I came across this news article about a longshoreman dying from being crushed by a container on a ship.

Longshoreman Crushed To Death By Fallen Container At Port Of Long Beach CBS Los Angeles

From the article...
A crane operator reportedly dropped the container on his boss by accident.

Not to be irreverent or uncaring or disrespectful or anything like that but dang! How many of us have at some point in time wished for a 40 foot shipping container to drop out of the sky onto our boss? :D
