tanker, transferring sludge on a hog operation from a malfunctioning lift station to the lagoon.
Apparently slid into the lagoon on his last trip of the day. Everybody else went home and nobody missed him until he and the truck didn't show up the next morning. They eventually found the tire marks at the lagoon...and knew the awful truth.
They had to pump out the lagoon in order to recover the truck and ol' Joe Bob...
Not a pleasant story...

Take this information to your Civil Engineer and they can size your pond. No, thank you. I have cement structures. Much safer, IMO.
To: Jimmyclyde
He evidently got into some deep $#it. He definitely got in over his head.

To me you reference to the Darwin Award is in bad taste.
But, I defend your right to say it...
