(1999, England) Wayne wanted to make a few bucks by selling stolen scr*p metal. He sneaked into a demolition site and surveyed the area for valuable hunks of debris. His eyes fastened upon what appeared to be a 3 thick copper pipe. That would fetch a fine fee! But it was too heavy for him to budge it.
He hauled a few lesser chunks of metal away, and returned with sturdy bolt cutters. It was then, when he attempted to sever the pipe, that he was shocked to discover that it was actually an aluminum cable carrying 11,000 volts of power. The paramedics who later tried to revive the electrified Wayne were thwarted by the current. He did not survive to be charged with his offences.

(9 October 2008, South Africa) For days, Johannesburg office workers watched a demolition worker slowly chip away at a pillar supporting the concrete slab above him. One said, I wondered how they would drop that section. The walls were gone, and only the supporting pillars remained. * +

Dozens of observers watched the slow and senseless demolition proceed. Finally the only possible outcome concluded this epic battle. The besieged support collapsed, crushing man and machine beneath a pile of rubble. Ishmael M., 52, was killed instantly inside the cab of his mini-excavator. * +

Observers said they had been concerned about the workers' safety for several days. I cannot believe they did not foresee this, said a shocked witness who did not forsee this. There was no common sense! * +
