Abstract: On August 31, 2005, Employee #1 was emptying a 130,000 bushel silo. The silo was empty enough that the door near the 3,000 bushel level could be opened. One of the spouts bridged up with grain, and Employee #1 entered to break up the bridge. When the grain started to flow, it pulled Employee #1 down into the spout. He was suffocated by the grain.
